Official Staff Communication
Review threads have often been some of the most contentious on the forum. To improve the level of discussion therein, please observe the following guidelines in all review threads (including this one):
• No matter your stance on the game, your contributions always should be thoughtful and backed with substance. Avoid drive-by posting (do not just drop a hot take and leave).
• Do not engage in metacommentary or generalizations about other members who disagree with you. This will be moderated strictly.
• Do not troll. If the staff determine that you are trolling or attempting to inflame the discussion you will be banned.
• Exercise caution before accusing a media outlet or reviewer of having ulterior motives behind their score. If your claim is inflammatory and you cannot substantiate it, you will be banned.
• Treat your fellow members with respect at all times. These are only video games.
All rules laid out in our General Guide still apply in this thread. These additional guidelines will apply to all future review threads and will be reposted as necessary.
