mamp	21. Posted: Wed 4th Jul 2012 19:32 BST I think I only got into one argument after that I've done what I can to avoid arguments I either don't reply anymore or I just say that I don't want to argue, anyways I'm sorry if I caused any problems here but I'll try to do my best to keep myself (and if I can others) out of trouble. I'm also scared of "the one" coming after me XD Edited on Wed 4th July, 2012 @ 19:33 by mamp

Admin theblackdragon	23. Posted: Wed 4th Jul 2012 19:39 BST @edhe: it depends on the situaion — that kind of thing is very borderline. if you find it questionable, report it, but under most circumstances as long as no one's being directly attacked, we may merely step in to ask people to chill and focus on the topic at hand, not one another.

If someone just randomly posted something about iOS only to get an emotional reaction from another, then yeah, that is off-topic IMO. However, if iOS comparisons are made logically (Ex: comparing an iOS game to a relevant touchscreen game with similar controls) then I suppose it is all well and good just so long as it doesn't blow up into an "I'm right, you're a troll" kind of argument.

If the topic has flowed that way do you just let the discussion carry on or does someone step in sorry, i didn't see this when you posted it, apparently — it depends on the situation. did someone bust into the 3DS Friend Codes thread with a rant about their day at school and how their teacher assigned too much homework, or did that same person decide to share their PSN/XBLA user information as well as their 3DS FC and a few other users joined in to share their other-console info? or in another case, has a topic derailed into yet another tail-chasing argument between rabid fans from both sides of the tangent, or is it a mature discussion between individuals who are honestly listening to each other and countering one another's points like rational human beings? in short, each situation is different, and that particular rule gives us just enough leeway to cover not only users with nothing better to rebut an argument with 'go away troll', but also useless 'first comment' replies, users flooding articles with silly statements for the lulz (it happens, especially now with the live-comment system), people with nothing better to do but advertise other websites or products in our article and forum threads, and other useless BS.. To be honest, until a thread is reported (thus letting me know that someone's having a problem), I'm more likely to let tangents slide as long as they've had something to do with the natural flow of the discussion.
