Technology + Gaming

[kk.]

Ok, these two are the main areas where this happens. People have preferences and some people are persistent that everyone has the same as them or its not worth having. I've had just about enough of the members in these areas saying 'get xbox 360, its better' or 'firefox doesnt crash, get it'. It happens in many threads and should be classed as pointless posting because it contributes nothing to a thread and doesnt help at all. Even if the thread clearly states 'PS3 Buying Advice' or 'IE problem' people still go on about how somethings better. Some examples are below and i think many will agree that its getting past a joke with what some people call fanboys.

Another related problem is that many threads turn into mini arguments about how the ps3 has copied an xbox or vice versa along with the wii. Please do something about this now to stop it

What are they gonna do? Ban someone who is looking for a valid argumentive rant?

It's because none of the fanboys on here can get a grip of competition companies and what it's all about. I guess you could say that they are trying to "spark" an argument - maybe a rule about this? Anything that is deemed antagonising towards others, the user could be warned?
Just a suggestion.

Their reasoning may be valid, but arguments generally lead to threads being closed, many users open threads like "PS3 Trophies" etc, for info on the stuff, and how can they get that info off users if all the fanboys come in and start going "SONY COPIED MICROSOFT" "SONY SUCK!!11" "XBOX 360 IS BETTR!!!11!", and then people that have PS3's are going to start coming in the thread and flaming all the 360 fanboys - online chaos, immaturity.

Don't xbox v ps3 arguments take place everywhere

exactly, so it needs to be stopped =/

Well if you're fed up with it and it's not the first time you've seen them do it you can always add them to your ignore list. Because if they add this rule that means no one can state a opinion on the other console or anything.

Yeah, generally because people can't handle competition consoles, yet the companies can (obviously, otherwise they wouldn't get very far). It's just like the image hosting sites that users have just made, they seem like they can't handle a little bit of competition, which just leads to snidey insults and remarks about each others site.
People need to learn how to ignore the trolls that try and spark arguments, but I guess many users of HabboxForum aren't able to..

Of course they can, but remarks like "Sony copied Microsoft" isn't exactly an opinion is it...it's just a way to start a console vs console argument.

but 360 is better than ps3 and firefox is better than IE :S

People should give more information as to why each is better. It's blatant that "get a 360" is going to cause an uproar because there isn't a reasoning behind it. if someone said "get a 360 as there is a wider range of games" - that would be a better example of an opinion.
