I posted this in the ask the mod section. I did not break and terms of use but how many think this will cause a ban?
I love it when forum moderators on Gamespot filter and finger messages that somehow point at some negative aspects of... the news articles posted, hardware problems, self promotion, and anything else that might catch their eye. You don't have to break the rules within the terms of use to be a victim here, just post something that one of the mods does not like or be on their list of non-likes. I believe that your moderators are being bias towards an intelligent discussion and unless your thread title is this (is metal gear 4 the co0lest ever), you better watch out, you get a warning! It is apparent you do not approve of me because of my race, political views, or ability to provide a compelling argument that can blow anything you have out of the water without breaking any terms of use policy. I had to pull my premium membership because every time I would post anything, you guys would send me a warning message or filter it no matter what the comment or thread. What does that do to your business? You have a member base that is underage and cannot give you any money. Now, I go over to G4 or IGN and they have intelligent discussions and a good sense of humor. I post a comment on an article about Rock Band and I get, "message not related to article." No, it is related to the article but being the non-paid (hall monitor type) domain ruler you are, the message is blocked.
In the end, you are chasing all of the adults away. You filter all of the constructive feedback that developers can use and blind everyone with propaganda from advertisements. What ever happened to the beta access and HD video? Now everyone gets it no matter premium members or not so here are the benefits of Gamspot:
1. Excessive moderation
2. A bill to pay every year
3. Harassment from the non-paid staff
I know I will be perma-banned after this message and I didn't even break your rules with it. We have to move on to better things, like spending time outside and breaking away from the oppression.
