I only own a Wii, however, I discuss situations and theories of all systems. Does this mean I'm automatically a troll if for instance I was discussing how I don't think either motion device for PS360 will do much for them this gen?

If you answer yes, then you have serious problems. Basing someone's status simply by the consoles they own is stupid. If I didn't have a family, full-time job, and Master's degree to worry about, I'd have a 360 of my own vs only playing on my brother's occasionally.

I think some people need to think outside the box.

I guess you could use for that purpose, but I use moreso to compare the amount of games spread across each platform.

Eeeeactly. My badges make me ban proof. I want my SNES badge bro!

Posters can own plenty of consoles and still do their share of trolling.

I think it's more people who claim to own most consoles think they can say or accuse someone of bias because they don't own a game. I am against this whole thing and has turned it off very quickly.

I know for a fact that if I see which console a person owns when I read their post I will ASSUME they are biased toward that console and read their post in that light. My opinion of their opinion will be utterly biased.

Therefore, I have turned badges off. I also turned signature's off for pretty much the same reason.

lol, its all about the posts

This, or to be more precise, there are opinions you need to own the game or console to express and other opinions you can perfectly argue without owning that HW or SW. Obviously without HW and SW you cannot express detailed opinions on very peculiar aspects, just to make an example, a console gamer could say he doesn't like keyboard+mouse controls, while a PC gamer could be precise and tell which games implement those controls well and which don't. As I'm quite fussy about controls and I don't like gamepads (that's also why I fell more attracted by Wii), I always try demo consoles at stores if I have the opportunity, to see if eventually a particular control scheme or game can make me change my mind. And anyhow, even well argued opinions will have a certain degree of bias and subjectivity. But preventively calling someone a troll is an attack ad hominem, that can be abusive, if the tatget is innocent of trolling, or circumstantial, if by chance the attacker spotted a real troll, but in both cases is fallacious, because it doesn't demonstrate the falseness of the target's arguments.

My badges are so misleading. I don't own a wii or a PSP. All I have is a DS, gamecube, and PS2.

The badges just mean that more people will get called out for trolling. It just increase what was already there.

Not owning a console shouldn't and doesn't preclude you from posting in that section.
