it was half a joke, dummy

Bruh, why do you guys feel like you have to edit my threads?
You don't do this to other posters. Its weird. If I wanna make a thread titled "PS4 likes it doggystyle" will you change that title too?
See, its your opinion that it MAY. Its my opinion that it IS
Its obvious. You don't agree, you don't have to.
But I have that right, so unless this is Neogaf :yeshrug:

they edit thread titles and merge threads all the time. it aint just you breh. its part of being a mod. the-coli actually is pretty consistent with their modding. why you mad anyway? your thread is still going. I mean was your thread about the article or was your thread about your opinion that PS4 wont allow used games.

as for anyone talking bout "this has already been discussed", well there is a link in the OP to a fresh new Kotaku article. If you are mad this has already been discussed, maybe you should send Kotaku and email and let them know you have already addressed this and they can stop reporting about it.

Both, it's real console war info bruh bruh :manny:
I'm reading the previous page and dying over how mad these fools are to the point they screaming for the Feds to fukkin verify each thread I make :win:
Dumbass even said "that's why liquid does his job" and straight up tried to carry the only mod who is known for keeping it 95(out of 100)
That's that GSM online clique shyt I guess with the liquid hype :wrist:

:umad: this was already discussed in another thread. Thus dude just making threads to make em. So since a new link warrants a new thread, let me find a link with a slightly different story and make a thread about it . even tho its already been discussed numerous times already. Dudes trolling the place and it goes right over you. @Kodie at least @Liquid does his job...
This Stan should not be acknowledged because... [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvTNyKIGXiI"]It's Still Real To Me Dammit - YouTube[/ame]
The fact he has liquid doing everything he cries for is Questionable. And while you have no right to change my thread title for the reasons you have stated @Kodie, I'm not gonna kill myself over it. It's weird you think it has to be changed. This ain't neogaf, never will be. We more chill over here, at least we used to be :beli:

But when you cry to that other dude its ok? We get it. You're trolling. Every thread you make is a praise for Xbox and a stab at ps3 or ps4. Fact is you dam pushing 40 and you're stanning a game system still? Shouldn't you be raising a family and what not? Dam I feel sorry for your kids. Sad all this so called knowledge is spewed on this website. Then again its mainly trash that you post. :ufdup2:

Let's stop bagging on coutdog for a second and discuss the issue at hand.

Everyone get's up in arms about used games, and not being able to play them, but I think it might be a great thing.

If publishers can 100% control the cost of their games, that means that in a closed system, prices will begin to reflect that actual value of the game.

Angry Birds trilogy (free on iphones) released for consoles with a price point of 50$! Thats a game I wouldnt spend more than 10$ for. Eventually, the publisher would realize, "no ones paying 50$ for angry birds, we better drop the price if we want to move units." 6 sales at 10$ > 1 sale at 50$. (obviously.)

Now, compare that to your local record shop, game stop, what have you. Where ever it is that you are buying your used games. Because that shop, and that shop alone, is controlling the used game prices, they are going to try to keep them close in price to the new game prices, so as to not eliminate their new game sales.

This could actually serve to break up the homogeneity of the gaming world.

And at the end of the day, if sony blocks used games, MS will too. If one allows it, the other will too. So it's not a console v. console thing.

Let's start discussing how it affects us as gamers.

Oh so now I keep it 95? The other day you were talking about how often I pick on you by modding your shyt (I basically never do) and hurling personal insults at me but now I keep it 95, that's great.


I don't know why you have this obsession with NeoGAF. This isn't anywhere near becoming NeoGAF. If this was GAF, you would register and not have posting privileges for months and even then probably not have thread-creating privileges for at least a year, and even if you somehow made it to that point without being banned, 95% of the threads you make would have gotten your thread closed and you banned onsite. And forget creating an alias because you'd have to go through the same wait for posting and thread-creating privileges. So nah, this aint like GAF.

As far as I can recall this is the first time I've ever done anything to one of your posts or threads. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong (I'm sure you'd be able to provide links if that's the case too). And changing one word in a thread title is not something you should be offended by. It's not that serious.

And what gives me the right? The fact that I have the right. It's that simple. I have the privilege by virtue of being appointed mod - by the people no less. If you think I've abused that privilege, feel free to take it to whomever you like. If you wish for me to stop modding - just tell me and I won't hesitate to take that under serious consideration. That's no lie, it's straight up truth.

