OK, so I realize that POG may have already posted on the subject in his VERY long post earlier, but I didn't finish it so I'm not sure. I haven't been on this site as long as some of you "veterans", but I've been on long enough to realize that this crap is a little out of control. I will start by saying I prefer my PS3 over my 360. OK? Call it what you want, but that is where I stand. Something happened when i got on today, I was posting last night(way too late) and I saw a person kind of talking stuff, I think it was about Killzone or something. He wasn't being malicious and it was obvious he was joking, he was kind of doing a Stephen Colbert thing where what he was saying was so the opposite of what was true that it had to be a joke. So, I leave him a comment doing the "lol" thing that we do now days, and then probably went to sleep. I woke up this morning and did my get-on-N4G-to-see-whats-up-cuz-I'm-bored thing and I had a PM from this guy basically saying, "WTF, how the hell are people going to report me for that?", not the exact words but you get the idea. Now I fully understand that that stuff is for the Open Zone and all, but it made me realize people are really taking this console war seriously.
Now, I love the console war. It's really fun to see how each side reacts to the other, but It's all in fun with me, some of you guy really get pissed off when people don't agree with you. You guys need to get off your [freaking] high horses, and realize that this is a gaming community we have here, not a warring one. Lets try to keep this stuff on the more intelligent side of the spectrum. There are way too many flaming(and I don't mean gay... but if you are no biggy) fanboys running around. For example, what the hell are people doing in the comments of a Gears of War 2 article saying the Killzone looks better? Who in those comment would really care? Really? Come on guys. Comparing games is all good but blatancy saying, "Gears look like poop compared to Killzone!", that doesn't further the discussion about the game, it starts one about Killzone and gears. So give it a rest. Smile! : ) See if my keyboard can do it so can you.
And to the moderators(mods), you guys need to moderate. I know there is a lot of stuff flowing threw N4G on a given day, but even the hug stories with enormous threads loss control and go off on a tangent. Even if you only looked at the bigger threads or bigger stories it its like a furnace in there. Now, I realize(lol I'm doing a lot of realizing) you guys might have a self governing this going on here, and we as readers and contributors need to do a better job reporting flam bait and others, but we're not mods, you are. I'm not trying to say that we need to be censored and all that but we all know flame beat when we see it.
So, basically clam the [heck] down. Support the heck out of your favorite console, I got nothing against fanboys, just keep it intelligent. Realize that we're all gamers, and at the end of the day we all enjoy doing to same thing, gaming.
But this IS the internet, so...

^ THIS after Ubisoft’s fluff pieces about how great they are doing after Assassins, Attack on Titan and laying offs. The hype fell the floor apparently.
I think the mods are doing a great job, but they have to moderate both the front page and the forums. I'm sure it's not easy having to moderate all the stories and make sure no one is acting out of line in the forums at the same time. There's only a handful of mods and it's understandable that they are not online (Your world can't revolve around N4G). I think what the Admins need to do is collaborate with some of the mods and elect some more mods in order to beef up the anti-fanboy comments that are being made in both the stories and the forums.
Yea I agree Clam down Guys clam down.
Can I just say....
Going purely from the title alone, that people who hear fanboys need to calm down.
Everyone gets up in arms when someone has a slight bias towards a console. It's like its like you aren't allowed to have an opinion anymore.
People who bash fanboys should just shut the hell up. Becuase everyoen ahs their biases, sooner they recognise that, the better.
that i saw somebody with the same username as the author of this blog on PSn today while I was playing GTA4 in multiplayer.
i looked at your PSn ID and i noticed it wasn't the same. What is remember the 357?
It was his impersonator. Anyway, mods don't do their job very well...
