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.

Yes, but I believe if you bring something to the open, it will be discussed. Unless the mods go stop/this is not up for discussion right away. It would be an awful forum, if someone said something and you cannot rebut them in anyway.

This behaviour from QR to Rol is unacceptable. Learn a thing or two about respecting other users.

Quickrick was already told this wasn't the place to complain about his bans, and that the situation was being looked at by moderators, that was the end of it. No one's opinion here was needed.

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.

I disagree, because one of the key things that is highlighted on what should be discussed is the following "I'd like for this to be a discussion about moderation in general.  Things we should be moderating and things we shouldn't.  The overall direction."

Carl was commenting on Amy's banning and why it was questionable moderating message and was a bit unclear, not the ban itself.

Thread is open so that anyone interested can critique the mod teams decisions and try push them in a better direction. Moderators and general forum users are open to agree or disagree with anything said here, it's up to the mods to decide when a discussion is no longer needed or pushes beyond the boundaries of reasonable discourse. The OP directly states that this is a place to discuss things which should and should not be moderated. Miguel's post after the unlock states that we are open to discuss things which will make the community a better place, as well as welcoming constructive criticism and feedback.

Nobody has said anything out of turn or against thread rules, other than quickrick.

Edit - I'm not sure why the font has changed in my post. Fixed that up.

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.

 

Carl said:

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.

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.

Now we have an example of how not to use the mod thread and attempt to argue against a ban, seriously guys, we aren't joking about being more strict in here, now let's get back to topic. As CGI said he will take a look into QuickRick's complaint to decide whether it has any merit/If we should have been more clearer on the ban note, so time to move on.

I was just going to reply to all the posts above but now I'm not sure I'm even allowed. After reading Carl's latest post it sounds like i am but reading yours it sounds like I'm not. 

 

Can we get clarification on this situation. The waters are merky.

Where do we find the email again? I remember trying to find it once and I couldn't. I haven't looked much since.
