Originally posted by DarkPony Originally posted by MMOExposed *Originally posted by m0lly* *Originally posted by thamighty213* Biased mods is all it comes down to. I had a spate of warnings for practically every comment I made a few year back everyone was removed. Wasnt trolling just had some strong opinions on what AOC was doing wrong and the fanboi mod didnt like them. yup, ive got warnings and temp ban for just posting my own opinion, and the thing is fanboyism is the thing if your opinion differs from that your trolling , hating or whatever. That's rules of the Internet. It gets worst on fan site forums. Games like Warhammer and Guild Wars 2 don't have forums, so they use fan site forums instead. And the mods will ban you for saying anything negative. I think the best thing to be before posting negative criticism, would be to ask if it's ok first to post negative criticism. the "Constructive Critism" rule is nonsense, because who determines what's contructive or not? That's were opinions come in, because to some people, anything negative said about something that they like, it automatically considered as trolling It's not so hard really: A. "THIS GAEM SUCK!" B. "I hope I am not offending annyone with this but I honestly feel that this game could have been better, had they implemented insert aspect here in a more balanced way. I've made a chart with the available metrics to illustrate the problem. Also I added a list of solutions so this game might be improved." Slightly exagerated but you get it. Again you can do that for any game and still be ban for trolling. Anybody here remember the old warhammeralliance forum back when Warhammer Online was hyped up? What about the old AoC forum during the hype? How about Guild Wars 1&2 forums. If you say anything bad about the game you were branded a troll. I remember once out of excitement before the Guild Wars 2 guru forum, I was posting on the old Guild Wars 1 forum about Guild Wars2(before it was hyped up like it is now), and I said in a positive way, that Guild Wars 2 look like it's a free to play WoW. I was called for trolling. Unknown to me, calling anything WoW like is considered trolling from a community made up of WoW haters like Guild Wars has. yet the ban hammer came. In Guild Wars 2 guru forum I remember getting a warning, for arguing with a MoD who said WoW has bad lore. Which i disagreed. Lol. Mod said clearly in the post, that anybody who doesn't agree that WoW has bad lore, must be a troll. Another mod deleted my response and the other mod's post after I replied that the mod shouldn't be a mod, because he/she called me a troll for speaking my opinion.

Originally posted by Icewhite It's not what you say, but how. Nope. I remember getting a ban on Warhammer allianc because I said I thought the animations look bad from the media videos during the hype phase. Mods ban what they consider trolling. What defines Trolling is all on subjective opinions. A troll may be anybody that come to a from and say something bad about it. The only time it's acceptable to attack a game on the forum, is when it's WoW that people are attacking on that forum.

Originally posted by Metentso Old accounts are frowned upon here, for some reason beyond my understanding. The older an account is, the more expectations there are for that account holder to know the rules. Possibly. It's impossible to derive objective information from personal anecdotes.

Between this and the utterly negative tone of this forum, I wonder why I even bother.

You've been here for the last six months over in that Bioware category. Maybe "trolling" consists of distortions designed to create a conflict...lord knows we've seen tens of thousands of them recently. Too old for this, am I.

I have been banned a few times for "personal attacks" or whatever they called it. Bleh, the people deserved it, so whatever... That Guild Wars 2 login screen knocked up my wife. Must be the second coming!

Originally posted by Souldrainer Let me just say this... nearly 7 years here.. ZERO legit violations. Mods who have enacted "violations" against me have either gotten fired, or the ones who reversed them got rewards. MMORPG.com, check your shizz. I state my opinions strongly, but I am no troll FFS. Sanity check pls? I think I got 3 a couple of years ago in the old AoC - WAR - DF wars. 2 of them were for answering rudley to someone that got banned themelves. But I can't say they was unfair to me, I deserved those temp bans by sinking to the same level as the flamers... You might think the TOR thing is bad but it was really worse back then. Insulting and personally attick other forum members should mean a temp ban, no matter how right you might be. It would lead to a nasty forum where anything goes soon. Omnce in a while do someone get banned unfairly but the mods here are just human being like the rest of us, they can mess up as well and some cases are kinda borderline.
