what's up with these new mods? i was basically banned by PwerlvlAmy for 10 days for no reason, other then trying to have fun with predictions.

I agree with you but you should have used the email to dispute your ban if you didn't. This thread isn't for discussing bans, that should be done via the email or now you're unbanned pm'ing a moderator.

I’ll be around for a little bit today, so I’ll have a look at this. However, as Barkley noted, remember to use the email for contesting bans and issues with moderators.

yea i'll remember next time. i forgot about the email for some reason, thanks.

quickrick's ban note was as follows -

(Hello. You're receiving a 10 day ban for Trolling/Baiting. Baiting other users with i told you so and constantly poking them with a stick always gets you in trouble. You've been warned time and time again to quit with your antics and to stop trolling/baiting users,yet you dont listen. Please shape up this time,otherwise I feel your time here might be getting shorter.)

For this post - http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8910064

---------------

The reasons given for the ban would indicate that Amy didn't read the thread and just banned quickrick because someone reported that post. Now, quickrick is right to be confused, mainly because she missed what he was really up to in that thread. Instead, she should have banned rick for his outright lies and misinformation about Nintendo downgrading shipment forecasts and counted it as concern trolling, which lead discussion into a mini flame war. 

Originally pointed out by SpokenTruth here - http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8910188

Nice summary of events (and quickrick's general behavior) by TruckOSaurus here - http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8910395

---------------

In short, there would have been no confusion if the mod team would just ban quickrick for the shit quickrick does.

sure if you ignore context.  nintendo does change forecast, i was trying to say that one time they shipped 300k WW WiIU's, yes WW shipped not sold FOR THE QUARTER and they kept there 10 million forecast so its gonna be impossible for them to change the switch forecast that was my point, even if switch only shipped 2 million they would not change it.

regardless that wasn't the reason or post i was banned for, so nice try.

maybe i'm missing something, but how are you defending me by saying she should have banned for outright lying? Even is i was wrong with my information someone can correct me , and that's the end of it.

He's defending you by saying that you had a right to be confused about your ban due to the ambiguous combination of ban reason and post link.

Of course you deserved the ban anyway. And no, it's usually not the end of something if someone corrects you when you are wrong; your habitual denial is the reason why threads go off track.

who cares what you think, nobody asked you, keep dreaming about being a mod, and keep getting rejected.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Well looks like Quickrick was antagonised again, correct me if I'm wrong but we're not supposed to be discussing the bans of other users here right? Suddenly everyone decided to jump in and say why he should be banned.
