That's not how it works. We have many PR people on the forum who were kind enough to let us know what they do for a living - even if they didn't use a work email address to register.

lol. Yeah I think I am missing something too. From the thread being locked, op getting banned, thread being re-opened and title being changed, my head is spinning. Something seems very odd about all of this however, from what I have gathered.

But from the OP and original title, he's straight up telling the consumers that we're all a bunch of morons and it's time to be "re-educated." Not only does that come off as confrontational as you can get, but it also paints a picture of the poster being a total zealot and having fingers in their ears and go la la la la la. It only makes the case of the post astroturfing even more believable.

So in that post he explains exactly what they do which is they are given data and their software cuts it apart. He never said they manage any of that. They do it for all sorts of companies.

I agree that he may need a tempban b/c of how aggressive his post was (even though many points are valid), but the lasting damage is in thread title.

This is just sad. Not the banning, that I understand. Looks like OP lost his shit writing all this down but the thread title and people accusing the guy and Microsoft itself with no link what so ever.

Someone please change the title for god sake.

That's like getting out of jail and immediately going to rob a bank. Couldn't handle the outside!

Yeah, that's really not a fair policy to have. Ruins it for the honest people.

Fake Edit: Also, that gif of bish giving those attendees the Rough Ryder is still hilarious to me

I was about to gut the bear for the mistake. It is safe for now.

Lets be real here. His occupation isn't entirely relevant. Titus's OP was a fanboyish meltdown that honestly warranted at the absolute least a demotion to Junior.

My respect for Microsoft is even less than it was yesterday. I didn't think that was even possible.

Microsoft is never going to be the victim in situations like this, for good reason. OP probably wasn't a astroturfer, but Microsoft flooded the internet with fake people saying dumb shit last year, full force.

Was the individual banned on the basis of a PR company-type email address or was it the content of the thread as the company at hand does seem more inclined towards selling their software services as oppose to PR firm?

Just trying to get an understanding for future references.

Aside from the (unproven?) fact that he was PR or is somehow related to PR, he made some good points. A lot of babies on this forum that take shit too personal. Shit that doesn't even affect them directly. For example go find the MS takes a jab at Sony gif thread. I couldn't believe what I was reading in there, sweet baby jesus.

All I'm saying is, this a hobby that we share. Let the corporations worry about profits and fight each other tooth and nail, they actually get paid for that, by us.
