I can't say I am innocent of this but the biggest issue I have with this site is thread derailment. If a thread is about Forza, the GT5 people take over, a Move thread, the Kinect people comes in. I believe there must be strict rules about these stuff. If we want to compare games, make a thread about it, but too many times threads are being derailed on purpose and it kills great disscussions.


This is, I agree, the biggest issue. I even derail my own threads.

Although in the GT5/Forza instance, if a thread is made titled "Forza is the best Sim racer" and someone comes in, mentions GT5 and gives valid reasons as to why, I see zero issue with it, just like I see no issue if someone like Shio comes in a argues how iRacing is superior to Forza.

As long as the discussion stick to the topic, which in that case is "Best sim racer", I see no problem.

Well your example is another problem with the site which we use take care of before : Crappy Threads, there's so many of them, useless, only created to cause stir and fighting. I can tell a thread content by who makes it before i even read it. Although I know many disagree with me, I believe not everyone should be able to make threads, and too many are being made by the same people and are usually nothing but problems.

Well what would you consider a crappy thread? The type I just mentioned?

If so then I disagree, because if someone is looking for best possible Sim racer, then stumbles upon that thread, discovers the facts about other titles not pertaining to the initially mentioned title, it in fact benefits that person in search of the "Best sim racer".

A  "best sim racer " thread is fine if done right

@ OP  There is a flaw in your post when you claim that trolling is way up despite a weak Asian following. 

Where did you get these numbers?  They must be UNDERTRACKEDZZ.

Maybe I should start a counter thread...

I blame the bigger trolls leaving. Now there are so many lesser trolls running rapid. 

The bigger trolls were effective, creative, smart, hard-working, and funny IMO. They worked hard for their trolling. 

The trolls today are just annoying, repetitive, lazy, and just flat out stupid. 

I prefer me some rare quality trolling over weak trolling in large amounts.

Quality > Quantity  

 

Someone needs to make a website titled "trolling 101" to teach these guys how it's done.

I do not think they are biased, never said they were. I just think that there were many times where getting banned was too easy and some werenot what I would consider bannable and many cases where I think cases of "trolling" were not really "trolling".

 

 

You were not the on;y one I have long lost count of times I held back my real opinions to avoid a ban. It did feel like you were not allowed to have an opinion and in the past when that has happened I enjoyed the site less. Now I am still cautious but I have found a lot of the arguing and true opinions being shared much better than the times when I couldn't even say I felt one company deserved more sales than another company.

What? I thought they were cool in the late 90's with the amazing jeckyl brothers being their last good album.
