Why are there lots of repeats there ?

Many people who got banned more than once in the month. They're usually short enough that a more troublesome poster can potentially rack up several per month (though eventually they grow in length to the point where that becomes impossible).

Sometimes we accidentally double-ban (two mods strike near-simultaneously), though Barozi usually doesn't count those as more than one.

Are the mods Sony biased again? Hooray!

Yes, well that is what happens, isn't it? I guess it is unfortunate 2 "Nintendo" mods left this past month. Though, I still don't get why a tendency for a particular company is a bad thing. It shouldn't affect judgement. That, and no doubt in a week we will be Sony biased, Nintendo biased, MS biased and more. That's just what happens.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Do the bans add up if that happens xD?

Say for an example Mod A issues a 3 day ban and Mod B issues a 2 day ban - would that make it a 5 day ban or does it go from what the last/recent moderation did?

They don't stack, no. The system tracks only from the last issuance of a ban, and the way the clock resets, it doesn't track down to the minute or to the hour, so if we banned at the wrong time of day, a one-day ban becomes a three or four hour ban.

"We"?

Is there something you're not telling us?

I was kinda sad and surprised to see a few people banned on one of my threads. It happened so fast.

I didn't get to see what most of the wrote either.

Felt kinda bad about it I did. (Yoda speak)



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

Just bad phrasing this time, Im afraid. But it is true. One post or thread can completely change how people view a site, user or community.

Take gamrReview. A lot of people accused it of being Nintendo-bias, then they posted that Wii U article. Now it's the opposite.

It's always been ConeyG's not-so-secret wish to become a Mod. It was a slip up.

Conegamer simply cannot be given mod powers, because Luigi's Mansion 2. Thats why.

I still don't get this Luigi's Mansion 2 argument.

Was he really that bad at it?!
