Is this Deguello's doing?

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #1 on:** January 23, 2010, 04:32:29 AM »

He was trolling a thread back on the 19th. In the E32010 prediction topic in Handheld discusion.Here is what I figure Ian is going to do. He is going to play nice until his 27 days is up than he is going to be back to his usual self.

If Ian's post there is trolling then half the board needs to be banned. Unless something was deleted or edited that I missed. I see nothing wrong with his post there.

Well there was numerous posts that he did that day so it might not be that one specifically. I just found another one. In the Nintendo being teabaged thread. He said that having motion controls is a half assed justification for a minor hardware upgrade.

I actually looked at most of his posts from that day and the day before and after and still didn't find anything off.

I haven't been a mod for a while, so I doubt it's me.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #6 on:** January 23, 2010, 05:00:17 AM »

Well I know it is Pap64 that issued the warning.

I'm gonna guess this is the comment in question.

If you make a next gen game with conventional controls thejustification for its existence would be improved graphics and moreenemies on screen and that kind of stuff that improves because ofhardware. No one bought a Wii to have slightly better looking Gamecubegames. The motion control is the ONLY justification of the Wii evenexisting. It is otherwise a completely half-assed sorry excuse for ahardware upgrade. So if you're making a Wii game I can see why youwould feel the need to force in some sort of motion control so thatyour game doesn't look like a rip-off. And then your game plays likepiss because you're in over your head.

Still not that bad I think, but it's the closest thing I could find.

Yeah that was from the Nintendo being teabagging topic. There was another one in the the E3 2010 topic. It is the first paragraph that is a elitist, condecending, trollish comment.

Therefore you have something to do with it.

We'll see at least 10 minutes dedicated to Nintendo patting themselveson the back. Wii Relax will get the most time. Super Mario Galaxy 2and Metroid will be shown. Nothing by Retro Studios will be shown. Something that's pretty cool and targetted at core gamers will not beshown at the conference and just be somewhat sneaked in Nintendo'spress kit with no fanfare. No Wii third party games with any realpotential will be announced.

This?

NO one will ever know why (except for the Mod that issued the warning and maybe Ian), but it could be from years upon years of comments that finally earned him a warning.

It's only 30 days and it's not like he needs mod approval to post something, so I sure he barely even notices.

I hope it was because of something more than the examples posted in this thread, because I see nothing wrong, at least when it comes to violating the rules. It's none of my business, though.

Saying you disagree with Nintendo in a thread in which the counter argument IS disagreeing with Nintendo is NOT trolling.

Trolling is saying a non-sequitur that is intentionally trying to cause a tired argument in a thread.

Keep that in mind as your cursor is hovering over the report to moderator button Maxi (and others).

Pale · « **Reply #18 on:** January 24, 2010, 11:20:07 AM »

Also, the biggest reason Ian brings up his same arguments all the time, is that soooo many people on these boards keep making threads in which they discuss how wonderful nintendo is. Both are getting tired in my opinion.

If Ian gets banned will Bill come back?

Ooh--are we ranking forum members now?

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #23 on:** January 24, 2010, 01:12:28 PM »

Typical. Ian doesn't have his 26% anymore.

vudu · « **Reply #24 on:** January 24, 2010, 01:25:12 PM »

Ian never should have been warned. He has a dissenting opinion. There's nothing wrong with that. If you don't like what he says either refute it in a civil manner or simply ignore his posts.

And for the record, he does still have a 26% warning. You just can't see it.
