new console debate/discussion poll

Oh yes, boo hoo Heretic, boo hoo.  After a mere 300 posts since you registered, your opinion is valued above all others.  For someone who visits so casually, what do you care what we do to the forums anyways?  Oh well, you stick around, we must be doing SOMETHING right.  Ya know, it\'s amazing how you can have any opinion at all especially since it was based on a thread that has since been CLOSED long ago.  You wren\'t even here for the week that it was open though.  Your opinion is just that, but don\'t think that I won\'t give my opinion accordingly just the same.  You think me being a mod means I should post at some god like standard?  I was a member first and I posted the same way then and I will continue to do so in that way now.  Being a mod comes second unless it\'s porn, gratuitous spam, or complete vulgarity in the worst sense.

Ahhh!

Just saying, is all. I know it\'s a hard job, and you all are doing a great job. It\'s just that there are some bozo\'s that don\'t seem to wanna follow the rules. With seperate forums, perhaps they\'ll bother the more mature people a lot less.

Ryu, in one post you\'ve managed to present several false assumptions. One glaring example is your behavior towards Vapor Snake in this thread alone was reason enough for me to react here and label you as pompous.  I won\'t bother explaining how far off you are elsewhere because frankly it would take too many words and I don\'t see where it\'d be of any real value to you or any possible onlookers.

I will say though one of the major gulfs between us is this; you think the problem with this forum is members freely bash consoles and games due to bias/whatever, while I see the basic problem with this forum, and the human condition in general, is that we (and I have to include me) too often feel free to bash each other as long as we feel secure in the knowledge we are better, for whatever reason, than those we bash.

No, human like. As in one decent human being to another, whether you consider them one or not

Ask \\/apor if he minded before you bash someone in his defense.  I don\'t see how you can possibly reason from what you have posted in this thread that you are in any way better for this discussion, or this forum for that matter, than Ryu is.  Notice how no one else has jumped out to join you in your position here.  Think that might say something?

Mind, I do not.

Vapor, thanks for the cookie

How a particular individual feels about being insulted or whether they even felt insulted, in this thread as well as other much worse examples, has no bearing on my reply.

shockwaves, you don\'t see how I can reason my being better for this discussion/forum simply because that was in no way what I was trying to say. I\'d rather not see someone in charge of enforcing rules who doesn\'t feel compelled to abide by them, especially on a forum created for those who want to argue. I would rather see us all treat each other with more respect. Everybody, everywhere. Am I always good at it? No

A cunning madman finds plenty of backing at the institute. So, might makes right?

There needs to be a split.  People dont like hearing the truth about their favorite consoles here, example: GC is targeted to 7-14

Haha, yea we need to split so Clowd can leave comments like that in the Console Flaming board and us informed people can talk somewhere else.

Are you denying what I said?

Yeah, Eternal Darkness and RE is for those damn seven year olds......:rolleyes:

I vote for the split, only if it is enforced. What I mean is, if the moronic behavior spills over there should be consequences, not just the thread being moved. The "console discussion" forum should be a sacred place for people who own multi-consoles and enjoy them. The "war room" should be for mindless bashing such as "xbox flops", "GC is k1dd1e" and "PS2 Jaggie-machine". The problem with spliting the forums is it is going to require more work for the mods, which will probably mean more mods will be needed for those two areas.

That\'s why we need a debate board and a discussion board.  He could only say things like that on the debate board, and on the debate board, I could reply "and yet, it\'s still far and away the best console "

Don\'t worry man, I know guys like Ryu are going to be all over it, but I\'m going to edit the piss out of anything thats immature.  Who needs a close option when there\'s a delete one right next to it, ya know what I mean?

That forum will be kept clean.

It\'s my opinion that "clean" forums are much better, and that\'s what this one was when I signed up.

I make a prediction that Clowd is going to be the first person excluded from the forums due to comments in the Discussion area.

We all realised what you meant by

saying..

example: GC is targeted to 7-14

was just you being a complete ass who cant keep his opinion to himself.  That is NOT the sort of talk we want in the new board and it will not be tolerated.

[Living-In-Clip]

Good, Eik.

I think this new "discussion" board should also allow people to ask what games are better for each system, or post reviews of games from other systems. I\'m sure you all have already covered this, but I didn\'t have time to read through two pages .

Oh and Agree\'d Bob. I can see certain members being booted from that forum, though I don\'t think that would be a bad thing. Quality over quanity.

That is why there is two debate boards, for my kind and the \'informed\' kind
