Will one of the mods please explain to me why starcraft isn't banned yet? I mean seriously: He starts these threads trying to stir up people on all sides of the console battle, ignores what he wants and comes up with the same conclusion he already decided he was going to come up with when the thread started. It's blatant trolling. He ignores the fact that the PS3 20/60/80(for the most part) play every previous game in the PS library, but he claims they don't count because it doesn't match his favored system. He ignores the fact that the PC CAN be a home console if you just plug the stupid thing into your TV. He also constantly starts threads like this. He continues to incite these threads which I'm sure have already been discussed many many times (likely by starcraft himself) and somehow you let him continue?

I'm sure it's the page hits that ioi wants you to keep coming in though. Gotta keep that ad revenue streaming!

Sure, glad to explain.

He isn't banned because he is perfectly allowed to ask all manner of questions including creating threads that deal with hotly debated issues. Its quite simple really.  There is a difference between starting a contentious debate and trolling.

Starcraft, nor any user, is required to keep an open mind about such topics.  He, and all other users, are required to remain civil and respectful to the views of others.  If you feel he is not being civil and respectful you can simply report the offending post and let the moderators deal with it.  Choosing to take matters into your own hands is only going to get you in trouble, and that leads us to where we are now.

You came into this thread and started taking shots at Starcraft and, with this most recent post, you've gone so far as to insinuate that the moderators are conspiring to indulge users in bad behavior for personal gain which is frankly pretty insulting, in addition to being completely false.

Which brings me to your warning.  If you wish to be a part of this or any other topic of discussion you will abide by the forum rules including those which require you to stay on topic and rules which require you to substantiate any attack on this website.  If you find any part of these rules to be unclear please PM a mod and we will assist you in ascertaining their meaning.  If you find any part of these rules unreasonable I strongly suggest that you exercise your right not to post at all.   If the point isn't clear yet, this is a warning and your comments and actions will not be tolerated. Persist at your own peril.



To Each Man, Responsibility
