Maybe if you start them with "I'm super cereal here" followed by a lengthy, extensive plea for your case.

Be sure to include such gems as "now hear me out" and "I just want somebody in the world to take me cereal just for once!"


What if I pour milk on it?  Is it still cereal? I mean if it sets too long without attention it would just be soggy and messy kind of like kowen explained it :P

lol I just used 3 similar threads that got moderated differently.

I am offended that you bunch in my super cereal thread with the other two. Reported for disagreeing trolling.

ManBearPig thread is pure trolling. He deserved that ban.

Galaki thread is sarcasm and an obvious joke thread.

Rol thread is trolling. He should have gotten banned for that. Took it too far.

Yeah, I get that Galaki's thread was an obvious joke. It was easy to tell, because the Sony game came out on top.

No offense but your thread crossed the line. It's actually pretty much the same as ManBearPIgs thread. Who cares if you didn't start a flame war that shouldn't be the basis for moderations. If at least 1 person took offense from it then I think the mods should respond. I wonder if you at least got a warning for that thread....at least unofficial.



LMAO you're the guy who made that "MS will be third next gen" thread and now you complain about troll threads? My my...

That's not a troll thread dude. I'm not bashing Microsoft or anything XBox. I'm not even saying "PS3 iz better". 
Just because the thread is a negative one about Microsoft, doens't mean its trolling. There is a difference. If you feel otherwise then report the thread and let the mods handle it.


If a poster is not particularlly positive towards a company and then proceeds to post negative news about that company, it does produce negative responses from people who see them as just trying to push their agenda.  In that regard it is often seen as a troll thread.  That viewpoint seems to be valid in every thread Nsanity, Kow, Sales, etc, etc, that they start which mentions anything remotely negative towards Sony.

In my opinion your thread is trolling but perhaps unintended as you've made a prediction based on flawed reasoning with a intent to get a response from people.  Of course I simply decided to not post in it which is unfortunately what others who thought the same should have done rather than justify it's existence with replies.  You're right though that people shouldn't whine in your thread or on here about it but just report it and move on.

Why even quote me? I would not agree with you if my face was on fire and you said water would put it out.

It doesnt matter if you agree or disagree. Its a public forum and I can quote who I want.

Especially when someone is wrong on the internet.

I thought they were funny. People are too sensitive these days.

I personally wouldn't have moderated MBP's thread, but I understand why that action was taken

ANYONE is allowed to post negative news or posts about a company. THAT DOES NOT MEAN IT'S TROLLING. Like I said before, ther is a difference. Threads are meant for discussions and if you disagree with my view point then so be it.

If we weren't allowed to post negative news about our least favorite company then somone like Kowencki would get banned every time he makes a thread. It's no secret that bad Sony news ends up being posted by him. I'm fine with that. I've learned to look at the news, not at the user. I don't take these things personally, you shouldn't either.

Try quoting yourself every time you post then.

Why are you getting upset?  People don't have to agree with you and they are allowed to quote you if they don't.  If you don't want people to quote you then don't comment at all.
