| Kerotan said: Probably the use of lol. Comes across as drive by shit posting no? He could have said, "boring game imo, unfortunately it will win GOTY" Instead "boring game lol (laugh out loud) unfortunately will win game of the year". Maybe another reason but that's probably it. If i say "Carl you suck at that game LOL" it comes across a lot more trollish then if I say "hey Carl, imo you suck at that game". And more importantly I should back up why I think you suck. Provide evidence. The same I presume applies here. Why is GOW boring. Other wise it's just lazy and can take the thread down the rabbit hole. |
If that was true, it would take us back to context and the users history, in which case Mason has no history of antagonistic behavior. Quite the opposite, actually. He's mainly a positive poster.
Also, that wasn't the reason. He was moderated because he didn't want God of War to win Game of the Year.

A post or poster that... [baits users, needlessly attacks platforms, enters topics deliberately looking to start fights/problems and/or has a minimal-to-strong history of any of those things]. |
I'll PM you about that one so I can give some clarification to the community and bring up another contradiction while I have your attention. Mainly on your definition of trolling. "Baits users, enters topics to start fights" being the key parts.

Back in September we had a bunch of threads quite clearly aimed at baiting users and annoying people or "starting fights".

Both posted within a day of each other, one thread was clearly made to bait Sony fans and one was created to bait a bunch of people with fake outrage and be a cheerleader for Sony with nothing but anecdotal posts to rile people up.
Here's how you responded to the anti-Sony one - http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8890959
| CGI-Quality said: I’m not against the idea of looking at these devices as responses to past devices, but this thread just feels totally unnecessary. After a brief discussion with other mods, we’ve concluded that this doesn’t need to go on and invite an inevitable fight on the site. |
Good job, you locked the silly bait thread.
Your response to the pro-Sony thread? Here - http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8890265

You... Protected the bait thread and ignored peoples calls to challenge the OP.
This isn't just evidence of bias in your decision making when it comes to Sony/PlayStation related stuff, along with the above Mason decision, but evidence on top that you (or whoever has been in your ear on these decisions) simply do not understand what trolling actually is. That's a frightening thought when it's a standard moderator, never mind an actual head moderator.
Now, I'll PM you about the Mason moderation.
