Casey's Guide to not getting moderated (Version 3.0)

what if you report someone for clearly breaking a rule and their post doesn't get modded?Zero5000X

be patient. it will be dealt with. if it's something like porn, then you could PM a mod who's online.

Does "hell", "damn" (or any other variant), "screw", count as inappaproprate language?

as long as they aren't used to insult people, they're okay. just don't go overboard.

How about taking someone's quote and editing it and after editing the quote and writing "Fixed" at the end?

yeah. don't do that.

Are you going to lock this thread and make this sticky a permanent one ? Seems like a good way to at least cut down on some of the moderation's in this board.kage_53

eventually it'll be referenced in the stickied rule thread. i'm leaving it open for further questions.

If your gonna mod people for quoting more than 1 pic... or any other new rule here, Why not add it to the TOS since we are linked to the TOS? Would save an angry poster much headach trying to figure out why he was modded.Shattered007

because rules can vary from forum to forum. that's why at the very beginning of the ToU it says to read the stickied threads.

Why is PC mentioned here? Its NOT (1) a system from one of the big 3 nor (2) at 'war' with a system from the big 3

What gives?

Seeing every post I do in the FEEDBACK forum gets locked, I'll try it here. I'm a no nonsense guy who tells it like it IS every time, without regard for the consequences. (I once told me girlfriend to hit the treadmill because she gained a few pounds).I get moderated, warned, suspended time and time again because I have a very CAUSTIC/sarcastic tone. It's who I am. I am not a nice person.But, I get suspended for things INSTANTLY as I watch people carry on for days and dayscommitting the same "offenses" that got me suspended. It seems I get suspended because of my disposition. I never troll or flame or use obscenity, so why do I get picked on? Is it an offense to be the biggest A-hole in the world?

The bottom line is that there is an inherent flaw in your system. One look at the rules should CLUE you in. You wrote an entire TOME with so many rules and sub-rules and exceptions and this and that, that it is laughable. Look at the the IMMENSE number of questions from members. We are CONFUSED as to what we actually can and can't do--and so is this site (as evidenced by its lack of consistant moderation).

A better question would be, "what CAN we say here?" I think it'd be a much shorter post.

Ps. I'll be expecting some sort of reprisal for this post. It happens every single time.

Mr_cheater_1

you can say whatever isn't against the rules.

In your new post "Regarding this forum and the PC" does that mean every console vs console thread is not allowed anymore?

I have a question? Can I use some funny fail pictures when a thread deserves it?Giancar

not by itself and you'd better have a thorough and correct explanation for what's wrong with the thread.

LOXO7

those are still allowed.

So in the rules of SW thread at the top of the forum it says you can only quote on picture. In your rules to not getting moderated it says don't quote more than 2. Which one is the correct on?

Lol, stealth edit, I noticed that :P All right thanks, I was confused for a while about that.
Another question. Is there any rule about the size of a sig? (if its a gif I mean)Some sigs take riduculous amount of time to load and slow down a page.

Why can't we talk about Downgraders, Emulators, Flash Cards, ROMs and Homebrew?

zyrumtumtuggerm

they're not allowed anywhere.

I know "/thread" aren't allowed. What do they go under in terms of reporting?nintendoboy16

disruptive posting.

I know this has came up before a few years back, but what of creating a new thread and just posting the link within it (no added detail, no user opinion, just the link)? I know it was frowned upon a few years back, but I'm just curious to why it's still allowed?Stevo_the_gamer

it's still not allowed.

What does "/thread" mean anyways? I see people doing that, yet I still have no clue what it means :P

AmayaPapaya

it means "thread over"

Although mods may think fakeboys are offensive, in reality everybody loves to hate trolls. Notice how when a notorious one goes people generally miss them? What's the gripe with fun?
