Like I've said before, this is an open forum and anyone should be allowed to participate whether they post something negative about a product or positive - what does it really matter? The only people that seem to take "offense" to this are those that own a PS3 or are more then likely a "fanboy". Where in the forum rules does it state that one must participate on every section of the forum or be banned? Does it also say that one can not post their views on a company?
I don't get why you guys hate on nobrainer so much. Some people need to open their eyes and realize that some companies are crooked and don't care about the customer. That's just the nature of business. People love money and will do anything to keep making money. Sony is such a large company now, do you really think they care if they piss a few people off with their products - no, because most people are mis - informed about things such as DRM and other tidbits.
Some of you guys are starting to sound like communist dictators, you don't like what you see so you try and shut it down. How bout you just stop replying to the guys posts if you don't like them.
My two cents...

You are right in many points and I do agree. But the situation is not that someone can't post their views of "Company X", it is that there have been MANY documented posts of which that have been proven to be false and that is what people here on aD have done BESIDES myself are doing....which is make sure the misinformation doesn't confuse the people that come here to aD. For someone who has posted that Sony has "teams of paid posters spamming forums" it sure sounds a bit funny that all he does is the same but reversed....

I have one of two choices to make here....Either uphold these:
http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/346250
http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/347514
http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/346253
This one from the man ~ http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/380660
or throw them out the window and let the free for all ensue. I would really like to enforce the rules laid out without anyone calling foul, but TBH I think you (nobrainer) deserve anything and everything you have coming to you. I've tried to work with you about this and you still insist on posting the way you do and where you do. Reporting a moderator is really petty too, do you really think that another mod can ban another mod? Do you think that the admin of the site really has the time to go through the offensive posts to see if the mods are being reported? What kind of reception do you expect when you come into a pro-sony thread and start thrashing them?
So no, I'm not going to allow a free for all...sorry fellas. But I'm adapting this to fit the news discussion...

So, violation against the normal written rules are still handled as usual, but as a special case, attitude problems in console forums will also get you banned. This is a limited time test, basically with instructions to shoot first, ask questions later (if ever), aiming to bring the console forums back to the quality they used to be, when they were a fun and friendly place to visit.
...anywhere it says "console forum", please replace with "news discussion". I urge anyone that posts in the news discussions not to be the first victim. Also the three other stickies go for the news discussion as well. Fanboy flame starters will be considered instant casualties....shoot first and ask questions later.
This isn't up for debate!

Seems like the factions are sharpening their knives..
This should be fun ;)
BTW.. launching the ps2 in 2 large and poor countries.. it's called flogging a dead horse. All they are getting out of it is more mileage for the $ony trolls.
This thread is a bloody disgrace. there is a very bad smell in here.. it's called commercial bias (probably for gain) and abuse of power.

It seems like people are upset that Sony is working on the PS2 when the PS3/PSP are out. Do note that this is in India and Russia. I'm pretty sure that the PS3 hasn't reached India, I just talked to my relative from India and he said that LCDs are just getting common but are still a handful of money. This is Sony's main system in those countries, let them do whatever they want, we don't need to bitch about it here in the US (for all that are from the US)

Your friend in nam is not lying. She has a modded PS2, and the modder was generous enough to relabel the PS2 to PS3.
Then the pirate selling games relabeled Assassins Creed 1 and called it Assassins Creed 2. This is called marketing.
Your friend is honest and thinks she plays AC2 on a PS3. In reality she is playing AC1 on a PS2.

Hi ;)
It was only a couple of years ago sony released the ps1 in Ghana.
I hope they aren't expecting massive game sales in these two hotbeds of game piracy, or is it just an excuse to get these governments into the "piracy is killing technology" BS and force anti fair use laws across the world. Lots of the larger cracking groups are based in India and Russia, or that is where their FTP servers are hosted.
I'm watching.

Is he annoying, or are you just annoyed by his presence.
usually when you find someone annoying you ignore them and they leave.

Don't make me laugh,Middle class people are barely in safe waters anymore, as for poor people there gonna be homeless in the next few years. America's economy is sh*t Police are getting laid of left and right. Firefighter cant keep up, with demands because of diesel prices and there already low budget thats about to get cut again. Trucker's can't do there job effectively any more. hell even laboring jobs are laying off people like no tomorrow.
the U.S from where i stand is in for a world of hurt.
=====================================================================
I love this site, it has good information. there are a lot of cool guys here. but as for No brainer's Case, its not like he ever did anything to hurt anybody, sure his information was outdated and sometimes twisted to his liking. but you guys knew this, and its not like he Shoved bad info down your throat.
And sometimes his info on other thing was not half bad.
im not trying to tell the Mods Or Staff how to do there job. but i think you did go a bit Over Board on that.
Anywho...

Now as for the topic at hand, I agree these guys might be the number 1 country for piracy. but handing out old technology now doesn't make it anymore right. the way i see it, its a form of Consumer discrimination.

Sadly yes. That's what it boils down to. (with LOCO's monetary amendment of course)
And Varnull's comment about flogging a dead horse is right on. Only, it seems like their flogging the dead horse with a wet herring.

Surely whatever currency is paid in the shops (or not.. most Russians and Indians who want a ps2 have imported one on the cheap years ago) the {imagined} game sales lost to piracy will be crowed about in the good old bog paper $$$
It's probably cheaper to wipe your backside with US $$ these days than buy toilet paper.. any Yanks care to comment on the mishandling of one of the strongest economies in the world by a bunch of greedy and inept meat packing glitterati? The word "junta" isn't strong enough for the state of US politics today.

Watch out.. the vulcanising solvent type glue supplied with the latex/neoprene puncture repair patches will dissolve PVC dolls. You need a water based latex solution or patches specifically made for pvc.. the kind for paddling pools seems good.. see here

If you had you'd have seen my negative feedback.
I ordered the blow up doll and got a rubber chicken with a photocopied picture of LOCO's face.
I'm still upset.
