I've only had one, and it was the first time I've ever been warned on this site. I wanted to cry :cry: :P

Just read it. They don't really bother me, being banned would probably increase my productivity so i guess it could easily be a benefit.

It's usually a frustrating surprise. I don't get modded often, but when i do it always seems excessive. The last time I was modded was the first time in two years, and they took away about 110% of my level. Seems a little much, since I've been suspended twice in several years.

Go "Oh ****ing God..." and go to other sites for a while. Except for the couple I actually deserved; those don't bother me.

I've received only one, and it was reversed.:)

Chances are you won't receive any, if you click "Preview" instead of "Submit", and think about whether or not it could be offensive in nature.:P

I break out in uncontrollable sweat and worry, as the cold realisation penetrates my heart like a rusty blade that this black, putrid mark festering away on my record means that my career as a high flying gamespot moderator is over before it even started. Though last time I had one I was more interested as to why it didn't say anything about the moderation and referred to a message that hadn't even been moderated

When I first started posting, I got some for not censoring my profanity, which is fair. Then I got one for typing something quite offensive on someone's blog while quite drunk, which was also fair. The rest fall into varying degrees of absurdity. My favorite one was where a mod decided I'd made insulting comments towards the American military. I'm a member of the American military.

If it's one of the ones I did deserve, I take what they say on board. If it's for a stupid as hell reason, I'll have a laugh at it.

Same here with me, but I usuallysigh about three times. Initially when I get it, a second time when I read it and usuallythird time since usually the moderationwas notnecessary. Somebody is just having some fun being a prick at my expense.

Post enough and you'll start getting them. The trick to avoiding them is by not sharing opinions or attitudes related to something controversial. Otherwise some troll or some other goober that wants to punish you will track and stalk you for something to report. OR one of the rogue moderators will start harassing you indirectly via moderations.

Yeah but what's the fun in that? Just like with life. You aren't exactly living if You never do something that is not allowed by the elite or society. Then You're either a perfect fit, or a slave more so than the slaves of the past (a slave in being, not just body).
You're right, You'll get moderated at some points for saying the right things. It's no biggy. We just have to remember that our lives don't depend on a forum. People these days are way too scared.

When i get a message like that it makes me angry, but only for a second until i realize that it is human. When i do something wrong someone could just tell me. But because of the nature of humans and the size of a forum, they can't take that risk with me. I can't expect to be treated like a human on a big forum or by a big company. It's like this everywhere.
And then i just move on. I don't even want to discuss the moderations. Usually they are missunderstandings of what i meant. I don't feel like it's worth arguing with those people. They live by a set of rules, they have to. It's a different kind of world that i am not a part of. A rough transaction in which everyone loses from time to time. At times it can feel unjust, but that kind of system is everywhere in this world. If You want that to change, it will take a change in culture.