As for why I modified your title... Let's start with two hypotheticals:

- If someone creates a thread that says Terrence Howard has been shot and it's not true? What would I do? I would probably delete or at least close the thread. That's blatant spread of misinformation and I think it qualifies as something that should be removed.

- If someone creates a thread that says PS4 price has been announced at $700, I'd do the same as above for the same reasons.

Those are different from what you did (hence I didn't delete or close your thread). In fact what you did may have been completely unintentional. What you did was say Kotaku said something that they didn't. Nowhere in their article do they say "PS4 will restrict used games". They said that Sony is being very fuzzy about it and they are which is why this warrants discussion. You are allowed to read between the lines but you aren't allowed to posit your inference as fact. I don't think that's unreasonable.

This relates strictly to "news" threads in my opinion. In the coli and in the arc we make plenty of "opinion" threads that are looser in a sense because they pertain to discussion around an opinion. News threads should convey news at least relatively accurately. For example:

Bad news thread that was made by someone not named @Cockmeat Sandwich and was closed: http://www.the-coli.com/arcadium/91809-ps4-games-=-$99-99-a.html#.USoinqU4s-0

Divisive pinion thread with over 5 pages of discussion: http://www.the-coli.com/arcadium/91...-look-back-xbox-360-realize.html#.USoi36U4s-0

If you don't think I even have the right to close the hypothetical threads, then I wonder what you think I, as a mod, should be doing at all. If you think I do have the right to close them but not do what I did here, I wonder where exactly your line is drawn.

Kodie, you added the word "May" its not that serious.
I acted like it was major, but it wasn't. I figured you would feel the same
I was annoyed by it, but the outrage is a faux as Mad80219's reason for being here :hula:

Just cuz I haven't been banned for a year or less doesn't mean this place isn't turning into neogaf. Maybe I'm missing something here, but this place is Sohh.com Jr.
Its believed that this place is a place where all people can join the people of color as we talk about shyt from our colorful perspectives.
Neogaf is a gaming website, thats why they strict. The-Coli is a hip-hop-negro-centric website. Using your logic, epic threads like "Mario is dead: Miyamoto dead at age 69" would be closed on site.
And guess what, every other thread I make these days gets the same treatment. This place is WORSE than sohh as of today. Its not that way because I abused threads, it became that way out the blue one day. Chewy holds a grudge, now Liquid does too...
As far as I can recall this is the first time I've ever done anything to one of your posts or threads. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong (I'm sure you'd be able to provide links if that's the case too). And changing one word in a thread title is not something you should be offended by. It's not that serious.
Once again, not offended. Its not that serious. As for threads corrected I could pull up a couple, but its not that serious so...
And what gives me the right? The fact that I have the right. It's that simple. I have the privilege by virtue of being appointed mod - by the people no less. If you think I've abused that privilege, feel free to take it to whomever you like. If you wish for me to stop modding - just tell me and I won't hesitate to take that under serious consideration. That's no lie, it's straight up truth.
You stop modding? No, you seem to be fair 95% of the time. That 5% dropoff is when you watch your peers blatantly abuse there powers and nothing happens. On neogaf maybe I'd run to the tellsohh/event section
I shouldn't have to here. I can handle myself. And if the mods wanna then run this place into the ground?
Yall want Mad82019 running round crying over any thread that doesn't fit into his agenda? Can I get some sort of acknowledgement that dude is flamming every thread I make to the point its spam and derails them?
It keeps happening, and Liquid follows his orders. But this ain't Neogaf? :usure:

The bold says everything, yes the fukk I can say it. And this is how the majority of "gaming" threads on this website get posted, what are you talking about :stopitslime: Its absurd for you to say its not. Once again, this is NOT NEOGAF. The bold, the reason its ridiculous? Because this is NOT NEOGAF. Your applying Neogaf protocols to "The Arcadium" which started off this way...

http://www.the-coli.com/arcadium/69...fakkit-coward-show-his-face-appreciation.html

Neogaf should be vigilant on threads exact wording, not The-Coli


The-Coli: Where fukkery is frowned upon if you do it right :damn:

:umad: I'm following the mattress man way. Troll by making a thread only I do it in posts. Like I'm the only dude calling you out on your bs and shytty threads. Everyday its a new Xbox thread or a Sony hate thread. :ufdup: that's why shyt gets merged mods and posters like myself and others are tired of seeing your dumbass threads. Then you wonder why someone hits you with the 1SNR treatment. :yeshrug:
