Circuit City Subpoenas CheapAss Gamer and DVDTalk

An anonymous reader writes "A poster on DVDTalk and CheapAssGamer has posted the weekly ads for Circuit City, Best Buy, and Target ahead of time for the last few years. A few weeks ago he confirmed that there was an intended price break on the PS3 and stole Sony's thunder from E3. A Circuit City ad was used for confirmation. Circuit City has threatened DVDTalk and CheapAssGamer.com to give them personal information about the poster. CheapAssGamer has hired a lawyer and is going to fight. The story is similar to the Black Friday ads being posted early and FatWallet fighting back."

Troll? Sounds like we've got some rather childish folks wielding moderator points today.

Today? Try the last few weeks/months. There have been a number of complaints (some justified) about the moderation system. But lately it seems there are a rash of moderators why either don't have a sense of humor and mod down any joke they don't understand or who simply mod troll or flamebait anything they don't agree with. Seems to me some moderators need to reread (if they read at all) the moderators guide and mod to promote instead of demote.
