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.

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?

Posters who have less of a habit of causing trouble tend to get more leeway. HappyD was over the line here, but just such that he needed an informal warning (at least in my estimation. Other mods are free to moderate as they will).

And man, my spelling there is terrible. Damn phones.

Edit - And no, you wont see many MS or Ninty fans reporting, because reports are anon. You wont see anyone reporting, unless they specifically say theyre reporting.

Funnily enough, the person well known for telling people isnt a Sony fan.


Didnt know reporting was anon, ive never done it in all my time here.

Everything else you said was spot on, it was a deflection thread anyone who says otherwise is lying to themselves, why use PS4? Wny not Xbone? or Ouya?

No they aren't anonymous. Mods can see who reported whom.

I get the whole leeway thing, but when posters deliberately go against rules that they are well aware of then i think it needs to be dealt with harshley.

Its one thing to get carried away with emotion in the heat of a debate but this isnt what happend here.

Edit: Poor fellow got banned anyways.

Yeah but I dont think they can go around saying who reported what. That would just dissuade people from reporting.

That much is obvious. 

Its anonymous to the average Joe, which is all that it needs to be to avoid further confrontation on the forums.

ok that makes sense



damn happy got banned. Maybe thats for the best, he is usually one of the more level headed guys around here, I dont know whats been going on with him lately. Maybe the shock of it all was too much.

Some sony guy on here must have insulted him badly or something like that. He seems fixated on the whole Sony vs MS vs Ninty thing. Which is happening to a lot of people lately.

Yeah i also remember happyd for being one of the more level headed posters, with the occasional emotional response on certain topics.
