and to think the gamers that never posted on forums haven't thought twice about their product being better or worse.

Of course ppl buy products because of their individual reasons which they look at and decide. To me, there is no arguing about personal flavors.

not sure if serious, but when i think about everything else like netflix that you have to pay for. the added cost of PSN+ or live, shouldn't be there. but XBL you have to have just to use your netflix subscription.

that makes it seem like you're being nickel and dimed. i'm not paying for live, just so i can watch the netflix i've already paid for. they have tv's that can get netflix, and you don't have to pay another service just to watch netflix. 

Yes, and there is a very fine line there, which is why I argue that rules should be enforced over common sense. If it were to lead to too many bans, I would say a revision of the specific rule is required, but to have that situation where the actual person posting the information is deemed o be the determining factor between trolling and discussing, well that leads to problems.

love the way you put that. personal flavors always dictates purchasing habbits, and for the consumer it's subject to change at anytime.

He shouldn't have had to ask people not to troll the thread.

Except that wouldn't and doesn't work for obvious reasons...

For example: PS2 and Xbox. It's pretty obvious which was the better console.

See? This is what I'm on about.

a) were pretty much had the same power. The difference was negligible.

b) it was the game library that made them both good in their own ways. One had GT3-4, the other had Halo. One had DMC, they other, Fable.

I just want to make sure you understand that my position isn't that the recent moderations are a huge problem, but rather that it's I find it a bit one-sided. For instance, with jaywood...why did he get away with calling three people childish? I want Jaywood to know that I have no problem with him, but it did irk me that he came in here, was really reasonable, even going so far as to say that he understands and agrees, and then turns around, posts a link to my thread in his own, and calls me childish, when he was already warned for insults that day.

It's a lot more complex than you're making it out to be. I don't want them to abandon the "common sense law", but I would appreciate a lot of clarification.

Yeah, go on and claim mods have no common sense. The bans were justified including the ban of Jaywood.

And the thread you don't want to name is JayWoods thread about a XBL-discount that was heavily derailed by people that want VGC to be a bad place for discussions.
