Can't Successfully Link to Game Boards

I'm having trouble accessing game forums for some reason. I can go to any other forum, like this one (thankfully), but I can't get to a game's forum. Whenever I hit the "Discuss This Game" link on a given game page, it reads "Error. You do not have access to this page," or something to that effect.

Yes, that GameFAQs "karma" you speak of is something of a mystery to me. What does GameFAQs have to do with Gamespot, and how does one affect the other? More baffling is how I could even have a bad reputation there. What did I do, give one of those Final Fantasy walkthroughs the evil eye?

So, shall I discuss games here, then? Street Fighter IV is great! I'm just kidding ...

GameSpot and GameFAQs are both owned by CBS Interactive, and the game database and game boards are shared across both sites. When ZDNet acquired GameFAQs, the decision was made to use GameFAQs' existing forums for the game boards rather hosting them on GameSpot.

Okay, so can any moderator reading this tell me what happened, and what I can do about this? I forgot how to view my moderation history.

You see, I was banned recently, and then pardoned, but I promised the administration they wouldn't have any trouble with me again. I'm usually pretty cool here, anyway. I guess they decided to keep me away from the game forums, though.

Is this open for discussion, or is it final? I just want to know.

There's a moderator here, isn't there? I was once told by a moderator that if I have any questions for moderators, I should come to these boards.

If you've been unbanned, fill out this form to get your GameFAQs ban overturned.

Oh, and the place to ask about moderation issues is Ask the Mods, not Technical Support.
