Mods either need to educate themselves on what is or is not trolling/flamebait/etc in gaming threads or they need to stop allowing gaming threads. It really is depressing the state of gaming discussion on this board.
People get away with anything and reports are always ignored. People outright lie, deceive, troll, etc and nothing ever comes of reports.
This thread for instance:
http://atrl.net/?t=468302
1. The source is not legitimate since NO weekly sales charts exist for the USA. NPD reports sales monthly. The source he cited
MAKES UP the numbers. He even knows it is not legitimate considering the way he sarcastically mentioned vgchartz's accuracy in his post.
2. The title is flamebait (on multiple levels since it is also flamebait for Gaga stans).
3. It is not a relevant comparison since it does not take into consideration supply constraints (not an issue in music so I understand why that one is missed)
It should have been closed for any one of those reasons. Instead report was cleared.
or this post:

If I went into a thread about "What should Gaga's next move be?" (Thread is asking what Nintendo should do after Wii-U underperformed) and said "She should retire"...... I would get a WP 100% of the time.
Sorry if I come off abrasive, but the outright refusal to moderate gaming discussion on any level is sad. (I am not sure I have EVER seen a successful report in gaming discussion)
