got banned for calling kirby's epic yarn gay, using the "f" word...That's all I got :/

are you sure thats all that happened? so your telling me if i call halo3 a game i really hate gay i'll get banned?

Pretty much. I called kirby's epic yarn a pretty "f"ggy game and boom suspended or banned or wahtever. I'm guessing it's because the "f" gay word is used as a deragatory term for a certain group of people or whatever. I'm pretty sure I didn't verbly attacl anybody but teh game itself.

worst ban ever. well if kirby epic yarn was fuck'n gay then thats wht it was. a mod can't ban you for your opinion about a game thats just stupid. i'm shocked the ban wasn't overturned. 

I thought so too but I was fairly new to this site so I didn't know what the heck had happened. Anywho, it was just for 3 days so it didn't hit me too hard. I learned my lesson though haha :D

@Rol, well put. Still my opinion was pointed towards the game, not a poster, so I assume it was alright, nobody would get too crazy about it, but goddamn was I wrong. I really didn't mean to say gay is bad or awful, I just use to describing certain situations and/or things as gay. It's a mistake I won't make again, that's for sure.

lol

well in hindsight it was a bad bann cause you referrenced noone in it. banned for an object that has no feelings, race, or gender hmm! the plot thickens?

thats a whole nother topic.

its still an unjest ban. calling a game a name has no barring on a group of people who may be called said names. 

So if you say that a game is gay,and you mean it in a bad way,doesn't that mean that you insinuate being gay is a bad thing?

nope, but i understand that others and mod's may fill differently which i can't help.

any word can be used to insult like if i said Halo is a girl/woman and mean it as its an inferiorgame does that mean i should be banned for i'm likely calling women inferior cause under the surface i'm calling girl's/women a name, or if i call Halo a cunt, does that mean i should be banned becuase women have one and they may be hurt by me using that word in that context?

wht about cigarettes? can i say anyone that smokes is a dum ass? i mean i'm talking abut a group of people right? does that constitute a ban?

now i'm calling Kane & Lynch dog days which is a game that sucks a cigarette does that mean i should get banned because the commen consisnces is that people that smoke are stupid/dum ass? god i hope not cause that would be stupid.

hel i likely wounldn't comeback. gett ride of the bad seed that dares call Kane & Lynch a cigarette.

shouldn't be banned or warrned cause i'm refurring to nonone.

That is true, but I personally don't view gay as a bad thing. Again, I could have worded myself better, but really I just meant the game itself is just girly and way too pink and delicate looking and it just looked like hello kitty through up all over it, in my opinion.  I don't wanna say the mod was being sensitive. It was pretty much like saying, "oh that movie? yeah it was pretty gay." Thinking on it now, I think a warning would have been more prudent, then again I never read the rules so i don't really know what is and isn't tolerated, other then trolling, personal attack, blah blah.

Mine was just a few days ago for too long of a sig so I had to shorten it.

I am guessing those 8 games were in your sig?

Yes and in addition I had a pic from the Skyrim game at the top saying it was at the top of my purchase list. I just removed that. I would hope that my sig is to standards now see as how some user sigs are at my length or longer.

The strange thing was is I have had that sig for over 2 months without getting a warning then I got a moderator message stating my sig was too long and at the bottom it said:

banned: 1 day

EDIT: I just looked at my Mod history. I must have missed the mod message I got in July warning me to reduce my sig size. Well now I know I guess.

Rules! wht rules? i've been around VGC since 2007, and a memeber for a yr and the only rules i know about are no trolling, flaming, or calling someone a fanboy.

i haven't read the rules either(as i'm sure most haven't)but your situation was just crazy.

are you the same guy i just resently told his sig was to long?

hey mod's if your listennig we may need a notification system for getting warnnings as many posters seem to miss there warnnings.



First off, I would like to thank Mr Ryan Spurgeon for inviting me to share the hardship and trials I delt with in my last Ban.

Segaforlife didn't like me making a big sig that tried to spread hope and peace with blue skies on the horizon. I challenged the dude to a mixed martial arts fight to allow me to keep the big sig.I am a Brazilian jujitsu black belt and Kick Boxing Brown Belt. Sega is known for his wrestling and good ground and pound game.Though Sega is a true pacifist at heart, so instead he decided to ban me for a day  to avoid bloodshed.








In truth, I made a big sig to spread my message of peace. He banned me. Someone decided to unban me early. All is good in the vgchartz nation.
