What about, "oh look, it only took one page for x people to downplay this news" type posts?

There are over 13,000 subscribers to the Xbox One subreddit on Reddit.  The fact that there are so few here has nothing to do with how many fans there are of the Xbox 360 or Xbox One, it's that we as a fan base here have to deal with people that make being here unenjoyable. 

How you can compare two consoles, which are almost even in terms of unit sales, and say one community is larger than the other is beyond me.  That seems to suggest an uncanny bias on your part.

I'd say they're in the same vein. My view is that if someone downplays positive news, it's better to reply with reasons why you don't agree with their view than to just complain and iniate a bickering contest.

Point taken. I was about to say in that thread, that i created (not voluntarely), precisely, what i intended to avoid from others, so i deserved a ban, just for being stupid, but i get semi-banned anyway....

I swear i'm not being sarcastic, if someone think otherwise.

Sounds good to me.

Good luck. Holidays will keep you all real busy.

Fact is at one point soon you're gonna be permabanned anyway, so evidently it isn't fine.

Point taken, Trucks. Thanks to you and the other mods for being on this.

I would only ask that the mod team pay close attention to the types of threads mentioned in the OP. Sometimes they're meant to spark discussion but often they're designed to insult or pick a fight. It's trolling/flaming by proxy and it's poisonous to the site.

pezus said: Yet another new rule due to MS fans! Remember Man-Bear and partial nudity, and now this (we all know why this is).

If anything, this is down to the Sony fanbase here for the recent actions in kowenicki's thread and the general behaviour with Selnor over the last Week.

OT - Huzzah. Its been a long time coming!

How about "I wonder how long it will be until X fan shows up to downplay this"

Basically people should just stick to the topic, if only!
