GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Friday, Jun 27, 2008

Over the past few days I've been getting moderated for unfair reasons in my opinion. One was for posting a pic of Zero Suit Samus and the other was for using the word "retarded". There were worse pics of Samus posted on that same thread, same with pics of Peach and I was the only one who got moderated? As for using the word retarded, someone had posted a video of some guy making fun of the Wii. In the video, he said he had bought and played every game he wanted for the system. Near the end of the video he took his Wii outside, put it down on the ground, pulled out a gun and shot the Wii, though it didn't show the bullet going through the Wii you could only hear the gun fire. So I said that the video was retarded because it was. How is it funny when someone makes a video of something like? It's not funny, it's insulting to the Wii and to Wii owners.

Since I'm listing my moderations I may as well list other things I've been moderated unfairly for, some of these I didn't even know about until just recently.

I got moderated for posting a video of Zelda in Half Life 2, apparantly it was Disruptive Posting. I don't see how when it was about Zelda and Zelda has a lot to do with the Wii. Sure it was for Half Life 2 but it had Zelda in it, you'd think it would be alright to post something like that on the Wii Forums because Wii fans would want to see something like that.

I got moderated for standing up for Mario Party 8, apparantly is was Trolling. Some guy made a thread about Mario party 8 saying Nintendo needs to stop making Mario Party games blah blah blah. He was insulting the franchise in my opinion. So I posted a fairly long response. It was my opinion about Mario Party and what makes the games so great. All I did was talk about all the good things the games have to offer and so on, there's nothing bad about any of them. Then at the end I asked how the person who made the topic could consider themseleves a Mario Fan if they don't like Mario Party and that this thread shouldn't exist. I don't remember exactly what I said but it wasn't trolling. If that can be considered trolling than the thread should be considered trolling because that particular thread was obviously made to annoy people who like Mario Party.

I also got moderated for posting a Super Mario Galaxy Review from Gametrailers, apparantly I was ignoring the stickied thread. How is posting a review for a game bad. People post reviews for games all the time. Yeah, there was probly a thread for Super Mario Galaxy at the time...more than one I'm sure, but I don't remember there being any threads specifically for posting reviews and if there was I was unaware of it. I was also the first person to post the review from Gametrailers, I made sure that no one else had posted this particular review yet. So it's ok for everyone else to post reviews except me, that's why I got moderated, right? That's the way I understand it.

I'm just really sick and tired of being moderated unfairly. It seems like people are reporting me simply because they don't like me. I've seen a lot worse things being posted on the Wii Forums and no one seems to report any of it. That's discrimination.

Zero Suit Samus: Are you sure the pic was the reason you were moderated?

Wii Video: Blatant insults are flaming. Insulting something's intelligence is an insult. That is flaming.

Zelda in HL2: Again, are you sure that the video was the reason you were moderated?

Mario Party: This thread? Your post is still there... It's almost like you expected it to be moderated before someone comments here.

I got modded for quoting you and the pic of Zero Suit Samus too. Thankfully all I got was a warning so I didn't lose points or anything. Btw, I should warn you about blogs like this. A friend of mine started a simliar blog and got modded for, "Starting a rally against moderaters" or something like that so watch your back.

What needs to be modded are the threads of no importance.. the what are your favorite colors,, fav char. least fav. stage, ect. Who cares. Do we really need three page threads on what everyone's fav. char to use is, or what their fav color is. There are less and less thought provoking threads. Most of the threads are garbage.
I think a lot of this has to do with the average age on here being 12.

My question is, Why do you even care about the video? You should just ignore it and get on with your life. Not focused on someone elses weird opinion; the video was kinda unsmart I have to agree. Yes I agree with you on the Zero suit samus moderation, I was also modded but only warned over it. Basically what you should do is forget about what happened, Next time when you see A vid you think or know it's insulting, just ignore it. It's not worth saying a word to anyway. The "r" word you said has quite a mean description, it's actually not just flaming, it's incernerating, I personallythink it's worse than the thirteen bad words. Anyway This is my advice Hope it'll help.

Thanks for your input guys. I wasn't expecting anyone to reply to this at all , but I'm glad you guys did. I would have replied back sooner but I wasn't able to post anything for two days. I was just really mad. I didn't care so much about the warnings but then I got temporarily suspended and that's when I got mad. I'll watch my back TwilightSoldier. Sabin 55, I agree with you completely. And Thunderball37, you're probly right. I'll just ignore things like that from now on.
