What do you like or dislike about Neowin?

Dislike: The iron grip of the staff, and the way they through warnings around like candy, for anything and everything.

I must admit, I did laugh out loud at that comment. If you think the staff around here has an iron grip, I would not like to see how you would fare on this other board I frequent. :)

They're death to people who haven't read the rules and understood them completely. And I do mean _completely_.

Fanbois. The adamant views of fanbois drive me nuts. They are so blinded by the brilliance of <nameyourthingy> they refuse to even consider the possiblity that <nameyourthingy'snemesis> could have strong points.

Dislike: The people

Especially dislike people who place stereotypes on others that aren't justified. A good example is an American on this board being slammed for being an idiot, with comments like "lol Americans..." and typical anti-American comments. I mean, just because some individual from the UK makes an ass out of himself does not make give me the right for me to slam all people living in the UK. Honestly, I don't see how anyone can consider this sort of behavior acceptable.

That's one of the major concerns I have about this website, as I enjoy reading a lot of what others have to say here. Many intellectual people here, but it really sucks when you're made out to be an idiot or simply not welcome to the site because of where you live. :/

i forgot about that, i hate that more than the 6 month warning period.

i ****ing hate all those,"only in america" and all that jazz

Can't believe I missed this, too. The idea that people know your situation without being in it. People in other countries bashing the U.S. (I said some) without any understanding of why people in the U.S. feel like they do. Without being here, you don't appreciate the situation and you can't, in reality, understand.

Dislike: Most of the people on the site

[Astra.Xtreme]

The endless Microsoft >>>> Apple and likewise arguments are endless and brings out the monster in too many people.

Secondly, the grammar police around here need to retire. Especially when they can't grammatically correct it properly themselves.

And most of all.... anybody who calls other people "fanboys" need to get over themselves. Just because somebody favors one company (etc.) over another and backs up their reason doesn't mean they are a "fanboi(?)". It doesn't matter if they are over the top and think they are the only one that is right either. It still makes you look like a douchebag for the name calling.

I agree. I've been on other boards that had mods who were the kiss of death to even disagree with them in any shape, form or fashion and they ruled with a mighty iron rod. The mods here are pussycats in comparison. Comments like "Dislike: The iron grip of the staff, and the way they through warnings around like candy, for anything and everything." would have dealt with the ban hammer on many boards.

[jonhapimp]

I don't complain about the mods because they're not heartless bitches who ban you no matter how contributing you are, or if you disagree with them any slightly way

What do I like about Neowin?

Nothing. This place sickens me and

you can all go and rot for all I care.

Nah, I'm just kidding, you guys are alright.

[Draconian Guppy]

Hmm not to fond of the editorials, they always seem "uninteresting" IMO.
