While Lawlight has obviously been trolling on this site repeatedly, he does raise an interesting question: when is it okay to post a negative opinion about a publisher? Is it about quantity? Do you have to post positive opinions as well? Or is it just about not being a dick?

Pretty much the last one. Most of the rules boil down to the simple statement "Don't be a dick". 

Lawlight has an extensive history of going into Nintendo threads and trying to find the best way to spin any news into something negative or to downplay the positive (like this http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8531174). It's been going on for years and as the Dothraki would say "It is known". At this point, his intentions are obvious.

What is negative about that? It is factual. Do facts offend people?

Yes. I've reported post of people flaming me before and nothing was done about it. And I've been banned for being "negative" in Carl's words.

 

  • If you spend a lot of time making hit-and-run negative threads or posts about a specific platform, you will also be moderated at the discretion of the moderators
As a friendly service what is ruled acceptable and what not on VGC.

Good thing I never hit-and-run.

Hmm, I'm not sure if you already know about this or not, but you can use the multi-quote feature to combine your response into 1 post, instead of 3 separate posts.

Well, for one I'm just reading comments, replying and then I see there another - because I go in chronological order, see. Also, it's hard to do that on mobile.

That would be lame as most mods aren't very good at discerning what is moddable and what isn't. "Negative" posts are a moddable offense on these forums.

LOL.

Can a mod tell me if this qualifies as a hit-and-run/drive-by trolling?

Doesn't qualify.

You're not a mod though.

Don't worry, I drew a mod tag for him, it's good enough I'd say

It falls under downplaying and it would be okay coming from someone without your post history.



Signature goes here!

Not officially, but I am in the same mod chat as my polar bear sidekick. Ask Ka-pi, if you don't believe me.

Anyway, you got the answer the mod team would give to you.

Ah, so I can call myself an unofficial mod, too, since I talk to some of the mods?

Sure, why not. You are competent enough.

Yay!! You, Ka-pi and I can be unofficial mods together
