To not get moderated, do you need to be a genius?

Being 100% mod-proof consists of these ingredients:

4% reading the ToU

30% being boring

16% being respectful

20% rehashing bland topics that never get locked

30% good old-fashioned luck

At least that's the way I see it.

It's pretty easy not getting moderated. Just don't say the forbidden words and don't insult other users.

I've done it all. I have washed duxup's car too many times! I'm not touching your Ferrari anymore!

And I've donated too much money to that 'we love moderators' fund. I could be spending that money on things that really matter, like video games and a big HDTV.

So, trust me, it's not worth it. I've done too many things I'm not proud of.

Ive learned everything through trial and error...I'd be level 50 by now, im sure, if I had actually read everything but Ive never been modded twice for the same thing (except posting funny pictures that were not allowed)

Just think twice before you post, then twice more after you post it... if something sound remotely fishy just edit it and hope no one else get to see it yet...

You just gotta be careful and that's about it..

Will... never... reach... lev... 30 :cry:

No...you just have to know whom's arse to kiss....Omni-Slash

On topic: I don't mind the moderation. It's the consequences of being modded that I don't like. I got moderated earlier for making a short post that had mostly capital letters. I got modded for it and they freakin dropped me an entire lvl. It took nearly forever to reach lvl 40. Now I'm back to mid lvl 39, which is pissing me off....

Don't have strong opinions, don't engage in discussion, be absolutely serious. You just have to avoid being controversial in the slightest. Doing so will make you boring enough to become bulletproof.

Of course not. You just have to able to anticipate how broad the Terms of Service are. Then again, damn-near anything can be fit into the "offensive posting" mold.

Finding someone here with no moderations will be like finding a small gem in a large haystack, nevermind needle.

It took me like 6 months to get past level 20...

Well it all comes down to the lure of the screaming raptor. If you can lure it then you can run free amongst the brambles of your time until the end of your days where you will meet the omen of light.

Really though, what are the chances of a mod getting moderated? That's so unlikely I'm not even going to try to provide a similie or metaphorbecause I know it's going to be terrible :P.

I have 10 moderations. 6 being warnings, 3 being point losses, and 1 being a 1-day suspension, which considering my level and post count and my time spent here, isn't bad at all.

No, you neeed to be 1- lucky 2-Careful 3-Know exactly some of the weird stuff the Mods don't like, and exactly who loves to tattle about ths silliest things. I said Retard once and got Modded. Hope they don't mod me for it again now.

One Mod got banned, don't remember the name, but there was a thread made on it, and it later somehow turned into an extremely disguisting porn suicide. One of the weirdest threads I've been in.

Some common sense, knowing when to bite your tongue, and understanding sarcasm doesn't translate in posts as well as you might think.

Epic answer, +1 to duxup.:lol:

I am asking for everyone's opinion on this, what do you think it takes to not get modded? Do you think you need to have an IQ of over 150? Do you think you need to have a good connection with the admins of gamespot? Or do you just think that you need excellent reading comprehension skills to understand the ToU in every single interpretation? Do you think we need to somehow raise the lowest age of gamespot users which could allow more acceptable material?

What is your opinion?

Thats so funny - I got moderated replying to a thread from you.

Looks like someone got trolled even thou I was replying directly to you. Funny thing my original post was deleted but it was quoted and that has stayed.

It seems that someone just goes along looking for posts to report -Reporting user(s) received good mark- I suppose I will get modded for this.

protip: Don't post anything that can be considered questionable when there's new mods. They tend to be very trigger happy.

Also ignore tattletales, if at all possible. Honestly I think some mods moderate because they keep recieving complants more than it's against the TOU.

if you don't want to get modded, don't quote D3nnyCrane.

:lol: you quote denny?

Just read what you have wrote before you post. Look at it as if someone else has posted it and think of all possobilities into how it could be read. If 1 possibility is that it could be offensive then it will be taken as offensive and moderated.
