it was a sales thread not a political one.

Either you win or lose, either a marlet is for you and you sale most or its not.  

Okay, let's talk sales. The Apple iPhone is the most popular brand of smartphone out there, the Samsung Galaxy is 2nd. Is the world anti-Samsung? Of course not.

sammy phones out sale iphones dont they, either way the world woud be more pro Ip then sammy.  

Whoever is on top is not important, the point is that being second doesn't mean people being against (or anti) that company.

In the end, your comment was a jab at Microsoft and given your history, you don't get any leeway when it comes to those kinds of comments. In the future, refrain from those types of remarks and you'll avoid moderation.

By actually being factual. Like saying "Microsoft is behind Sony in every territory".

That rule is no good. Here's why:

1. "Jega is a try-hard."

2. "Jega is a person who puts a large amount of effort into achieving a certain image to the point where it is obviously contrived."

Number 2 is a copy-paste of the definition of try-hard, but it will not be moderated, unlike number 1. What good is it that humanity came up with descriptive terms when VGC forces its users to write out the full definitions?

If it forces our users to be more thoughtful in how they target and try to define a user, then I'm okay with that.

In the end, the matter is so subjective that it would become a mess. I could be a fanboy in someone's eyes just for supporting ______ console. I could be a troll in someone's eyes for agreeing with a more negative review. I could be a tryhard because... I'm a tryhard.

Folks think that with "bad" users, they need to police them themselves through naming, shaming, or what have you. But the thing is, they keep giving the mod team chances to put them away. It's only a matter of time. Report them and let the mod team deal with them.

That's where the mod team comes into play and has to decide if something that has been said is justified. Since you already have to identify what is trolling and what is not, you should also be able to judge if somebody is really a fanboy, troll, try-hard or delusional. If you aren't up for the latter task, then you shouldn't be handling the former either.

But as it is right now, mods ban people for things they agree with or cannot deny.

Afraid you're just going to be disappointed then.

I am since years. I'll just have to hold out until Carl becomes head mod.

You and Seece both.

(And I do agree that Carl is a great mod, so no complaints here.)

"Permaban - Other (Requested. And this time he won't be coming back.) ~ Conegamer"

Huh?


Also when a user is permabanned, it'd be nice if their profiles were made public. That way simple questions like this would just be on their wall.


That was my previous account...

I didn't even realize you switched to a new one!

 

See, more reason to make permabanned user's profiles public.

We don't have that power though (at least I don't).

You can change profile images and sigs, so I just assumed you guys also had access to the rest of a users settings.

We have full control of signatures but for avatars we can only remove them (not add a new one, that would be funny though!).
