I've neglected to get involved as I did think this was not Off Day nobhead what did you have for breakfast talk and my intention for this forum was that although not about cars the conversation would still be substantial and polite. Perhaps more importantly than elsewhere, contributions to threads must be factually accurate and presented with fair justification and reason. Unjustified abuse is not welcome, particularly if the only reason for that abuse is someones preference regarding their games console.
Sadly things are not currently OK, particularly after complaints from a growing number of people. I don't want to unpick it all, and I've no plan to if it stops.
Thanks in advance.

Im not so sure banning Topshot is the answer.
If you ban Topshot, then IMO you should ban John.

But by rising to it you make yourself look like a plonker. Just leave it be and we can all live happily ever after.

I don't care for what circles it goes in, or who said something in response to something else.
I'm not interested in bickering and he said this so I said this crap. If it doesn't stop and I have to spend time dealing with it then bans will result. I simply cannot afford the time wasted sorting out, and that includes finding staff for in here.
Current staffing structure is more than adequate for what should be a low maintenance forum. Please make its so.

I've not enough justification to ban on anything before today in here. I'll be banning anyone who doesn't take this post on board.

TBH you're arguing about a frigging home appliance!
What next? microwave battles? Who's fridge keeps food the coolest?
WHO GIVES A RATS ASS ABOUT WHICH BRAND OF CONSOLE YOU LIKE?
You like Sony? fine - buy a PS3 and be happy
You like Microsoft, get a Xbox360 and play it until your heart is content
But please stop the bickering about it!
I rarely use GD because I'm fed up of it all tbh.

your making something out of nothing.
wait. hold on. shall i go into match day and shout and scream about how much them guys talk on topic?
jules, stop crying. you obviously come into gd enough to notice 1/50 threads is a console related thread. the whole proving topshop wrong has died down now anyway.
i can't believe you think this is such a big thing. go through all the gd threads from the start of jan to now and find the ratio of console (flamed) threads to everything else. i'm guessing its a 5% ratio. its frusting reading comments like this. petty little things that you just have to complain about.
if you see a console related thread, your gonna have to assume theres different opinions. its a public forum after all.

Sensible debate is good.
Posting in every thread in here saying the ps3 is rubbish, and then not even knowing what you are taling about isn't.

its annoying if a post about something to do with a ps3, or a 360 gets turned into a Vs thread or slagging match within the first few posts.
however i dont mind a decent debate thats points out both consoles strengths and weaknesses.
mainly i still stand by what i quoted from rus though, i really think its making a mountain out of a mole hill

I'm not worried how you classify it - its pissed people off, so that is enough for me to post about it.
The actual magnitude of the problem is not the issue.
