You got banned three days two and a half years ago by a mod who isn't a mod anymore. This is also around the time you were making such comments as "I think all muricans are stupid at best and retarded at average and insane at worst". You've said many extremely political things since then, and have not been permabanned, or even regular banned for them. Probably time to make like Elsa and let it go. At any rate complaining about mod actions is against the rules and off topic, so anything further should be via PM.

I'm not a lawyer but this could very well be illegal under EU and UK law, and I hope the website admins and owners have considered this, since the site is accessible from Europe

personally, I believe all this anonymity damages the internet and the society in general, but since anonymity is what we have and on that basis people post, it has to be respected

to be honest I would support a global online identification system anytime - that would decrease hate speech and also safeguard children from harmful exposure to bullying, deception and premature content

Personal data is defined as...

"The data subjects are identifiable if they can be directly or indirectly identified, especially by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one of several special characteristics, which expresses the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, commercial, cultural or social identity of these natural persons. In practice, these also include all data which are or can be assigned to a person in any kind of way. For example, the telephone, credit card or personnel number of a person, account data, number plate, appearance, customer number or address are all personal data."

I don't think any of this data is provided to VGChartz unless the person posts it voluntarily, and nobody has to provide it in order to use the site. And VGChartz isn't making any data available to my knowledge unless a user posts it. Pretty sure the personal data laws are more for data you provide to a website in expectation it will be private. Otherwise, it would be impossible to comply. If you post something personal, and then someone quotes it in their reply, what exactly can be done? Unless VGC is responsible for somehow scrubbing everything personal you said that might have been quoted.

Not a lawyer either, but I am a law student. I don't really see any liability here. 

Can't defend what I can't remember. Plus I was giving him a suggestion. But your statement is out of context I think. 

Well, if you don't remember the circumstances, then you probably shouldn't be talking shit about what the mod team will do. And I shouldn't have to waste my time providing the context so that people don't get the wrong idea about what happened. Hence, why we have a rule about this sort of thing.

So, to repeat myself, "complaining about mod actions is against the rules and off topic, so anything further should be via PM." You got a warning, so next will be a ban.

You do know that the first comment was a joke. It's astounding how serious you took it and how you went in a direction that was not expected at all and it shouldn't have gone in that direction. You created hostilities that didn't need to exist. And if you want to ban me over that, I don't really care. It's really an art how you got to this point. Bravo!



Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also

I want my account to get banned too, I belong in Sega forums or Sega Discord Servers. I don't care for Political , corona , Movies , Sports , Many sales threads , I'm actually happier in Sega sites. I have a problem I'm addicted to this website. But, I do spend most of my time on Sega Discord . Though , Sega Forever Discord is my personal home.

You're just gonna come back, begging to be let back in.



...to avoid getting banned for inactivity, I may have to resort to comments that are of a lower overall quality and or beneath my moral standards.

i used to lurk here a while ago because i had forgotten my log in,well i found it now and imagine my surprise when i found out that you cant delete your account, why not?

if there is an issue with replies and post and stuff, at least change the usernames to a random string of letters and numbers and delete the info ascociated with it (email and password hash)

i dont understand the "just dont visit this site" arguement, deleting ones account is a simple action that should be mandatory in every site, what if you dont want your content to be on this site anymore? what then?

i havent posted anything other than this so i dont care(about the "content") i just want to change my name which i ALSO cant do

getting banned is a shittyway to go about thi too

cant there just be a time limit for inactivity and after it get your account deleted?(telegram works in similar way)

what a nice way to kill everyones privacy, and at the same time kill free speech too, whos to decide what is hate speech and what isnt? with time everything could become hate speech to censor everyone

maybe even(i dont remember the exact quote so this is the next best thing) "If control of language were centralized in a political agency, Orwell proposes, such an agency could possibly alter the very structure of language to make it impossible to even conceive of disobedient or rebellious thoughts, because there would be no words with which to think them"

what if same happens with hatespeech? everything is hate speech so you cant say anything, effectively killing free speech

like it or not hatespeech is included in free speech

as per the children arguement, maybe dont allow children to use the internet??? i was one of the children that you support to be safeguarded yet i support just not allowing children to use the internet instead of just making sure that such things cant happen and not even adults who are seeking such things cant discuss them for the sake of the children that shouldnt be here in the first place

like taking a kid to a stripclub, -you cant leave it alone in the house after all can you?-, and then demanding that the strippers cover themselves up, ruining the experience for everyone due to your bad parenting

extreme example but i htink you get my point

why let kids use the internet and gets their brain infested with brainrot? get addicted to it? find all that content you talked about and very easily get scammed anywhere?

the answer to this is better parenting and not allowing the internet to raise your child

simple as that

As a software developer, let me assure you that there are so many ways this might not be simple. Of course I can't speak for this site, and from a user perspective, it should indeed be simple.

Shame. With a user name like that, along with matching Toejam and Earl GIF, it's almost a crime to disappear!
