I am still trying to find a true quality post. I notice there are too many fanboys, so any advice how to spot one without falling for his trap?

Mindless bashing of other than his preferred platform is a good sign.

People making claims without backing them up are usually fanboys.

or lazy. easy way to spot a fanboy is they ignore all the bad things their favorite consoles have. also people who argue and counter argue without sounding stupid...

It's easy when one reads comments like "x game should have been on y system" but the best indication is when a poster bashes a game or system they've never even played.

I look for "lol" in whenever someone posts. I mean, the mature and open minded people of system wars (rare as they may be) tend not to use "lol." But that is just my own observation. Mindless bashing of a different console is good way to root one too.

I know. Most people do. It's just a tendency that I think I have noticed. Whenever a big fanboy comes up with his blind, narrow-minded, biased, and recycled argument for X console, they usually put "lol" every where as if to say that what he thinks is hilariously obvious. I suppose a better way to say it is someone who spams "lol"

Wow, I've learned so much a lot about reading a forum. I think this thread should be sticky for a newcomer to spot a fanboy and avoid him.

The three ways to spot them: 1. They deny being a fan boy 2. There list of greatest games for their system oddly has almost every game on the system listed. 3. Even when having lost an argument, they stretch it on to the point where nothing is said because you prooved them wrong several days ago yet the battle still goes. 4. I like Chicken ^ ^

That's a troll. A fanboy is someone who manages to do that without meaning to.
