Can some mod take a look at the situation of my thread please? I already requested it, but the longer it takes to take a stand, the bigger the damage. Don't care if I get banned in the process, I just want the discussion there to be civil.

Thanks Bristow. And sorry about the "work faster" part.

lol wow, they'd rather endlessly spam permaban request when they could just take matters into their own hands and simply not post on the site if they truely don't want to.

I agree with Padib, I am kind of wondering how those comments were bannable. I am sure that there is some history there, but if history is being used against a user with a non related comment, then a whole lot more people are eligible for a ban, no?

Fixed for accuracy. "We" implies mutual agreement. Interesting how you're still supposedly open to discussing it through PM, but not in this public thread. Where it's discussed doesn't change the fact that according to you, the discussion will go on endlessly without resolution.

The participants of authority and the majority of users likely do find it is best to move on yes,this is no place to endless bicker about disagreements.

Also the way you did change that comment is misrepresentation and a low blow.

Worth adding on here that a) he *was* bringing good, valid discussion and b) he caused no ruckus or needless flaming. The only person who quoted him in the thread was Hynad, who coincidentally was the person who actually brought it up in here because he thought Pyro wasn't trolling and the ban was unreasonable.

If anyone wants to dig deeper just look at the VGC rules regarding Trolling, which should be used as the main guideline for users when constructing their posts. I'll snip them down to only show the three key parts.

TROLLING - Posts or signatures slamming a platform without basis - be it a specific console, macs, windows, or anything similar - will not be tolerated. This applies to specific games as well as consoles.

- Explain and justify your opinions. If you have nothing reasonable and/or relevant to add to a topic, then don't post at all.
- You have the right to express your opinion, if it is relevant, justified, and presented in a civil manner. 
- You cannot create threads, posts, signatures, etc. just to bait people of a specific fan group. 

As I explained in my previous post - He didn't slam anything without basis, he explained and justified his opinions further in other posts (a, b) and his opinions were relevant, justified and presented in a civil manner. 

I reiterate, it's in the communities best interest that a senior moderator actually explains where Pyro as Bill was trolling in that thread. As of right now with current moderator communication, as you can see from peoples posts here, it *looks like* people piled on reports because they didn't like what they were reading and the mod team didn't actually read Pyro's posts before handing out a moderation. It *looks like* he's been moderated for having a negative opinion of the future of PlayStation 5. That's not a great look for any mod team and clarification is key.

The Moderator Thread was created for these moments of clarity within the community, so moderators could address users concerns and criticisms while simultaneously guiding the rest of the community in how people should and shouldn't be behaving on the forums. Now's the time to answer concerns.

With all respect, things are escalating because no answers are being given to the community when it's a fairly simple question being asked. 

could you provide names?

Like this one, that depicts Nintendo fans as mindless drones? Nothing will happen, as this forum has a strong Sony bias.

Update: the post in question is now moderated.
