Well I'm about to leave GameSpot, pretty sad I voted for them in the Webby Awards. Had I known they single people out when it comes to deleting their posts. I had almost all my posts on one topic deleted, for what reason, not sure. I guess they're too afraid to say. Although another nerdy kid and I were getting into it because he misinterpreted what I was saying. Apparently the dip**** kids are aloud to say whatever they want. Pretty ridiculous and irritating that my posts get deleted, however inappropriate or off-topic they may have been, yet all of his remain, when none of them are on topic? I guess I didn't realize what used to be such an amazing site could be so full of useless admins.

And you're complaining about posts on shared boards moderated by GameFAQs mods... things we have no control over, where "did you report them?" rings about a thousand times more true than it does here, because if it's not reported there, the mods WON'T see it.

I did report it, every single post. Not a single action was taken on theirs. Apparently I'm not allowed to be off topic, but they are.

Then you need to take it to ATM, not here. And there is that god awful chance your post deserved moderation or was seen first by a moderator :o

ETA: And AtM only for moderations that were from GS, not GameFAQ's

Hey thanks everyone though, for being so quick and responsive. That's greatly appreciated. Atleast I know some other people around here listen, may not agree with me, understandable, you're all entitled to your opinons. I don't expect too many to have the nerve to speak against Game Spot on here in fear of losing their accounts. But again, I appreciate the quick informative resonses.

Yes, because there is a mod that sits there and reads only one thread at a time until the thread is on page 3

Bit of advice: stay away from the game-specific boards. GS users are treated like 2nd cIass citizens by most posters over there.

I believe what Mailer is saying is that if it is the GameFAQs policing that is causing you grief, maybe you should complain to them rather than to the site that has no jurisdiction.

GameFAQ's have never really like GS, for whatever reasons. But you can only be reported for what you post on either GF or GS, not both

No, about 80% of them are GameFAQs posters, which is why their mods are the only ones who can moderate those boards.

Meh. It's a bit confusing to me as well.



Basically, there are some boards that are "shared" by both GameFAQs and Gamespot but are moderated by the GameFAQs folks. On those boards, the moderators from Gamespot (like myself or Mailer) have no jurisdiction and don't actually do any moderating. These boards are the ones that we actually moderate. If the board you've experienced issues with is not listed in the ones on that link, then you're effectively complaining in the wrong place because we wouldn't be able to help you.

Y'know, this is in the wrong thread anyway.

Questions, refusals etc. about moderations go in Ask the Mods.

I'm guessing the reason for deletion is likely mentioned in your moderation history. If someone is trolling you, just report and ignore. Retaliating will only lead to you getting moderated. And sorry, but if you'd take the time to read the ToU, you'd see you're hardly being targeted. What annoys me about these threads is that people automatically bash the mods and admins without even trying to consider what they may have done wrong. While I don't agree with every moderation, I think the mods and admin do an excellent job of keeping the forums friendly, and having mods and admins is one reason I've stuck around so long. Honestly, maybe you need to find a different site to post at if this one doesn't suit your needs.

What Mailer is trying to say is that your complaining about moderations here, when you've been moderated by GameFaq's mods. If you're on a shared game board that's GameFAQ's domain, meaning you're complaining to moderators on GameSpot who never even saw what you were reported for.

If you're tlking about GameFAQS then I completely agree. That's happened to me a couple of times. This one time someone posted something insulting, can't remember what it was, but I said something like, "well, I could just say the same thing to you." I got reported and modded for it, so I asked someone why and a mod told me I shouldn't have responded at all and should've reported him. So I go back and report everything offenseive he said to me, which was more than just one post, and none of his posts got deleted. Over at GameFAQS it's whoever reports first gets catered to, anyone else is SOL, which makes me especially angry because I don't believe in reporting every single time someone saysy something you don't like. But like Mailer and others have said, GameFAQS=/=Gamespot.

Here you goEddie5vs1. Obviously it doesn't just happen to me. I agree with you about MODS and Admins, but ^ situation is exactly the same as mine. Pretty much the same wrongful comments were posted between both of us, yet I got hit for it and they don't. BUT now that I fully understand the territories I withdrawl my original complaint. I apologize but also thank everyone, especially the MODS who were in here for atleast putting up with my whining so you could make your point and explain what was happening. And I think I'll follow your advice, no more GameFAQ's, I'll stick with GS. Thanks again ladies/gent's. I really appreciate it.
