Are the mods here getting paid by MS?

How about not posting childish console war stuff? Freedom of speech is fine, but if people resort to petty shots against consoles, then how is a civil discussion about games possible? Considering how often

Mods here do a good job . In my mind.
They are fair and have a sence of humor not to get offended too easy.
But what they could do a better job on is delete secondary or dummy accounts.
There are a lot of user here that do drive by postings now more so then ever before given the reignited console war that will take this forum over for the whole year.
These mentioned accounts are years old with a post count in the low hunderts or not even a 100.
Its clear that they are used to troll or to insult others.
If any mode reads this let me know how we can help to filter these out and how to report them.

KRETOS is old now. He has a child remember?
I'll add that jokes are totally fine, encouraged even as far as I'm concerned, but we do need to maintain some balance in the console wars and nudge things in constructive directions if a platform is being dogpiled and undermined. In this instance, the thread was an Xbox counterpart to a Sony thread and the jokes were mostly looking to undermine a legit discussion before it got off the ground.
No one was banned or warned, and it was a response to user reports. The mods acted reasonably.

What's the deal with teraflops?
It seems that teraflops will determine who will win the Next Gen War, according to NeoGAF. Let me tell you a little secret: . History has shown us that sheer power isn't the only determining factor when it comes to console wars. Factors such as console exclusives, first party studios, quality...
Still relevant.

LOL at yelling freedom of speech on an internet forum.
Maybe read the Terms of Service at the bottom and PM a staff member next time.

, some style suggestions for your future posts in Xbox threads:Thread title: "What is your favorite Xbox game this gen"
Kretos: "What!? I didn't even know they had any games! Right guys!? What the heck, lol.
"Thread title: "XGS prepares to launch a slew of first party titles in 2020"
Kretos: "What? Halo 12, Forza million and Gears 14 and a half probably!!! YAaaaawn!"
Thread title: "Game Pass now over 10 million subscribers"
Kretos: "It should be called ____ Pass. Because there ain't...
(wait for it Sony bros.)…
(it's coming)…
(hold)…
(hooold)…
(almooost)…
(now!) NO GAMES!
"

Moderation is good so far, yet I have a question. Do deleted post by mods show up somewhere?
On the other hand I suppose Evilore has an eye on all of that. I'm just a bit frightened whenever I hear "post has been deleted by mods", because bad things happened in the past, you know.

Yes, deleted posts can still be seen by administrators in the forum software.

Why delete the post at all if they're just going to display it somewhere else for the public to see?
Doesn't make sense to me. NeoGAF appears to be better than it was before so it's not an issue of trust either.

I once made a joke about the PSVita being the shape of evil lores balls, and he was seconds away from banning me... Thankfully I reminded him I still have pictures of him dressed as a transsexual toaster eating a vegan sausage roll. He soon backed down.
You need to have insurances, guys. The worlds a dangerous place.

Posts like this that are deleted are basically just hidden from public view. Other moderators and admins are able to still see them and take action on them, if needed.
Additionally, administrators have access to a "moderator log" that shows what action was taken, on what post/thread, by what moderator, when, and even that moderator's IP address. While we may not continuously monitor this log, it's available for us to review if the need arises.

If I were mod and got accused of being paid by someone, putting in doubt my whole integrity, for sure id banned you for good.
Anyway, dont take it personally, just thought it was an overreaction and thats it. my nerve is good.

I'm guessing you're about 16 right? Take your whiney ass to Retardera and see how long you last.
If you re going to stay here than stop being a console warrior and questioning the staff here.

Cmon OP you going to get bent over a stupid deleted post.
That’s not what it is.
As I have said in other threads in the past, we can’t see everything. 90% of our actions are done through the report feature.
I will sometimes action or step in to “course correct” with a reminder post if I am hanging out in threads and see something myself as well.
We rely on the report feature. If we don’t see many reports, we assume the community is operating and tolerating the current state of the climate (sorry Greta).
If you see a post that you feel is trolling or stepping over the line, please utilize the report feature. I can’t stress that enough. But with that said, don’t abuse it either. Some posts, while fanatical in tone, are not actionable and should be challenged back. Those are usually the ones we reject.
This community is each and every one of yours as well. Help shape it and be more proactive and less reactive.
Thoughts?

This is true. You guys aren't all-seeing and there are a lot of threads to read on any given day so you're bound to miss stuff. Unfortunately, some people choose not to report anything which isn't smart if they're only going to complain about inaction later.
