I receive the message 'Please use a Flash capable Browser To Watch Videos'...

Surely Flash must be dead by now? Please could you resolve this and make HTML 5 the default player?

Totally agree (esp. that last sentence) - it's the main reason I don't bother with this site anymore.

@GameSpot Given that you're celebrating two decades existence, isn't it about time you joined us in the 21st century?

@iago99: We tried some new levers and knobs over here, and this may now work for you - could you give it a shot?

Doesn't look like those levers/knobs were connected to anything - no change. (FF 46.01/Win 7-64)

I don't think my last e-marriage ended well.

E-spousal, surely.

And I thought you were an aspiring writer.

Same here...

When a site can't even get basic security protocols right, one has to wonder about the advisability of using it at all.

Whatever answer that s_h_a_d_o might make, you might want to know first that the dude has a very low opinion of CBS.

I tend towards a low opinion of most mainstream media, more especially when it masquerades as journalism.

And the fact that many here dismiss the original postulation as "silly", only serves to validate the need for discussion.

@uninspiredcup: The word you seem to be proclaiming is applicable to your topic is elitism, not "sexisms," but please, continue.

No, I'd say the term tabloidism might be more correct - the video content mentioned being this site's equivalent of "page 3 cleavage".

That doesn't contradict the fact that the latter is also (most definitely) sexist and misogynistic.

I was not referring to the content of the news, but those who represent the website with daily news. I do not agree with this topic's assertion about GameSpot or IGN because of how it was argued, but I am willing to read any further arguments about this topic. If they are strong enough, I would be happy to report it to the CMs.

I doubt you'd gain much traction - CBSi have been implementing such stratagems as policy for a while now, as an [desperate?] attempt to remain relevant within the industry.

I have absolutely no problem with Lucy and/or Jess performing as representatives in front of camera - it's the site's insistence on using them [more or less] exclusively in order to garner more views that rankles.

As a third party, I must say my friends, it appears to me the board "system wars" by it's very nature is designed to cultivate spamming, trolling and general anti-social behavior. Creating a toxic climate and then complaining of a conditioned reaction seems self defeating,

At the risk of sounding like a broken record...

So, which one of you lovely [im]moderators deleted my post, and why, pray tell?
