Sorry for the digs but this had to be said. Shit like what's currently going on this forum is exactly what gets people like Trump elected. A world where bullshit isn't called out as the bullshit it is and slowly makes people think that bullshit is absolutely fine even when coming from an official candidate. Cool if you want to live in a world full of bullshit and anti-intellectualism, I don't want to. A world where facts are called lies and opinions are put on a pedestal not because they're well founded but simply because they exist. And being in an actual democracy(even if this forum strictly speaking isn't one) I try to make my voice heard. According to the voices in this thread the majority agrees with me, including the mods. I know it's hard to grasp that sometimes the majority decides what is to be done but sometimes that actually happens. Even if nothing comes out of this I will continue to call out the bullshit in this forum for what it is. |
They agree with you on the actual "common sense" things like double posting but I doubt they agree with what this thread is really about. What you want is locking any threads that you don't like. Just look at your examples of threads worthy of being locked.
"A thread claiming a console version of a game runs better than the PC version based on a single unverifiable instance" Wasn't there a batman game that was super buggy on pc but was okay on consoles?
"A thread claiming graphical superiority by making completely false assumptions and wrong FLOPS calculations" People can be wrong or not well sourced on something. Big deal.
"A thread claiming that Donald Trump did not lie when he clearly was" So? A politician/business lies. Whoopy Doo. If you want, I could get a vid with Hillary pandering and lying to Blacks by saying she carries around hot sauce in her purse.
A thread predicting 150m Xbox One sales because Crackdown looks awesome This one is really out there. You might as well be a guest on Ancient Aliens.
A thread saying everyone who is giving BOTW less than a 9/10 is a hater So what? You don't have to partake in the thread but some people like do. Some people like to toy people who make threads like that because they're kinda inviting that. What are complaining about on this? It's an opinion. Just like it's your opinion to disagree with it. Ignore it or post then leave it be.
Yeah.... I called it right on you. You should never have any sort of power over (or give a recommendation on) anything involving the expression of opinions because you can't understand the simple concept of "subjective" or what an opinion is. Just because you feel that you are right, doesn't mean that you are. It doesn't invalidate others' opinion when you think you are right. This applies the most to things that are subjective.
For example, what is the best console out of all console gens? Whatever your answer is, it's subjective because it's an opinion. There's no absolutely true answer to that especially with how the question was framed.
Common sense is subjective because what constitutes as common sense changes with a person's interests, natural abilities, upbringing and way of life. It depends entirely on knowledge base. Some people consider knowing how to swim common sense but alot of people don't. Some people consider "knowing how to change a tire" common sense but some don't. Some peope consider taking off your shoes at the door when you enter from outside to be common sense but some don't. It changes drastically when you start comparing countries but hopefully you get my point.
