Now, I'm well aware that the vast majority of you are OK, but the instances of PS2 fanboyism are increasing by the day, and to be frank, it's getting out of hand - a bunch of them have recently spilled over to the Ninty forum =(
Now, I'm not saying it's your fault (the ordinary PS2 owners), because it isn't. But what can be done to educate the semi-literate masses who insist on spamming the world with "PS2 r0x0rs it iz da bezt eva" and "GTAVC iz kuhl" night and day like a bunch of intellectually challenged vampires working shifts?
To be honest, I'm sick to death of staring ignorance in the face day after day, and after presenting the facts to these asinine fanboy morons, they promptly disregard everything I've said and repeat their previous statements to fade.
I'm irritated by it, I know many of you are too. What can we do?

Same here, but let's not pretend that these PS2 owners are the only morons on the forums. There are more than enough Ninty and Xbox fanboys guilty of EXACTLY the same crimes.
Singling out those claiming to be PS2 fans and acting like they're the only ones shows equal bias, even if it is on a more intellectual scale.
IB is just as big a Ninty fanboy, and constantly slates the PS2 and its software - he just uses longer words that are actually part of the English language, and ensures his sentences are properly punctuated! :-)

I think letting their posts go unreplied to and let them slip down the page is really the only thing that can be done. If they don't get responses they'll hopefully soon get tired of wasting their time.
Notables should have the power to veto trash threads.
Maybe if 3 agree then they can nuke it.
Or we can get Beards to give out their address and we go and lay the smackdown on them....

Which is why we have JAT's, Newbies, Regulars and Notables?! Thinking about it, my idea was pretty poo. The only good idea to stop all of the fanboys is to ignore their posts, rather than letting the replies stack up to about 80. If we just let them drop to the bottom of the page and then eventually disappear, everything would be sorted. Oh, and who are you calling a fanboy IB?

Democracy is NOT a good thing. 10 out of a few hundred people is not enough. Plus, people will gang up on people they don't like.

The thing is though, none of the people that actually post in this forum do make these kind of "fanboy" posts. It's the people that are "cool" and are bored, so they come onto the forums and post this rubbish because they know that they cause a stir. It just needs to be ignored, but having a lil' button that allows us to delete these kind of topics wouldn't go a miss. Let's say if 10 different people click on this button below the post, it gets deleted.
