I understand that some people like me usually are good soldiers; I've only been ticketed twice. However, when the topic involves a touchy subject that could lead to a console war and seeing how popular they are around here, my first choice would to have those hot spots be heavily monitored for anybody trying to start a riot.

This one individual, getaconnection, was attempting to bait me into a TOS violation and I could not just ignore him. He is the typical teenager who has zero Netiquette and probably has gone over to fan the flames elsewhere. We have too many smart***es trying to stir up ****. If GS wants this to stop then they need better moderation. I rarely see any mods taking parts in these discussions.

I'm tired of these wars. Yes, I want to discuss the news story at hand but we have too many troublemakers who stir up the pot and then run out to tell the mods "He violated the TOS." This has been going on for months. I want to know what GS is going to do about it?

We seem to have way too many console wars on just about any topic that deals with companies dissing other companies, fanboys of one console raining on the parade of another and people who can't take honest opinions without trying to bait people into TOS violations. I'm not interested in being a suck-up to GS; I have my dignity. I believe GS needs to disable comments on ANY topic that could lead to a console war by the users. You've had too many of them in the last year and yesterday I got slapped with two violations when other users baited me by insulting my intelligence. I've been a gamer for 25 years. If some fanboy can't take my honest opinion without attempting to bait me then what's the point of having rules? I'm not going to have some teenager take shots at me. Either disable comments on certain news stories or have a moderator post a sticky saying: You will be ticketed with a TOS violation if you attempt to bait or demean a user.

As for trolling, it's not going to stop unless you do something about each camp coming into another camp to take shots at a console. If I come over and say that I question Nintendo's business practices but do it without being offensive, that shouldn't be a concern but if I'm being attacked to the point that I have to respond, again, the mod should quickly cover it up before I read it.

So, in closing, I think you need to ramp up the moderations and punish baiters at any commentary page that might involve a topic that could lead to a Console War. I don't know why GS is desperate for hits but this place is quickly becoming a magnet for console wars and it needs to stop. GS doesn't seem to be doing anything to abate it.
