Yes because you have absolutely no right to tell me what to read and what to ignore. No right at all.

I don't like rugby. But I don't have any quarrels about others discussing it. What little of it is discussed here on this gaming centric forum doesn't push important discussion topics down. If 10 of the hot topics were rugby-related, i'm sure many users will start getting pissed too.

OP is complaining about the inability to post new threads on NX predictions. Would he be offended if I told him to not come to vgchartz if he doesn't like their rules? I hope he would be, it wouldn't be my place to tell someone to pretty much 'f off'.

And on topic, it's not my fucking exacting need is it? It's a preference of the majority, or atleast a healthy portion of vgchartz that the overabundance of a topic is affecting their enjoyment of this site for differing reasons. Mine is that these topics have no substance, not enough to allow for hundreds of threads. Others may differ, but the end result is we would like to see less of them. It's fine to ignore one thread, but when it's usually 5 or 6 on the main page, you can't ignore it, it's pushing relevant content out.

No one is losing out here. Gather in one thread and share ideas. If that thread dies, then truth be told, no one really wants to discuss predictions, they just wanna say their prediction and run.

I hope you can see how different this logic is to your original logic (I'm referring to the 3rd paragraph). And it makes much more sense.

But truth be told, I can't remember a time when there was more than max 2 NX threads in the hot topics at one given time. And I think you're exaggerating. And if you're exaggerating, I have the right to tell you to ignore one or two threads, as you yourself conceded is fair and reasonable (underlined, words being "it's fair", which it is). And if you tell me I have no right to demand that of you, then it's my right (and I would be right to say) that you're being unreasonable and unfair.

Hai capito?

Why have you got this idea that I am incapable of ignoring things? I can ignore a million threads, i'm just not going to be forced or told to.

And yes there have been plenty of times where i've seen at least 5 NX threads on the homepage. And 5 threads pretty much about the same thing mean 4 less threads get featured. 90% of the conversation on this site occurs from the threads on hot topics. Other threads barely get any attention if they dont bump on hot topics. 

If it was legitimate news like 'Miyamoto says nx will have a mario game at launch' and that same thread is used to predict which mario game it'll be, that's fine. It's news, and it's on topic, and the predictions are based of his statements. 

If i'm being unreasonable and unfair, then so are the majority of vgchartz users who agree. If the majority of vgchartz users are 'being unreasonable and unfair', maybe collectively, they're not being unreasonable and unfair because they all agree! I think the right to request you do not try to censor me to content is a natural right everyone on vgc deserves. You're free to call me unreasonable and unfair, but forums only survive while users who are on it are happy. Especially with vgchartz numbers updating monthly for the past few months, if theh forums are the only reason we come to this site now, it's best to keep the majority happy - not the minority who think catering to their own whims is high and mighty above others.

Once again, you're free to post your NX predictions... but for now, in a thread dedicated to that. I'm sure vgchartz members would be annoyed if I posted a review thread for every single soccer match that occured in the premier league. Probably better to stick it in one updating thread, or a new thread weekly.
