How about a single PS+ news thread?


That would be great.

LOL. this is crazy talk. Whether you believe it or not, some people enjoy those arguments you see. As long as they are respectful, then there is no reason to lock the threads, regardless of how biased you may think the arguments are. You can't just say ban these arguments because you don't like them lol. Who do you think you are?


Then why ban Forza and Gran Turismo threads?


They are banned when insults get thrown around, people become disrespectful, etc. 

Also, all Forza and Gran Turismo threads aren't locked. Here's two threads about Gran Turismo here

The mods allow people to make threads about Gran Turismo if they want. Same for Forza.



The Official EU/NA PS+ & Store updates thread -

 However, as has been pointing out, the latest thread you're referring too was talking about a different point, how PS+ is good for publishers who want to use it to increase sales for future installments in a franchise. The argument about PS+ vs. XBL wasn't part of the original purpose. It wasn't just a "I like PS+," so I think it has every right to exist.

They banned 3 recent ones and that is what I'm saying, XBL and PS+ threads have just as many insults and argueing as them is that not true?

First off to those jumping to the conclusion that the OP means stop all PSN and XBL threads - That is NOT what he means. He means to stop creating threads regarding PS+ vs XBL where people keep on bickering about which is more appealing, a better value prospect, etc. At the end of the day it's all a matter of situation and preference. These threads are being created at a rate of about 2 per week over the last month and it's the same people from both camps sharing their own opinions ad nauseum.

Rule #9:  ...Similarly, even if it's well defended, repeating your opinion about a console or game multiple times is also spamming.

Yeah, no dude. Just no. Don't like em? Ignore them. No one forces you to read them or comment on them. Seriously, no offence, but what gives you the right to tell people what to do? What's next? Stop making zombieU threads(just cuz I don't like tha game)?


Because mods ban Forza and Gran Turismo threads.  Why is this any different?  

We don't ban Forza and Gran Turismo threads. The incident a couple of weeks back started with a poor thread (although the topic was approved by a moderator, the content was poor) that spawned a number of retaliation threads and in the end none of these threads was of any measure of valuable discussion. They were all "Here are my goal posts so that my preference shines better". We're fully happy to see people discussing Forza and Gran Turismo reasonably but to my recollection that has NEVER happened on these boards. 

As for these constant PS+ vs XBL threads, I'll have you know that we are keeping tabs on these like we do for as much as we can on these boards. If discussions occur reasonably then there's no reason to shut them down but if too many threads spawn to beat the same arguments to death we will intervene. I will say that we're quickly approaching the tipping point. 

With that though, this thread is unnecessary. You can't tell people what to or not to discuss on the boards. That's the entire point of the boards. If you feel people are going overboard in their "sharing" of a particular topic, bring it to the mods' attentions. 

Locking thread.


Thank you very much for your answer
