A shill is a shill. Enough of this.

[TurtleCrusher]

I've heard of the moderators forum, but this needs to be public. It seems the mods over there support this nonsense. This site (specifically a tech forum such as VC&G) is supposed to be a site where people get unbiased information. Where someone can get an honest look and popular opinion about hardware. Now look at how the mods will let this just drag on, and on, and on. God forbid a thread is posted about Starcraft in the PCG forums, but no, let there be 40 threads on the GTX 460/470 and carry on with the shillish postings.

Just because he isn't flat-out lying doesn't mean he's not shilling for nVidia with the constant, repetitive communication of every news story that involves nVidia, Fermi, No AA in SC and supposed bad ATI drivers. It's just advertising nVidia products. He's a nVidia guy throughly. You can see that with his early postings and even through today. Just because he owns an ATI card doesn't mean a thing. I can remember another confirmed shill who played the same exact role...

There was a time long ago that I came here for this kind of information on hardware. The experienced tech reader can spot this out in a heartbeat, but for the uninformed consumer they are swayed towards one direction. They might believe him as he has many posts and maybe owns an ATI card, but is doing anything possible for generating hype for nVidia by appearing non-biased by his current video card. If he's so interested in an nVidia card, why doesn't he just buy one and be done with it? Oh wait, that wouldn't promote nVidia one bit. He's playing this one hard with the support of current VC&G moderators. It's not like he needs to know any MORE about the hardware. He's just promoting it.

Enough is enough. If he wants to promote nVidia, make him buy ad space. That forum is turning into a joke.

This issue will be discussed by the admin. It has been given some attention, but there were other priorities to be addressed first. I can see no good that will come from this thread, so have locked it. PM sent to OP for further discussion. -Admin DrPizza

Translation. Ban anything or anyone NVIDIA, so that only ATI can be discussed.

It's all I see in the video forum and here. Ban NVIDIA, ATI is good and pure.

Enough already :thumbsdown:


For example.... Keys gets attacked...for his NVIDIA connection a lot.

Just from the 1st page as well.

NVIDIA supporters get warnings and vacations constantly, while ATI supporters can freely violate the ToS with personal attacks, baiting and thread crapping.

Let me illustrate a few posts by ATI fans that would get me banned.

The whole thread is pretty much crapped on by ATI fans.

I certainly hope none of this censorship and attacking is actually backed by AMD.

Although I will give you guys credit. If it's not pro-ATI your thread crapping/baiting and personal attacks will achieve your goal of getting a thread locked.

3 in just the last month. You guys would make the censorship in China proud.

Maybe I can make China proud. I didn't look in detail at every one of your examples, but plenty of them resulted in infractions or warnings. One person's posts you used as your example to imply that we allow nVidia bashing to go unchecked has resulted in that person currently having a 2 month vacation from posting in the video forum. Perhaps you weren't aware of some of the other warnings and infractions, but I'm pretty certain you're aware of darkangel's absense, yet used his posts for your examples. As you have misrepresented facts in the past to make a statement, you're earning another vacation from the forums. I set it at only 1 week. It was noted FIVE infractions ago that your "next" infraction should result in a discussion of permabanning you. I think you should be the last person to complain about moderators being too lenient, if there were no leniency, you'd have been long gone. -Admin DrPizza
