Generic Block PC users from Console Lounge ....

Block PC users from Console Lounge for now at least.

The reception console users are getting from some of the PC based players is appalling and at times downright embarrassing. Pretty much every post attracts some snide comments which I think will have a negative effect on feedback from the console users.

Also I am a PC user and get the irony so those referenced above are free to refrain from posting.

 

Sounds like a good idea! Too bad that its needed. This is how WMD members attacked 'regular' users on the pcars forum.

 

How would this work for members with both PC and console version, like myself?

 

You would need to find some other forum buddy!

 

I don't think that would work to well do you? Being blocked from the official forum.
Or then again I could just unlink my steam account, like I have now.

 

Details details! I'm not a details man , I'm more a broad strokes kinda guy =D

A second account ? Your main validated through Steam and the second via Console ?

 

Yeh that could work and the easiest answer, or maybe they could add a validate through Xbox or Playstation networks, like they do for Steam.

 

Pleeeeease ban them. Lots of them so nasty. So unhelful. PC AC thought police including officers from the punctuation and grammar division. Ban 'em aaaalllll
We're Making Assetto Great Again!!

 

As a ps4 player, I really do NOT like this idea. Yeah, there are some 'pc fanboys' around here, but there are also a lot of 'console fanboys'. The pc guys have a lot of experiance with AC, and I really have no problem with them being around here, I rather prefer them to be here as well, i've seen a lot of them who are helpfull too. And even I know they are here a lot longer, and some of them probably have helped form this sim as it is now. Because of a small group of 'annoying' pc guys, does not mean to ban them all. I've seen more 'whining' and unconstructive 'arguments' from consoleplayers atm. Instead of calling them names if you disagree with them, open the discussion in a constructive way with good arguments if you disagree. I'm sorry, but this is nonsense imo.

 

I'm for giving them access.
I used to have a PC, it died, so now on AC/PS4 till I can build another.

The PC non-bad apples have useful info to impart on newbies.
I've seen quite a bit of that in the short time I've been here.

Many of the PC crowd that are helpful were former console gamers...
...I recognize many of the user names from back in my days on another console-centric forum.

 

I have no problem with the pc users being in the console threads. As long as both console and pc users debate in a constructive and respectful manner I see no issue. For the rest it is up to the mods to do their work.

 

I don't think it's a good idea to seperate from them. There are fanboys on all formats.

 

I'll admit I do feel its a unbalanced forum , pc users have access to the console section but console users are forbidden access to the pc section that doesn't set a very good look, but banning pc user's from the console section A will never happen and B isn't a good call.

I've have many a good helpful reply from some of those guys yes I've also had a few where knowledge wasn't there strong point but stone throwing from there green house was.

As it is with both sides you soon learn who to converse with and whom to ignore, the forum incorporates an ignore feature my suggestion would be to use it.
