The situation was poorly handled by the moderator. Here's an alternate way to look at it: 1) tbone wants the correct title of a game in the thread. Seece's post above yours also shows what kind of person he is. No restraints in dishing out, but can't take it. Also, the claim that Seece harasses Nintendo fans can be backed up by Seece's posting history (look through the threads he created this year, it's an option that is available in the posting history). While individual threads are innocent on the surface, it doesn't take much to recognize a pattern. It peaked with Seece spinning off Nintendo's most recent financial report into five threads that were created within a couple of hours. One thread of note is the speculated 2015 release of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U; Seece goes to great lengths to make it look like a likely 2015 release and when he gets called out for his faulty logic, he is quick to attack other users and threaten with reports. |
"The thread in question has to be really wrought out of shape to be perceived as harassment of any kind of Nintendo fans, including tbone."
Did you miss that part that I wrote? Regardless of post history, we are talking about a specific thread here and a specific case and resulting ban.
As for the numeric list;
1: And the OP says that it doesn't need to be specified, I kind of doubt that tbone and perhaps yourself would have made any kind of big deal out of this if it were Metal Gear Solid V in question, which will have the Phantom Pain release as well as a mainline release. I can understand that some would be bothered by it for whatever reason but I still don't believe that we should automatically jump in and change OP's or other posts at the behest of dissatisfied users.
2: And that's his prerogative in this case, he didn't think it was a big deal, the reason he edited MK was that there simply is no such thing as MK10. If someone came into this thread; http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=183315&page=-1#1 and told you to promptly change parts such as "People like me who were always aware that the Wii U is a piece of trash" or "Troublemakers like noname2200 who love to troll and always get away with it"? Or someone reported this thread; http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=183130&page=-1#1 ? Just because you're "always joking", that doesn't make it okay (imo).
3: Like I said; we should edit other people's posts every time a user is unhappy with something? I think most mods agree with me that this case wasn't a big deal, as evidenced by the fact that it still hasn't been edited by any of the 15 mods in site and tbone's ban has not been overturned or questioned by other mods.
How many "joke" threads have you made over the past 7 years that baited users into anger and resulted in bans? I can hardly count them, getting "Rol'ed" is an actual expression on this site, which is part of the reason why I think it's peculiar at best that you, out of everyone, is taking this particular case so far and critiquing other people's post history and ability to rile other people up. I am not defending every thread Seece makes, I have no intention of that, but I have been discussing this particular thread in question as it was the case you brought up.
