@gebx - and it just so happens to be all negative PS3 news? so i guess Xbox 360 and Wii are Perfect in every way and we must praise them. /sarcasim

Please its obvious to see what your doing, using "Volunteers" is a scapegoat if not full blown bait alone.

Impressive, that is very disturbing news to, but its expected of MS to pull something like that, regardless you've proven your point.

So in that case its...

90% negative PS3 news and 10% negative X360.

I'll only belive you once i see more about other consoles, computers & handhelds and so forth.

Other then that my opinion on your "reports" remains the same, but now i think you may be "slightly" misunderstood because S*** is happen'n to sony left and right.

We'll see...

^^ i give up, happy trolling.


Why is it that any negative article posted on the PS3 considered trolling?

 

Its not like I'm linking crappy blogs... I'm using 1up.com, palgn.com, reuters.com, gamasutra.com

Those are reputable websites which valid articles that people show know about when discussing videogame sales.

Why is it that that's all you post? It's more like the repeated "Sony is Doomed" threads by Gebx is the trolling, not the actual news itsself. If day in and day out all I did was start threads that said "360 RRoD" or "How is it the RPG king? The RPGs are medicore" or something of that nature...the posting of the news wouldn't be trolling, the repeated (and obviously apparent) negativity would be trolling.

I need volunteers!!

I am no longer allowed to post articles about anything that sheds a bad light on the PS3 without getting banned.. so could someone post threads about these three articles in the meantime.. and I need a couple volunteers who I could email new articles!!

 

 

 

This article here http://www.examiner.com/x-544-Games-Examiner~y2008m12d19-Wii-and-Xbox-360-dominate-eBay-and-Zune-is-coming-to-Xbox-360

Nice little article from the examiner looking at amazon sales... I cannot start a thread about it... so can someone else do it?

 

This article here is from 1up and called  "Holiday Sales Meltdown Part 3 - Sony Playstation family" http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3171989

Again, another good article that should deserve its own thread

 

And finally

http://palgn.com.au/article.php?id=13407&sid=5109edc06b8172dcfaaf0a13e6c42c07

Article about the 360 selling half a million units in Australia "this apparently makes the Xbox 360 "the most popular of any High Definition next generation platform""

I have granted two of your three wishes....

"Shazam"

Your other one wish is beyond the intellect of most VGcharterz so I deemed it unworthy of my time, well it doesn't have that PING BOING in your face depressing look about it, we at VGchartz only like tabloid shite.

He got banned for trolling which he basically fessed up to. His article posting was an attempt to antagonize users, and he did so in the most antagonistic fashion. Instead of making a compilation thread, or referencing the article in another thread. He just created a new thread for every negative article he found. Call it kicking them when they are down, or beating the dead horse.

I do not blame him alone though. Those that entered those threads to bitch. Which effectively bumped the threads are equally at fault. He couldn't troll if you did not feed him. Remember every time you respond to a troll its like giving a dog a treat. You are saying they did a good thing.



^- Agreed Dodece, but the "troll" in this matter should not have "trolled" to begin thus making the issue ...kinda not there...



I don't understand?

This works both ways.

Nobody complained when there were COUNTLESS negative Xbox 360 threads about 7-8 months ago.

In fact, when Mr Stickball raised the issue, everyone told him to shut up and that it was undemocratic for "All negative Xbox 360 news to be placed in one thread".

So a big "get stuffed" to anyone who wants it changed now. I mean no insult by that to any reasonable people. But you can't have your cake and eat it.

It has to work both ways.

I also note that a few people in here were contributing to the ridiculous amount of negative Xbox 360 news just for fun.

So a nice big middle finger to all who have a problem with Gebx, now you know how annoyin it is.



So did anyone post one of these yet?

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.

Stickball wanted all negative news to be in one thread, but people who posted tons of negative news about a console they're known to dislike have been banned before and it is a different issue.

Geb was not banned to try and stem the tide of negative articles, that's just the way it is and they will go up whether it's from Geb or someone else. He was banned because he was doing it so often that it became apparent that he wasn't doing it to inform, but to annoy. He admitted as much if I remember correctly.

There is a difference between Stickball trying to contain all of the negative news about 360 regardless of its source, and a lone troll being banned because he gets his jollies posting negative articles.

edit: apparently the guy I was starting an argument with was permabanned......guess I win by default.
