I have never been to a site that claims they need moderation as much as this one... Honest question... Why so much? Is it the crowd? I've seen flame wars.. This web site is tame. Too many fanboys? Are video games that sensitive?

It's mainly tame because of the mods. Otherwise it would be like any other forum where ya can't have a decent conversation without it turning it into a shit show.

While we're on the topic of people continuously downplaying and attacking a certain platform while uptalking their own.

Time for someone new to get the Kerotan treatment. This hate on PC has been going on for a while and he has been banned quite a few times by now. Why not let him taste the banhammer from now on at the slightest trace of baiting? It's even made easy by the fact that the thead title is a complete lie and specifically constructed to bait people.

edit: Another recent thread that only exists to take shots at Microsoft.

I could dig up more but he made his user profile conveniently unavailable.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Since when did I get my own thread?

Anyway I'd like to protest my last ban. I'll get to the actual ban later but first I'd like to protest the ban length. I was banned for 7 days despite the fact it was almost 5.5 months since I was last banned for trolling. And way back then it was only 5 days I got. I should have only been banned for a day this time.

The last actual ban I got was in this thread and was almost 4.5 months ago because I refused to listen to Carl when I was going on about how biased the mods are against me. That ban went under other and not trolling.

So first things first *if this ban was legit it should be reduced to 1 day or even just a warning.



Oh my God, this thread has entered my dreams. In my dream, I wanted to right a post about how the mods were a bit too lenient on Rol

I didnt really take a long look at these threads Vivvy, but I mean, you are not exactly innocent in this game of downplaying other consoles, especially Nintendo.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

The general rule of thumb is that you've got to be without a moderation for six months and at that point you only get a lower penalty than following through with the progressive system. Your slate doesn't go back to clean.

In your case, five days is the lowest you could argue for.

No I've seen in many times posters not get banned for 2 Months+ and their next moderation goes back to 1 day.  if the 6 month thing was the rule then you'd be perma banned from here a long time ago.

Both of these things can be objectively evaluated and you're wrong on both.

Good man. BTW see the way you've been obsessed with me on here the last week?  Like you've got some kind of vendetta/obsession with seeing me banned.  I'm aware your last ban was a reply to me.  Just so you know I never reported that post.  A mod can verify.  

 

It's just you've been quite ruffled regarding me since you returned. And from what I can see,  you should be ruffled at someone else.

Most other places are cesspool filled with 90% of childish trolling and flaming. 

We don't want that here.

It's gross out there. There was an article with a link to Gamingbolt posted here a few days ago. Although I usually never click on any link to that site, I did this time, and while there, looked at the comments. Holy shit. It was teeming with the worst kind of posts from what appeared to be regular users, as they obviously knew one another. Trolling. Flaming. Personal insults. Punctuated with plenty of lols and roflmao. If there is any kind of moderation there, the line that needs to be crossed for it to come into play must hover somewhere around the level of nazi child porn.

The spectators want a show, so I am here to provide one.

Do you honestly believe that my stance towards you has changed in the last two weeks?

Yes.  You've always been annoyed by me,  but since your last ban it's become an obsession.  

 

It's funny how we've got one guy who spends half his time on here role playing as a moderator and then you got another guy who's the subject of all the talk but actually contributes a hell of a lot more to your average threads.  

 

Comg thread has been very quiet the past week and since I left media create had barely any discussion.  I boost the posts in those threads by creating discussions based around cold hard facts that people either love or hate.  I should be made an ambassador not moderated.

You should let the mods speak for themselves.
