Lol Ive been banned like 4- 5 times for trolling and sayig stupid shiet and I'm still alive. ALthough, they did say I had one ban left, but I was banned once more for 4 months and now I am back. Being more careful though. Took me 1 year+ to get in.

I don't know how can people get banned in GAF.

I received even a custom title but never come close to ban.

There is no oversensitive there... jokes are allowed... gifs too... FUN IS ALLOWED... it is completely different from here... you won't be banned for options and disagreements.

PS. I know how to get banned in GAF but it needs to reach a extreme case to this happens.

This is the exact OPPOSITE of what I've read.

Meh, it seems more like a propaganda site than a really gamer one.

There is some of that here too, but it isn't as bad.

Well when I open VGC I see how a propaganda site is... NeoGAF is not even close to that.

I won't tell you what happens when I open this site on my iPhone...

Does it get mad?

I don't really have a problem on my phone, but I don't get on that often because I like a larger screen.



 

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!

This is my experience... 0 bans.

The same type of comment I do here and got banned over 10 times in 2013.

The most thing I do reading GAF is laugh... it is so fun... to open and life like... it is the opposite from here.

What I like:

- The GIFs
- OTs of niche games
- Assessments of Bish-checked members (e.g. Abdiel, The Shogun, Cornbread, etc.)

What I don't like:

- Too much activity sometimes
- Overreactions (both positive and negative). Can be a positive at times because it does become entertaining to watch.
- The fact that GAF members can't differentiate between VGC numbers and the VGC forum.

It is the worst thing ever in terms of ads... it even auto redirect you to mad sites... it is a pain in the ass.

I think it is illegal too.

They suck. They banned me.

Seriously their mods are elitist assholes.

What did you get banned for?

Really interested now since you don't seem like the kind of guy that would post anything that actually deserves a ban.

For no good reason and there's no way to contest. The mods are given way too much power for how crappy they are. Every junior members are permabanned.

I probably defended VGC a few too many times and called out the hypocrisy that so many ignorant users on NeoGAF have towards NPD vs VGC.

So apparently I wasn't a "good fit" for the community.

Well, GAF mods moderate based on personal opinion, bias and favoritism. You just so happen to fit right in.

These are the mods that ban me here lol

I can say GAF moderation is really good... just get banned guys that needs to be banned because they are disturbing the flow of the thread or making claims without any evidence/support for that.

Everybody else will be fine.

You can make joke, use sarcasm, show your opinion, be biased... have fun.

Please...

I didn't say anything on NeoGAF that I wouldn't say here and I got permabanned without any sorts of warning or previous ban.

At least on VGC you know who's the mod and you're given a reason as to why you were moderated. And you're not permabanned the first time..
