Forums - General Discussion - Posting Etiquette on VGChartz

Stop complaining about how some people come in a thread with bad intentions. It's exactly the type of rise they want so don't throw them that bone. Ignore them and move on.

So, if someone sticks their hand between my legs and starts kneading my junk, I should just go with it?

Sorry for the vulgarity of the question, but I think it's appropriate to your comment.

This aren't just forum rules, these are LIFE rules. You want to make the world a better place? Apply these to your lives. It makes it a lot easier to avoid not just acting like this on forums.

To a better world...

Whether this thread should have been made or not, it still is not going to change a thing.

The only thing you can do is control yourself, not everybody else.

Report people if you want but VGC creates intelligent trolls. They just go under the radar because some things are not in the rules.

If this rule was enforced more often then most of the trouble makers would disappear (AKA Ghost Trolling).

Flamebait 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.

You lost me at cunt....



"Games are a trigger for adults to again become primitive, primal, as a way of thinking and remembering. An adult is a child who has more ethics and morals, that's all. When I am a child, creating, I am not creating a game. I am in the game. The game is not for children, it is for me. It is for an adult who still has a character of a child."

No, good sir.  Cunt will do....Cunt will do.

This feels more like a campaign speech than anything else.

What I am tired of of is thread whining. We've become way to attach to companies and consoles that it has become personal.

Yes, its ok to say or read something negative about a company or console you like. It's also ok to praise it too.

We need to go back to 2008. Where everyone was showing pictures of themselves with their shirts off. It was a much happier place then. I've seen Carl's nipples and Seece's (seece back then). Most of you never will.. This place has become uptight.

But you will never encounter a situation on a forum that is like that (unless for some reason said person is at your house...which would mean you have bigger problems!). 

I've seen entire threads become near useless from people complaining about other people instead of posting about the topic on hand. If they would have ignored and reported the people they are complaining about, said thread would have been much better. Really though, even if you debate the person respectfully (without showing yourself getting flustered) that annoys them if all they are trying to do is get a rise out of you. But the two worst things you can do in a forum atmosphere is to complain about them or go off on them all angry like. That's what people like that strive for.

the vulgar language in the OP does wonders for the validity of your argument.


Read Rule 3. Bad language isnt against the rules here unless its in the thread title. Nor does it detract from any worthwhile discussion.

There is also no argument.

i was using the word "argument" loosely... as in you are presenting a new argument (or opinion in this case), an argument can also refer to an equation or command in programming. So i didn't mean it as a reference to some sort of disagreement between 2 or more parties,

I didn't say bad language was against the rules, nor suggesting it should be either.

I do completely think, and have observed, that vulgar language only detracts from mature and civil discussion. It more so reveals a lack of imagination and/or frustration. (In this case I'd say the latter and understandably so as it is quite frustrating at times reading the boards here). Even still resorting to the more base and vulgar language patterns do not help any premise (or argument) be seen as more valid.
