Should mods have to own all 3 major systems (not including PC as it doesnt have fan boys as a rule)?    Just thought id throw that out there.  Controversial...but if I get banned for this then it stinks!

 

Why on earth would you get banned for this?

 

I have no idea but some of things I have been threatened to be banned for are also ridiculous.  No offense but power can corrupt.

 

Yeah well since this happened less than 30 minutes ago I'm assuming you're referring to me. 

My issue with you was simply one of sensationalism. Your point was a legit point for discussion even if it wasn't a valid point, the way you delivered it brought it into trolling territory however, although I admit very lightly so.  The over-use of exclamations is a hallmark of the trolling fanboy, since I didn't remember seeing you post before I'm left with my first impression based on that. I gave you a non-recorded warning (ie a slight nudge to tone it down a bit) which is actually the lightest form of correction possible.

Civil debate on the facts is highly valued, when opinions get mixed in a certain amount of respect should be shown and sensationalizing your response by adding a ton of exclamation marks is certainly neither of those things, particularly as your first response to a mod.

@topic,

No, ownership of all three consoles is a ridiculous requirement.  Intelligent posters who have shown an ability to stay calm and respectful even when others are not should be required, and it is.   Now, I'm pretty sure you could probably find a situation where almost all of the mods have gotten testy or short with folks(even this is probably rare), but you won't find them openly flaming someone.
