Since we’ve had some issues recently, we’re going to lay out our rules perfectly clearly for commenting. We want to hear from you, and want to let you say what. But there are a couple places we have to draw the line. So here’s the rules you have to abide by:
- Do not use all caps. Comments will all caps may be deleted, depending on how we feel at that time.
- Do not use any racist statements. These comments will be deleted immediately and may possibly result in a ban from commenting.
- Do not act like a 3rd grader and just try to cause trouble. You know what this means. If you have to ask, maybe you shouldn’t be writing it.
That’s it. We don’t care if you curse (try not to be excessive, some youngins do read the site), we don’t care if you disagree with our opinions. Just be somewhat civil and everyone will be happy.
Thanks everyone!

If you are reading this, we are contacting Gamepro and fwd everyone of your comments along with your email and IP address to them. Why do I have the feeling that they never heard from you. Either way, thanks for making us waste 20 minutes. I missed the final round of Wheel of Fortune and that makes us sworn enemies.
wth Scuba……….. forget it I guess it’s an inside thing but you know what I think about these rules well here it “eh” thats right I said it “eh” I give them a “eh”
Who be Ghostlymatt?
@ chris:
He was a visitor who for no reason started this racist, immature tirade against other people via commenting. After asking him cool it, he stepped it up, only to receive an IP ban from commenting. He claims he works for Gamepro and was seeing how far he could take it before we were forced to ban him and thus proving us hypocrites and that our site sucks.
Who knows. Like I/we have nothing better to do than this back/forth episode. That’s it in a nutshell. You can check the recent comment list for a taste. I mean, we get 300k hits a month at least and very few idiots. He will not be receiving a prize.
I got his first all caps post while on my blackberry, i didn’t feel like posting while useing it so im like ‘when ii get home i’m going to complain about him’. N’ then outta nowhere he goes crazed and I’m gettin messages back and forth between him and the admins/ He’d be all serious and then theyd be, ‘IP Bans, fun’ or sometin like that, It was hilarious in a ‘people shouldn’t act like that kin of way’ no but really i hope he doesnt come back somehow…
Ah, so that was what sparked the new Rules for Commenting?
I honestly think those rules should be ‘unspoken rules’ that people should abide by anyway.
The rules are not really now, just a little bit of an explanation. If you look at some of the reputable sites that have been around, they are a little more stringent than us. We are user friendly and not gonna let someone intentionally drive away readers on the sole fact of racism and profanity.
I/we like to disagree with people, but in a manner befitting adults and just a hint of maturity.
Thanks for understanding.
@nostars - well put. We figured it was sort of common knowledge and courtesy that people wouldn’t resort to such stupidity, but I guess we had to put it in writing
Yeah, you have to put everything in writing these days. Like on the dessicant packs that come in your new shoes and such…. They say DO NOT EAT. and you know what that means… just like everything else, if it’s in writing to not do something, then some idiot has done it….
Personally I think that those warnings should be left off…. thin out the gene pool a bit… but hey, that’s just me…
Oh don’t you worry, there’s gonna be some dummies out there that just blatantly disregard the rules, whether they’re written or not
@ anidor- LOL Darwinism at its best!

Sweet, I actually know what darwinism is! School being applied in real life ftw!
LOL, I thought you knew what darwinism is because of the annual Darwin awards.
