[quote name='CheapyD']There is nothing about these threads that facilitates piracy nor violates either Microsoft's or Sony's Terms of Service.
I find it a bit laughable that a few people are complaining about this infraction system as not being objective or giving the mods too much power. Previously, users would just log into their account and find themselves banned...at least now you get very clear (and recorded) warnings and have to be completely oblivious to find yourself in that situation.
Maybe it would be fair to wait more than day or two before passing judgment on this system. After all, its got to be an improvement over no system at all.
It is a work in progress and an ounce of patience (and perhaps less negativity) would be appreciated.[/QUOTE]
[quote name='CheapyD']Sorry about that...there was a bug in the system. I just made the file changes and it is now working properly.
Correct.
Please do me a favor and refrain from posting here just for the sake of busting my balls. It's really getting on my nerves.[/QUOTE]

Think that about covers it.
) for the Nintendo area and I haven't seen much going on recently. I'd say it is much more calm than it used to be. I try to check the threads there at least once a day or so. I can tell you one thing - no posts have been reported from there recently, so it must not be too bad.
about your opinion.
