Well, at least we got some good recipes out of it

Ah yeah, I've definitely seen warnings edited into posts before with it being quite clear that a chunk of the post was removed. I figured that was standard procedure.

It doesn't take to be a mind reader to realize that some people like a certain company, and that constantly saying negative things about said company could end up bothering a fanbase because they like to celebrate the merits of their favorite company. It takes a little mental effort and will power.

To bother them could be intentional or not, but either way it's not desired on the forum, because the forum lives off the harmonious participation of these fanbases.

If you are offering intelligent posts with solid arguments, even a fan can appreciate a negative point if you are being fair.

Bottom line though, it is very very difficult to be fair and to always be negative about a company. Occam's razor would help us conclude that, rather than being a supreme fluke where all the points are legitimately negative, the intention or attitude of a constantly negative user is not right. It's even easier when these posts show little effort in formulating an argument that holds ground.

It is known.

Good for you if this amuses you. I cannot say I feel the same way.

But anyway, that's the kind of stuff that earns me moderations, that's why I have so many.

Not sure if this is something you should be proud of, but then again, I can see why

Congrats :p

This seems like a good time to ask you how many people you've banned during your tenure as a moderator. As usual, spambots and alt accounts are to be excluded from the total.

The real question is, did he ban you?

Of course. Come on, which mod didn't?

He banned me because I told niceguygameplayer that I believe him that he is not a troll.

There must have been more to it than that!

All I did was make a point.

What angers me about your post is how stupid it is. You want to convince Nintendo fans that their money is better spent elsewhere, but your 14 points have hardly anything substantial to offer, and the few points that make sense can easily be applied to Sony and Microsoft as well, so in the end you are left with absolutely nothing that would sway anyone's mind.

I do believe that you are not trolling. I am convinced that you honestly don't know any better than this, because your posting history delivers enough evidence to back this up. You can consider yourself lucky that the mod team doesn't ban people for stupidity, even though the top priority of the mod team is to maintain and foster an environment where intelligent discussion is welcome and encouraged. Your OP is an insult to the intelligence of the community. Someone like you who clearly doesn't have the knowledge to make a thread like this should be forced to frame everything as questions instead of statements, because then people could at least respect you. If you ask questions, you can be perceived as someone who seeks knowledge. But this thread here, this attitude that you know better despite glaring factual errors, it's terrible.

I don't mind criticism of Nintendo and discussion of it, but when it's supposed to be done on a level that rivals curl-6's infamous "requirement of movement and shooting at the same time is bad game design", then that's pissing me off. I do not want you to make yet another thread like this. Not about Nintendo, not about Microsoft. I'd add Sony to the list, but that's redundant in light of your bias.
