fair enough
I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg |

I got a warning because people thought I was trolling on a forum. Didn't have a drop of profanity or anything in the comment. Was a genuine comment. Got another warning because I was supposedly flaming someone as well but another comment that straight up insulted the poster was fine. I don't get the mods. *Shrug*

Think I've gotten a couple warnings I've disputed before, getting one waved. Got one validly for flipping the lid before. :p
Also been banned once after arguing with a person and ended up talking with a moderator. Ban got lifted and other person got banned.
Problem for me is more that it feel like the report system gets abused by some people. If they pose an argument and get responses they don't like, they report them and it seems there's moderators that don't exactly do their due diligence before commiting to the reports.
EDIT: Actually just looked at my mail folder and gotta say all three events, the two warning and temporay ban, seem entirely bogus, especially since I still recall the context in which I posted them. Being called on trolling after quoting someone and explaining they were trolling a topic, then another that's considered thread hijacking even though I was pointing out someone else had ran off topic.
There was some really missed due diligence there. As the size of an explosion increases, the number of social situations it is incapable of solving approaches zero. - Vaarsuvius |

I got a ban for trying to be helpful.
Someone said they did stupid things and didn't know why.
[mod edit] This is why nice guys finish last I guess... |

HAA! I got one for comparing people that dared speak out against Guild Wars 2 to Jimmy Hoffa and how, you know, they might just end up vanished if they keep that blasphemy up!
That Guild Wars 2 login screen knocked up my wife. Must be the second coming! |

It isn't what you say, it is how you say it. Some of the posts in this thread make it easy to see why the posters have been moderated in the past.

On an slightly related note: is it even possible to check if a report led to a warning, as in either the reporter orreported got warned? In other forums, it does clearly state in red letters when a post has led to a warning.
If it isn't possible, I suggest it being possible so that people get more of aware of what is ok and what isn't okay more accuretely. |

The most recent example was by one of your Dev's posting a review of an information specialist ie: Foggy Bottom type Mr. Smith Killed by a Goon Squad in Lybia. Ive had posts removed, warned and banned by your mods for anything remotely polictial. Your mods are and have been to heavy handed for a long time.

Originally posted by Elsabolts I forgot to add this was a Post from your Dev on Mr. Smiths playing EvE. It would seem trying to get ahold of some of his cohearts at Langley before his death as it looks his employer the State Department was ignoring them.

Make your own forums then or follow the rules of the ones you are signed up to.
This isn't a signature, you just think it is. |

I recently got banned due to.
Some guy posted gw2 has more bots than actual players (among other nonsense in an Anti gw2 diatribe) For posting something along the lines of "lol more bots than players, really?" I think there's a luck of the draw depending on who's moderating at the time and what games they like. |

Sure you can, it's all in how you word it and the tone you choose. Saying that, I do hate getting warnings and even bans for 'relatiation', even when I am calm about it... especially when the original post goes unmodded lol :P

Originally posted by Kyleran The moderation of MMORPG.com seems to be very, very lethargic, and VERY "MMORPG.com" orientated. There DEFINITELY seems to be a property bias. What I mean by that is that the mod team seem to be mandated to deal with MMORPG.com-specific products - their staff, content, etc - very strictly. If, for example, you provide a criticism aimed at a writer for being shortsighted, or you point out that a piece of content produced by a certain staff members (they do a lot of streaming) was incorrect or prone to error... you'll quickly find yourself with a nice little warning. This mentality also seems to apply to certain game properties. The RIFT, Guild Wars 2, SWTOR, Eve and others all seem to suffer heavy handed moderation at the best of times. The problem is that the MMORPG.com staff don't seem to stick to their own set of rules with any form of consistency, and they don't seem to really care about accountability. They certainly aren't a group that buy into the "respect is something earned" philosophy, at least not in terms of them having to earn our respect. I also don't think that MikeB is, and this is an entirely professional criticism for him to mull over, very good at his job. I think he deals with the community in the same way an accountant might deal with a spread sheet. I don't think he understands the nuances of community moderation, and certainly he (and the entirey of his team) don't involve themselves in the community to any great degree. Generally I only see MikeB posting when he's telling someone off or responding to the frequent criticisms MMORPG.com employs him to shrug off. I just don't trust in his abilities at all, so I don't think the MMORPG.com community is ever likely to be a well run or pleasant community to take part in. |
