It’s been a fun time here being an Xbox user lol I can’t speak for everyone but I welcome negative opinions, everyone should. But there’s a point where you’re just there to hate regardless and your intentions are pretty clear. I don’t fully understand why some users invest so much time in something they obviously don’t like. I realize it’s hard to moderate concern trolling and borderline flaming but hopefully this leads to a healthier discussion.

Thank you Mod Team for addressing this

Look we all know that even if Nintendo fans on VGchartz were wiped out by atomic bombardment Rol being part cockroach would survive and that would mean they need no help  for Sony well they will eventually be taken over and renamed stadia so that ends their role as a meaningful player so that leaves Xbox the one shining hope for all of VGchartz and keeping it safe from a mutated Rol explains this thread.

Man Xbox is so lame that I'm surprised it took you this long to create a snowflake zone for them. /sarcasm

Good job CGI-quality. Keep on the good work.

I think some Xbox fans just take things to personal. Lets face it, if MS was doing a great job with Series X, who would care if some random Sony or Nintendo fanboys are smack talking the new Xbox? Series X is an amazing piece of kit and MS now has plenty of talented studios under their wing to go toe-to-toe with Sony. That's what we all want to see, but its MS's corporate strategy that is getting in the way of that.

Xbox fans, who deep down aren't not happy with MS's decision making, shouldn't be blindly defending everything they're doing. If you want things to change, you should be complaining because I'm sure MS is taking notice. Hell, we're already seeing Series X games skip current gen, and its the negative feedback that caused Halo to be delayed, which is definitely a good thing. MS needs a wake up call so they can hopefully get their shit together with Series X. If they can do that, and have GP/Xcloud as a nice bonus, then I'm sure we would all be a lot more excited and less touchy about Series X.

I was going to post exactly this. 

People who have been here (/but no longer post) for 10+ years know this thread is 10 years too late. 10+ years ago the funny joke was xbox owners are busy playing games where as PS3 owners are posting about them, seems even now despite there being so many more playstation games to play, its the same story.  

Having said that, when I lurk every now and again, its no way near as bad as it used to be. Suspect posts seems to be actioned pretty quickly and nothing like how it was under the reign of ikhani and his crew. 

there is a difference between constructive criticism and just being a negative nancy

I remember that old argument, and I'd reply that with the same evidence I could make the argument that less Xbox owners are literate. Both conclusions fallacious and meaningless. 

On topic: I'll be interested to see how this is applied. Thread bans seem pretty reasonable for those that are causing too much of a disruption. But for like the above, if someone makes a dumb reply to a dumb argument is that now a thread ban? Or is this something that would have to be unprovoked I guess?

Edit: and before Rol replies, let's say that we take out the complicating factor (or at least what appears to be one to some) that I have a red name. 

you are overthinking it, its the usual suspects who aren't handed a free reign to troll anymore

There have certainly been cases in the past where rules have been skirted just on this side of the line by a "usual suspect" over and over again that required targeted moderation. Unfortunately that's why these things will always be subjective and open to rebuke. I think it's the scientist in me that would prefer objective standards but that really doesn't work where people are involved.
