You see this is the problem. They don't like it because I'm a Sony fan and the MS/pc/Nintendo fans throw a wobbler over it.
No, it's because the positivity is blatantly over the top. It has nothing to do with what company or brand you side with. I hate to use the Appeal to Authority card and I only speak for myself in this case, but I'm a Playstation fan and I find your excessive positivity cringey.
But when Nintendo fans do it, it's cool. No problem. Probably because Sony/pc/ms fans don't get annoyed by it as much. But the point is it's the exact same thing.
Care to provide some examples of this? That isn't to say you're wrong and for the sake of the argument, let's say some Nintendo fans do it, too. From my experience, the frequency of Nintendo fans being overtly enthusiastic is not as high nor as disruptive. Of course, I'm just one witness, but if the other mods have the similar experience, then there is a consensus.
So why don't the mods make a new rule. No more positive cheering for your fav platform. I'll stop posting positively. But I guarantee you many won't. I'll report them all for you to ban. But I guarantee you they won't all be banned and after a while this new anti Kerotan rule will be relaxed like the last one just was for tbone.
This is a strawman. Refer to my first response above. Also, the reason why the mod team and normal users are wary of you is because your comments tend to lure specific users and cause a lot of hostility. The function of a forum is to encourage discussion and debate, not to prod negative reactions from other people.
A mod just said I was free to leave. I ain't going nowhere because I'm happy here for the most part. But I'll put that right back at you. If you don't want to be a fair moderator or if you can't handle the stress of it you are free to leave. There's plenty of enthusiastic members ready to take over like the newest batch of mods. No shame in it either. Just look at stalwarts like smeags. You might even get your own retirement thread where we pat you on the back and tell you how great you were.
You're free to stay as much as you're free to leave. However, if you don't bother changing your habits, then don't expect other people's perception of you to change either.
