My problem with the review on Gamespot is specifically the hypocrisy that a reviewer from that site accusing GTA V of Misogyny, and yet having a video posted a few hours earlier in preview of the game which included two women dressed up as prostitutes in the guise of comedy.

Furthermore the reviewer is a transgender and will only have ever suffered prejudice for their status as a transgender person (and you see plenty of these prejudiced comments on the Gamespot forums), and will not have had to suffer the type of sexist/misogyny (that she accuses GTA V of) that many women will probably have had to deal with either in their professional or personal lives.

As for the point, there is no point, that is exactly the point of most of these videos posted over the past few days that have come out in support of their colleague... blindly.  For the most part they are completely ignorant to the opinions of the people using their forum who's opinions, no matter how well put, they consider to be beneath them and contemptible.  They ignore what most people say and instead focus on the most extreme opinions and use them to wrongly represent those disagreeing with Gamespot and their point of view in this matter.  

Irrespective of Carolyn Petit' review of GTA V there are others on this site who are repeatedly silenced who think she is an absolutely terrible reviewer, who has double standards when dealing with the issue of sexism, and who quite frankly think the confusing nature of her reviews make a mockery of the scoring process on Gamespot.  An example of this is the review for Sleeping Dogs which was accused of being too violent (despite the fact it was set in Hong Kong using an undercover police officer to infiltrate violent Triad Gangs), and yet did not make any mention at all to the violence in Grand Theft Auto V or it being excessive despite the fact that it has, during one mission, a very violent torture scene which is just as if not more violent than anything in the aforementioned Sleeping Dogs which was, as I said, accused of being too violent.  

Basically new rules to protect them from criticism when they don't do their job properly, so they can come out in support of a colleague who doesn't do their job properly, but then use these bs changes to silence any decenting voices.

The F1 Passion Union Evolved...

The image I found online so we'd need to replace that but there to give an idea of how the sig would look 

Maybe I was wrong, Garfield. They ARE listening, after all.

In an update from yesterday, Union leaders will be contacted soon about whether or not they wish their Union to be transferred over to the new website - however it will become a public forum instead (much like UK Discussion, for example). There are some downsides to this, obviously, so to sum up in bullet points:

POSITIVES
- F1PU would remain on GameSpot
- No content would be lost
- Would not have to transfer all data/users to another website
- (Effectively) Officially recognised as THE place to be on GS for Formula One

NEGATIVES
- No Leadership/Officers
- As a result, cannot sticky threads (Navigation to Predictions Championship for example difficult)
- No unique way of identifying ourselves (I believe no banners)
- User profiles for everyone start from scratch again no matter what (we'll all be back to 0 posts)

As the leader, it will be SadPSPAddict who is contacted and thus, has the ultimate decision. I've set up a poll at the top as to decide whether we take up this offer or not.

Personally, I'm undecided as to what we should do. I wouldn't want to move, but at the same time, I would like it if we still had control over the place...

Just thought I would repost a link to the "Safe House" an online forum to meet other players, and to arrange games and discuss tactics for Payday 2, the guy that runs it and the people you meet there are really nice, and there's frequently people online so you are likely to catch a game with someone no matter what time zone you are in.
