Last straw for me, my topic was purged because I used the less-PC word for mentally handicapped when referring to an aspect of a videogame.

The mods here are obviously overweight, pigskinned beastaloids who have nothing to do but fondle themselves whilst moderating the heck out of everything thats posted. Admittedly I never used Gamespot for its reviews, because they are, of course, trash. However, I found the forums to have a modicrum of intelligent postings at one time or another.

I'm moving on to greener pastures, i.e. forums not dominated by the aforementioned slurpee gobbling turkey's who rule this piece of cyberspace with an obese thumb.

Voila.

It is insensitive and offensive. Saying something is retarded is assuming that people with mental retardation will always make stupid or dumb decisions. Retardation =/= making a dumb decision or even stupidity, it just means that a persons mental capacity is not as strong? fast? as someone who does not have a mental handicap. Personally, I don't think it's really wrong to say it among a group of friends though, as long as no mentally challenged people are around to be offended by it. Since this is the internets though, you can't be sure who's browsing and usage of the word should probably be prohibited if it's used in a derogatory sense.

Do you honestly think that a mentaly handicapped person would be on the internet on a forum which you have to send your email just to post on?

I could see if he called someone a retard but he was referring to a game. I wholeheartedly agree that that mod went to far. Some mods take the whole god complex too far. Bet you they're the same people who manage a McDonald's. Such an easy position of power to get into.

I'm sorry to see a user go due to a moderation, but it is in the ToU under one of the words not to say. But nevertheless, the 360 forum isn't the place to say goodbye. Please keep these relegated to your blogs. Again, sorry that a moderation has caused you to leave.
