We've never made a "moderation free" thread. We've made roast threads, but not moderation free threads. We're really not trying to go for the "console wars" thing from GameSpot.


What's a roast thread? :O

Anyone who posts in a roast thread is given free reign to take playful shots at other users who have also posted in the thread, and are now targets for anyone else to take shots at.

You post, you roast.

Can I make one?

A mod probably needs to make one, because it needs a constant eye on it.

There's a difference between playful banter between one another and a user who comes in to make personal attacks. Right now the team is a bit streched because everyone is a bit busy with finals, work, and moving. Maybe next week we can get one started.

You can still get moderated in a roast thread, so not really.

Semi-free moderation would have been better? >____>U

A roast is supposed to be done in good fun. When it gets bitchy and done to denigrate, it's normal to see moderations happening.

And you still can't just troll for the sake of trolling.

"BTW Ouya Suxxx lol!" pls dont ban me mods lol

But yeah, we can make that happen. It is fun to see users be creative (for once) in how they poke fun at one another.
