You didn't read what I said. I didn't say "bad things". I said "obvious negative fanboy rhetoric". There is a significant difference.

I moderated a huge forum and still do and have for about 15 years now.
The first post of this thread read to me like a personal attack on the mod.
It came off too specific and it sounds like angry language. It nothing personal, but I'd ban the shit out of you and make you an example.
Respect. Its all mods really want from having to deal with fucking children
stupid, petty, coward assm, (fuck that, aint no one talking to me like that)
If some of these words were choosen differently and it came off as genuinely not aggressive,
yes I feel the passion, but it was a dumb way to post publicly about your own pm and then even with all the warnings(theyre warning you for a reason)
and say
"exposed the PR crap of Phil Spencer"
yeah thats exactly what they told us to kick back on.
The original post is angry talk and needs more quiet time to before spewing more crap.
Its only a game focker.
No need to be rustled so hard,
that you commit sepuk-wahtever that japanese suicide where you slice your belly open in front of us.
You dont have to sacrifice yourself like Jesus Christ to save the xbots. Jim Ryan isnt a deity nor is phil spencer
I came into Gaf to share my joy of having played Infinite BTB and how awesome I had fun playing this weekend with more than just the old "insiders" but
All Ive seen is people bitch and complain about it more than they've enjoyed it here
then I find out these people are just hating on it for the sake of hating.(what it seems like to me)
A good advice would be say your passionate comment, make it non-aggressive, with no agenda behind it
and move the fuck on, Say/write your "piece", and gtfo. Why argue and reiterate over and over again making yourself thick in shit.
Spread your shit around and you'll be less likely to get attention and focus for these terrible opinions you write.

I dont think its this its pure fanboyism
People buy a certain plastic box and want everyone to be with them to the point where they make fun of others who don't like what they like.
I was honestly told people only buy a certain platform because of fanboyism and sit and wish they had the other box
I mean seriously people think this

But putting up your hand in front of everyone and publicly calling out and accusing people never flies.
Good luck doing that at a board room meeting to a peer or boss.

I actually liked the dude. 
I think a lot of the console warring cunts have ruined it for the rest of us though. Taking a mild jab/shitpost is now bannable. I've made jokes at Microsoft in the past but I've never actually had a problem with them and think this gen they're getting their shit together and getting games/IPs. I'm happy for the Xbox owners if anything but some people HAD to ruin it.

This the problem i have with this thread, there was a thread with healthy discussion that closed fairly quickly, while sublimit could have handled it better this thread only feels like its left open for people to make fun of him or leave a witty comment instead of talking about the real issues, and how we can be better as a community to fall in place with the new guidelines if that is indeed the path.

Yeah i get the ban for clear and repeated console war, but not every ban i saw was in the same ballpark.
I hope this place doesn't become a no fun allowed forum tbh, i'm not even sure if the craig meme topic would be permitted now with this no console war/trolling rules...
Just don't trasform this place in reeee 2.0 where everyone has to be super respectful and nobody can joke about anything, vg are not such a serious matter...
Also where we draw the line? People can say that sony makes movies and not games but if say that nintendo is cheap and greedy and their hardware is obsolete i get a warning?! What is considered a snarky but true remark and what is considered a bannable offense?!
I ask as a personal reference since i like to joke/troll a lot and i don't wanna get banned again for a stupid reason or because someone is super sensible...

The real issue is people behaving like children. Look at all the thumbs up in the sticky and then compare to the recently banned. It's always the same guys. And no matter how many get permed, there's always like two new ones to take their place.

There's always console warring.
But given a mod made a sticky about it a week ago giving fair warning about doing it, and telling gamers it's getting bad lately and those same warriors are also seemingly flooding pressing the report button at them means the console warrior cycle is amping up to over the top levels.
So if everyone just cools off a bit, fewer people will get banned and at some point that sticky will disappear.
Look at the ban list the past few days. And then check out the post that caused it. Couldnt be more blatant. Still no control but to keep flaming. They know what they are doing. You can tell they were trying to wing a quick one liner or two hoping it slips through.

This is pretty hilarious.
I would recommend looking at the responses you are receiving and perhaps start to look inward.
It appears you are not the type of person capable of having thoughtful conversations. But at the end of the day, it doesn't even appear that you are interested in that at all. You didn't come here to learn anything, or to engage with others. Your statements are the gaming forum equivalent of yelling "fire" in a crowded movie theater and then bitching and moaning about the consequences.
Grow up.
It doesn't take a detective to understand what you are trying to achieve with posts like that. It is so obvious, it is almost embarrassing to witness in person. No nuance, not even an attempt to conceal what you are trying to do.
I swear to god, we should just implement a system where people privately validate they own both consoles to the mod team or a history of intriguing, value adding, posts to filter for high quality discussion.

