I'm just trying to figure out what the "rule" is about posting sarcastic/joke posts so I can start reporting EVERYBODY that does it.

I mean obviously, if I'm to be warned for doing it, I'd love to have everyone that does it in this forum "warned" and/or banned.


your past posts shows about 95% are all regarding Sony. You're a sony fanboy who probably cries at night when people bash it or the newest sales come out and you claim bias. I see you everywhere trying to get anybody banned who says anything bad about the PS3, you should worry about your own smart remarks because you're probably on a faster track to getting banned than anybody else that way.


 Also, the reason 95% of my posts are Sony posts is becuase that's the only "next-gen" conosle I will own.  Call it fanboyism if you will, but I will not buy a console from Microsoft, ever.  And I just don't have any interest in the Wii.  So, I do what everyone should do and stick to the threads that concern me and my purchase.  I don't go trolling the Wii and 360 forums posting my thoughts on the consoles and my disinterest in them.

Next time try to post without calling me a "cry baby" of sorts.  It only makes you a troll.   I could also probably categorize your post under rule 3.4: "No posts specifically to to say that a poster or the thread sucks, either with words or pictures." by attack me personally.  On that thought.  Thanks.  You've been reported.



It seems the mods need help with this forum.  I have zero tolerance for trolling, platform criticism (Rule 4), and poster bad-mouthing (Rule 3.4) and you will be reported.

Like I said, you try to report everybody on every thread you don't disagree with. You do cry about anything anybody says about the PS3 or the sales on here, that's not an insult or a person attack, you're just sensitive. There's nothing wrong with that except you can't respond in a non-inflammatory manner and you taunt mods.

You tell me to respond without calling you a "cry baby" of sorts. Do you even REMEMBER what you said to FishyJoe earlier? Let me remind you: Cry more. Please. Please explain the rule that I broke by placing a joke in the thread please. The one that deserved a "warning".

Hypocrite MUCH?

The first part totally makes sense.    I report that which I don't disagree with?  No, that would be dumb.  I do however report everyone that does what you do and trolls the Sony forum looking to stir up trouble.  The rules of the forums explicitly state that you are not to do what you are doing.  Trolling, criticism and personal attacks.

The "cry more" was really directed at the people that didn't get the fact that it was a joke and went off instantly defending the site.  You all know it happens on every forum here.  Someone posts a number and someone else makes a joke about it.  However, the mods let it fly when it's Sony bashing and will ban on site anyone that does it to the contrary.  The mods are clearly Wii/360 bias with the exception of MAYBE one person.   What you did was come out and directly said that I cry at night over something so trivial as a stupid console.  And your doing it again.  There's nobody crying here except the people that didn't get the joke, and apparently you now, for being reported.  Have you found that post by me complaining about the sales?  I thought not.  Way to dodge your own insinuation, just like everyone else here.  Make bold claims, but don't back it up.

Everybody starts at 1 post and as far as that article goes it is open to interpretation.

Nowhere does it state that the total includes the psp. It seems more possible that it could include the ps2 and the ps3 but I highly doubt that it includes the sony handhelds as well.

ps. Don't worry I will be making many more posts from hereon out.

 

Bloomberg.com found out from Sony Computer Entertainment corporate spokesperson Kimberly Otzman that the 100,000 actually was inclusive of all PlayStation consoles, which we would assume means PS2 and PSP as well – not so impressive.

I don't see what's open to interpretation. The Sony spokesperson says the number covers all Playstation consoles.

 

Many people don't count handhelds as consoles. I think 100k for all Sony platforms is ridiculous, since that would indicate about a 25% drop in sales from the previous weeks. Not likely.

100k for PS2 and PS3 combined makes a lot more sense for this quote.

 



Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!

He was attacking fishy for the inclusion of the PSP, when the text is straight from the site. They're not fishy's words so all this nonsense about him having some extra hatred for the PSP or whatever is just slightly humorous fanbitching.

It is true that they are not his words but he posted the article and supported the dubious assumption made by bloomberg and then started to gloat about poor sony sales.

Let's have a look at one section of the article again shall we and I quote "
Bloomberg.com found out from Sony Computer Entertainment corporate spokesperson Kimberly Otzman that the 100,000 actually was inclusive of all PlayStation consoles, which we would assume means PS2 and PSP as well – not so impressive."

Ok now I would seperate the first part of the paragraph which states that the spokesperson says that the 100.000 includes all playstation consoles and the second part where bloomberg makes the assumption which fishy supported.

The point I have been trying to make all this time is that at no point did the spokesperson specify if that figure included the handheld sales.

 I like how you used the word "attacking" as though somehow FishyJoe was the innocent party here.

Because calling people "fanboys" and "hypocrites" over pasted text certainly isn't an attack if you don't agree with what they're saying!
