@reask

I agree. I read through the entire comments section and was quite amused.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

Yeah really funny imo and not to nasty just a bit crude in places.

And yet the ones with the crude comments show themselves up imo.

Banning is required...

Then again when you have banning for "trolling" (spurious definition and subjective interpretation) you will have unjust bannings. Speaking from experience

Yes sometimes bans can be handed out willy nilly alright which is a shame.

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.

For your daily needs in penises, visit /b/. We need the banhammer around here or no one would ever talk about sales. And the site would be renamed "Hentaichartz" 

 

Edit: What about Kirby spamming? Pink, Ball, Suck, Blow, that guy is a walking offence!

Well thats it the gaffer has spoken so bans stay in place.

Look I was only bringing it up as a topic and fully undrstand it could get out of hand on this site.

But sometimes it can be quite funny when folks are let loose.

This is your one and only warning: 

Substance. Content is king. Threads lacking content can and will be locked. Some tips to keep you and your posts out of trouble:

  • Do not post just a link. Links have context - expound upon that context. For example, Mario Piano Videos. Post a link, but also give some background on what the link is to, or better yet, comment on how Mario has influenced pop culture. This way, it's not just a link and run. Remember: the reader's interest is not only in the link, its in what you have to say about it, how you make sense of what would otherwise be a blind link (and a subsequent poor thread). The only exception to this rule is for game patches - bearing in mind rule 2, go ahead and get that link posted as fast as possible.
  • Do not post only that Item A sucks, or that Item B is better than Item C. Give reasons why, post links to documented problems, of screenshots, or whatever you can. Similarly, do not reply to other posters with "you're wrong." Explain why you disagree, and perhaps point to the correct answer.
  • No "In Before The Lock" (IBTL) posts. Repeat offenders will be warned, and disciplinary action will be taken if those warnings are not heeded.
  • No posts specifically to to say that a poster or the thread sucks, either with words or pictures.
  • When introducing a new game to the community, give context. What is the game about? Is it part of a franchise? Does it share similarities with other games? What does it do in a new or different way?
  • No spoilers in threads which are not clearly marked for them. One year is the cutoff under which a 'spoiler' becomes 'general information', which can be discussed in any thread at any time.
  • Spam, or multiple short replies in a row without any substance, is not allowed. Explain and justify your opinions. If you have nothing to add to a topic, then go to another topic and post in there instead. Similarly, even if it's well defended, repeating your opinion about a console or game multiple times is also spamming.

I'm keeping my eye on you...
