when was this ever a shitty community?

And honestly, it's pretty easy to tell who wants to have a discussion and who is just trolling.

under the mod leadership prior to the current regime.... i hated it here.  i was very close to leaving.  instead i mostly stopped posting.

He still crops up on the old staff chat from time to time. Likely the new staff chat too, but i don't want to use Skype (and the mod-specific one still runs on AIM)

um...check 95% of your thread titles?



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

so basically you are saying anybody who is misinformed should be banned?

There is a difference between being misinformed and intentionally misinforming others.  Especially with the intent of inciting frustration in others.

One is understandable.  The other should be worthy of a ban.


The second part falls under Flamebaiting though, doesn't it?

 

Flamebait and trolling. Posts or signatures slamming a particular platform without basis - be it a specific console, macs, windows, or anything similar - will not be tolerated. This applies to specific games as well as consoles.

  • You always have the right to express your opinion, as long as it is relevant to the thread topic, and you do so in a civil manner, justifying what you say. If you want to discuss something other than the thread topic, make your own thread.
  • The forums are here for gamers of all persuasions, so unless you're in a thread specifically geared towards platform comparison/discussion, keep your anti-platform comments out of the thread. Note that there is a difference between having a reasonable argument in the correct thread and trolling.
  • Similarly, do not create threads, posts or signatures just to bait people of a specific fan group. Bait threads will be locked and you will be moderated for them. If you spend a lot of time making hit-and-run negative threads or posts about a specific platform you will also be moderated at the discretion of the moderators.

Indeed it does but it's so rampant that it's as if the rule doesn't even exist.
