I cannot agree more, Im sick of those ego-tistical assholes that are so self-absorbed with their own opinion, they try their hardest to prove someone with an opposing view wrong.II2 said:

I guess. I myself don't mind that much speculation as long as people back up their opinions on why such and such cant such and such unless such and such etc etcAylaine said:

See, I don't even know what summer e games event is nor what these medals are he speaks of, but I am tempted to go to that thread and break said rule to not have to worry about it.
One, perhaps more minor reason is because the replies you get will more than likely consist of "choice A" or "choice B" sometimes with a small jokey statement to acompany the choice.
The second, more major reason, to me at least, is that they could easily devolve into flame wars. For example, someone makes a VS thread entitled "PS3 vs Xbox 360: Which is better?" and you can easily see how that is an opening for a flame war. It will lead to die hard fanboys of either console attacking the die hard fanboys of the other with (more likely than not) homophobic insults and racial attacks. To avoid that, we tend to avoid VS threads altogether here.

But.. I'm right.. And.. You're wrong.. and.. Shutup! Mommy, the mean internet people say I'm wrong!Haseo21 said:
The hate on verse threads is caused by the hate IN verse threads. I think they can be fine at times provided people are rational, but lets face it, if you start a PC vs Consoles thread you're going to be attracting a LOT of fanboys, and some of us just plainly don't wanna see people irrationally claim a right to ignorance and aggression.DaggerOfCompassion said:

As I have said in this thread, if there was a "hide thread" option, and they just enforced a no-flaming rule (as they do) it wouldn't matter. I mean, hiding the thread is one extra click, but it's only one extra click.RAKtheUndead said:

, I aint gonna lie though, I was once like that, but I realized pride comes from letting things go.Sounds thrilling.DaggerOfCompassion said:
You mean like those other things I have turned off so I don't have to look at them? Kind of like how I refuse to make an avatar and have them turned off, too?
That punishment sounds like something I would want.

I asked that question straight to one of the staff when the legacy battles were going on. I'll let you know when they answer. Don't hold your breath. I have only been waiting months for an answer.Judas Iscariot said:
I do expect the answer to be along the lines of "do as we say not as we do".
It tends to lead to a flame war between the seperate fans.
For example: Xbox vs PS3. Obviously the two sides are going to be at a disagreement.

As everyone else said, they are gigantic arguments that involve fanboys ranting. Personally, I don't really mind them. I should probably try to avoid them though... I always forget the golden rule of arguments... And I can see why they are against the rules here...
