Hey, you don't gotta worry about me, man. I came to this thread with a legitamate complaint, and you banned me for having the "audacity" to politely voice it. I didn't insult anyone, and I was very cordial and civil. You didn't address me until after you banned me - and that was based on a post made out to another forum member. You still didn't address my original issue (but I was being disrespectful, according to you).

Here's the issue with these boards - and I'm going to say these issues without being rude or disrespectful. After I'm done explaining, I will happily receive whatever ban you guys will place on me. That's what you guys do best.

1) You moderators don't moderate. You censor. There's a clear difference between the two. I thought that perhaps I was going crazy when I saw how ban-happy you guys are. You guys label anything you don't like as an infraction. Rules be damned. Oh, and btw, Conegamer didn't moderate me for my quote tree. I only had 3 levels in my response. It wasn't anything overly ridiculous, but whatever. You guys will ban people for anything and make up any excuses you can to justify it. I'm not being rude here. I'm stating facts I've seen with my own eyes.

I've seen people make whole threads about how they dislike the way moderators treat them, and dispite how civil they're being, they get banned and their threads get locked - which leads into my next point.

2) You guys censor people's opinions to the point where no one can have an opinion. If I hadn't seen this for myself, I wouldn't believe it. Unfortunately, I have. I've seen a guy get banned for feeling as though Microsoft was lying about Sunset Overdrive. He was told that he was being a troll because "Everybody else knows it's not true, so he should've known it too." No Joke.

Any gamergate-titled thread is immediatley locked. Members have to sneak a gamergate discussion into threads or cleverly word the title of threads to have gamergate conversations. Any thread pointing out some of the contraversial things the moderators do is locked and the OP banned. Anything that the moderators don't like is banned or heavily moderated. It's a joke. Oh, and please feel free to correct me if you feel I'm wrong. I doubt I'll reply (or be able to reply). Anyway, what's the point of having a community when the forums resemble the freedoms offered in N. Korea? Perhaps it has more to do with accepting funding from the very companies you guys are supposed to be reporting on (this had been pointed out multiple publications I might add). Once again, I'm not trying to be rude. I am pointing out facts as I see them.

3) You guys don't address legitimate complaints. Period. I had one, and I was banned for having that complaint. I followed the OPs rules and offered my facts. That's when another forum member (not a mod, mind you) told me his feelings on the matter. I further elucidated, and I was told that I was twisting the facts. I used the wrong word in my original post. I said 'banned' when I meant to say 'warned' when discussing my first infraction from Conegamer, but I will admit that mistake. However, I wasn't banned for saying that. I was banned due to a reply I made to another member. The mod claims, "Oh, you didn't address your post the way the OP specified", except... I did, but I digress. I still sent a complaint email to that jojo.bo@gmail.com email, and never received a single response for all the other times I've been moderated. Not a single response. I've sent multiple emails for each time I was moderated, and nothing. Point being, Conegamer has moderated me multiple times for very small things that do not break any rule you guys have listed. When I say moderated, it's not limited to bans nor warnings.

Look, I've been civil. I'm sitting here explaining to you, as a human-being, what my problems are. I didn't call anyone outside of their name, I didn't yell nor have I shown any disrespect. I'm sure I will get banned, because anyone who complains to a moderator about an issue gets banned.
