2 things:

1) You can't go around insulting people. It's not going to help the quality of discourse, and i'll kindly ask you to stop.

2) Now that we've lost Amp and Trash, our alignments go thus: Pro-Nintendo: Me (heavily), Smeags (medium), Radishhead (light). Kasz is basically non-aligned. Barozi leans towards Microsoft, YoJohn moreso. Axumblade, Kresnik, and Kantor are decently pro-Sony, but far less to the degree than I am pro-Nintendo, for instance. There's no-one on the team who is going to go out their way to attack anyone.

The WiiU has been a failure.

The console itself is selling like trash. Its getting little next gen support. The controller doesnt yet have its killer app title. Nintendos developers havent been competant enough to get games out on time.

Most of all, its certainly not meeting Nintendos expectations, missing them by a long shot. They originally planned for 5.5 Million Wii U systems to be sold by April 1st. They actually sold 3.45 Million by that point. If VGC numbers are correct, theyre yet to sell that shipment.

The Wii U, right now, is a failure. They can pull.it out of the shit like Sony did with the PS3, but right now?Failure.

Discussion can be had on the topic, because its a very real point of conversation. Discussion cant be had on PS4 in the same way, because there is no material to work with.

I was just about to listen to BloodyRain and let it go, but I can't help answer this.

1) You expect me to not bring any mod issues up anywhere but in the Monthly report, and then I'm not allowed to say a mod is sony biased? I understand you guys want us to trust you but where can we talk about mod issues then if saying sony-bias is an insult?

2) You missed Torillian, who gave me a 10-day ban just under a month ago. Also, he and Kantor have been here for longer and I get the sense that they take more leasure to lock threads without asking the other mods, is this correct?

Any mod is free to lock any thread as long as they explain why. In a borderline case, I, like any other mod, would consult the other mods first. This was not a borderline case. No moderator has expressed any disagreement with the locking.

I will also point out that if you actually read my post in the legitimate Wii U thread, I quite clearly state that i don't believe that the Wii U is a failure: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5546307

That doesn't change the fact that it's a valid question to ask.

ouch

Was I right to say that the Sony crowd was quick to report it, or am I imagining things?

Just a question here Kantor...why don't you ban happyd?

I mean he purposefully makes a flame thread...as in he openly talks about how it was just to prove a point. That thread gets locked then he makes another thread discussing why the first thread was locked when he knew very well what the point of the initial thread was.

Everything happens exactly as planned and then makes baseless accusations against the entire MOD team being Sony bias despite the fact that we all know the MODS are not. Which is besides the point really.

Now he comes into this thread and makes another baseless accusation against the mods...again starting up trouble. HappyD has a serious problem with Sony fans and goes out of hes way to start something up. Surely this behavious is not only obvious but not welcome here on the site.

And despite all that HappyD has been around here for a quite a long time. How do you guys go about dealing with situations like this?

Im prety sure the report mechanism is anonymous. So kantor probably wont give you an answer on that.

You really need to get over the hole thing you have against "Sony fans". Its just going to end up getting you permabanned.

Not everything that gets discussed on the charts is linked to the all important fanboy wars.

i wouldnt believe you, how hard can it be to ask a mod who reported? No guessing required, educated or otherwise

and FYI it wasnt just SOny fans calling WIi U a failure
