And suspending me for ''Begging and/or Providing ROM/Warez/MP3/Cracks/etc''

All I did in the Thread was complaining about games prices. But the mods don't allow free speech.

Are they volunteers? Well, then I guess I can't blame them. Not being paid and having to do work I personally would find that extremely frustrating.

Praise and criticism are funny things. If this thread was of the latter variety this thread would have been locked by now me thinks. :) For the most part they do a good job, but on occasion they mod people for ridiculous reasons.

The only reason I post here is because the community is much bigger. Dutch (I happen to Dutch also) sites are much smaller in my experience. Not to mention I simply like the English language more.

we don't need them and I sure as hell don't want them. freedom of speech is one of the founding principles for this country and to have some elitest internet cop try to tell me what I can and can't type really irritates me, even more so if my mod'd statements are WELL within reason. you guys gonna mod me for this too?

I was suspended for a week for "harassing and offending other members of the forum" when I told somebody that he'll need a flame shield after he ranted how much Super Mario World sucked.

...But yeah, thanks for the good work, I guess.

yes and why does it censor itself?.... you think it has a mind of its own? lol..

The only reason I post here is because the community is much bigger. Dutch (I happen to Dutch also) sites are much smaller in my experience. Not to mention I simply like the English language more.

PullTheTricker

ofcourse this community is bigger. the forums are great here. Dutch sites are much smaller.. what does that have to do with it?

and you like english more than dutch.... okay...you talk english all the time then?....

cmon guys how would you feel if you were a bunch of cheeto eating neckbearded desktop junkies who volunteered to monitor a gaming website filled with a majority pre-pubescents (some mentally) on their free time, aka the mods. Give them a pat on the back.

10000 posts and never been suspended.....Mods do a good job of clearing away the junk to allow for more productive posts. I do wish that if something should not be on your record it was easy to get it removed. O' well not a big deal.

MMMhhh yeah, sometimes though the mods can do things that don't even make sense, but usually it's due to the glitches on gamespot. Anyways I guess they do a good job but sometimes things could be controller better or uncontrolled depending of the situation.

Yes it does. Most US forums bans profanity (OMG a word!) and a breast. You get banned for either, that my friend is US censorship.

If this is an international site then why does it say 'Gamespot UK' at the top of my screen?

On a side note: Do any of the mods own a PS3? I looked at Casey's profile when he said something that I thought was biased (can't remember what now). Since then, whenever I've seen a moderator I've checked their profile and I haven't found one yet that owns a PS3.

It must be hard to be impartial if the majority of the mods don't own one of the systems (an observation not a criticism before I get modded!)

I gained respect for the mods when I saw the way Casey got treated when he tried to involve the community in a decision.

They have a high tolerance level.
