GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Monday, Apr 21, 2008
Apparently my picture of Fernando Torres offended a member, and so it has been deleted by GameSpot after being reported.

Two things I do not understand;

One) How on earth was someone offended by a picture of a football player, with a caption that implied he is good looking by basically saying he could turn someone heterosexual, homosexual. It was a joke image, that only football fans would understand, but it seems anyone unaware of who he is, may found it anti-homosexual, which is ridiculous, but that's the only reason I can see someone reporting it for.

Two) Reporting it is one thing, but GameSpot actually agreeing that the image is offensive is beyond me. Nearly all the respect for GameSpot I had has been lost. It would have been ok if they deleted it and explained that some viewers have found it offensive, but to actually claim I violated the rules and hand me out a warning, despicable.

You may say that I'm overreacting, but I feel I've been wrongly perceived as someone who has problems accepting peoples chosen sexuality, it's ridiculous.

yep, the moderators have been trying to quit smoking is my guess, cause lately there have been some bloody stupid moderations and so forth.

Its nothing new. GS mods are wimps, they follow any reports blindly.

I just got another warning, for creating a thread asking questions about if I should or should not buy a Nintendo DS. For f'n sake.

Don't worry. Everything is going to be alright.
