Re: Fanboy policy
As much as I'm sick of threads being started by Dire solely to bash a system he doesn't own, I dislike censorship more. But not allowing threads to be started bashing another system seems like a good idea, I think these type of threads don't add much value to the forum, and obviously people can still voice their opinions in replies.

Re: Fanboy policy
People are retarded about some topics, video games being one (sports, politics, martial arts are others). If you look at the best vg-forum online, NeoGaf, they have moderation that makes NT! look weak. Seriously though, the vg-forum here is too low traffic to put much moderation effort into.

If you have something to say, and you can 'reasonably' support it - I'd expect it would/should never be moderated.

Re: Fanboy policy
I think repeated unsupported negative claims should get a warning, but more censorship than that takes away the heart of any good video game forum.
Someone doesn't have to own a system to know something about it. Just because you own a certain console doesn't mean you are more knowledgeable about it. I own a 360 but didn't know about red rings of death until it happened to me. My wife wants a range rover... I don't have to own one to know that the maintenance records SUCK BALLS for them and you pay out the ass in repairs. She's not getting a range rover.

Re: Fanboy policy
Sounds like a hard line to oversee, because someone can make very good points mixed in with worthless ones or mistaken ones, so be halfway between being a deluded fanboy and right on the button. And unless you really know the systems in depth to judge, it's not easy to know when stuff strays from true.
