I'm sure ill get modded by the Nazi's for this post but, why are the mods at gamespot so strict? ive never seen mods ruin any website like they ruin this one, i mean SERIOUSLY, i got suspened for having a contest thread, i mean REALLY? a contest is considered spam/advertising in an offtopic forum? the prize was an weapon code for cod4 i wasnt advertising anything. this is exactly the reason i rarely and many others post here- ridicious modding, i will never subscribe for this very reason im afraid im going to get banned , AND THIS IS WHILE IM TRYING MY BEST NOT TO OFFEND ANYONE, yet they always find some pointless reason to mod me, KARMA'S gonna be a **** for all these a-hole mods.

 

o btw ive been using this site for years and it just gets worse and worse, soon they will be branding us with numbers and bar codes

Weird... Never had any major problems with them. I got perma banned once and they took care of everything and unbanned me after I explained myself and apologized. I just follow the rules I guess.

Sometimes I wish they would just start modding stupidity. OT would become a very quiet place. System Wars would become a damn ghost town.

And I'm sure you'll just think it's cuz you're making a stand against them and not realize that it has to do with calling them an a-hole or any of the other things you said breaking the TOU. Life is so unfair.:(

I got moderated once because I told everyone that the record breaking sales of World of Warcraft expansions was "kinda sad." In fairness to so many great games. I was sent about a dozen freakishly hateful and insulting messages for my opinion. So nobody can make the argument that mods are completely fair 100% of the time. But I'm still here, and nobody really cares about it 5 minutes later.

That sucks. But I guess it could depend on some factors... like: -What forum did you post it on (if you posted in a WoW forum or something then its trolling) -If someone reported your post as offensive (which is what I am guessing is what happend) -- and you have to note when someone reports your post -- the mods dont really see the rest of the responses so they go with what they have to work with and make their judgements on that. I get it that they can't be perfect, but I also get what they go through so I try to cut them some slack.

Well what can you expect? It's a free website. If you had subscribed and paid them money, then I see that as more understandable, but if you really have a problem with the way this site works, why don't you try a different website?

Follow the rules yeah right, they just helped you out cause you're a girl LOL I agree with Dante, the mods here have pretty much ruined the vibe around here, I agree when he said mods on other sites aren't the same, he's right, I never get modded on any other site except for gamespot I just got back from a 14 day suspension for saying "laziness FTL" at some guy who really was being lazy! can you believe that? 14 days?!?! LOL WTF :lol:

I dont think so. And I hope not. I never mentioned at all that I was a girl when I asked for help and reconsideration.

This thread is proving once again that there are three certainties in life: death, taxes, and people leaving out important details with regards to their moderations in order to make themselves look better. :P Anyway, if you have a problem with a moderation, that's what Ask the Mods is for. You won't get anything posting about it in OT.
