Nah they get laughed out of town there, same as here. There are no Xbox-sponsored mods to protect them.

There was a period where GAF was very much Xbox leaning. I remember being temp banned because I literally reported on what a youtuber with early access to the console said. The reason was that I lied, when I quoted what the guy said and shared the video 😂

At least people are noticing. But Xbox astroturfers are everywhere.
I think that this the same dynamic as in a cult, when people leave it (because let's say the date for the end of the world keeps being delayed)... the remaining members become more and more extreme in their believes and trust of the cult leader.

They certainly are.... if you go into the Sacred Symbols / Last Stand Media Discord, they have PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo areas for discussion..... they have other chats for each show also...

BUT... guess what! The Sacred Symbols / PlayStation chats are constantly trolled by Xbox users, PlayStation exclusives are shit on and called cookie cutter, these guys are subscribing at the highest tier too and so are less likely to get banned. There is a guy there called Johnnywaffles and he just constantly trolls the PS area and never gets reprimanded.

It's fucked.

That's why, of many reasons, you build your own space.

According to Pelta, there are discussions of going back to GAF because the Xbox shilling on ERA is unbearable. GAF isn't much better tho 🤷

GAF is a good place to be. I'm a regular there and u see the Xbox fanboys getting laughed off and banned over there. 2-3 of them just got banned yesterday for their persecution complex.


The only time I got banned was when I posted my Neogaf Xbox Fanboy tier list.

Anyone wanna do a Resetera fanboy tier list? Lol

Adamsapple is still queen there. Ozriel, Darkmage, Riky, Hendricks, Dench, Bumble and countless more should have been permed long ago.

Have to say I disagree re: GAF mods - they’ve been all over the MS alts that have been appearing recently.
I do think certain posters get special treatment. Even though the worst offenders do get banned a lot of other people get permed for far less egregious console warring. That said the remaining xbox shills are so dumb that leaving them unbanned just makes microsoft look bad when they eat crow on their bullshit almost every other day

The rule you broke is that you were hurting their contractual obligations to shill for industry sponsors

Well I know why Deep isn't ever banned. The rest of them... might just have good connections.

Catlady was banned once. She probably deserved more bans but she lays low whenever the heat is on
