It doesn't matter if the insult is mild or harsh, the important thing is that if the rules say no direct personal attacks no matter the commenter or the topic  then it should be enforcer and everyone warned. I didn't ask for the guy to get warned but a warning was indeed needed and that's mainly what I wanted.

I've been to forums where they are far much strict as to what you can do or say, and people accept it just fine. Some people seem to forget that when you sign up to a forum you first have to accept the terms of service. When you accept it you agree to all of the rules and accept to be disciplined if you break them. Mods and staff members also seem to forget this and either ignore the offending posts or go easy on them.

Both the staff members and the forum members are bound to the rules as mentioned in the ToS. All must follow it. Once this is done everyone gets respect points and the forums have credibility.

I don't appreciate your tone and I find it insulting.  Consider yourself reported.  ;)

Understand that in order to get perma-banned, you have to REALLY try hard.  We don't ban people without cause, we don't do it on a whim, and we don't get any pleasure out of doing it (frankly, it's a bunch of drama we don't need).

And this is a big part of the problem as far as I'm concerned.  Why treat banning as a last resort?  It's not a nuke (that would be shutting down the forums completely); it's a targeted assault.  (I can't believe I'm saying this, but) Kotaku is great because they regularly ban terrible posters.  If someone is all around sucky, get rid of them.  Posting is a privilege, not a right.  If nothing else, I think you should temp-ban people at the drop of a hat.  It would keep people on their toes and make them think before they post something for the world to see.

EDIT:  I am not referring to anyone specific poster.  Truth be told, I don't think we have that many people fit into the above category.  But they are out there, and life would be better if they were gone.

I don't think I'm comfortable with the idea that banning should be used to weed out "sub-standard" posters. Most of those people GoldenPhoenix seems perfectly capable of chasing away on her own... j/k &P

Calling someone a hypocrite is a direct personal attack.  Being called a hypocrite is not a nice thing.  Regardless of whether it's mild or harsh.  And if that's against the rules then it's against the rules.  It just goes to show that depending on the Mod who gets the complaint the discipline or lack there of, is where the problem is.  There should be one standard and all members should be held to that and Mods should not pick and choose how they act on the complaints.

I don't know. Is it a personal attack if someone is specifically called a hypocrite? Is it a personal attack if their actions are described as hypocritical? What's the difference?

None really, both are a cheap way of insulting someone.  Being called a hypocrite or hypocritical is a direct insult to the person it is directed at, where personally to them or their opinions, and when you're on a forum, or anywhere on the internet, this is the basest form of attack one can do to someone.

Exhibit A:

The site staff has gone moderator happy in recent month, yes I know that the Hawtness thread probably would have ended up with NWR somehow being sued, and political thread always were killed on site. But the age of the nonsense and Funhouse has died. Vendettas and harmless personal attack are gone, the site's weird sense of humor is dieing, and what made this site better than all other forums is slowly, completely, and irreversibly disappearing.

Exhibit B:

And this is a big part of the problem as far as I'm concerned.  Why treat banning as a last resort?  It's not a nuke (that would be shutting down the forums completely); it's a targeted assault.  (I can't believe I'm saying this, but) Kotaku is great because they regularly ban terrible posters.  If someone is all around sucky, get rid of them.  Posting is a privilege, not a right.  If nothing else, I think you should temp-ban people at the drop of a hat.  It would keep people on their toes and make them think before they post something for the world to see.

We as staffers are often in a no-win situation.  When we do intervene, we're labelled as being mod-happy.  When we don't, we're accused of not taking control of our own forums.  We try to be consistent as best we can (and I think that that is happening, especially since Pale has taken over as CM).  But realize that it's a tough job and we'll never make everybody happy.

So what say the forum?  Harsh or lenient?  We can go either way.

Ban stevey.  ;D

Don't censor ideas.  Don't get rid of people who criticize Nintendo if they do it in the proper sections and in a civilized manner.

However, if people troll posts by criticizing Nintendo (or any other company) when it's uncalled for, ban away (even if it's temporary).

Not going to lie...I thought Bill was stronger than this. He was always known to me as the biggest Nintendo fan on here. In most topics in the past, it was always Ian with the pessimism and Bill with the optimism.

Nothing's changed. It's weird for him to all the sudden be fed up with it, especially considering the state of Nintendo today.


I'm honestly disappointed.

People get fed up. Bill's not Superman, he had a breaking point and I guess it was finally reached.

I didn't ask for the guy to get warned but a warning was indeed needed and that's mainly what I wanted.

