Me too. Something similar happened to my friend one-eyed Jimbo, though his mod was for 25 to life.

You received no PM telling you the reason behind the action taken?

Try looking in your moderation history, it should be there. =)

No reason, or a reason that one was too lazy or unwilling to find out about? :P

I did receive a PM saying that I was advertising and I didn't do anything.

If you mean the one on June 4, that would be because you posted a thread entitled "Hey guys check out my Fall of Reach vid!" and the body of the thread was just a link to a YouTube video you created with an invitation for people to watch it.

Which is... advertising. :P

If you really got no message perhaps it was GamFAQs.

other wise I believe you will find that the reason was valid 99.5% of the time.

Even if you do not agree is beside the point....everything has to follow the ToU....and the stickies.....

just as in a court where ignorance it not a defence. if you did not read the Terms or skipped the pinned threads that not and excuse:wink:

So the video was about watching a video, which was never shown? Why? (rhetorical)

I wasn't modded for it, but I had a comment on a news story deleted by a mod a year or two ago that was directed toward Gabe Newel, and was about twice as mild as the tamest thing in the thread about the lady who wants to break the heaviest living person record.

Not no reason, but more often than not it's a small reason which I always argue back about.

Every moderation I have gotten has had a solid reason behind it. So no, I've not been moderated for no reason.

Your last moderation was in April, that hardly qualifies as all the time

Folks if you haven't caught on by Gabu's posts, these threads are fine to post in, but if you post incorrect information soley to raise the dander of users against moderators, we are going to call you out.

Yeah, I get modded a good amount, and I've been modded for stupid things, like, having a link to "homebrew" apps in my sig. when in reality it was a psp portal (psp website) I designed for the psp. And I'm pretty sure I was modded for someone elses post, because when I looked at the details, I wasn't even involved in the conversation.

Not on this account really. (The other account is not banned, suspended, or anything negative, don't worry). I'm sure I deserved every last one of my pages of moderations minus the one that got reversed because of a glitch.

For silly reasons and reasons I don't agree with, yes, but never for no reason. I got suspended for a few days / a week (I forget) for calling some homophobic twit a moron and for generally being a bit gobby to him. Probably should have reported him first but he just got my back up.

I did receive a PM saying that I was advertising and I didn't do anything.

Did you post in AtM about this? Both Jody and Dracula read them, and also if you ask nicely, you can have a second opinion from another moderator.

I've been moderated only once. I sent what facts I had to a moderator, he read them, agreed with me, and reversed the moderation.

They aren't the enemy, they will look at a moderation.
