Anyone else think that the gamespot moderators take their job way too seriously?

That wouldn't be a bad idea.. I like the way you think. What was your point again?

No, I dont really think that.

If you don't like the rules, leave.

gamespot moderators don't make the rules. They just enforce them. Do police officers make the laws they enforce?

I is agreeing with you numbers and letters :D

The rules are great in my opinion. i'v been almost 2 years now going and coming to gamespot and why? because its clean and has great rules, they should keep doing this

If you don't like the rules, leave.

:lol:

Yea this basically, there are plenty other sites you can go to if you dont like this one

:| The things people let upset them.

Definitely. They're annoying because of it.

They seem strange at times to me, I've seen mods happily posting in threads that should have been closed IMO, and yet people getting moderated for highly questionable reasons or semantics. But then no forum is perfect, someone half my age questioning my morales will never cease to amuse me.

I'm not motivated enough to build a deathstar and set things right, so I'll have to put up with it :)

They have definitely made some questionable decisions in the past..can't believe they banned -Oath..

I do think they are too serious about it,but I don't think that was the best example.

The moderators don't make the rules; the admins do. ;)

Yes, but the mods have the best chance out of all of us common users to get the rules changed if they are hindering the community or don't make sense. Clearly, they are failing in that regard.

I actually think they do quite well. They keep a good balance between of allowing for heated debates and pointless all out flame wars.

Of course, there is always room for improvement, especially with their suspension policies. I've been suspended for saying that China should ban christianity, where as you have posters saying all religions are blood thirsty, violent and harmful to the world, but they dont even get modded

Yeah I'm not sure exactly why this site is so PG. I haven't been suspended or anything but I had a warning or two for something completely undeserving.

I would like to find a game site as populated and busy as Gamespot's without the gestapo levels of censorship.

NeoGAF is, by far, the best game forum on the internet, but they have been sitting on my activation for over a year, it seems like they never take new members.
