I'm pretty sure I'm allowed to post this.

Me, well the worst I've gotten was a warning for responding to a topic with a simple opinion that was not locked. I got "disruptive posting."

The poll is supposed to have better answers, but I accidentally pushed enter and it posted it so I edited it and made the answers quickly before anyone responded:P.

A few...but I understand that it's not about how I interpret the ToU, but how Mods and Admins interpret to ToU. Live and learn.

I think that all of my moderations have been justified. In a few cases I've been moderated due to my post being misunderstood, though I'd say those were understandable as well.

Every damn time! Nah, not really. I actually was able to get one of my moderations undone like a year ago, but otherwise I pretty much deserved all of them...

If I remember correctly, I have only three moderations. And those were when I first started off here on the forums. So I haven't really had any since in the two year period I've been here.

Unfairly modded? Never. I have been modded 4-5 times. I might go so far to say one moderation was too severe, I got a suspension for something that easily could have just been a point loss or warning.

But hey, I deserved some kind of punishment. I'm just a pretty easy going dude, though. I got a speeding ticket the other day and just couldn't get upset - after all, I WAS speeding.

Looking back, a lot of my moderations were justified. But, in some instances, my posts have been moderated for "disruptive posting" despite them being 2 weeks old and being on page 3 or 4. So, sometimes, it has been unfair.

The only one I would consider unfair is when I got suspended for almost a week for posting in a suicide thread. But that was a long time ago. (this only counts suspensions, not the deleting of posts that other people have have submitted as being against the ToU which I have been moderated a whole lot on that made absolutely no sense at all.)

I get suspended for the most ridiculous reasons ever not worth arguing over but I think GS needs to at least make it so you cant that easy if you ask me

I've notice that to... it just seems like some people that clearly violate the TOS get overlooked and other people get modded over smaller questionable violations.

Did you post anything other than the picture? Posting a picture with no text is considered disruptive. That's the only reason I could see you getting modded for that.

I just looked at my history and it turns out I only have one on this account, which entailed a funny conversation I had with a friend on AIM. :lol: But on my old account I have like eight or nine moderations I think. One was a suspension because apparently I pirated a PC game (which not only can't be proven, but I didn't do it to begin with). So that one WAS unfair and I stand by that remark.

Almost as many times as I've been moderated. Yes, in the beginning I had to learn the rules, but even then the ToU was still incredibly flawed as it is today. There are no definitive "rules" anymore (aside from advertising, posting of offensive content and illegal activity, which SHOULD be the only rules), just vague "guidelines" that are left up to moderator discretion.

I've been moderated quite a few times, mostly fanboys of some kind report me- they are unable to digest the harsh truths that I speak with complete honesty.

Yea, everything is so vague. It's less like a forum and more like a video game and the moderators are trying to put you down a level, it's pretty ridiculous at times. I got put back a level because I posted a flash game which was SIMILAR to Mario and I also got suspended for it too.

Why would I be bitter? They can do whatever they want. I don't own the place. I don't even spend much time here.

probably the funniest mod I received was when someone called me sexist and a bunch of other things then stated that he was basing it on my internet persona then I stated that his guesses were wrong and his guesses sucked and I got moderated because of that.But that was just a point loss.

I've been moderated three times for talking about drugs. I suppose the moderations were fair, but it pissed me off because I looked back in the threads all three times and noticed that tons of other people had gotten in-depth about drug use (some far more in-depth than I had been), so that's the only reason why I felt it was unfair.

A couple of times. The worst would be when I got modded (and suspended) because a mod thought that I should "loose the attitude" I had when I was attempting to get them to explain why another post was moderated. I wasn't aware that I'm supposed to treat the moderators like royalty.
