@hailinel: Didn't GB use to have a "preferred system" coloured name tag system? GB wasn't going all up and arms amongst ourselves back then. It really is Gamespot's crowd. Always had been atrocious. Or maybe because the site was so big that all sorts of childish/youtube-comment level of users were around, but everyone's saying Gamespot's actually smaller than GB in terms of users by now, I can't imagine that only the worst/loudest/foulest users stuck around.
Giant Bomb did, back in the original site design. But it did cause trouble. I kept my color neutral, because I found the whole thing silly, and had more than one person ask why my username wasn't red at times I stated positive things about Nintendo games. And the tone was almost hostile or accusatory. It was bizarre, and the whole thing only promoted tribalism. I'm glad that feature is gone.
