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.

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
I think it's a fine idea to remove negative fanboyism in most cases. The exception should be if a thread is created specifically to have a smart discussion about 360/Wii/PS3 and even then I think it should be allowed as long as opinions are well constructed.
However, fanboyism has no place in threads where it really isnt related to the topic. If someone makes a Halo 3 topic and a poster comes in says LULZ 360 IS TEH HERP, well then that's certainly pretty pointless and obviously trolling. All that really does is hijack a thread and prevent meaningful discussion. As a suggestion for a solution, maybe remove that kind of [censored] from other threads an make an **Official Console Wars** thread where people can talk console smack whether it be "YoUr SyStEm SuCkS" or some big long thought out response, then you can just kill all the other fanboyism floating around since you created a place to vent it.
