Looking at the discussion, it appears that while AOPM *may* initially be coming into the thread to start something, it's not always the case, like the other instances have been prior in this thread. Unless something is particularly egregious, we'll take a moment to assess the situation and decide whether or not to take action. However sometimes people are asking questions without JAQing. AOPM had several posts responding to other users that seemed to be fine. It was only Weltall that was going for the throat.
Based on previous bans in this thread with people coming in to cause trouble, and the situation as a whole, we understand that people can be on edge and unwilling to be forgiving if someone makes a statement that hasn't completely caught up. We've taken action on a few drive-by posts of that nature in this thread. However this doesn't appear to be a drive-by.
In this case, we're inclined to remove both infractions and leave the modpost with the understanding that going forward, hostility is still against our rules. If you feel someone is coming in to cause trouble, report it. We'll take a look at it like we have so many other posts in the thread.

To address a few recurring points: We will not be banning games published by THQ Nordic and subsidiaries like Deep Silver. You are instead welcome to continue raising the issue in threads relevant to the publisher and its games. Disclaimers and boycotts as user driven initiatives are welcome as well.
As we have said before, issues like this should be talked about and should be aired in the open. There is not and will never be such a thing as a "partial ban" on a video game here.
Please do not throw around highly inflammatory accusations or insults at your fellow members. Thank you.
