Well it was early 2005 and Gamespot forums were so peaceful, nice comments and serious discussions were made. You could smell the roses and hear the giggles in the background. Adults and kids coexisting in harmony, teenagers playing with eachother, touching themselves... oh crap my bad
.
Anyway, everything was fine, but then the so called Next-gen systems started to step in. After that, different conflicting sides appeared and a common denominator was shared by them: Stupidity.
And that started to be a big pain in the ass to the GameSpot moderators. They were used to deal with flaming posts or disruptive posts or the most common off-topic ones. But now they faced a new challenge, a challenge beyond control, a challenge that even though no one will be able to master, ironically every troll gets better at it by the second. The lack of intelligence. No man can deal with that .
GameSpot guys realized that stupidity had no limits.That it was ruling in their forums, and they couldnt do anything about it. But then, just like that, this guy came and gave an idea. He said he had the solution to the forum stupidity problem, that the night before he had a vision:
In it, all trolls were very organized and kept in one place, away from society. It was a heartening dream.
They just needed, however, to come up with a name for it. Certainly they couldn't name it the Stupidity Shelf, or the Troll Shelf, for obvious reasons; so they decided to go with the newest fad... the console war. It was the perfect scapegoat.
And so it began, GameSpot opened a new forum, a home for all stupid moronic people, called: System Wars.
Now you'd ask what the hell does this retarded story have to do with the title? well then be freaking patient and let me explain.
It is clear that trolling = stupidity . (Now if you didnt get that from what I wrote above, then you are not far from it either.) No one who has a developed brain will ever spend more than 5 minutes in that holocaustic place. Personally, I'd never post there. Doing so would lower my level to point that I wouldnt respect myself anymore. And I know most people here think the same way. (Check the TROLL HUNTER squad and join it -by putting it on your sig-)
But what amuses me the most, is that there are people who ONLY post there. You check their post history and 90% of their posting is at SW. And sadly, then they come to the regular forums and pretend it's the same.
And this is what links me to the title, we shouldnt have to deal with those people, trolls. Which 90% of them come from SW. So I suggest that:
People who have more than 5 posts at SW shouldn't be allowed to post in regular forums.
That would certainly help moderators to keep trolling posts away, and make the forums a much better place for the community. Im sure it will also make it a much friendlier enviroment and with more serious discussions. Mature people (regardless of age) simply do not post at SW.
I sincerily hope this rule gets the green light, it's not hard to code, nor expensive, and it will definitely help us all. Not to mention it will make me very happy cuz it was my idea
j/k ... or am I?

BTW, to MaxCal, injusto=unfair
Its cool guys, I know not everyone there is bad, but hell like I said I know people who spend more time at SW than at regular forums. Thats just sad.
To my spanish friends, yeah, totally missed that, injusto can be used as injustice, but unfair is much more common so yeah. Hell my english is far from well too lol.
To axel, im proud of you boy. Great minds think alike.
My thing is that the Fanboys really turn me off to the systems and that what makes me dislike the X-box 360 and the Wii, they act as like they played the PS3 and G4TV just like to Be fanboys about the whole Next-gen that the people in SW love to hear and starting BS & Rumors upon the PS3 all the time (I hate the woman on the Feel). pointless fanboy statements like: PS3 core is broken, LOL evEn XbOX OwN Ps3 iN eVeryWay, the price is to high...Oh here's a good one

I mean Come on if this ain't the most Fanboyish Statement I ever see in my life...and the Mods do nothing at night (even day at some times) for the PS3 fourms, all the Fanboys come out at night to talk bad about the PS3 I guess they Fear what they do not understand and Do the Fear it.
I agree with your solution to prevent trolling on the PS3 forums but i think it will never be adopted.
5% of your posts then . Considering thats around 50 posts for every thousand you have, Its a lot.
I made a new blog about fanboys factions and what they have in common with the war in Iraq, go to my profile and read it
