Does that shape remind you of anything? Like maybe a famous historical symbol, usually displayed on large banners overlooking crowds of marching soldiers?

Hmm...

They should mirror it.

Then it would be a symbol of good luck.

but did you notice they didn't? their poster not only looks like a swastika, it looks like the inverted swastika that the nazis used.

this sort of thing makes me think that coincidence has a lot to answer for (if indeed it is coincidence! ;) )

The pic Annorax posted in the first post, and you quoted later. If you can't see it, you prolly have dialup and should wait a few secons... it will show.

If it's fake, I'll bin it myself. But I trust the source.

Well It's obvious that It's fake... But... The situation in the console market is becoming pretty tense especially for Sony and Nintendo. Many developers like EA are moving to Xbox360. Seems like they are killing this market too.

i am wondering if these posts by kintaro are a test.

it's possible, he's trying to show that you moderators will bin reasonable and intelligent posts, but will leave nonsensical jibberish intact.

i knew this already of course, but good on you for demonstrating it, kintaro!

Good job kintaro!

Well you're right again and nothing's changed, the mods just don't learn.

Too bad my Microsoft Roolez!!! spam hasn't been deleted, and you have been online in the last hour.

Oh well I'm off to bed now, see you tomorrow.

Why? If you could ban, would you have banned Aloone_Jonez? That just wouldn't seem fair IMO.

I hope the admin isn't going to introduce lame idea like if you break a forum rule it's an auto-ban or 3 strikes and you're out. :rolleyes:

You're right and that's why I won't do it again.

I just wondered how long it would take for it to get removed.

You are right.
And Aloone, I don't think he meant that once-off "Microsoft Roolez!!!" thing, I think he means this.

Must be hard for the moderators though.

I agree and that's why I never want to be a moderator in any forum - it sounds like too much hard work.

Deleting spam is a relativly new thing a while back (before I joined) there was a troll that would post similar spam to this (http://www.microsuck.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5633) and it was never deleted.
