I've used this sentence construction because english isn't my first language and it was the easiest/fastest way to say what i wanted to say.

The downvote system is automatic ? I thought user could downvote each other threads

I'm still asking for clarification on why games are compared to crack. I'm a gamedesigner you see, and i went a little bit crossed-eyed on this sentence.

Edit : i don't see my comment grayed.

World of Warcraft is widely considered to be a highly refined Skinner box. If you're unfamiliar with the experiment, I strongly recommend that you look it up on Wikipedia and then google "wow detox". Also, you may want to research Asian governments' restrictions on XP/hour.

I'm sure you'll come to the right conclusions.

Yes, i'm aware of all this, but internet can also be considered like that, and also, many entertainment. And wow is just a game among many, i don't quite agree with this generalization. You can't judge a medium for what is done with it, but for what you CAN do with it.

Edit : Besides, i don't really like wow :)

Your comment is no longer grayed because others have upvoted it, likely because politician's comment pointed out that the downvotes were not deserved.
