Is it possible to not get moderated on this site?

no, ToU is such that it all depends on how anal the particular moderator is feeling that particular day, and whether or not someone pissed in his cereal.F1_2004

a whole heartily agree with u i just got moderated twice then

I've never been moderated. The secret is to keep your cool.

I've never been modded on this account so far, I was modded on my old account because I was 13 and stupid.

[QUOTE="BMD004"]

I've been moderated 5 times. The mods were wrong all 5 times.

You've had four moderations:

1. You made a thread about Inception in which all you said in your first post was "I saw Inception, and I had no idea what the **** was going on."

This was at a time when there were probably a good two or three threads on the front page about the movie that you could have posted in.

2. Your next one is merely a post where you quoted some censor bypassing and the moderator deleted it without so much as putting a bad mark in your history.

3. You made a thread on Off-Topic about playing Xbox Live. Game discussion belongs on the game forums, not OT.

4. You could probably ask for clarification on this one in Ask the Mods. I suspect it was the phrase "mm mm mm < the noise black people make." We often moderate people for posting racial stereotypes, but this could be borderline.

Apparently the letter "S" followed by the letter "H" repeated implying the want for quietness is censor bypassing. and I got moderated for a review I deleted, and the action taken was deleting it...:?

Five warnings, a point loss and a suspension.

Im doin alright.

Yeah, there are some users with no moderations and lots of posts. And in spite of getting into a lot of heated debates in years gone by, my history has only a couple of point losses, which isn't terrible for what is closing in on a decade of posting.

I get about one every couple days. Yesterday I got one for posting a name in Korean in the which celeb would you date thread like 10 hours after I posted it. Message to gamespot mods: STEP UP YOUR GAME...... seriously, you should not let people get away with that kinda stuff for so long....

I haven't been moderated in three years, I have six moderations. My boyfriend doesn't have any moderations, and he's been here longer than I have. *Shrugs.*ayanami_rei

Yeah, the moderation on Gamespot is simply awful. I honestly think most moderators flag posts depending on thier mood/own bias.It's a circus and quite silly, however; I have stopped caring because I hardly ever post anymore anyways.

It's not just you that's noticed it though, I'vespoken to people in real life that use to post on Gamespot and it seems to be a common consensus that Gamespot is run like a dictatorship. It's completely lame, but because it's a privately owned website, they can pretty much do whatever they want.

Ah, that seems likely. You would know better than I would because I've never been a moderator. It wouldn't suprise me for people to play the "I'm innocent" card though - always trying to save face lol

Is it possible for it to be a thread about moderations that doesn't spawn from a user who just got them? I think that's less likely than having 0 moderations ;pDystopian-X

I've earned every one of my 50 moderations... I used to honestly expect them before they even showed up in my inbox. :P I've tried to be on better behavior lately so it's been 5 months since my last warning, and like 9 since my last moderation. raven_squad

i got 2 for 1-word responses and another one for a sig some time ago

Just like IRL, behave yourself.

I've had moderations reversed, so no.

You got modded? No way

Of course. You just really have to watch what you say on these boards. Unless you don't care about getting modded for it, reread your posts carefully and think if it is a possible violation or not.MistressMinako

I've never been moderated, and honestly I've never found it hard to follow the TOU.

I just think before I post.

the mods really have their panties up in a bunch. would be awesome if someday they revised the board policies to stop catering to the 12 year olds and their grandmothers who may happen to be lurking the site. we are gamers, and most of us play "mature" games. this board isn't even rated T. it's a good thing the people here are interesting otherwise this forum would really suck.wired4stuff
