Who cares if the mods are biased, their job isn't to edit content. The plain fact is that for whatever reason, PS3 fans have been the most likely to launch personal attacks or use foul language. There is a certain crowd that cannot behave in a civil matter when it comes to disagreements. Instead they resort to making inappropriate comments of a sexual or perverse manner.

For example:

"yep anyone that does not suck off the wii on vgNinCharts must be a troll."

Such comments are all to common from certain PS3 fanboys. If the PS3 community would simply condemn such users, perhaps others would be more sympathetic to their viewpoint.

yes that's true, and i've told a number of overzealous ps3 fans to shut up and stop helping. but also when you yourself respond to them, instead of just pointing out their bullshit, you attack the ps3, like it pissed in your cheerios or something. this in turn, gets usually reasonable people like me to come after you. as for bias, if you mean that are there more N fans than others, then yes, but the only thing that seems scewed up is the game ratings, which i think is not balanced, but don't care really. also, overzealous wii fans get put in their place pretty quickly too.

so stop trying to push your opinions on others.

Go tell the wii fanboys to stoping down playing the importance of EVERYTHING about games other then waggle wiimote controls.

evey thread they are pushing that BS on everyone.

 

 


Well, if you didn't thrust your viewpoint of graphics being the end-all-to-be-all of games, perhaps Wii fanboys wouldn't be shoving waggle down your throat...

As far as they are concerned, you push an equal amount (if not more) BS on everyone as well.

So far noone has brought any EVIDENCE that a particular group or individual has been treated unfairly by the mods.

Trying to balance the site based on what people believe is just plain silly. As long as people can discuss things civilly based on verifiable facts and information, that's all that should matter.


 Shams treated Kwaad pretty hostilely in the thread about Forever Blue/Endless Ocean.  Even Ben got on to Shams for getting out of line.  Kwaad may have gone just a little too far, but Shams went way to far, and his behavior was completely unreasonable considering he is a mod.

 The site is biased, but it isn't as bad as it used to be.
 



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

I'm pretty sure shams was just sick of Kwaad's behavior over such a long period of time. Kwaad has been permabanned twice, once by me, for some awful trolling...don't ask me why he's back...but he's been doing alright since then.  



LEFT4DEAD411.COM
Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Kwaad has cleaned up his act for the most part. For every trolling PS3/360/Wii fan there is always another from a different side.

The size of the voice, despite the size of the group, will be heard.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,

Kwaad's been banned three times - and technically, he hasn't been permabanned once. Not a single time.

Permabanning should mean permanently banned, correct? Then how does the same person with the same username come back to the same forum if that person has been "permanently banned"?
