Please in the name of all that is decent, sane, and humane do the honorable thing. Start swinging those ban hammers you have like Viking broad swords. I do not know if you have bothered to notice, but we are hip deep in trolls and trolling now. We are infested with a plague of unprecedeneted proportions. The lunatics are running the asylum. Every topic is going right into the crapper in less then ten minutes, and now they are just getting sadistic. I have never recalled seeing these forums ever get so nasty. Big flipping deal the 360 is doing good, and the PS3 is not doing good. That is no reason to be forming up posses, and openly reveling in fanboy trolling.

Please start handing out warnings and bans. Hell ban my ass for a week just send the thirty forum denizens that have set up shop under the bridge with me. I think there are dozens of posters desperately looking for a week long vacation. This is not sport its madness, and it isn't discussion its sticking your finger in other peoples eyes. I just saw three posters nitpick the definition of the word nearly devouring almost an entire post between them. I also saw name calling, and one poster has to be an alt. Less then two months here averaging twenty posts a day with over a thousand posts. That has to be a troll.

Whatever it takes to bring these forums back to a semblence of sanity. Ban my ass for a week I volunteer. I will not hold a grudge. I am sure others would freely offer to be mowed down in a purge. I cannot be the only one sick of this nonsense. Put an end to this fanboy war ban everybody remotely involved. All it does is make this site look bad. This used to be a bastion of good discussion, and now its all about being small minded, and being petty. Please become the epic assholes I know you can be. Don't you see its apparent we need a good ass kicking if posters are to start behaving again. There is no reasoning with us. We cannot behave without a good beating.

I am sad to see a good community being raped by assholes and idiots. When I know that it used to be so much better. Please find it in your hearts to do the right thing. Toss us in the cooler for a week. We absolutely deserve it.

 

 you know, i couldnt agree more. this isnt supposed to be about trolling and stuff, its about having a good conversation with other people about the stuff we are interested in.

I'd agree that things have been a bit crappier than usual lately.

 

It's the time of the year, and I don't mean Christmas. I mean it's the time of the year every worthless website, magizine, and crap show with a game review to their name starting throwing out their meaningless GOTY awards and every gets all pissy at each other, trying to find the list that matches their preferences, because a bunch of no name dopes with a website agreeing with them is validation. =P

Things will settle down after New Year's.

There are a large number of goty threads...each one seeing the same responses

Psrock made me lose my train of thought earlier. I was actually going to give MontanaHatchet an early Christmas present.

I think every user with over 4500 posts should be made a mod for a day, and be allowed to clean the forums and take the strain off the full time mods.

Seems fair to me

hmm not a bad idea

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Make it 1,500 posts and I'll back you on that.  And on my day as a mod, I'll edit every post I can to include "Hawk Rules!"

The best view to travel.

Psrock, I have no idea why you posted this pic. I have no clue what it has to do with the topic being discussed, but I'll be damned if I complain about it. That's one helluva view. Great way to start my morning

 

I got home after two hours of shoveling snow, got on my computer, and went to this website. And now I can die a happy man.

 

I'm always happy to give my fellow members a hand.

 

No need, they'll employ their own hand!



I find that the trolls on this site make it a more enjoyable place.

The problem is that whenever I give even a simple warning, I'm dragged into a several PM long debate over how much of an asshole I am. I actually had to debate with someone over PM whether or not opinions are trolling.

Allowing yourself to get dragged into a debate about your judgment calls is bad policy. Never, ever, ever debate with the person you are warning. If they have a problem with it, give them a link to someone they can complain to, but never acknowledge their disagreement by arguing with them yourself.

I disagree - you give bad advice.

:P

That is VGChartz LONGEST review. And it's NOT Cute Kitten DS

I don't mean as a forum member, I mean when Montana is acting in his capacity as a moderator. It is neither necessary nor proper for him to have an argument about this sort of thing with a normal member.
