Possible he was just trying to screw with people, and didn't realize the consequences. We'll never know, and it doesn't really matter either way. People get banned for doing stupid shit all the time, that's just how things are.

No, but publicity companies that MS hired, outsourced to people who have done astroturfing.
I found security footage of what happened.
Someone should add a new end with Bish face appearing and a text at the bottom that says "BANNED!"
I still want to know! XD
MS employees might not, but isn't the issue more that companies employ other agencies to do it?

Haha, ok I lolled (quietly, the wife is trying to sleep).
Nah we all knew he was a MS employee. His shilling was obvious and he never hid it.

not to mention what happened last year at this very forum
Be fair.
You'll never find better proof that somebody works for Game in the UK than that person not knowing ANYTHING at all about games.
Lol, nice response.

Yeah, I can't speak to what shady pr firms do, whether that's for ms or other firms. It's something I know nothing about. I was just responding to the "ms employee?" post.
Tbh in this day & age/climate I'd be amazed if any gaming company was stupid enough to allow a pr firm to astroturf. Stakes are too high if caught. Especially on gaf where you have to register with your work email address so it's kind of obvious.
Technically you only have to register with a non-free e-mail. So you could easily just use the e-mail your ISP gives you.
holy crap. That's some crazy stuff.

I assume you realise that MS have been at the forefront of astroturfing. They've been doing it for years, against all of their competitors, from browsers to search engines to games.
This thread continues to deliver.

Please notice it's not pulling any information from any NeoGAF database for these bans.
It's just something people manually update as third parties.

Start from page 24. Between Him, Aqua, the price drop, and the NPD, this has been one of the most entertaining months on GAF in a long time.
Haha, bravo!
