Just wondering. :) I've been modded twice, for disruptive posting... One was just a smilie, and the other was just a sentence in French, and apparently we can only speak in English.

That's what happens when you're too lazy to read the ToS and you argue with fanboys for 8 hours while at work.

I was modded twice on the same day. I don't agree with why I was modded the second time (since other people have not been modded for making the same types of posts), but I did deserve it the first time (although it was a minor four language offence).

I am very careful nowadays. I don't want to be modded again.

What do you mean "modded"? You mean suspended? I don't know what you mean, but anyway I'm pretty sure I've been suspended over 10 times, most being times I've been gone for five-day suspensions.

Yeah same here, I don't know what these points or levels are. If I every found out (I guess they want you to treat your Gamespot account as some ego opportunity), I have a fealing it's something I don't care about. Anyway, now that I know what the topic is asking, I'll have to say this has happened to me millions of times. What's scary if you get modded for something and you feel you were just a hair's width away of that being a suspension.

Every so often I get modded, I ask repeatedly for an explanation of what exactly I did wrong but I never get a response. GS is all about selling add space these days, they don't even pretend to care about users opinions anymore.

What I find frustrating is when there's a mistake with what you were modded for, and they disable the ability to message people to ask them if you can come back for a bogus suspension. For instance I've been suspended twice for things, and the reasons why I was suspended listed someone else's username and something I DIDN'T EVEN WRITE. Yeesh...

Yeah, but who cares? It's just the internet. Once they pass the hundred or so post mark, they're pretty much the same as everyone else.

lolol...it was mainly for trolling/disruptive posting, but I'm laid back. so far I've only been moderated once this month. lolol

btw, you shouldn't sound so excited/taken back, it's not like you have the responsibility of handing out the moderations. I think the lackluster performance that Italy has shown in Euro 2008 has affected you negatively. lolol

21 times. Although most of them were just Disruptive posting, "nothing" chosen as a consequence, and straight up bs in some cases.
