Akvod said: You can't define trolling as whatever you want. It's very disturbing to see that an OP can define trolling as a negative opinion and that the moderating team would ban people for that. But what's even more sadder is the thread. It should have been locked, and people should either have ignored it or called it out as a shit thread (a few people sort of did). I mean, let's just taker a looser definition of trolling as "off topic". What exactly was the topic in the thread? What exactly was to be DISCUSSED in the thread? Say for example that Microsoft permanently lowered LIVE's price. That's a news worthy story that has a lot of implication on Microsoft's business strategy and future actions. There's something to be talked about. What exactly were people supposed to discuss here?

People were suppose to thank him....

I get where you coming from. But i also dont see the need for a negative comment towards live.

And is that what you call discourse?

The answer is yes!

Nos it is the time when the moderation bans 90% of the VGC's comments... silly... no more discussion or community.

How in the world do you have time to make charts like this?

don't get me banned, I know your tricks.

If I know you like I think I do, saying yes to that question is probably bannable itself....

Negative comments are not moderable regardless.

Still not sure how Jaywood escaped moderation after telling someone "your opinion is worthless". Isn't that flaming? If not, I might start every reply with that, even if I agree with them. "Your opinion is worthless, but I think you're completely right."

well, it took 5 hours for this comment to get banned

"PSFB's just can't resist, can they?"

Maybe they are just resting a bit from all the ban hammers they swung around earlier, it's probably tiring work.

There are several flame and trolling comments in that thread yet to be moderated I'm sure.
