Sounds like you need to deal with criticism better.
Not gonna do this here.
To most people, avoiding petty wars and personal insults is perfectly normal and respectful behavior. To you, it's an effort akin to avoiding the friggin' plague.
I understand what you're saying but it's unfair when certain group of people are warned / banned for the simplest reasons while others can bend the rules without any repercussions.
. I'm not so sure if warnings and bans for platform warring reasons on gaming site are necessary. Something like that only censor people and create problems for miniorities (like xbox and PC fans) and I'm sure moderators dont like it either when they have to moderate hundreds of posts daily. Moderators on most forums moderate spam, and rude comments and they only censor people who post racists comments. Why neogaf mods cant give people freedom to talk about games how they like and only moderate people who really deserve to be punished for their rude behavior?
Why did I got a warning for this post? I still stand to what I said then, Cerny IMO doesn't have the so-called soft skills required to do the proper talking, he's not a spokesman, never has been he's a tech guy, a geek if you like, and that's exactly the reason why he's the leading architect designer and not the marketing director or some other high-level exec. If anyone got offended because I dared the to criticize his god Cerny that that's his own problem, but I thought mods are better than that? It looks like I'm not allowed to have a personal opinion/view on something if it goes against the broader audience's opinion, like I'm on REra or something...
Another one, which has apparently been deleted, but the warning states that:
I'm pretty confident that there was a clear "if" within my deleted post, because who knows, maybe the game will indeed share the same fate as let's say Resistance series, where the 3rd one despite being the best didn't do so well because of how different the 2nd game was from the original, which many fans didn't like and never gave the series a second chance afterwards. No one obviously knows how it'll all turn out in the long term for TLoU2, but I think asking questions/having doubts isn't a crime? Especially seeing the games isn't as universally acclaimed as some would like it to be, so I have all the rights to have those concerns. Or is it indeed a crime? Again, I can only imagine how many reports the post got, for no real reason other than "critique" of someones beloved brand.
And the recent one which I was actually informed about because I had to acknowledge it but it still bothers me the the most:
Xbox Removes Yearly XBL Gold Subscription | Is Free Multiplayer Coming?
Free multiplayer on consoles? I almost forgot that it was a thing someday...www.neogaf.com
Like I said, jokes and having fun seems to be not allowed anymore on this forum? I had a good mood, wanted to post something funny, and I got a warning and 3 points instead, again, that's really encouraging to participle on the forum... But at the same time, the most obvious, low-effort troll/console warring threads are growing up like mushrooms after rain pretty much every single day and nothing is being done with them when XB and PS fanboys troll and attack each other like crazy. Back in the day, the so-called "old Gaf" a mod immediately closed such threads with the "No versus threads" comment and it served so damn well for everyone, but nowadays it seem there either is way to few mods to handle the moderation, or they simply don't engage unless they don't receive appropriate reports. But whatever, it's not my site, you do as you see fit, but bottom line is, you could've just ask me for deleting the post if you thought it was inappropriate, which I would do without any issues, because I cannot guess how others (including mods) will view my posts, especially in the sensitive pre-generation launch times where apparently everyone gets offended by everything, but again, who is to blame here? I cannot take responsibility for random strangers form the internet who devoted themselves into plastic wars, nor should I be punished for them.
I understand what you're saying but it's unfair when certain group of people are warned / banned for the simplest reasons while others can bend the rules without any repercussions.
Mods have three choices:
1- they can start giving warnings / bans for the simplest reasons to all PS fans as well in order to be fair to everyone (because the same rules should apply to everyone, yes or no?). With this strategy probably many users will leave neogaf for good because the vast majority of people here are sony fans.
2- they can pretend the issue (or should I say xbox and PC fans) doesn't exist. With this strategy only xbox and PC fans will be upset.
3- mods can rethink their warning / banning policy and stop giving warnings / bans for the simplest reasons. With this strategy everyone should be happy.
Mods are humans too and I dont believe they have a time to review every single warning in a fair manner because it takes time to read multiple posts and conclude who started a fight for real. For example one of my warnings says my post was going to start a platform war but in reality the war was already raging before I even wrote anything, because one Sony guy has baited other xbox and PC fans as well into discuassion with totally absurd claim (he said PS5 games will look like next generation compared to XSX / PC games thanks to supperior I/O, and he was totally sure of it without any proofs). Moderator clearly didnt read the post I was trying to adress but found a paragraph just for me.
In my country we have this saying "give me somone and I will find a paragraph for him". Many users are easily triggered when they read something they dont want to hear and then they will overuse the report button. When mods will see there's a "trouble maker" then they will find a paragraph for him just to please people who push the report button.
But why so many people are overusing the report button? Most people report posts for platform warring reasons, but the problem is platform warring leaves way too much room for interpretation and especially when someone just want to make a joke (because of language barier not everyone will get the joke).
Also when you really think about it all users on neogaf have some preference towards certain platform and if mods would want to apply the same standards for everyone then everyone should be reported and banned for platform warring reasons
This entire thread proves you are wrong, because many people repeat exactly the same thing about their warnings and bans.
With all respect, I don't think that anybody claims that the PS5 cannot reach 10.2 TF as advertised. There have been articles by the most respectable outlets that stated that it was a maximum but not sustained performance. Cerny himslef said to expect this to drop based on the workload and we had a developer in possession of a PS5 dev kit that said that Sony's preference was for games not to run at the max performance all the time. Nobody to my knowledge said that the PS5 console sheet was false and if someone did then yes they deserve a warning. It is however an undeniable fact that nobody knows the floor of the PS5 clock rates, that they do not stay at max capacity and that it wouldn't take much of a dip for them to take the console's compute power into the 9.0-9.99TF range. Those are all known facts and nobody should feel threatened for saying that the PS5 is not a sustained 10 TF console. Sony had every opportunity to state the floor rates of their clocks or to go with fixed clocks which would have left no room for such claims.
Might also welcome them to 2010 since they just discovered SSDs.
When you get a warning for "exaggerating for effect", since you called out people that are pretending that the XSX has no SSD by posting videos comparing HDDs to SSDs and saying that's how XSX will run vs PS5, and call them out saying they are implying that the XSX SSD is the equivalent of phones and tablets (which also use solid state storage), I don't know what else to tell you. It is a direct contradiction to the XSX specs. And that has been going on practically across the whole forum. If people have been banned for it, I have not seen it. I'll let you be the judge of that.
And here we have yet another example of deliberately misrepresenting one's statement for some virtue or superiority signaling. Avoiding something like the plague is a common saying. Deliberately making it a literal statement to put someone else down is fucking nasty. Not to mention this is clearly bait. And shit like this doesn't get anyone warnings.

You seem to believe that they sit at the max speed and only occasionally drop below the max. This developer explains the opposite:

I replied to someone who asked me to prove something in this very thread. How come his question belonged in the thread but not the answer?

A good sign of being invested is when someone selects the facts they like.
Or just makes them up entirely like you are doing.
