Hello Everyone. I'm a level 10 user, but a newbie in forums so I'd like to salute any oldies in here.

I want to ask something:

There has been moments in my gaming history which has made me mad, and sometimes I wanted to show a reaction to a wrong decision made by some gaming company or graphics manufacturer,... but what hope can a single vessel have

against their entire defense system?!

For example ubisoft's decision about making SC: Double Agent a Pixel Shader 3.0 only game, which was obviously done by those 

NVIDIA bootlicks to make their new cards market better, making my $200 Graphic card useless, and ignoring many gamers like me who only use pc and don't have a PS3 card. 

So I'm thinking about something: If in some occasional cases, I decide to convict a wrong and selfish phenomenon, created by some gaming company, by creating an online petition, and then I use gamespot forums to collect signatures what would gamespot do about this? Is this allowed at all considering the fact that gamespot has a good connection with many of them? If some petition is very important and can collect many signatures, does any gamespot forum moderator help the petition creator in collecting signatures by announcing it or sticking it,etc?

But online petitions are annoying, and this site isn't here for you to advertise something that will likely just waste people's time.

I don't know if you get gamespot special mails, But they recently sent me a mail which mentioned CAPCOM and Irrational's answer to some user created petitions, so as you can see sometimes it's worth the time for the contributors and it's getting better and better with time. And be sure that I know how to pressurize them if the number of signatures get high!

I don't know what's wrong? I'm just typing.

And also... the PS is just an example, I want to know if someday, for any reason I try to do that, is it allowed or does anyone help me?

If they let everyone post their dumb petitions, the forums would be flooded with hundreds of "We Hate Multiplat" and "Stop Ripping Us Off" petitions. It's nice that you want to change things. Really, it is. But not here.

If you really want to change things, go out into the real world and buy some shoes for poor children. Then put them through college. Now that's making a change! See? You don't need petitions at all. :)

I know www.Gamefaqs.com have a board for petitions, or at least they did when I posted there.

God! How many irrelevant posts!

Buddy! One of those 2 petitions which made CAPCOM respond, was about multiplatform games.

Everything that has a lot of people supporting it, could be announced and make an effect!

I didn't say: please anybody come here and say your idea about everything! I just asked for something to be responded by

some aware moderator!

Many thanks.

I'll check it out.

But I'm a gamespot lover. Hope they'll let me do this too.
