Yeah had the thread been locked for the content of OP then i would not have even raised anything here...

I have something to say regarding company PR threads. The nature of PR is that companies will say the stupidest things with a straight face in order to make a dire situation look good. Usually, the worse a company is doing with something (consoles, games, consumer relationships), the more ridiculous the PR gets. At that point it isn't any different than a regular thread of a delusional VGC member, it's basically just asking for flawed logic to be brought to its end and mocked harshly. Now there are basically three ways for the moderators to deal with such threads:

1. Ignore them. That's not really an option if you expect any respect though.
2. Moderate responding users for their actions. Means that such threads are essentially death traps.
3. Let mockery of the content slide.

Here's an example. Reggie talks about the length of the lifecycle of the Wii U and pulls some standard PR lines.

Then comes this and this:

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6815075

Two instances of a joke/mockery that got moderated for implying that the Wii U is out of potential. Now read through the thread while you keep that standard for moderations in mind. At the time of writing this post, that's about another eight moderations that would be due. Do you want to go through with that?

Yeah the locking post was done as a spur of the moment thing due to the way things were going but the thread would have been locked regardless, yes. The post was the first time I saw the thread and checking the OP, and then the most recent posts, yeah it wasn't looking good. 

But would you? Your initial complaint was due to the lack of consistancy, was it not? 

I'm more than happy to move on now it seems like things have been cleared up, however.

How did iceland downplay Nintendo? You aren't talking about Splatoon being a generic CoD shooter, are you?

But the posts and reactions in the thread were all funny as far as I remember. Don't tell me that a bunch of users throwing a fit is going to lead to a moderation no matter what.

Unbiased, right...

From top to bottom:

1. Warning: Got trolled in the mod note.
2. Ban: Got mocked in the mod note.
3. Ban: Got scolded like a little kid.
4. Warning: Got mocked again.
5. Ban: A professional mod note for once, although the moderation itself is iffy.
6. Warning: I replied to someone who likes EA games, so that wasn't being aggressive, that was common sense.
7. Ban: Bark bark woof.

In summary, the mods are blatantly biased. They have it in for me.

That made it even more funny though. But okay, I would have to look at the entire thing again to argue further, so let's just leave it at that.

Bored? I dont really post out of boredom. I actually felt it was an important point to raise. But it seems everyone here thinks my issue is with the thread OP's ie.  your thread OP versus Kitlers. Its not about that, but i prob failed to explain that properly.
