Didn't see your comment and I'm not accusing you of being rude, but like with email and texting, I think it's always a good idea to use the most polite language possible to make it harder to misunderstand your intentions/attitude.
 
Hey guys, what's going on? I'm pretty sure I smelled gold coming down the hallway, so I figured I'd come in and see what's up.

I've had a warning/deleted post once or twice. Both times were strange because I believe what I typed was taken out of context. I've never been a firestarter, and that won't change. But, I understand in a lot of cases there's a lot of crap that gets cleaned up here on a daily basis (especially platform/console warrior stuff). So I figure there could be a few accidents, misunderstandings, etc. I just never took it personally and moved on.

They can both look great. One can still hold the opinion that one looks significantly better. These ideas are not mutually exclusive. I wouldn't say Forza looks much better, but it wouldn't be the first time I disagreed with someone else's perception of something.

Edit: hey demigod demigod , nice to see you again..I'm glad me talking some sense helps you find some happiness today.

"leagues" is far fetched. Yah, you can say you prefer one, but his claim seemed to be pretty embellished/exaggerated, as if there was some enormous generational difference

I also don't think that video comparison was taken in good faith. I have GT7 and it doesn't look anywhere near that bad/washed out. It's like they purposefully captured poor footage

Moderation here is sometimes very random and arbitrarily. Some warriors can post whatever they want, some people get banned for almost nothing. Deal with it.

I got them in the Xbox and Activision acquisition thread. Some are way too sensitive when Sony aren't on the winning side of everything.

Look, it's just not something someone should be silenced for. Not to turn it into a whataboutism, but people were not getting thread banned for saying Starfield was no better than a PS3 game. I absolutely think that is far fetched, yet it's allowed on this forum. There are countless opinions that some would consider disingenuous, or bad takes. Where is that line in the sand drawn, because right now it's a crap shoot.

Edit: I'm happy to have demigod demigod show up to drop his "lol" emoji on my posts. It helps me gauge if I'm getting my point across. Keep up the good work

Be thankful there is someone there to clean up your stupid comments (And I ain't saying you make stupid comments, I mean in general)
Did you really want multiple quotes calling you out on it?
If you did, you're trolling.
If not, they did you a favour.
I've had "a" comment deleted before and I didn't think anything of it other then...maybe they right.
Even if it was a joke and I'm sure the mods here know I joke around a lot and it was harmless.
But that doesn't means "other" members will see it that way so they make the call to delete even if they agree or not.
Nothing is personal guys. 👍

Gt7 looks amazing, I own it and play it alot. I've just laid down 1500 euros on the fanatec gt dd pro for playstation to play it and forza. I even said they both look amazing earlier in the thread.

I only stated that in the video adamsapple shared that I thought that forza looked leagues better.

This thread isn't about gt7 and forza I was just stating the reason I got thread banned and the comment I put and basically, where can I get a response from moderation and a discussion to sort out what is happening.

Also, maybe have my post reinstated so people can decide if I crossed the line.

Oh, l am not commenting on his moderation. I don't know exactly what he said. I tend to prefer people saying what they want as long as its not inflammatory or disingenuous

Both games look outstanding, and though your comment was hyperbolic OP, I see nothing wrong with it considering pretty much everyone here unfortunately speaks in hyperbole. I honestly can't stand hyperbole in general, but if we're gonna allow people to trash pretty much any Xbox first party games with terms like shovelware and mediocre when their metacritics are in the 80's, then I can't see how there was anything wrong with your comment in terms of relativity.

Again, I love Gran Turismo and Forza, no dog in this race and to be completely honest I prefer the analytical look of Gran Turismo to the "louder" style of Forza, but I don't see why you were banned or why your comment was seen as so problematic in comparison to many of the posts I see here. The level to which people trash Xbox daily on this forum far exceeds that, and I very rarely ever see those posts actioned, though it does happen.
 
I don't know, I think it's probably a case of not what you said but how you said it...but I've no Idea.

I guess, if you've tried everything, this is your last resort to try and get some clarification.

That is a reasonable take imo, but you also suggested he not share his opinion to avoid the moderation he received.

Edit: I'm referring to post#11

Edit edit: hey demigod demigod , you missed this one. It makes me sad to not have your laughing emoji in the corner of my post.

It was a joke. Not knowing what he said specifically or his full history, I don't have any comments as to this specific situation.

But it could have been a string of posts made by Drench that lead up to it, too. So you can't take one post in isolation. I don't mind the fella Drench but we know he leans a certain way
 
Getting animated over driving games seems like an odd way to pass the day.

They both look great. I just think they have demonstrably different aesthetic approaches. GT7 favours realism, Forza maintains more of an arcade like flair.

I think each looks better at different turns (pun not intended).

If that video is some console warrior fanboy video that is purposefully making gt7 look worse then they got me. If I'm guilty of that then it sucks. I just went off the video. I can't keep up with who or what are fanboy made videos anymore, I'm too old.
 
Talk to me when Mod of War Mod of War changes your tag from the time travel code to something about fucking candy corn, promises to restore the code after Halloween is over, and then forgets the code he erased. Now I'm stuck in this period of time with all of you squawking fleshwads.
 
I do like to take a step sometimes and think, in dog fight like GT7 v FM, the winners are the people nickel and diming gamers with microtransactions for in game currency. So greedy corporations win, and gamers still love their puppy.

From the outside in, console graphical comparisons can be fun to look at. Also, this forum is in for a fun ride if those Switch 2 rumors end up true and it ends up being a PS5 competitor thanks to tech like DLSS.

Gonna go out on a limb and say the moderators did us a favor then, chief 🤐

Does Forza look better than GT7 in certain, very specific areas? Yes. But a lot better? Nope. And in areas like car model details, GT7 is objectively superior.

By that logic it would be a Series X competitor too because in most games PS5 has been outperforming Series X.

So either people are thinking Series X isn't even in the running anymore, or Switch 2 will outperform it with DLSS. Either take is funny.

I must say, I have been around awhile now, and I have seen these threads before. This is by far the most cordial one I have ever seen.

Edit: demigod demigod , I think this one slipped by you.
