Cheering shills has been standard industry practice since Sony's 2006 E3 megabomb. It's become increasingly obvious, with people loudly applauding even the awkwardest and worst product deliveries.
Did he get perma'd?
banned, not sure if its a perm.
looking at the xbox thread is like a graveyard. kinda feel sorry for them. there must be at least some genuine people caught in the crossfire.

Microsoft is a world class leader in business, computing, and entertainment

Don't believe the internet rumors you read online.
A lot of these /r/gaming complainers are paid anti-Microsoft trolls.
The bold is not mine its from the post

My only comment is i think the OP should have done at least an initial look at the user who posted, the account was created less than a day ago even though the post claimed that had been a regular redditor
This seems to be the new neogf 0 proof or even common sense required to tar a feather
I don't think we have any reasons to believe the mods aren't doing a good job on checking who these people are. I doubt they ban them just on suspicion, but it's at any rate, they're doing their job. Now, let's do ours, and praise the new Xbox One!
Wait..
Trolls talk like that
What if Microsoft getting discovered for reputation management in Reddit and is now making it seem like the original leaker was a fake and a massive troll and then take steps to make it seem like Microsoft wasn't at fault for doing this in order to defuse the whole situation and get more people supporting them by calling anyone who hates on microsoft someone an emotional reactionary troll looking to start trouble?
Lmao.a couple of folks including myself pointed out in the first page or two that there isn't even any such building, but here we are.
25 pages later.
also, buy Xboxes.
The fact his name is Seahawks Pride and Microsoft is in Seattle is a clue too haha.

Keep bandwagoning Gaf.
People can have strong opinions. Stop being so paranoid.
Unsubstantiated post on reddit about the Xbox gets a 25 page thread here? I'd love to say I'm shocked but I'm not.

And here I thought the plural was Xboxen.
This thread has long drifted into discussions of shilling in general , and its practice on GAF in particular, the original post just provided a thread on the subject.
Regardless, judging by the posts in many other threads, countless have merely read the topic no doubt and form an instant assumption that MS is culpable here when in fact it is bullshit... many people don't bother with specifics, they just throw it on the pile of assumptions and prejudices of guilt and evil and paranoia...
It still happens here though.Unsubstantiated post on reddit about the Xbox gets a 25 page thread here? I'd love to say I'm shocked but I'm not.

For Microsoft, yes. Sony still doesn't do this.
I wouldn't doubt they do it, but companies like MS and Apple are capable of doing it on a scale where it actually makes a difference.So you're saying, with absolutely confidence that Sony as a corporation doesn't do this. Pretty bold.
Do they because I haven't heard.So you're saying, with absolutely confidence that Sony as a corporation doesn't do this. Pretty bold.
I can always count on posting history for entertainment.Regardless, judging by the posts in many other threads, countless have merely read the topic no doubt and form an instant assumption that MS is culpable here when in fact it is bullshit... many people don't bother with specifics, they just throw it on the pile of assumptions and prejudices of guilt and evil and paranoia...
Amazing
You..should take a nap, relax, you're taking it really personal.

Hey, if anyone knows the buildings in question maybe they could highlight them on a Redmond Campus Map for us. That would clear things up a lot for those who had any doubts.
For Microsoft, yes. Sony still doesn't do this.
awesome. what movie is this from?

Is there a link to the Xbox thread?GAF is closed community where you need to wait months to get account here and yet in that infamous MS thread bans were given one after another and almost every new page contained banned juniors that started being alive just before or after MS fuckup.
My point is: If closed community have shills on almost every page in that thread then imagine what is happening on open forum when you can create account in 2 minutes.
Shills are not "minor occurrences" Shills are standard of industry and not even for gaming.
Did you hear about iOS reviews/buys shills ? book review shills ? That is part of industry which is constantly growing.
Damn all the links are dead, sounds funny.
Are you also going to imply that the people that were jettisoned from here for being Microsoft shills and regurgitating the same message was also unsubstantiated?
For Microsoft, yes. Sony still doesn't do this.
Maybe someone can clarify for me the how making stupid viral videos contained to its own blog are the same as people masquerading as forum posters.

Yeah, it's not like we've had any here that have been banned with Bish basically flat-out telling us that they're here...
...
It's known that Nintendo reads GAF, a Nintendo person visited the Smash Bros. Dojo thread when Brawl released.I wouldn't be surprised if they do. In fact, I'm pretty sure they do, somewhere, maybe even here.
The real question is does Nintendo do this? Personally, I don't think they really do.
I was referring specifically to the Reddit story (thread title) implicating MS as having planned it...
what happened/s here is specific to us and as I said above, obviously has merit but happens on BOTH sides

The user experience is vastly superior to that of Google.
Bing also values your privacy. Don't get Scroogled, folks!
However, this 'shillgate' have spilled over in many threads now. I wish it could blow over soon, that the consoles will be released.
not that i am buying anyone of them though
