sunshine, you have to understand that it's a privilege for you to be able to post here. i couldn't care less about your opinion, none of the staff here do, our job is to get rid of people who are being unpleasant. post what you want in a civilised format and we'll all be happy.
i'm not going to ban you unless you decide to troll somewhere else again. one warning is sufficient.

Wake up and smell the coffee. It wouldn't matter if everyone agreed or not.

Your comments stand or fall on their own merits.

Rude is rude. Venom is venom.

You don't have to like something to comment on it.
But if negative, there had better be civility and substance.

Take your hate somewhere else.

and in regards to your previous warning - look at what you're doing in this comment! look carefully, squint your eyes. you're not only bashing the game but you're clearly bashing all the people who like it. it's arguable that that's WORSE than just bashing one user.

quote

what you posted in is no shape or form a 'review'. not the sort of review we're looking for at this website anyway. whoever said it was 'beating of a dead horse' probably did get warned/banned for that comment if that article was scanned by a mod. i would've definitely warned for that. besides - you also have to take into account that this guitar hero article is NEWS, not a review. we're not asking for you to give your opinion on the game here. do that in actual reviews of the game.

i also think you need to remember what you said, rather than warping it about.

"thank God someone speaks the truth. Screw guitar hero, Guitar Hero 10 will come out, and you people will still waste your money, 50-60 bucks a game. Real guitar heros play real guitar"

can you not see the difference between this and the typical legitimate criticism on that article saying 'meh at this set list'?

quote

what you said wasn't just a negative comment or criticism - it was hardly criticism at all, it was just meaningless bashing to get a quick fight. people criticised the set list in the article that it didn't have their favourite song on it. that's perfectly in order. same goes for when someone criticises zakk wylde for having a not so good album this time. you were just provoking, probably out of boredom.
you still have a problem with my judgement? take it up to another mod, i guarantee you they'll say the same thing, and if that's STILL not good enough for you - well - tough shit. you know where the 'X' button is. you should be glad it's only a warning anyway. if i was being as harsh as you portray me, i'd have given you a straight ban.

quote

you KNEW that the people who are commenting this article are fans of the game and it's blatantly clear that your comment was targeted at people who enjoy the game to miserably attempt to talk them out of getting it. what good do you think will come out of it? you think the fans of the game will agree with you? no. they're going to be pissed off at you.
even your little "Real guitar heros play real guitar" comment is totally unnecessary, especially considering the fact that this is a guitar website and 99% of the people here do play the real thing alongside the videogame. IT'S JUST A GAME AFTER ALL.

quote

listen kiddo. nobody cares if you think a videogame is a waste of money, and nobody is going to be convinced by you that it's a waste of money because they enjoy it, and you don't. that's something you seriously have to get in your head. if people are having fun from the videogame, it's obviously not a waste of money. and besides - it's THEIR money. it's not like your tax payments are going to fund guitar hero systems for people in the supreme court. and what are you trying to do? put the makers of the game out of business?

quote

your example of 'death magnetic' is pretty redundant. if a fan of the band, or even an average music fan listens to the album and doesn't like it they're more than welcome to rate it low. but if someone who hates metal music goes straight to the article about death magnetic (without even listening to it) and posts 'THIS BAND IS TURD - u all suk' in the comments - he'll be warned/banned. and anyway, i haven't seen the comments on that article anyway so depending on the nature of his comment - maybe he will get into trouble.
your warning is in no case an example of UG being one-sided and loving guitar hero (personally i don't even like the game), UG just doesn't like people trolling over all the articles purely to strike up an argument.
you don't like guitar hero? it's quite simple - don't read any articles about it. you've been warned about this before. this shouldn't be new to you.

quote

the article is designed for fans of the game. even if you don't like it, there's no reason to spam the article with poor grammar and inflammatory comments. seriously, do you go around articles for all the bands you hate and troll over there too?
people can express their dislike about the set list posted about the game, and they can post that opinion in a respectable format, rather than your rude outburst. i thought about deleting or warning that other guy's comment about the 'stupid kids', but his post was actually relevant to the article. he didn't say 'this game sucks you're idiots if you like it'; he said that although he liked the set list, he recognises that they're going to become popular among a different fanbase. that's totally different to what you said. what you did shows that you saw the title of the article and didn't even bother to read it - you simply went straight to the comments box and flamed. for all we know that other guy loved guitar hero.
