I'm not talking about fan boys/girls, or trolls, but shills. They are rampant. Nearly all of the big titles have their deployed goons in them who are ridiculously easy to spot. They've gotten so numerous that, at times, you'll have nothing but blatant game promotion threads filling an entire pages worth. Back in the day they were a lot more subtle, because you were allowed to call them out and expose them. Now they bash competitive games unabashed by spreading lies and misinformation. To top everything off, you get banned if you reveal them...
Aren't there enough ads to pay the bills? Aren't your reviews pf praise of AAA products enough? I mean seriously...

As I've said many times previously, we take this sort of thing seriously, so if you feel that a particular user may be 'shilling' then get in touch with us privately so we can look into it. Calling them out on it is not allowed. Michael "MikeB" Bitton |

There are 2 kinds of people in the world: those who don't like dragons and those who enjoy living. |

I have yet to see what I would consider an honest shill, although I avoid the games individual forums. My blog is a continuing story of what MMO's should be like. |

If they are obvious shills it shouldn't bother you. It's your choice if you want to engage in forum PvP. O_o o_O |
