This is getting a bit out of hand. We can't have a single thread now without one of the usual suspects hijacking the thread. It really sucks that we can't have a civil discussion about ANYTHING without a troll popping his head in.

Discussion about Android getting flash. Apple wasn't even mentioned until a fanboi came in.

Simple question about the best place to sell a phone gets hijacked and turned into another flamewar.
Yes it is usually the same person but this is more about the fact that we can't have a civil discussion without the thread getting hijacked. I don't go into the All Things Apple forum because I don't personally like Apple products. Is it right for the Apple fanbois to come into GG&P just to threadcrap?
I'll make more of an effort to watch the threads. Please report any posts that seem out of line.
I moderated Maximilian's post and gave him an infraction.
I'll call in another moderator. I'm participating in these threads.
awwe....PM, I wasn't criticizing you. I wanted to get an open discussion about what is and isn't allowed in GG&P. I know some forums here openly condone thread crapping, is GG&P one of them? Or are people who do that free game for the same thing that happens to them in the other forums?
I didn't take it as negative criticism - it seemed like good feedback to me.
I want to do a good job as moderator, and I thought that I was doing a good job. I clean up spam quickly, I respond to users requests fairly quickly (like dguy6789's request for a sticky), and I am gnerally good at housekeeping tasks in the group. But I generally don't moderate posts unless they contain blatant personal attacks.
Maybe I have gone too much the other way... I'll think about it some more and I'll talk to the other moderators.

FYI there is a user ignore feature.

Just because you might ignore the user it has no effect on those who refuse to post because of whats going on........

To be fair, some of you are just as bad about being anti-Apple. Look at any thread where someone criticizes something about Android or non-Apple and several people immediately jump to calling them Apple fanboys and generally doing exactly what you're getting angry about.
