Good ban and you explained your reasons perfectly fine, What i want is the ban hammer swinging even harder to stealth Trolls, simply Trolls and those Extreme Fanboys/haters of a particular brand that spread non stop hate and Trash talk in the fóruns non stop , they been doing it for ages and we all know who they are but they mastered the art of shit talk and been dodging hard bans for years.

Are you requesting bans for yourself? You have a habit of making drive-by posts with blanket accusations in this thread as well as others, such as accusing the people who signed up for VGC's Supporter program doing so for the purpose of being able to cast additional votes in the comment sections of articles, because they are such big fanboys.

Considering your questionable judgment, when you say "we all know who they are", it's not exactly clear who you are talking about and refering to.

Well, the "we all know who they are" is typical lingo if you have a weak case, because clearly naming stuff you mean would make it easy to take your argument down. By talking "we all know who", everone assumes someone else and a lot can agree.

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.

It has “a strong Sony bias“ when looking from a point of view of someone with a strong Nintendo bias.

Sucks, but that’s pretty much it.



I think the only bias is against Stadia. Which is good. It allows everyone on the site, except for Barkley, to have at it with the:

- Flaming
- Trolling
- Ill will, ie: Stadia conference interrupted by terrorist attack, sinkhole swallows Google headquarters, comet strikes the Earth ending Stadia and all life ( those were just me).

I look at the banned list often, and everything seems fine to me.



If we're moving on from the previous discussion, I'd like to thank you CGI for actually answering my queries.

You didn't mention any names when you claimed that nothing will be done to posts like the one you linked due to a "strong Sony bias".

I know the names involved in discussing your report. It was me and one more moderator.
I'll leave their name out because I haven't asked them if they're ok with me showing our discussion.

I only play on Playstation 4, while the other person primarily plays on Switch iirc.
Yet the Sony fan was the one that suggested the harshest punishment. While the Switch fan argued we should be more lenient.

Did that live up to your Sony bias expectations?
Depending on who we talk to, we get accused of being biased in favor of Nintendo fans or Sony fans.

Having an open discussion about moderations is quite rare on a forum like this.
But making false claims you know nothing about is not how to 'offer some critique'. More posts like that may cause this thread to get shut down.

So if you want to participate in here again, then please keep that in mind and reevaluate your approach.


P.S.
If the person hasn't been in trouble for say 11 years, and we decide to only give them an informal warning through PM, then depending on the moderator they may chose to not edit in a "user was PM'd" note to cut them some slack.

Thanks for the transparency, that is appreciated.

As a background: I answered to ClassicGamingWizz's post and this was just the most recent example on my mind, so I linked to that. Also it seemed kinda fitting, as for me it was similarly condescending as could be interpreted for Pyro. But adding the forum has a strong Sony bias was over the line from me, so I have to apologize for this sentence.

It is kinda difficult to recognize from a normal user, if a low-level moderator action like keeping an eye on it happens. For an observer this can look like the same offense is handled differently, as this behind the scenes escalation is invisible. It leaves the impression that comments like these are acceptable. Dunno how this could be resolved.

Replying to each and every report that gets removed from the queue would be a gigantic pain in the arse for moderators. A lot of stuff that gets reported has historically not really been worthy of any action, and unless we have far fewer reports coming in now than previously, it would just be a waste of time for moderators to reply to each report that gets removed.



                            

take a look at the ion fury thread on resetera, saying you would buy the game ended up in getting you banned, thank the lord our mods are a bit more levelheaded

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 am not on resetera, why the hell is declaring buying a game ban-worthy?

Oh sweet Jesus yes. I don't spend any time there, but things have been brought to my attention over the years...I was once ( indirectly, among a group ) given direction here on VGC to cease lambasting that site, due to the fact that we have some cross-membership. It's a disgusting cesspool, and an online embodiment of my disillusionment with what some of the left has become. I always thought "I couldn't be more left", until part of being on the side of the "left" became being just as much of a bigot as the worst elements that embody some of the right.

The left used to hold the moral high ground. And they did for a long time. It was something to be proud of. No longer. That's been pissed away. So here's the part where I delete what I want to say, and say I'm deleting what I want to say. Again though, yes. The mods here live up to the meaning of the word "moderator", unlike the petty, small minded tyrants at resetera.

Currently on my 7th IPA.

Yours truly, Tyrone Bibbons, esq.



You guys are very confused. The word "Moderator" in moderator thread refers to our moderators, not the ones on Resetera XD.
