re: The Console War Treaty...

I understand what this treaty is meant to do, but it won't change anything. There are no legal ties to whom ever signs it and even with 1000 signatures, it won't stop the remaining fanboys from attacking. I'm all for the poetical death of fanboys, but what would signing this treaty really accomplish?

re: The Console War Treaty...

Well, that's pretty much what the moderator is doing anyways, so this treaty doesn't exactly do much in that respect.

That's funny, trying to reach an agreement between mortal enemies. It's like trying to get a lion and a gazelle to become friends. It's never gonna happen.

re: The Console War Treaty...

quote Naughty3chia
Im getting sick of all these console war threads, these days you can't even start a thread in the Console threads without it breaking out into a console war, so i Made this Treaty all who agree to the treaty will help make the console threads a more peaceful place to be:
"We promise to keep all complaints about other consoles out of the consoles threads themselves but rather in our own thread, in return the players of the other consoles can do the same on their thread, but if they see something on our thread about their console they may not reply because this is solely our opinion on our own, but if it is posted in their thread it may be rightfully bashed to death"
All who agree and understand this Treaty please Sign so we can have peace and get back to discussing and playing Our OWN consoles.
Ok firstly I believe you are mixing up the concept of a thread with a forum. I have made the word "thread" bold where I assume you meant "forum".

Secondly, you cannot tell people that they are not allowed to post a certain point in the console war thread because you don't like it. Especially not threatening them with a ban if they do. If we went along with this idea, there would be no need for a console war thread at all. It would be full of sycophants ass-kissing each respective console. The whole premise of the console war thread, which I was admittedly reluctant to allow in the early days, is so everyone on Neo can put forth their opinion. Not just people from the 360 forum. This raises another point. What if someone owns both consoles? Does that mean they can post in both console war threads or neither?

You are basically controlling how and what people post by saying if we bash the PS3 in the 360 forum, no PS3 fans are allowed to post an argument or they get banned. That is such a ridiculous concept it doesn't even warrant considering. The forums are here for everyone. From 360 owners, to PS3 owners to people who don't own either. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and to post it if it complies with Neo rules.

I get tired of the console bashing myself at times but this suggestion is out of the question. Sorry if it sound like I'm over-reacting, maybe I am, but this isn't going to happen even if I was on your side. People will continue to post their opinions. How would new people to the site know about this new rule? They would come in here to happily discuss the consoles and be told "well, if you want to praise the 360, you can do it here or in the PS3 forum, but if you want to bash it, you can only do it here. If you see something you don't like though, remember you can't reply to it because we said so" etc. It's crazy...

re: The Console War Treaty...

Hehe, sure when you put it like that. I'm just against fanboys in general, so I signed up.

Also, there's a "console war" thread? If I'd have known there was a thread specifically for console bashing, putting my name on this list would have seemed like less of a good idea.

re: The Console War Treaty...

"specifically for console bashing" isnt a good way to put it, uzamaki, console feature debates are more like what they are supposed to be, but in the end they all just turn into Flame Wars by unreasonable fanboys whos only logic for saying their console is the best is "because Sony/Nintendo/Microsoft said so" and that is why such threads are locked in the wii forum, as that is where fanboys thrive. I have watched as Wii has been flamed by Sereph, Finalblade, and Weskraudan, lately not so much for the two Latter, but the former is the worst. People like that should have a nice little tag above their account name that says "Perma Ban".

While we're at it, can we call for peace in the middle east between the Hebrews and Arabs?



No?

re: The Console War Treaty...

Steel, I don't think that he was trying to be theatening. I don't agree with everything he said, but I like the fact that he was brave enough to suggest what he did in the forums, even though there is nothing that could stop the rabid fanboyism. So while his ideas may be naive and unrealistic, I agree with him at least in spirit anyway. Not that you or any other Moderator should start disallowing fanboys or console debates, only that there is something noble about what he is suggesting.

quote Existenz
Without this said Console War we get shit products... So i will fight to the death if it means when the PS4 or Xbox Next comes out they are even better than their predecessor.
LMAO Interesting way to look at it Nikki darling. However, you make the assumption that we have to get involved in the console war, in the form of fanboy arguments, for the console war to produce better products. We don't. The only people who NEED to be involved in the so called war are those who work for SONY, MS or Nintendo. Hahaha the rest of us only need to pick which products we want to buy, and the competition will take care of itself.

re: The Console War Treaty...

You know i must admit, Though i haven't been the most of a good opinionated person but you know what i agree with this so why don't you sign me up. Though like Wesk said and others b4 it might not help but hey, you gotta take risks in life. I know what Sonic Flash said in the Wii forums being if you abide by the rules in neo this should be included but i wouldn't mine this at all.

re: The Console War Treaty...

Chiro I know what you mean and I can see the logic in the principle of it. But it's never going to work either via the method he suggested or any other method. That's why I am so against it. It's not that I am against the idea of stopping fanboy rants etc. it's just that I am against the idea of wasting my time on things which will never happen.

re: The Console War Treaty...

If you actually think about it there isn't a console war at all, its only the the fanboys who takes it to new levels every day and time. For instance Nintendo could care less what Sony and MS is doing. Yet fanboys say, omg We are kicking the crap out of PS3 and 360, we rule. See its really the fanboys who makes the war, and turn into a flame war. Sony and MS are in competition with each other but not like how the fanboys make it out to be. However there is nothing wrong regular fanboys its only the people who want to flame.

But I think what Existenz means is we benefit from the so called console war, so she will back it up if it means the continuation of next gen consoles.

re: The Console War Treaty...

I think Sereph means if were going to stop console flame wars then we could stop the Hebrews and Arabs from fighting.

But since we can't do anything on that, we can't do anything on this.
