As of right now, I'm serving a 6 day ban from commenting because I called out a "troll". That comment was then marked as inappropriate. From here I proceeded to call out the admin who was controlling the situation (rightfully or wrongfully) as they continue time and time again to allow these individuals to plague the comments of posts that they so clearly have no motive other than to stir flame.
I've been a member of N4G since 2007 where as a community, we operated on the bubble system. I missed it when it was first replaced and I miss it even more so now as it feels that the comments section are an open field for those intent on spreading negativity with little to no repercussions.
If I was to ask you who the biggest trolls are on N4G, without a doubt, we could all name at least 4 of the same names. So my question is this, why are the admins not getting ahead of this and sorting the problem? They've allowed a playground of on topic hate, but won't allow the rest of the community to call them out.
Am i being dramatic? Perhaps. I just like a clean comment section where people are actively constructive in both their negative and positive inputs. Instead, we get repeat offenders bashing their keybards without any real substance purely because they don't like a particular company or game.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Unfortunately I may not be able to respond for 6 more days.

The game goes live, the servers go down, a story as old as time.
XBA says: Cinematic immersion that sets the bar for what 'next-gen' really means.

What happened there?
Troll comments are going to happen, and mods are likely to miss them here and there. The answer is to not give them traction.
If you are calling for someone to be silenced because you dont like what they say... that is censorship. People dont always agree but they should still be allowed to speak their mind. Just dont feed the trolls.
"They've allowed a playground of on topic hate, but won't allow the rest of the community to call them out.."
If it's on topic, and you still want to call them out, then the problem becomes an article of just people raging on that person who doesn't have a popular opinion. Exactly how does that help anything? Sounds to me like you don't want to read comments you personally don't like.
"...purely because they don't like a particular company or game"
Yes, and they have the right to. You can do two things, challenge them with a counter argument on topic, or just know that no matter what, they'll hate that company and game and you'll just have to move on.
What I find funny the most is how people single out specific people they don't like but ignore others who do the same thing, but let it go because it's against a console or game they favor.
