[QUOTE="Jandurin"][QUOTE="Mike-uk"]What is so disruptive about it?mattykovax
I don't think that the periods were that disruptive, but generally, lots of punctuation with little substance in a title (especially in the case of !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!s) are disruptive, so they have a blanket thing asking for no over-punctuated titles. At least, I think they do. Been awhile since I bothered looking at the ToU.

Actually you are right. I actually read it for the first time the other day:lol:

Yeah, it was my topic that got locked, because i did get a little 'stupid' with the periods. But hey, you never learn unless you mess up sometimes, lol.

Trial by fire. :)

But back to the question, "Are the mod's drunk?" Are they drunk? No. Buzzed? Maybe. :P

I wouldn't say the MODs are "drunk with power", but I would say a good deal of MODs are far to eager to exercise their power. Some/most of the moderations I've had just leave me shaking my head as to why the MODs think they need to shelter other posters so much. I agree with the zero tolerance policy on insults, but the "disruptive / intended to annoy" moderations are laughable.

My guess is that most MODs don't have any "power" in their real life job and overcompensate when they get on GameSpot. There was a certain MOD I was having a discussion with who got angry I wasn't kissing his feet (like so many other posters here do) and was instead talking to him like an adult. Comical to say the least. I was surprised he didn't ban me :o

Hmm, I see. Speaking of dreams, I just had this awesome dream about a massive tidal wave consuming an entire greek Island. Ofc as the mastermind I am, I managed to climb up thehighest mountain, thus escaping the menacing water terror.

Dreaming of tidal waves however is a sign of emotional distress, but who cares,it was awesome.

People who seek positions of power are often power hungry. Since the position is voluntary it can be concluded that TC is most likely correct. That being said, it's a video game forum on the internet so who cares. I would much rather you try to thwart dirty cops or politicians.

I've always got my eye on OT. I just find all the biased, un-founded rumors and speculation in these threads to be a bit entertaining. That's why I wander in now and again to topics like these, just to lighten the mood a bit.

Interesting thread. These always are. Onto the questions. 1. Are the mods drunk with power? Not in this instance. The ToU may have some places where it is a bit open to interpretation, but it is very specific with regards to the word you used. If anything, you got off light. 2. Do mods actively seek their positions? Nope. Generally speaking, as I understand it, asking once to show you're interested is good, asking over and over again to become a mod is a red flag that counts against you. Usually potential modlings don't even know they are being observed/considered until they are offered the job. 3. Is this the right place to complain about a moderation? Nope. As others have mentioned, we have a forum setup specifically for folks to ask for clarification around why they got modded. People don't always like the answer they get, but they DO have a place dedicated to their complaints about specific moderations. (As opposed to more all-purpose "The mods suck!" sorts of comments, which usually are 300 post long threads right here in OT.) 4. Do mods get notified when there is a topic like this? Nope. But it's pretty hard to miss a topic title "Gamespot moderators drunk with power?"

a few days ago i replied to the chris jericho topic by stateing he used self defence.... now the moderators sent me a violation saying its offensive. my question is does anyone else feel or agree that some mods warn people just because of them being bored? another thing how can saying self defence be offensive? it goes to show the mods on this site are nothing more than power hungry. nnow what i stated is fact and imo not offensive. so if i get banned you all will see how these mods areTazzmission187
Somehow, I don't think you're giving us the full story. I can't possibly imagine a single moderator moderating you for saying that.

The thing is that of all the moderators to see something, only one has to think it's out of line for it to be modded. It is really the only efficient way to do things, but that doesn't mean I can't be disatisfied with it. They should think to themselves, WWGD - what would Gabu-ex do? Therein lies the answer:P. I think a good rule of thumb should be, if it's borderline ignore it.