Some people seem to forget that when you sign up to a forum you first have to accept the terms of service. When you accept it you agree to all of the rules and accept to be disciplined if you break them.

Both the staff members and the forum members are bound to the rules as mentioned in the ToS. All must follow it. Once this is done everyone gets respect points and the forums have credibility.

I don't appreciate your tone and I find it insulting.  Consider yourself reported.  ;)

Considering the jokes, comments and arguments I've gotten myself into in the last few years surprised I haven't been reported yet :p .

One thing I wanted to mentioned about Bill's post is the negativity regarding gaming.

Now, this is a problem of the generation, not the site. This generation of gaming has been one of drastic change, and as such people will have an opinion of it and there will be many that will be alienated by it. The people alienated by all of this are young internet viewers who perhaps don't understand what is going on and loudly express it.

This is to be expected as fans can be finicky and have no qualms regarding courtesy or respect. The problem lies when the mods, staff members and journalists of a website act just as bad, if not worse, than the fans. This is an issue because this gives more powers to trollers and use them as a excuse to troll and be angsty.

It may sound like I am silencing the opinion of said people. I'm not. Its just that when you go to every website that has a "OMG Wii sucks" or "OMG the 360 is made of fail" you expect something different, and its annoying when the higher ups are catering to that.

As much as I respect RMC my biggest gripe is that sometimes he keeps going on and on about certain subjects, both good and bad. It gets to the point where he uses any newstory to pop in an opinion or comment, making it look like he is trying hard to get the point across and making fans along the way. Yes, he entitled to his opinion, but when he can't help but make a comment about Sonic in an entry about video footage its like he is fanning the flames and giving fuel to the trolls.

My recommendation to the staff members of NWR about dealing with Nintendo and/or Sony/MS negativity is to try and bring an alternative point of view to the matter and don't just focus on one aspect. Or at least be calm and respectful about it. Don't use every newstory to bring a point across. Don't fan the flames in a heated discussion. If things are getting out of hand, bring out a different opinion or use the ban hammer if needed.

Again, this is hard to do since there's no way to stop how people feel about a company or gaming generation. What can be done is controlled the attitude by pointing out other facts, warning those that want to start trouble and focus on civil discussion.

Lindy: Regarding being a mod, just ban and warn when you or anyone feels something is getting out of hand. Of course the guilty ones will say there's abuse of power and will cry foul, but that's to be expected.

The reality is that the Hawtness Thread DID start as a fun, silly topic. But people pushed it with pornographic content, despite some of it being mild by internet standards. If the rules say that no pornographic imagery is to be posted them you should embrace that and lay down the law.

I ... would add that you get 2 temp bans.3rd offense you are gone.

I don't think it needs to go that far.  There's no need for black & white rules when something is certainly a gray area.

Three minor offenses do not necessarily equal a large offense.

If someone gets a little out of hand on a regular basis, there's no reason to permanently ban them.  But they might need regular reminders in the form of a forced break from posting.  This is something that needs to be left to the discretion of the mods.

So there is really is no arena in which the term "hypocrite" would be acceptable? I'm flabbergasted! Isn't "hypocritical" a perfectly accurate descriptor for certain kinds of behavior? For example, some might use the word to describe the recent comments from 2K games on crappy Wii titles, and I think such would be a valid argument. Or is it alright to directly insult a company but not each other?

I think analyzing something and finding it hypocritical would be a perfectly rational action. In fact, I invite people to point out my hypocrisies as I often find it a galvanizing way of re-evaluating my behavior.

Or is it just that to be insinuated as hypocritical, whether it be you, your ideas, or your actions, simply overrides everyone's brains into a fight-flight stance?

It would be great to live in a black-white world with no gray.  But I don't want to say it's okay to attack companies and not people, but in the end I'm going to have to because the companies are not members (to my knowledge, but who knows.) and almost always it's done in a way to demoralize the other person.  Sure there is nothing to be done about hurting other people's feelings, but that doesn't mean there can't be a concerted effort not to do just that, even if in the end we aren't all going to get along butterflies and sunshine. 

When someone is called a hypocrite it's usually done because the person slinging it around can't think of a normal convincing argument against what the other person has to say so they just call them a hypocrite because they don't like their idea's/opinions whether they have genuinely changed over time or not.  It's a fact of life, you are allowed to change your mind, and you don't have to give a reason why and defend it, and you shouldn't be called out on it either.

I always go by the rule, if I don't have something nice or meaningful to add, I don't say anything even if I want to really try and force my opinion out there.  You can not possible know how many times these last nearly 6 years we've had this forum I have deleted everything I have typed before posting because the only thing I would accomplish would be to cause a fight.  (Ian should follow that philosophy before he post what he seemingly pulls out of his butt just about every time he posts something, then maybe so many people here wouldn't dislike or outright hate him.)

