  Thanks GameSpot!

  I had a bunch of stuff I was saving up to post about, but after something that happened today... I wanted to take a moment here and say thanks to GameSpot.

  Why the thanks? Well, I was moderated today. I went to the "Ask the Mods" section to investigate the matter a bit further... and after politely inquiring about the moderation, I was given a very short, borderline rude response. I find that weird because I have seen "regular" users suspended or banned for being rude to Mods. I guess that's only a one way street. This incident has only confirmed what I have long suspected... And to make matters a bit more frustrating, after a swift response from the Mod, my thread was locked... leaving me without any chance to reply. Dare I make another thread about it... I may be banned. As a paying subscriber here, I would think that I would at least get a little more than that... I have been a dedicated and contributing member here at GameSpot for a long time. I really think it would better serve GameSpot if they paid a little more attention to what their Mods are doing. It was clear that my "infraction" was very much an accident, but that was not even considered. Rude reply, thread closed and game over. I can see more and more now why folks are jumping ship and heading over to GiantBomb.

  Congrats GameSpot... you just lost another member.

  An Emblem For VinceL

  something i made for our E3 emblem hero... VinceL. maybe the GameSpot staff will put it in his profile. he has certainly earned it.

  

  Mr. Fix It!

  This emblem is awarded to the Hero of GameSpot for coming to the rescue of those unfortunate GameSpotters who did not recieve their E3 2009 emblems. Whether scanning through hundreds of missing emblem posts or dealing with wacky server logs... VinceL was always on point. You will always be our emblem Hero!
