[QUOTE="peaceoutmedusa"] 1st of all a point is a single entity THAT CAN MAKE UP AN ENTIRE IDEA (people learn this in second grade). If you... Hold up a second... Did you just say that I did in fact give points to back up what I was saying????? "You didn't give anything to back up your single point until asked to". So not only have you contradicted yourself, but you are really being silly and only nitpicking at what I am saying. spazzx625
Right...So you had one general idea of your post...Yet you claimed you had eight. I already said that I saw one point to your original post waaaay back up there...Around the time you were complaining that I wasn't giving you a proper rebuttal of your points. I also didn't say you actually backed anything up, there's a difference between giving something and actually doing something of value ;) Seriously...Hilarious.

But you did say that I did give a point and THEN you said that I did not. The problem is that you only want to look at what suits you, and then act like nothing else occured. And then you get on these boards, and try to act like you are smart, but at the end of the day you have only clearly contradicted yourself. I listed a bunch of points that I gave to you, and yet you still continue to ignore likethat never happened. This is very simple, you just cant accept the fact that you are wrong.

I assume that wrongness is by your fiat, since you seem to be the only one who sees it? It must be awesome to be able to retcon your own memories =D

The TC is 100% correct. And the suspensions??? DONT GET ME STARTED ON THEM. Half of the time they suspend someone by something that they misinterpreted. And ALMOST ALL of the suspensions are nitpicky, its like "who cares, its only the internet". They also have threatened to suspend and ban people even if they only commented on topics that they deem offensive!!!!! One time, they suspended me for something that a said from a whole week before they suspended me!!!!!!

But this topic probably will be locked, due to the fact that the Mods are backed by a terms of service that is INFINITELY bendable.

peaceoutmedusa



Yeah it just seems like over time it's gotten more and more strict I had my account suspended one time ( on a older account ) for simply picking on a MOD ( nothing offensive or hateful ) and calling him out for being a bit of a jerk to some people...he got butt hurt and had my account suspended. complete pile of dog crap that is.


But I remember the site years and years ago when swearing was no big deal, I guess that is what happens when your favorite game site sells out over time ( hopefully I don't get in trouble for that! )

And people are dissecting the word cla$$ when I said cla$$ic , there is a difference, there are more letters in the WORD that end off the SS part of it.
So you're telling me they should censor words like baseballs? Because it has the word Balls in it?
Or how about Dickinson because it has the word...well you know.

I could sit here all day and list words and go back and forth or be one of the trolls that is still going on about the word Cla$$ ( a MAIN word when talking about games in general ... if it's talking about a character cla$$ ,weapon etc ) I don't know why they are dissecting what i'm saying to favor what THEY'RE saying???!
I made a general statement showing a example and I backed up my statement saying this has happened many times with DIFFERENT words , random words that you wouldn't even guess... I mean geesh they might as well make this a "G" rated site and we might as well start reviewing children's games and Disney games only.

It's not ok to say a word like "damn" or "a$$" (which is what is normally said on cable television or in PG movies!!! SOMETIMES EVEN G ) but Gamespot can show pictures of women having next to nothing on and pictures of dismemberment?
I mean we might as well sensor everything on here if freedom of speech ( respectably speaking ) isn't allowed!
But that would mean game content would be down there for ratings would be down there for they wouldn't be making money so that's a no no, but if I want to say the word Cla$$ic , I should be shunned by poor programming and censor ship on a video game site that shows "M" rated pictures? Or video? OH wait their way of justifying that is by putting in your birthday, please a handicap 5 year old can scroll down to a random number and hit OK.

Maybe we should make the boards 16+ only and have separate boards for everyone under the age of 16 so people can speak their mind's about certain topics without having to be afraid of the "man" coming down on them and E-GROUNDING them from the website, it's rather childish.
Infact this whole topic is childish and i'm sure i'll get something for this and make account will receive a loss of "points" yeah the fake ones that are your account that decide what RANK you have on a fourm ( like it really matters in real life people ) or my account will get suspended , so if you're the Moderator reading this and about to click your action button ask yourself this.........are you really a gamer? A gamer is someone who NEEDS the basic right of freedom of speech, without it we would be playing nothing but Bible Games or MCkids for the rest of our lives.
It's a issue of respect for the consumer,the gamer and our constituional right. IT'S EVERYONE'S RIGHT.

AND FOR THE RECORD.

