Forums - General - Public Banning Announcements?

I'll show you exactly what he said if it makes you feel better:

Me: This a warning for saying "You're an idiot for choosing a 360" to somebody. Your opinion or not, we don't call people idiots around here...next offense will be a temporary ban.

Him: Go SHOVE IT!

Not really what he said that matters...just the fact that he obviously doesn't want to be agreeable or friendly. No need to keep somebody around if they don't have any respect for the rules and the moderators.



LEFT4DEAD411.COM
Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Just so you know, truthsayer's been banned for telling me to shove it after I gave him a warning for calling 360 buyers idiots.

Ah - the perfect example. Thank you for making this public, Ben. I'm sure there are numerous people who come to this forum that didn't realize telling a mod to 'shove it' would likely result in a ban. Perhaps this message from you will educate others on what not to do in a community forum.

Let me guess, he was also a Sony-fanboy too, right? YOU ARE TEH BIASED!!1!one!!! Wii fans are ALWAYS allowed to tell you to 'shove it' and it's only the Sony fans that actually get moderated! **cry**

/sarcasm :P


Am I being mocked?  Why don't you just shove it, Talon.  ;)  (j/k, I can take a joke at my expense.)

Back to being serious, yes, you have a point that it's usually the same people complaining about the biased mods, but new ones do crop up.  Basically any time someone feels ganged up on because their opinions are unpopular and starts misbehaving, and gets a warning for it, they feel they're being treated unfairly because the ones disagreeing with them don't get warnings (because they're usually doing it nicely).  You certainly can't cure that by making public announcements, but I think every bit of visibility still helps.

The reason I didn't answer your question before is because, like I said, it's not about me, and I thought it was clear that I didn't have a problem with any particular banning.  But, if you want an answer, no, I don't feel anyone has been banned unfairly, but there have been several occasions where someone was banned and it took me quite a while to figure out why, and a few that I just never investigated because I didn't have time.  There have, of course, been an equal number of bannings where I thought, "Thank God."  :)

 

Anyway, thanks for listening.  I would PM ioi about the issue of multiple accounts, but I know he's already aware of the problem and is working on it, just like he's working on the report post feature and all the other things on his plate.  The reason I chose to focus on this issue is because it's something the moderators can do without waiting for ioi to update the code.



You know who should be banned? Neos. Shes a troll. Go look at most of his replies in the Sony forum, most of his replies are trolling and fanboyish comments.

@Carlos: Since when has leo-j and GT jumped on people whenever someone says something good about the Wii. In fact, whenever they say something positive or giving an opinion on the PS3, a bunch of you wii fanboys all go like monkeys and jump at them.

Ban me if you like, I'll just create a new account and use a proxy and etc. Yes this is my first post and I've been seeing all of this nonsense going on through this website. I know about Hus, jjseth with the super hitler world (hilarious though), etc.

AND IN B4 YOU'RE HUS, BLUE, GBALLZACK, ETC.



Why is GT gone?



Leo-j said: If a dvd for a pc game holds what? Crysis at 3000p or something, why in the world cant a blu-ray disc do the same?

ssj12 said: Player specific decoders are nothing more than specialized GPUs. Gran Turismo is the trust driving simulator of them all. 

"Why do they call it the xbox 360? Because when you see it, you'll turn 360 degrees and walk away" 

I just wonder, if I tell myself to shove it, would i get banned? :)

Nahhh, I'd probably hurt my own feelings and eat a tub full of rocky road ice cream while crying because my ps3 and xbox360 make my living room so hot that the ice cream melts before I can eat it all. :(

My pokemon brings all the nerds to the yard. And they're like, "You wanna trade cards?" Damn right, I wanna trade cards. I'll trade this, but not my charizard.

I (Baff) seemed to have gotten banned today, but I have no idea why. As far as I remember my only posts here in the last week were about 40GB PS3 release dates. I did make a few posts a couple weeks ago, but I don't remember them being terribly offensive either. I didn't see any warnings, or even anyone responding as if my posts were offensive. I am very confused.

None of my posts were in this forum, they were in the weekly sales charts, etc., if that makes a difference.



My prediction (Jan 15th, 2008), total sales by end of 2008: Wii - 35 million X360 - 25 million PS3 - 21 million

Nah, I'm not that popular. Maybe someday. lol

 You know why Gballzack is so popular? Because of the hot photos she put in her profile.

So go put your hot photos there!