I now follow this rule as well.  If I don't have anything positive to add to the conversation, I don't bother.  If I disagree with somebody's opinion, I shake my head and move on to the next thread.  I failed to do this in the past and it's resulted in me saying things out of frustration that I now regret.  But, live and learn as they say.

I know exactly what you're saying Nitsu. I've done the same thing so very often myself actually, it's a good rule to follow to double check whether you really have anything nice or rational to add.

However, I won't avoid topics just because I might disagree passionately. It's just that I don't want to be involved just because I disagree with someone. I try to avoid being someone who posts their disagreement without actually having something interesting to say... Though I wonder how successful I've been in the effort.

Man, I remember when I got sternly warned by the mods for writing out my signature explicitly in each post...

It all depends on how the opinion is expressed. You could disagree with the greatest thing ever and still be respected for it as long as you are calm and have facts to support your claims, and of course you don't belittle everyone else. I know I said Ian tends to follow the rule, but he does sometimes present his opinion in a condescending manner and it annoys people.

All of us are guilty of this, myself included.

Not to create any black blood between any of us, but one recent example was Dirk Temporo in the pre-order thread. He clearly doesn't pre-order because he believes in saving money and he can get the games anytime. That's no problem since its a purchase decision and everyone does things their way (some rent, some buy, some buy used, some buy at launch, some buy for cheap etc.). But what really annoyed me was the nasty attitude he brought into the thread. The thread was something he disagrees with, but he felt the need to try and mock and belittle anyone that pre-orders.

I confess I didn't make things easier with my negative attitude, and in hindsight I should have walked away, but his attitude really annoyed me because he had nothing to bring to the thread. He just wanted to make a nasty point across, and frankly this isn't the first time.

This thread has exploded since I last seen it! Anyway all I have to say is personal insults are never a good thing, and do nothing but hurt the image of the site (Yes I include myself in there when I've actually stepped over the line) so honestly I'm not too disappointed Mario is gone. Maybe if it was a year ago I'd think differently because he had some pretty funny "devils advocate" posts but it got to the point where I had no idea if he was joking anymore and he seemed to stoop more and more to insulting people. With that said I'm not sure his ban was worth it because of the loss of Bill, who was always a great poster, perhaps a bit too optimistic at times but he brought quite a bit of spirit to the boards even with his creepy anime screen shots!

I know, for myself, if I got warned I'd do my best to avoid perpetuating whatever it was that I was warned about. It appears Mario was warned multiple times and kept on ignoring the warnings, something that really cannot be tolerated unless you don't want people to respect any kind of moderating authority.

I'm definitely not for banning posters that do not contribute to a respectfully semi-intelligent level (One comes to mind) but I do support temp banning or perma ban for those that blatantly ignore the rules even after multiple warnings from moderators. I do NOT want this place to turn into GoNintendo or Gamefaqs which are good examples of what happens when you let members run rampant and do whatever they please.

Funny enough, I once told GP in a PM that I appreciated NWR far more than Go Nintendo and VG chartz. I am an active member on both of those sites, yeah I can vouch that none can compare to the quality this site has, despite its warts.

Like GP mentioned the users at Go Nintendo do nothing but whine, troll and complain without any real control or warning. I understand that RMC can be a busy guy and probably needs the heads up on bad behavior, but considering its HIS site he really needs to take charge (and tone his attitude while at it).

The people at VG Chartz are quite nice and made many friends there. But the boards are nothing but fickle sales discussion and trolling. I know the site is about videogame sales, but the minute a game is proven a hit through estimates people go crazy and make celebratory threads that lead to nothing. Not to mention the troll ratio is really high.

It might not be balanced, but NWR at least focuses on game discussion. Its one of the few sites I've been to this generation where people actively discuss games while everyone else just whine, bitches, trolls and complains.

Its why I've been voicing my complaints because the site IS good and don't want it to go to hell.

It gives the site a bit of personality.  People complain that NWR has become sterile.  They say there's nothing that separates it from countless other Nintendo-related fan sites.  A few playful jabs from the mods shows us they care.  :)  Say what you want about SUPER, but the guy left his mark on the forums (read:  the Funhouse).
Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

If you guys want a testament to how this site still has heart and is still a good place, just look at this thread. People are freely expressing their opinions both pro and con without getting overly nasty. It shows people still care and I doubt many places could have such a free wielding and respectful thread like this.
