I got some moderations (point and level loss before new GS),suspended thrice =P
I BLAME 'KORVUS AND MASTER_LIVE' lol !!!
Whats your moderation history (if any) on Gamespot ? Share your dark side OT :)
This topic is locked from further discussion.
I got reported by a cow because he didn't like what I said about his precious vita and told him he was stupid for turning a customer a away from buying a 3ds because he believed it was the weaker system. He should have taken his sales commission and been on his way.
The reason for the post being deleted was because he said i slandered him. What a wimp.
it used to be pretty bad
a mixture from off topic and system wars
gamespot forums are pretty boring now
The violation consisted of an insulting term in a debate in the Off-Topic board. The violation is as follows, with the most offending portion in bold:
you people are ******.
Well this wasn't directed toward OTers really. This was directed toward all of the people who shared the same view. But somehow I still got a moderation for it...
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
You have been suspended 1 week for calling another user a "fucking idiot."
I didn't call nobody a fucking idiot. I said "fucking stupid." which are totally different things. But again I somehow got a moderation for it...
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
ÙŽÙŽIn any case apologies to those offended by my language.
Both of these violations are nearly a year old I guess.
Not really from Gamespot but I been getting into trouble on another game site gamerevolutions and I been giving a warning. This was back in 2009, I was being smart at the mouth with one of the moderators and staff on there review games I didn't approve of and I was giving a 3 days suspended.
Is there a moderation list anymore or do I have to go off of memory?
This is what I remember at least
>Exceeding five quote chain (SUSPENSION) This was shortly after I made this account so I guess they wanted to show me how things are done around here or something. And it sure did.
>I wrote something like "How can you even call yourself a gamer with that attitude?" on some X360 fanboy's blog. (POINTS LOSS for "trolling") Blog in question was was going on about how it sucked that a certain PS3 game got a high review.
>Mod took a hissy fit because he thought I was going off topic in thread he personally made. In any other circumstances nobody would have given a **** but when a mod makes a political thread it's the most serious thing ever. Multiple moderations and SUSPENSION Power tripping at it's finest. I almost complained to admin, instead I quit Gamespot for a year.
>Writing "WARHAWK" (all caps) in a thread where everyone giving one word responses to the thread title. I guess the caps made it disruptive. (Not sure if it was points loss or just a warning)
>"Trolling" Atheism Union even though leader was trolling back. Maybe a 3rd user got upset? I think everyone's posts got removed and I got a "STOP TROLLING THIS UNION" demand and if I remember correctly a points loss.
>I said something like "Take it to System Wars you fanboy!" on the PS3 forums. I guess that was when "fanboy" was considered a slur? I don't remember whether it was points or a warning.
I feel that by not letting us see our moderation history anymore Gamespot is taking away part of our heritage.
Well got one warning about posting in spam forums.
Really? They can do that?
Well they did. Though it didn't count as a strike.
Been warned twice for saying two words that really aren't that big of deal but I won't say it again in case I'm modded again.
Got modded for saying a company was in damage control back in the old days, only bad thing about the pre rules update here mods were way too powerful and never wrong
Suspended twice. First one was for insulting someone or saying something stupid, I can't remember. The second one was because of a pitiful attempt at account suicide where I basically b!itched about some users being fvckwits and posted a broken porno link. Thank you Mailer_Daemon for not banning me. Still get a laugh out of how big a B!tch I was that day. If you count all the accounts I made to dodge the 1st suspension then I have been banned like 5 times.
Is there a "statute of limitations" on any of this stuff? P.E: If someone admits x happened so many years ago, but was never modded, can they be modded now?
I wonder if mods can get modded, who has the power to mod a mod? :)
Staff members.
Hmmm, do staff members even bother to visit forums? Never seen one posting on forums.
Digital Dame does.

Yep, but rarely does Cynthia posts on forums tho, she makes blogs more... imo. Before Dracula and JodieR used to post on OT rarely also.
Hmm, I once abbreviated "japanese" ignorant of the fact that it ended up a racial slur. Other than that, it's been pretty mild I think.
Had my first thread closed because the Mod thought I was promoting my you tube channel, In fact I using the video as an aid to start a discussion on Final Fantasy VII and its impact on the genre.
The video was from "The Game Completionist" which obviously is not my you tube channel as Jirard Khalil is a you tube celebrity who is past the point of advertising his channel on forums.
