I have been a member of this board for many many years, since back in the beginning though this will be my second account here as the first account got banned for something I admit was my fault.

Fast foward to present day, and I am just not sure I want to be part of this site anymore.

Don't get me wrong, I love the community (as strange as that seems). Very few sites on the web have such a diverse grouping of die hard MMO lovers as MMORPG.com all with opinions that range from the fanatical to the cautious watcher who never post for fear of retribution from troll society. It is nice.

My problem isn't from the community but those that "govern" the community.

If I took a screenshot of my inbox right now you would see some random question from a guy about DAoC and about 20 mod warning over various things that are usually pretty mundane and stupid to say the least.

The one I got last night however, finally broke the camels back for me.

One of the mods posted a new thread about adding Blade and Soul a new game from NCsoft to the gamelist for all the MMORPGers to go and start talking about.

Which is cool cause I have really been wanting to discuss this game as it is the next game I am truely anticipating.

I make a post about how hyped I am that this game is added and look forward to the games release.

The next post made is some goon whining about "How come blade and soul gets added to the list and fallen earth which has been released for 2 months isn't there."

(This post was actually ok with me, even though the thread was not intended for this discussion which by the rules of the site would be hijacking a thread or derailing a thread for a diff purpose but whatever)

I reply with "You mean people actually play that game? What is this world coming to?

Which was ment to be a joke only, it's not a bad game really I just thought I would poke some fun to lighten the mood.

INCOMING MOD WARNING SYSTEM!!!! YOU ARE A TROLL AND POST EXCESSIVE NEGATIVE COMMENTS 

OR BAIT FOR NEGATIVE REPONSES!!!11!11!

Grrrr this pisses me off so much, because I actually started the post on topic, when the next 5 post after mine was all sarcasm to the mod who posted it, saying how come this game isnt there then, and you might as well add dragonball Z then cause its a korean game... and on and on derailed, bs post about why the game they are following isn't on the list?

Do these asshats get a warning or ban.... nope....

Just me who said something intended to be funny and always seem to get the heavy handed long arm of the interwebs law cast upon me.

I posted this topic here in the off-topic because it says that this forum is not moderated, however somehow I don't see this post lasting the end of the day. Ironic.

So I think it is time for me to seek out a new MMORPG board with mods who have common sense.

It has been truly fun and an honor to post with all of you throughout the years. Take care all.
 

I would have perma banned you on the spot. Nah kidding, I received a warning once before over almost nothing but nothing excessive like that.

Another member didn't like something about your post and reported it.  That community you love, or at least one of it's members, doesn't like you. You can see how long I've been here and I've never received a warning or ban. If you disagree with moderation you've received because you think the cause (some member you may have pissed off a year ago) is wrong use MMORPG.com's Contact Us link and discuss it rationally and without emotion. Bringing it to the forum only opens you up to further moderation. This time for actually breaking the rules of conduct.

Those who don't get reported won't be moderated. Personally, I don't try to figure out if one member was insulted because of another member's comment to them. I'll let them take care of it.  If you feel a reply you got violates the RoC, report it.

Oh, and this forum is moderated. It's a little bit looser here but that still relies on other member's allowance of what is posted. You post a referral link and I'll report you myself. Even if you do it in humor.

How do you uninstall something that is not on your computer?

He's going to can his account and stop coming here.  That's how.

There is a nice feature on your profile - a radio button - Delete this account.

I know its tempting in light of recent poor moderation but the shame is if you return.

Really that is a good follow up, clever given mmo's and very snarky!
