    Well, the good thing is the solution fixes that problem. When users that can't tell the difference start getting banned from the 2k9/Show forums, the won't be here anymore.

        Stating is 20 times in 5 different threads is trolling. Stating "2k sucks" is bashing. In general, if you are posting because you are angry, your best bet is to step away from the computer for 5 minutes, then come back.
        It is still trolling if you say the same good things about the game in different threads? I have been saying I really love the real time effect a lot. So just curious.

          According to most common definitions, no it isn't.

          An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of provoking other users into an emotional response<SUP> </SUP>or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.
          It's only a video game.

            Honestly, no. Blindly defending a game, maybe.

            The difference between constant negative and constant positive is that the positive doesn't incite arguments. Blindly defending a game can, but complimenting it, I don't see the harm.

                      Heh, I know. I was just joking. Being a former member there, it's run by a bunch of kids....and it shows.

                        He's trying to fix it.

                        That would sort be like helping a guy quit drinking, he can't drink around you, but he can still drink in the bathroom. Bad idea.

                            Wow, gone all day and this thread appears.

                            Sort of expected (but obviously should not be tolerated), especially this time of year.

                            Spring Training is upon us, Play Ball...



                            Thanks for the post.

                                You are allowed to talk about the game as long as you aren't being a jerk.

                                Attacking the game without a way to be constructive is counterproductive. Attacking posters who enjoy the game just because they enjoy it is also counterproductive.

                                If you enjoy Pasta's site (a site we often link to and have a good relationship with) than I urge you to stay there if you can't behave here.
