I'm interested in knowing other people's opinion about this... I'm a new member on vgchartz and something I've noticed, the susceptibility on this website is completely different of the ones I'm used to - not saying it's better or worse, it has its pros and cons.

Basically, I was just reading some posts and everytime I see a user who got banned, I'm curious to know what happened... apparently he called the OP a bitch. At first, I was like... "Why would you call him sucha thing??" And then I saw his comment... (it's the left one)

This picture made me lmao. The one at the right made another user get banned as well, even tho it's in my (innocent) opinion, simply funny! I won't post the actual link of the thread, because the mods locked it for a reason, and we must respect their decisions (the OP was getting a little bit too much hate), but cmon, the OP didn't care to write a text, or anything decent, all he wrote was one phrase bashing the sales on HD consoles. I'm sure there are many threads where you can say that, specially threads more appropriate - kind of useless to make one thread just about that, so these pics are completely justified. A warning would be understandable, a ban isn't =/. Feel free to post the second picture on this thread, I promise I won't report you lol

Another case, is a friend of my who got banned for having more than one user on this website, when in fact, his brother registered and gave his oppinion on the same sales chart... well the point is, he ended up getting banned, and the moderatores assumed it was the same person because they share the same point of view and have the same IP adress... that's easily explainable due to the fact that they're actually brothers - I know both of 'em, so it's not a lie or anything like that. This is a clear flaw, hopefully the mods will read the mails they've sent and realise what they've done.

 

I'm not trying to change things, who am I to make any demands? I'm a vgchartz newb. But I think bans should be applied for more extreme cases, and not just because some guy posted a pre-made pic... that actually made alot of sense =P. Please leave the hate outside, I'd cry if this thread got locked for stupid reasons. Just tell us your opinion about vgchartz moderation.

Out of every forum ive ever been on this is easily the most pathetic when it comes to MODs

Once in a GOW3 opinions thread i said it was a great game 8/10 but inferior to GOW2 and listed why i thought so. I got a warning for trolling. I couldnt stop laughing for ages.

The only moderation you have on record was for a racist comment in an off topic thread.  So I'm not sure I believe your story.

Probably the most strict gaming site, an opinion is now trolling. It depends on the mod though.



There is something seriously wrong with the moderation on this site. I mean I've only been permabanned by three of them! I mean how's that possible. playstation.com, now they have good mods. They banned me before I even posted!

Was on an old account before i lost my password and had to make another.



It gets the job done, but i would like to see it done with much bigger forum traffic. That's when sites go downhill, the moderation will eventually not be able to get all the trolling. For now its good, a few hiccups here and there, but it gets the job done, and that is all that matters.



If the 2 thugs in the above picture had the Sega logo on their costumes, it would fit

LOL j/k!

Perhaps an alt account? :D

Yeah, I just have a total lack of trust in people when they talk about moderations they've had.  Stems from when I permabanned someone by their own request and they turned it into a harrowing tale of his fight against the evil PS3 fanboy mod who unjustly permabanned him without cause.