I think the crackdown has to do more with the usual warriors not only doing it, but also doing all the report button whining as a full circle of stupidity.
Who knows. Maybe if it was solely modest console warrior posts in isolation on the forum that would slide. But if I was getting report button junk I had to sift through from people who do the same thing to others, Id cut the cord fast too.

I think he just got triggered by the snarky little comments mods leave. Some poeple dont like being antagonized especially when their posts are calm/rational.
Him pointing out Phil is painting a different picture of their Japan strategy is quite normal. Microsoft bascially doesnt exist there. Sony is just making a slight dent. Anyone talking about those issues are extremely valid. Just like Sony finally restructured Studio Japan. By removing team silent leadership. Moving 3rd party support from Studio Japan into XDev Japan. And moving most of the team into Team Asobi. The team has been a financial failure for years. People talk about this all the time. This might be concern for gamers looking forward to more Japanese first party games.
I personally would never buy an xbox for me. There is literally nothing that can change my mind. This does not make me a fanboy. These opinions shouldnt be an issue. I will keep stating these opinions.

Returnal isnt an Indie game because Housemarque is owned by Sony.
Calling a game a failure is subject to developer/publisher expectations.....one dev might only need 1 million sales to call their game successful COD selling 1 million would be a failure.
You can think Halo is gonna suck but atleast give your reasons....if you just say I think its gonna suck willy nilly esp in a Halo or Xbox thread you are clearly just trying to cause drama.....expect a warning.
So not sure why you are shocked.

Right, but you just posted reasonably & rationally in my opinion. No one likes everything and that’s ok, as is explaining your reasons why in a thought out manner.
He did a drive by post, with no explanation other than the “but but” bullshit which came off badly.
Then acted like a baby when told off by a mod by starting this thread. Not rational at all and the ban is justified as far as I’m concerned.

While the OP threw a lot of unnecessary shade, the overall point is still valid. It isn't about being owed anything. It's about arbitrary post deletions with months-long warnings because you said something that the specific moderator didn't like. I have a three month long warning that doesn't expire until November because I said the Switch has sub-par graphics due to having sub-par hardware (compared to PS4+/Xbox One+). I own a Switch. That isn't console warring. It's simple a fact, and an obvious one at that.
The warnings force you to acknowledge it, but there's no option to dispute it. And they don't tell you who did it so you can't reach out and ask what was wrong with what you posted. Arbitrary moderation is a fact of life when it comes to forums, but some of these post deletions and warnings are just abuse of power with no opportunity for recourse for the individual who gets warned or banned.
If a mod/admin reads this, I'm not trying to attack or slam you guys, but I hope you'll have some internal talks about this because I feel like you guys are letting the pendulum swing too far the other direction. I'm completely onboard with shutting down console warring, but I think there needs to be some internal discussion about what actual console warring looks like. That is just my two cents.

This is how I see it.
I had a post deleted that I was hinting at something I was told awhile back by a person very high up the food chain at Xbox and I too got one of those odd responses making it sound like I was crying.
I didn't take to the open forums to bash the mods I spoke with a couple of them behind the scenes telling them why I posted what I did and where this info came from.
Point being you dont need to commit account suicide just talk to them like adults

I think he just posted a older post of Phil stating a false japan picture. Maybe he is that dude that bought a Xbox in Japan, now he feels PLAYED.
Eh, he expected to get banned. This is the best way to get banned. Not by making simple posts.
For example I think gamepass is cancer to gaming. Its going to end up like the mobile market where I cant buy anything anymore. Its all “free” and filled with subscriptions and in-app purchases. This is why I support 70$ games. I pay once. The game is all there.

Never used the report button in my life, not even when people insulted me here or in other forums, i usually respond with the same tone or just laugh my ass off.

Don't pass gaas, it is your Destiny!
I got fed up with the randomness of post deletion here to be honest. Like no warning or anything just log on and your post has been removed. Ask about it and it’s can’t respond to thread any more.
Not enough to kill my account for sure but I’ll go days with out posting.
Just happened to be when my gold was up for renewal. Take a pass on that for a while see if it gets better.

The forum went a little wild wild west for a while and some user got used to it and decided to run with it.
Its good some order is returning to the forum.
Youll find quite a number of the current banned list on twitter are the filthiest of filthy console warriors they are bringing that garbage here so hopefully mods keep up with making the forum sane....it shouldnt be so draining to enter pretty much any thread and have console warriors derail the thread within the first page.

If anyone loves console warring to the bitter end, the latest bans on the ban list is like a stake in your heart.
The vast majority of them dont post in any other kind of thread (not even in any Community or Off Topic sections) or post anything outside of warrior posts and drive by snippets.
So for anyone who is tired of console warrior posts, the bans lately are a blessing.