GAMESPOT IS NOT A ALL AGES WEBSITE. IN ORDER TO JOIN THERE ARE AGE REQUIREMENTS.

Bringing us to the PG-13 rating.

My point is proven.

The fourms should be for logged in member's only then , that means to VIEW.

And have one community "general audiences" board if people want to see what the boards are like on here before joining.

So there for in law and retrospect it's all a hypocritical pile of ****!

Well, if the TOS went out the window, I'd probably shortly follow suit. there are about 5 billion sites around where people can go to post swears, porn, and various hate-filled drivel. I, for one, appreciate quite a bit a more restrained environment. Besides, I enjoy the challenge of being filthy and lewd without violating the TOS.

Funny...You don't have any suspensions on THIS account...

lol. This is exactly what I was talking about.




Aren't you a MOD?

Why don't you do your job and MODERATE the boards instead of poking and picking apart what people are saying, he could be referring to a general experience.
That seemed almost like a blatant F U to him, pretty rude for someone who works for gamespot.

I'm not saying a full blown un-censored site, I meant something as in the rules should be more "loose" seeing there is a age req to join the site.

But with there being so many other sites that already offer that, what is so special about Gamespot that you want to try to change this place rather than use one of the others?

- I been here long enough to tell you that swearing was never one of those things that you could do without getting in trouble. There are ways to swear and you won't get in trouble. Its simply stated in the terms of use to censor the word, but don't use it in a way that either disturbs or is against other users. You can read it yourself.
And people are dissecting the word cla$$ when I said cla$$ic , there is a difference, there are more letters in the WORD that end off the SS part of it.So you're telling me they should censor words like baseballs? Because it has the word Balls in it?Or how about Dickinson because it has the word...well you know. I could sit here all day and list words and go back and forth or be one of the trolls that is still going on about the word Cla$$ ( a MAIN word when talking about games in general ... if it's talking about a character cla$$ ,weapon etc )eastcoasteric
- Once again, the word cla$$ is censored not because its a bad term. Infact, the term cla$$ is used in HTML coding a lot, hence its a way to hack into the website if left untouched. That is why that word and any variations of it are censored by the filter. Simply that. I would also like to point out that although mods are asked for opinions on which words to censor or not, ultimately it is up to the Community Manager. For reference, the word ass is not censored as long as you don't use it in a derogatory term. Also, when it comes to editorials and stuff with pictures that would normally not be allowed to post by a normal user, there's nothing we can do about those. That is something that must be discussed internally within GS headquarters. Just remember mods only have control of the community features, such as boards, comments, Union, etc.
Infact this whole topic is childish and i'm sure i'll get something for this and make account will receive a loss of "points" yeah the fake ones that are your account that decide what RANK you have on a fourm ( like it really matters in real life people ) or my account will get suspended , so if you're the Moderator reading this and about to click your action button ask yourself this.........are you really a gamer?

IT'S EVERYONE'S RIGHT.eastcoasteric
- I might not be a hardcore gamer, only a casual one, but this is a private website run by a private company. Like any other private anything on the internet, there is a Terms of Use that you have to agree too before registering. I would suggest you read it. Honestly I'm the 1st one that will tell you that we are aware that we must change. That we are not perfect, but at least we are making an effort to change. Whether you can see this effort or not only time will tell. You also have to realize this website has grown a lot, and I mean that, hence rules applied years ago might not be good now and vice versa.

are you truely NOT reading anything i'm writing?
You wouldn't even asked that question if you would of taken the time to stop trying to act "coy" and did a little thinking.

I clearly said I've been going onto Gamespots site since it was Videogames.com ( which was like 12 years AGO?! )
I know the lay out of the site and I enjoy the review's , most of the time.

ALSO I said I never really cared for the fourms until as of late I decided to make a new account(seeing my old one was suspended a thousand times and it "disapeered" after I defended a un-named gentlemen who got fired from their review staff..HMM ) and start blabbing on here.

Why would you go somewhere's else just to post on fourms if you felt like it if you felt comfortable with the layout and the page as it is, that is like saying... I go on myspace to post my picture but I go onto facebook to add friends.

[QUOTE="soren008"]

you can't talk about sex or drugs - even though they are one of the two strongholds of human existance

meaning outside our windows & behind our skulls is a world of murder & prostitution and so forth - all I hear outside is people swearing

Reality will be moderated :P

You can talk about rock n roll! Ha.
