Wow...just wow. That actually explains why Halo (software) failed as well.  None of the boosts shown a strong Halo relationship. Deriving data isn't hard jlmurph2. You are on the deep end.

If you want to attack me about my bad use of the English language, since it's my second language next...be my guest. Just like your attacking the numerous other members.

The user in question has a long history of inciting and contrbituing towards console vs console trolling, baiting and flaming, i'm not saying fans of the xbox are innocent, i'm not saying any particular fanbase is innocent or guilty, just that for a long time now people have been openly passing along snide remarks particularly towards the Xbox One, in most cases these remarks are dealt with, but at the same time the xbox community of this site is significantly smaller than the playstation and nintendo communities, thus what happens is a heavy bias in the frequency of reported posts, a frequency that favors the playstation and nintendo fans.

In this particular instance, the user has a combination of an extensive history causing trouble based on nothing more than the platform being different, and a documented propencity for pre-meditation of particular attacks and approaches both on site and off.

As such he is now banned from referencing the xbox, he isn't banned from posting or joining in with discussions for other consoles but until he has shown a believable, genuine willingness to curb his attitude and approach towards topics involving the Xbox, he will not be permitted to be involved in Xbox discussions.

As for "singling out", that is generally what happens when the content of a users post lands them in trouble, moderations are handled on a person to person basis, so singling out a particular user for their behaviour is the entire point of modering a particular user.

Simply saying "hey people, could you please stop attacking each other" has been tried in the past, and it gets completely and utterly ignored, which is why this approach is being taken as a last ditch attempt.

If he changes his attitude and shows signs of improvement, then the ban on xbox topics will be lifted, if he does not then the ban stays, it's as simple as that. You may find it harsh, but for someone with 34 infractions for trolling and flaming, it's clear the usual moderation approach just isn't getting through, so I'm hoping this approach will.

You can call that bias, you can call it hypocritical, you can call it whatever you want, however, Abun, saying "The mods on this site are a huge joke" based on a single moderators actions is uncalled for.

On a personal note, if anyone would like to try and imply that i'm biased towards the Xbox One, i've got some news for you..

I just hope that some other trolls that have been doing even worse are taken care in similar fashion. 

I think he deserved the action you took but I also think it was mishandled. Should of it been handled like this in the thread? Most moderation messgaes are sent to the person breaking the rule, not out in the open.

I don't agree with Abun either but singling out one side (in this case the PS fan) like it's only them that causes trouble along with calling people out openly in threads undoes the good moderating on here. I'm not saying you're a bad mod, but you went to far this time.
