I just got 2 warnings for calling out a moderator who was posting things like a fanboy. The person was posting negative things about a particular system on a news article that was about the rising cost of of development of games in general. Furthermore, I called for gamers not, repeat NOT, to be a fanboy for any system. And the moderator tagged me for trolling?! Really?! What's wrong with Gamespot? Aren't moderators supposed to stop fan wars on non fan war boards or news. Or is it the other way around now? I'm not sure how many people have experienced this here and I would love to hear about it. Maybe gamespot might want to screen the moderators more carfully.

I know this will get locked soon so lets see how long before that happens.

D@mn who watches the watchers?

It's not like being moderated actually means anything in the end.

Everyone makes mistakes. I've been modded for all sorts of things including quoting people on very conventional statements....

At least I got my account back after an unjustified ban so the system does work even if not flawless.

Report the issue to the admins if you have a problem with a mod; customer service... Anyways this thread doesn't belong here.

I don't think it was that big of a deal to get modded. Just kinda funny. I know the thread seems like it doesn't belong here. But I put the thread here b/c I wanted to get all sides of the story.

I was once moderated for responding "...?" to a joke i did not get.

This is of course nothing of value lost, but it is my most trivial moderation.

If you think about it though, not only did you get moderated for that, but someone actually reported you too.

I think a lot of moderations come from people who just spend all day long looking for things to report to up their user score.
