[Squalor]

I keep telling you guys that he got banned for liking Alien 3.

Alien 4 is the legit terrible one.

The garbage is too hot to parse. They're both utterly terrible.

 

[Curufinwe]

The Flames got Mark Giordano, just what the hell? OP deserves a ban for not only being off-topic but just straight up being hella wrong.

But they are also paying Engelland $2.9 million a year.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

It appears he was banned on the assumption he not only works in PR but on behalf of Microsoft.

What are you basing this sentence on and why would you think it was exclusively for this sole reason?

 

[L Thammy]

I can't tell whether Samuel L. Jackson is doing weird shit on the side to source these .gifs or if they're just shopped anymore.

Apparently the producers behind Snakes of a Plane were considering making the movie less stupid, until Samuel L. Jackson threatened to walk out. So I think the former is entirely in character

dabest

NeoGIF forever, yo

 

[Trojita]

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.

You guys should buy my the game The Corgi Corg: Adventures of a Sex Master Corgie.

Glasses and english accent are Preorder-DLC

I wasn't being completely serious.

People involved with advertising on the other hand...

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

I hate the Calvin peeing thing...as does Bill Watterson.

 

[K.Sabot]

Woah woah what's this about the flames being garbage.

 

[zroid]

oh my god the title

 

[Maintenance]

NeoGIF forever, yo

NeoJIF, you mean.

 

[Kade]

I hate the Calvin peeing thing...as does Bill Watterson.

Same.

 

[SRG01]

Would've been funnier if it was the Edmonton Oilers...

Spoiler

I'm from Edmonton

And yeah, I have no issues banning astroturfers. They're everywhere on the internet, especially political message boards.

 

[Cragvis]

Bish takes out the trash while ElTorro delivers us another delicious .gif morsel.

And it's only wednesday!

 

[A-V-B]

NeoJIF, you mean.

Oh snap, it's ON!

 

[Bornstellar]

That's probably not the reason for the banning.

Thread was closed without a ban at first I thought.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Alien 3 sucks.

 

[Space Medafighter X]

8/10
Would read while shitting again.

I literally laughed out loud cause I was doing the same thing.

 

[Neiteio]

What are you basing this sentence on and why would you think it was exclusively for this sole reason?

I say this based on the fact that the evidence put forth for his ban was the fact his email appeared to be PR-related. Are you suggesting everyone in PR has Microsoft as a client? That's the sort of Crucible-like hysteria I'm warning against. I fully respect Bish, and I've been talking with him about this on the back-channel, where he's been very polite and accommodating. I just think this particular decision might've been a tad hasty, and it's all because we have so little to work on.

 

[Kade]

Hey bish I sent you a PM that you should respond to, thanks in advance.


Bye.

 

[opticalmace]

Thread was closed without a ban at first I thought.

Indeed it was.

 

[Squalor]

Alien 3 sucks.

 

[Shalashaska]

So you really don't know anything about hockey.

Missing the playoffs and being dead last or near dead last for 8 years in a row is good now?

 

[Ray Wonder]

Thread was closed without a ban at first I thought.

I think it was at the same time, unless it was only for a few seconds and I missed it.

EDIT: Apparently I missed it.

 

[Horp]

You should start a youtube channel or something. Or a gif blog. I would pay good money to see this kind of stuff from you more. Always top notch, spot on, and so fast.

 

[Vlade]

Oh snap, it's ON!

GIF is short for giraffe

 

[adelante]

...Wow, I never thought I would see someone take issue with mods not wanting astroturfers on this forum.

Read again. His concern lies in mods having itchy trigger fingers that lead to overzealous posters receiving permanent bans meant for astroturfers,

 

[Hockeymac18]

astroturfing is absolutely real

It is, but I'm not sure if that is what this was. I see no evidence that he was being paid by anyone to write what he wrote.

Then again, this tantrum was pretty ridiculous. Probably would have been banned regardless.

 

[BeforeU]

Gifs here are too good.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I say this based on the fact that the evidence put forth for his ban was the fact his email appeared to be PR-related. Are you suggesting everyone in PR has Microsoft as a client?

I don't believe that the only reason for his banning was being related to PR. Has bish stated as such? I can see why he would have gotten banned or juniored based on the behavior.

