Problem with this is that you can reduce any criticism to "console warring" and delete/ban as you like. Not necessarily malisciously, but the human error is always behind the corner. Where do we draw the line?
A note on the current spate of console/platform warring plaguing many threads
Hey folks It is pretty evident that we are currently seeing a surge in the number of petty exchanges and posts crafted specifically to derail threads or to score 'points' for and against their console of choice. This is a courtesy warning to all involved to stop now. We have attempted to...www.neogaf.com
I'm against any form of censorship on (polite) sharing of ideas. I think that so far the mod team is doing a great job since the split, in keeping the forum clean without being oppressive, and I would hate to see the censors coming back here.
Best way to deal with someone who you think is a console warrior is to ignore them. Calling for censorship... eeeeeeh, doesn't sound right to me and sounds like what reeeeeeetards do.
EDIT: This doesn't mean I agree with OP.
EDIT2: Doesn't also mean I agree on the new policy.

It's not about "insert preferred corporate" it's about one-way censorship and muting members while protecting your favorite executives/platforms hiding behind the anonymity of "Mod Team".

Thing is, digging up a old thread to just reply with a snarky smiley is the definition of console warring. If say you put a well thought out and reasonably researched comment that either qualititively or quantitatively show how the latest news about that retailer and what it means to XBOX strategy, in a current thread, nobody would have complained.

This is like saying "it's not enough to have proof of who commited the murder" but you also need to write an essay explaining the proof. Ok.

Console war is like 50% of this site’s traffic. It’s pretty hard to disengage from it even if it’s idiotic.
just compare any DF thread to everything. DF threads are always huge with 90% console war.

To put it like this, when you're perfectly calm and just having a bit of silly fun, how seriously can you possibly take a mod saying "breh, stop being so triggered"?
The mods general behavior on here has made me think of them all like slightly immature teenagers, and that's not really something I respect much.

Not at all. You don't have to "prove" anything. But since this is a "discussion" board, writing a few words is expected.

The scary thing, it's probably someone in their 30s that is the console warrior, from looking at neogaf user age poll.

The mods are doing fantastic work, which IMHO should've been done like a year ago already. The last 3 pages of bans list is nothing but people who jump on each other in all the DF/NXG comparison threads, and always bring up XB/PS i non-related threads, who already had multiple warnings.

Just pm the mods instead of bitching, are you sure you haven't once spewed out bullshit, trolling and derailing the whole thread? The entitlement for apparently just one "mistake" being done.
Or maybe you're not worth the attention at the end because of your usual antics, hence the "mistake".

Please explain your proof. I read the threads quickly and don't see it. At the time Phil said that it was true. Months later it wasn't.
Edit
Sorry actually a year later it wasn't.
Second edit
Also the original quote was about gamepass and Xbox Live use.

I reviewed your warnings you were given. You offered a lot of drive by posts which stir up console wars.
Thats the main thing that contributes to the bullshit on here. People offering some drive by comment which is obviously to stir up wars and get a rise out of hte "other side". Then when we try to moderate these actions these same people hide behind the same excuses, its either "It was just a joke" "It was just an opinion" "the other side is worse etc etc".
We wont tolerate these underhanded snide comments which are there just to stir the pot. If the other side is worse make reports or take it up with a mod with a well reasoned PM with some examples. Besides that we arent going to feel bad for you.

As much as the OP's tone is not exactly the best way to put this across. It does feel recently that it's leaning over to the "This is a serious place for serious people that only serious discussion can take place" despite of course a majority of the forum not being that at all.
How long will it be before I can't make fun of a game by pointing at another game in the same genre and saying "man Assassin's Creed has no content worth playing" as it's game warring?
Il be honest though I got a good chuckle out of the necro'd thread about cyberpunk hype before release, like a little time capsule of hope, man how wrong we where.

you have big balls to write the truth.First of all feel free to ban me if you want and don't try to "intimidate" me with your petty warnings and stupid remarks in private messages hiding your coward ass behind "Mod Team". When you delete a post at least have the balls to say who you are.
This was the second time a post of mine got deleted when all i did this time was post an older thread that exposed the PR crap of Phil Spencer about how "great" Xbox was supposed to be doing at the start of this generation in Japan when this actually shows it's quite the contrary and shows once again that the reality is not exactly as how those executives are trying to make it look like.
So i just quoted that older thread about Phil saying how Japan's Xbox fastest growing market and a smiley and nothing else. But my post gets deleted and i also get a warning by a nobody mod fanboy hiding behind "Mod Team".
This was his reply:"bubububut noone wants to see you cry in public".
Lol like seriously? All i did was post an older thread that YOU had allowed to be open and thought it was fine when it was original made yet now that its content got exposed of its bullshit you delete my post? If anything this shows how much of a fanboy YOU the moderator who deleted my post actually are.
If you really want to continue muting the members here everytime someone exposes the bullshit of your favorite executive or company then feel free to ban me right here right now. You are hiding behind this "console war" pretense when in actuallity you clearly show that you take sides and also hiding behind your anonymity as "Mod Team".
I'm not afraid of your stupid warnings and i honestly don't want to be a part of a forum that lets fanboys to become moderators and hide behind their moderator power.
it is good that you got at least - ''bubububut noone'' whining from them, others getting childish and so immature for mods - ''wahaahaha'' respond.
it is clear as day that forum became xboxera 2.
just pray that Banjo64 will not come here, because where he goes, bans follows everywhere.

Lmao sorry, but no, one of the moderations I have received makes the console wars look like baby shit (don't remember what for, probably some sarcastic comment, which is fine as I don't expect mods to remember the context and post history of every user).

It's posts like these which remind me that sometimes it's just better to walk away from the PC and not get so pressed over something utterly inconsequential.
Good shit OP, I hope it was worth the ban.

He is an executive at a multi national company. What the hell do you expect him to say? “We are fucked in Japan, not sure why we are bothering?”.
Try to remember that he will always paint a rosy picture as that’s his job…same for all other execs. Just take everything they say with a pinch of salt (Sony, Nintendo, Apple, all of them) and don’t let it stress you out, because it really doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things

I would love to take Evilore and the modteam to Vegas for the weekend. They leave us be to shit post in peace as long as it’s we’ll done I find, and that’s all you can really ask for while they receive nothing in return.
Drive by posts are just shit, not even worthy of being shit posts they contribute nothing.
5 years ago 99% of us would of been banned within one post. Stop your bitching at this growth.
