is this a real moderation? http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6851020

Nope.

lol I thought so.

That moderation is as legit as this.

Rule 8 part 3:

• Do not post only that Item A sucks, or that Item B is better than Item C. Give reasons why, post links to documented problems, of screenshots, or whatever you can. Similarly, do not reply to other posters with "you're wrong", or worse, “you’re an idiot/troll/fanboy.” Explain why you disagree, and perhaps point to the correct answer.

Thing is, he posted "Game is shit" as to explain why he considers the game doesn't deserve the sales. He's just not merely saying "Item A sucks".

Directly saying that a game is shit is somewhat different to saying, for example, "I dont like it".

Posting (game here) is shit/crap/sucks/etc., no matter what the context, without explaining why you think the game is shit, is grounds for moderation.

If he would have been more cordial about it, perhaps wording it like "I don't even think it's a good game. I don't think it deserves such sales" (which makes it more personal to him and not a mass negative generalization), then it wouldn't be a problem.

Still, that's an explanation for what the dude previously wrote, not the point of the writer itself.

Even if that's too strong, a warning would have been better.

So, if someone makes a thread about Meme Run's trailer, and someone else say "Wow, this game is shit", that's moderable?
