Having looked at the situation, I can understand some of the gripe, but I also see why it lead to a moderation. I'm not going to detail your history, but some of it does contain specific infractions related to Nintendo (and/or its fans).

Take these words from your previous moderation as an example: "I'm not claiming anything about lacking variety and nothing to play. I was talking about myself. It offers nothing to play FOR ME. Damm, You're the Nintendo warrior all the time, relax. You're quite annoying to be honest. And, no you're absolutely wrong. All in all, Nintendo has so many draughts, it's not even a joke anymore. Since Wii days. Every year, Nintendo has huge slow periods of 4 to 5 months. That's me claming now.

Nintendo is the queen, king and lord of draughts". 

In regards to that specific topic, what you posted was antagonistic, inflammatory, and off-topic. The bold part(s) are especially bad. I personally don't get the need for stuff like that. Regardless, it added a mark to your history, and because it was recent, it carries that much more weight as a result.

Your latest post is another generalization of Nintendo fans. Throwing in the "ps stuff can kiss my ***" (as a continued means to highlight Nintendo fans in a generalized light) just capped it off. It was unnecessary. The posts you quoted, while borderline in some cases, don't carry the weight nor history of yours. I agree that no company should see any form of unwarranted attack, but context is key here.

Now, I have seen others say that we are protective of certain brands (Nintendo often leads this), and it may need a closer look from us, but all that is a side step to your specific situation. I get that you are frustrated, but the moderation stands on the basis of the sum of all parts involved. 

So, is it about my history, right?

Two questions:

If I get antagonistic against EA, I'd do ok so far, since I don't have any previous ban with inflammatory content against EA? If I post that "EA is the queen, king and lord of draughts", would it be ok, since I don't have any history of antagonism with EA?

If I say that Nintendo is lazy and all about gambling and making money, would I get banned because of my history? That's why those didn't get moderation when they said the same about EA?

About the protective of certain brands, I'm not side stepping. I'm just accusing VGC team of moderators of being protective of certain brands, particularly Nintendo. Your next reply might be "Do you have any evidence?". No, I haven't listed them, but yes, it's a thing that absolutely need a closer look from VGC leaders.

I'm hesitant to butt-in, but I'm quite sure comments regarding the platform holders, Xbox, Playstation, and Nintendo, are held to a different standard than comments made about developers and publishers. If for no other reason than said comments tend to be much less likely to rile people up and create tension and conflict. That's not to say that the big 3 can't be scrutinized. How it's done, and who's doing it counts, as does the validity of the scrutiny.
