Its a mess over there. Sonic and I try our best but there is a sony clan that doesn't like anyone saying negative things about sony and then a smaller ms crowd that doesn't like negative things about ms being said .
Actually, the Console forum is not what someone would call a "fanboi" nest, like others consoles forums around the globe. There's of course people, let's say, slightly touchy about Nintendo, Sony, MS, but nobody is what i would consider an awful poster.
It's true that the posters could be overly opinionated in their statements sometimes, but not enough to warrant drastic measures, like closing the whole forum, in my opinion.
On the other hand, some people, repeatedly keeps on trashing some threads, just because of their unreasoned and unfounded hate for one faceless giant corporation. Thoses are, elegantly, called the haters, and they're the real problem of the forum, if you ask me.
It's also true that some of thoses have been warned by the mods, but the forum lacks any kind of "repression" tool, like
fast temporary bans, or fast definitive bans, therefore thoses posters feel free to post what they want, and by what they want i mean trolls...

I think we need more mods
I second that, and i'll add that the forum needs new moderators from another time zone, since Sonic and jvd are both from the US and both from the east coast.

Console forum has more kids.
The sad part is that's not true... Most of the noise in the forum comes from full grown up adults...
