Lets go through some of the 40 moderations over the past 12 months and see just how "omg so strict" the Mod team really is. |
| xboxgreen | Trolling (Excessive trolling in a short time span for a new account. No indications that user is going to improve their behavior.) | 200 | Shadow1980 | on 10 August 2025 | | xboxgreen | Trolling (So many problems. So many threads. So many reports. We are just jumping to 3 days. Too fast. Too contentious. Too many threads to point to for various problems. You are attacking people in Nintendo threads, political threads, and just generic gamer threads.) | 3 | Bandorr | on 14 July 2025 |
Is anyone willing to step up and defend XboxGreen? This user was only 1 month old and had already a dozen reports to his name, he had multiple users PMing the Mods about his behaviour. He was a troll in every topic of the Website and was highly suspected of being an alt. I know some people in this very thread who PM'd us about Xbox Green being an issue. | bonzobanana | Flaming (You haven't been moderated in a long time. But it's also clear that insulting people is against the rules. Do not call people retarded.) | 1 | Bandorr | on 06 June 2025 |
He straight up asked a user if they were retarded. Come the fuck on. No further explanation needed. | Hardstuck-Platinum | Trolling (You just came off of a 3-day ban less than 4 weeks ago for stirring up "console wars" nonsense, and once again you're doing the same thing, calling Nintendo fans "delusional" and generally trying to provoke people. We're stepping it up to 5 days this time. You're running out of strikes very quickly. Shape up or ship out.) | 5 | Shadow1980 | on 19 May 2025 |
We about to act like half the site isn't at Hardstuck's throat and constantly demanding we ban him? (This isn't a comment on what I personally think of Hardstuck). If we went by general consensus, Hardstuck would already be permabanned. | Libara | Trolling (I'm not sure why yo thought "Wipe whatever that is off your chin" was a good idea. It's not. If any of the many things it violated - it's just straight up disgusting. And has caught multiple reports.) | 0 | Bandorr | on 07 May 2025 |
Fairly self explanatory, Lol. | padib | Flaming (You've been warned multiple times already that you were on very thin ice with the Mod team. The only reason you were saved from a permaban in the past was due to an Admin needing your assistance with some technical aspect of the website. We don't need your help anymore, you aren't being protected anymore. You've been on thin ice with multiple infractions in the past from flaming users to multiple times whining about the Mods and utterly unhinged rants about some of us in the past in PMs to the Head Mod. Now you're once again Mod whining, calling us dumb, incompetent and flaming other users by calling them idiots, including ironically a Nintendo fan. Your attitude is shite, as you believe that you know better than everyone else on this forum which causes you to be an extremely condescending dude. The thin ice has just broken. Goodbye. I hope you're still praying for my soul for when the rapture arrives.) | 200 | Ryuu96 | on 04 April 2025 |
Dude went on an absolute meltdown and attacked multiple users, including Nintendo fans, in an effort to defend Nintendo, then attacked the Mods. This same user straight up told CGI-Quality in a PM that he would pray for my soul when the apocalypse comes and heavily implied I was destined to burn in Hell. This user made a thread so fucked up it was erased from the site. This user was only still on the website because a Site Admin needed his help and saved him from his last permaban. If I was some "crazy ban happy mod" I would have permabanned him about 3 years ago. But I left his utterly unhinged rant about me in PM slide. | crankberryjoos | Trolling (You bumped a thread over a month old to make a odd comparison to nazism. That just seems like spam.) | 1 | Bandorr | on 30 March 2025 |
Spam. | Esparadrapo | Trolling (You were banned from the thread and as a result of a moderation, received a Mod note detailing why. Since you decided to be a trolling smart-ass and edit the mod note out of your comment, and upon discussion with the Head Moderator, you have just earnt yourself a full ban. Let me just say, if you made the this post to any other Mod, I would have already banned you in an instant but since you made it to me, and I am involved in the debate, I usually opt to let cases like that slide and laugh at it. So you just walked straight into an easily avoidable ban because you decided to continue being snarky and to edit out official mod notes, I will draw the line there.) | 3 | Ryuu96 | on 16 February 2025 |
This user was being a complete asshole to Trunks and guess what, I didn't ban him, I thread banned him (for 14 days at that), I only then banned him when he started editing the Mod note into some absolute shite but quite frankly I should have banned him for being an asshole to Trunks from the start because Trunks is one of the nicest users who doesn't deserve that shit and holds the site up. | Phaeton | Other (VGChartz doesn't accept Nazis and/or Nazi supporters.) | 200 | Ryuu96 | on 07 February 2025 |
This crackpot said he supported Russia's invasion of Ukraine. You want these users on VGChartz? | BFR | Trolling (Simple one day ban. Do not respond with insults. Do not spam the threads. Have an actual discussion or avoid the person.) | 1 | Bandorr | on 24 October 2024 |
He accepted his ban. | kirby007 | NSFW (Hi, You're recieving this ban for the posting of porn on the Nintendo Alarmo thread. That's all. ) | 7 | twintail | on 12 October 2024 |
He posted NSFW shit in the wrong area. His ban was ultimately forgiven as a misunderstanding. === I could go on, but I want to play Borderlands 4 but if we're in agreement that this first batch of bans was justified, we're now down to 27. I could do more, but I'm starting to get into uncomfortable territory of talking critically about some users who are still active on the website. This first batch is mostly users no longer active on the site, permabanned or their moderations don't muster much criticism and are light (such as breaking the NSFW rule). But I'm starting to feel like I'm being forced into this by a select few users seemingly wanting to grind their axe against the Mod team because they've had confrontations with them in the past and thus trying to pin the "VGChartz is dying" narrative on a supposedly "ban happy" mod team who have also been told they're not banning enough by other users. Fuck me, we can't win. Folk make accusations about the Mod team but don't back up their points with any sources, when asked to clarify, they completely ignore it. Some of you just come across like you're desperately trying to turn the community against the Mod team and using this thread discussing VGChartz's decline to do it by trying to pin that on us. |
