Exciting things are happening and I'm excited.
Except for the Smeags part, obviously.

I think we should give a wildcard Moderator position to one of our permabanned members.

Just want to bring up a place I've been seeing with more active trolling. Some stealthy, some not so much... I know it's not directly linked to the forums, but i'm glossing over some of the comments in some of the sales pages and I never see some of the comments get moderated. Some of them honestly should get moderated....
Here's a small example from here
There probably have been moderations there, but I don't see them that much. Just wanted to throw that out there! Thanks!

Wow, that's the most trolling on a game I've seen since Super Mario 3D World's bombing.
| banneduserinquiry said: Truckosaurus banned me for 10 days. The last time i was banned I emailed the mod team on the listed email for when you have an issue with a ban and want to contact. I got no reply so this time instead of waiting for the 10 days to be up i made this user so i can actually get a reply. I posted in the thread called - "What's Up With The Loser Mentality for XBO (Coming from a sports player)" The opening post said: What's up with Xbox Fans Loser Mentality? I played competitive sports at a high level (region 5A Georgia) and moterately high level (D-2 in college). If we were losing ALL YEAR and beat a Sorry Team Once or Twice, we WERE NOT HAPPY AND CLAPPING HANDS AND BRAGGING after those games. So why are XBO fans so happy about the potential to win Nov and Dec, and then get markedly outsold again next year until November, December? And not only that, I doubt it will win worldwide ANY WEEK? So winning US is now like winning a championship (being overall sells leader)? My coach called that a loser mentality. I agreed and still believe that today. By the way since Destiny won't be interesting again until Dec. 9th and Driveclub has issues I play my XBO MUCH MORE than my PS4 at the moment so don't dare call me a fan boy. During the recent by 2 get 1 deal at target I got 6 xbox games. My gamer tag is PoonieG4 for those interested. This is my first Xbox and i love it. [snip] The opening post can say xbox fans have a loser mentality, basically calling them losers because they are not used to winning. No ban for him. |
Had the opening post just said "Xbox users have a loser mentality" he could have been looking at a ban but he actually took the time to explain what he meant by it and while I don't agree with this kind of thinking (i.e. that you should only celebrate being number 1), I saw it as someone expressing his point of view and not someone trying to piss off Xbox fans.
That being said, the thread was a touchy subject and I agree with Mr Khan's action to lock it.
| banneduserinquiry said: My reply to the thread was: Born losers tend to celebrate small gains. Xbox was last. 360 was last and now their small gain is beating the Wii U to finish the gen is second place. SO they celebrate their small gain. ~ Mod Edit ~ This user was moderated by TruckOSaurus. "Branding people who celebrate the Xbox's gains as born losers is certainly not acceptable.)" ~ TruckOSaurus [snip] But I have the cheek to say the xbox console has always been one of the losers so they (as in the xbox brand) celebrates it's small gains. Nowehere did I say xbox fans and if I meant that I would have said it. But no, Kowenicki reports me because that fact really annoys him (not hard to annoy him) and what do I get? A 10 day ban. EDIT: just to make it clear - I was clearly talking about the Xbox when I said born losers. Unless every Xbox fan was born the day the Xbox fan came out and become fans of the xbox on that very day of course. Which I doubt. |
The OP was talking about Xbox fans so naturally your comment reads as if it's addressed to Xbox fans as well (since you're adding your input on the OP). That's the way I read it and that's how it was interpreted by two different users who reported the post. Re-reading I'll concede that it "could" be addressed toward the brand.
So with that in mind, I'll be reducing your ban length to 7 days to give you the benefit of the doubt but let me give you some advice: be careful how you word things going forward. You're on thin ice and the quick moderations you've accumulated in a short amount of time mean you won't be getting the benefit of the doubt anymore. That includes taunting Xbox fans on game walls.
Signature goes here!

I really don't want to wait close to 30 days to say this (It's too long!), so I'll just do it now (You can ban this account afterwards).
If some of the mods haven't already noticed, I am Nintentacle. I am writing this to explain why I think the ban I received from Mr Khan is ridiculously silly.
The description for why he banned me says, "Making one more of these single-issue threads despite my very clear instructions the last time you were banned. One thread per religion. The tone in the OP suggests that you just don't give a damn so this is well deserved, but you get one more chance after this. Quit it with these nitpicky religion threads.".
He did give clear instructions not to do it (And to keep it in a thread already opened, one thread per-religion), but its stated as if I didn't regard what was said an did it anyway. That's not true: I didn't remember it. Who should except someone to remember something said on a video game forum 20 days ago without being reminded?
Secondly, I wouldn't call it spamming (Mr Khan put it under spamming). Spamming is making lots of short replies, or repeatedly saying one thing a lot of times. I don't think I did that.
On a side note: I don't think it was a nitpicky thread. If anything, claiming that verse 12 is a prophecy of Muhammad is nitpicking.
Anyways, I don't think it should be "Warning, ban, ban, ban, ban, ban, ban, perma-ban", but "Warning, ban, warning, ban, warning, ban, warning, ban, warning, ban, warning, ban, warning, perma-ban."
