It also gets confusing when they are commenting in other threads outside of their own. Who the hell is actually commenting because their opinions and writing styles change throughout a thread. If they are to be allowed to keep their team account then they should be limited to posting in their own threads and be forced to use their own accounts when they comment or post anywhere else.

Coming from someone who only has about a year's experience with this website, and is therefore out of the loop regarding the history of the transition from negative1 to team_negative1, I also have noticed strange things relating to the team account's posts, especially within the last week or two. Lately the team account has been posting throughout numerous threads (mostly the ones relating to the OOT/SE discussion) saying things that are often baseless and extreme. Like what's been posted in this thread, I started to get really annoyed with the constant pushing of the idea that these posts come from the general consensus of an entire group of people, when it's obvious to everyone that the entire team isn't contributing to the response. In my opinion, if an account is going to represent multiple people, then it should have no right to post on any subjects other than documenting the progress of, or answering questions related to their projects. I think Jay's ruling needs to be made clear to the "team", or whoever is using the account to post on subjects unrelated to the teams projects.

There was also a strange, sarcastic post in a thread in which they responded to a person's very long and wordy post by saying, "Good points, but you may want to edit your wall of text, so that people can read it."