 

[SgtCobra]

We'll tell you when you're 14.

That OP though.

 

[Jabba]

Man, that Wolfenstein gif is fucking priceless ElTorro

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Are you suggesting everyone in PR has Microsoft as a client?

Yes, he is clearly saying that everyone in PR has Microsoft as a client. It's so obvious.

 

[Squalor]

GIF is short for giraffe

Here's a JIF of a GIF:

 

[Robot Pants]

Is this the thread that was formerly "I shouldn't have registered with my PR account?" I can't keep up.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

To be an honest, I didn't think he was a shill, just a bit of an arsehole. Nothing wrong with that (I'm one too)

But there has definitely been a couple shills creeping through recently. They have learnt just to make hit and run posts and are barely noticed.

 

[Vlade]

Careful with the backseat modding guys, they really REALLY hate that.

Do you speak for them?

Spoiler

humor

Welcome to NeoGAF
NeoGAF is a nexus of hardcore gamers, enthusiast press, and video game industry developers and publishers. This is a neutral ground where facts and evidence, presented within the confines of civil, inclusive discourse, prevail through careful moderation.

That's the welcome mat you find when you come to NeoGaf. It's anything but though, and OP had the balls to say it. A lot of members are saying "he's right, I feel the same but I wouldn't have been the one to say so" for fear of banning. Myself included.

I love my Xbox but I don't get into heavy discussion about it though because of what it turns into, and because I like Xbox I'd never win. I'd be a fanboy, despite owning all consoles except PS4 which I'm open to buying given a good reason.

This forum has become too tense and high strung.

 

[HueyFreeman]

Ummm... that's the Montreal Canadiens logo.

 

[Lynn616]

What are you basing this sentence on and why would you think it was exclusively for this sole reason?

The title change. Bish quoting the PR statement. He clearly was originally banned for that reason. He may remain banned for other reasons.

 

[A-V-B]

Is this the thread that was formerly "I shouldn't have registered with my PR account?" I can't keep up.

bish is secretly a sega shill cause he gotta go fast

 

[outsida]

Read again. His concern lies in mods having itchy trigger fingers that lead to overzealous posters receiving permanent bans meant for astroturfers,

Not only that but doing so can also lead to a certain framing of the conversation on this forum.

 

[Hari Seldon]

I knew I was in for a treat when I saw the Calgary Flames mentioned on the front page of the gaming side lol.

 

[Neil_J_UK]

 

[JeffG]

Missing the playoffs and being dead last or near dead last for 8 years in a row is good now?

Today...You are a new owner and get either roster. Which roster would you pick?

 

[Loxley]

 

[shaowebb]

Dat thread title change. Quick someone put Bishoptl's face on this one!

 

[Acosta]

You are a god.

 

[TalonJH]

....If ...if this is true and it was a PR guy...I don't know. It just can't be true. Crazy! I mean, damn.

[Backs away and thinks about it]

Okay, sure XB1 gets a lot of hate that I don't agree with but they don't need to have PR people trying to push their product. Both XB1 and PS4 are awesome and any sales disparity between them isn't because Gaf or any other forum. Why would a PR team go that far? I'm sure that MS probably didn't have anything to do with it other than hiring a shitty PR company that does anything for results.

Eh... I've always thought Microsoft has the weakest first-party lineup of the big three, and this didn't really change that. Scalebound looks like it could be cool, but that's a third party exclusive, not first party. Same with Sunset Overdrive.

The Phantom Dust remake will certainly be interesting, but a lot of the other stuff looks like it could be hit or miss. Certainly not sold on Fable Legends, and am going to wait and see on Project Spark as well. I've already given up hope on Rare, and don't expect all that much from 343 after Halo 4, so I'm still waiting on Microsoft to impress me. Sony and Nintendo have shown that they've got first party devs who can make peerless games. I'm still waiting on Microsoft to do the same thing.

And just to note, I say this as someone who still has their OG XBox plugged into the telly, and enjoys taking old Xbox games out for a spin.

Yeah, this actually redeems the guy for me. Probably just a guy that has a opinion thats venting.

He's the only member with something to say.
