why can't we just sit back and talk with people about things without the fear of getting in trouble for what we say! i know that there have to be some rules so people don't come on here and go crazy! but come on! i'm a good guy and i won't come on here and talk about things that shouldn't be talked about but some rules are insane

Kinda like how there are police in the real world. There are real people behind the computers and Gamespot wants to ensure everyone can have a good time and that nobody is offended and everyone is comfterable about what is being said.

In some weird way Romans 13:3 applies here... "For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you."

Spammers, trolls, porn suicides, constant cussing, flaming, disruptive posting, etc. are all examples of why we need moderators, I don't want this place to turn into *that* place.

because Gamespot is a business and they are trying to remain respectable. If someone comes in here and starts seeing children swear left and right and usaing N words and P words and Q words and whatever other words there are it would not be seen as a respectable business anymore.

Idk why gamespot monitors so hard. Its really kind of lame to an extent. They moderate us to the point that we can't have fun on the forums anymore. For example, I made a post in the past on wether or not i should sell some of my games and they deleted it! Are you kidding me? This is a VIDEO GAME website yet i can't post wether or not I'm going to sell some games. Too many rules...PERIOD.

See, now, that's why we need the moderators :P I don't like a lot of the rules here and wish they were a bit less strict, but sadly, obeying the rules isn't really optional.

Yes, yes it is from the Bible. The passage is just talking about government authority as opposed to ...internet authority. The same moral principle exists regardless. Indeed an internet uprising would be bad. A server might even go down! :shock:

But a lot of people you like here may not be on another forum you are. And if things got out of hand the mods could always come in and make sure the place isn't abused.
