GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Saturday, Aug 1, 2009

Rather then go on a rant, I'll post a picture of my history and let you decide for yourself. I have permission to repost these, I asked in the 'Ask a Mod Forum' here.

If you want to see pictures, go here

Link 2

For those who don't want to click,

The person I responded to said, 'There i said it Yes we are superior. i am tired of being afraid of being called a rascist. I just dont care anymore.'

I reponded, 'You are a racist though...'

I get modded, I lost a level, I get destroyed for that?

Now I was told there's two things I can say when I blog about this, I'll say those now.

I disagree with this moderation and I don't deserve it.

That is all.

Thanks for those of you who sent me support PMs and to the mod (who's identity will remain a mystery for his/her own sake) who supports me in this.

Sounds kind of crazy to me.

I've lost a few levels myself to things akin to this...

Sorry to hear that.

i don't understand why you were modded for that. Seems to me like you were calling it as it was.
Posted Aug 1, 2009 9:19 pm PT
srry to hear bout that man, you got modded for no reason
Posted Aug 1, 2009 9:37 pm PT
that sucks. mods are so anal about what you say now you can't even type freely anymore. Only on gamespot where you can't call an actual racist a racist

I usually don't whine about moderations since there's no point but I won't stop till they at least admit they're wrong

Sorry to hear that. I just lost a level, myself. I love how you'd be "asking for trouble" by saying more. And the mods wonder why everyone hates them.

That's outrageous. Sorry to hear about this...
Posted Aug 1, 2009 11:15 pm PT
I thought they discontinued that User who sent report gets good marks... what does that even mean?

Anyways, thats sucks that it happened. I wonder what happened to the guy who said that

That sucks, a point loss seems a little harsh. That's one of my biggest problems with GS, you have to be so ridiculously careful about what you post.

First of all, I cant believe someone reported you for that. Thats a stupid moderation but it happens...
Posted Aug 2, 2009 10:22 am PT
If any of you saw my comment earlier, i got modded for it. Once again Describing my opinion and views on M0ds. I never said anything about mods so why did they Mod me?
Posted Aug 2, 2009 12:43 pm PT
Sorry to hear that, try to stay out of trouble.
Posted Aug 2, 2009 12:48 pm PT
Hmph, yet another silly moderation. Chin up, you'll gain the level back *hugs*
Posted Aug 2, 2009 3:01 pm PT
@LK-47: Yeah I'm trying, I was mod-free for four months but now in a week I've gotten three for small offenses. I give up almost.

calling a (openly) racist person racist is bad enough for a moderation?

when you think about it for a second, it does look like potential bait for him/her/it to come back with something, but even so he/she/it brought it on him/her/itself by being a racist in today's world.
Posted Aug 2, 2009 11:43 pm PT
Mods can sometimes be stupid, but the intentions are good.
Posted Aug 3, 2009 12:20 am PT
I don't much agree with that moderation either. If someone more or less states that they are a racist, it shouldn't be a problem to refer to them as such.
Posted Aug 3, 2009 2:25 pm PT
Same type of thing happened to me man. I hate to hear that.
Posted Aug 3, 2009 2:32 pm PT
That does sound quite unreasonable. I honestly never understood how comments like that can get away freely while any arguments put against it are modded. I've had my share of moments like that too but not usually regarding race.

Well, that's the problem with having mods picked out from the community. There's always going to be a certain bias with some mods since the higher-ups in Gamespot never really got to know them or see who they are as a person. The best we can do at this point is not worry about it I suppose.

why didn't you just report and ignore him? the whole thing could have been taken care of quite easily.

"I don't much agree with that moderation either. If someone more or less states that they are a racist, it shouldn't be a problem to refer to them as such."

The problem is that based on our policy here, it isn't the user's place to call such things out. If someone's acting as a racist, simply reporting them as one is sufficient, and will ensure that the user actually gets punished, and not the person who's trying to stand up against them.

"That does sound quite unreasonable. I honestly never understood how comments like that can get away freely while any arguments put against it are modded."

The only reason why a user would get away freely is mainly because no one reports the offending user, and furthermore, they don't simply ignore the user. If someone is saying things just to troll and rile up things, responding to them in any capacity means that that person has automatically won, regardless of what you say in response. That's the mentality of someone who trolls - they're trying to get you to post back at them and revel in the idea that they can control the emotions of others through being offensive or insensitive. Reporting such people, and then ignoring them, is the only response that really is needed in such situations.

The policy is strict and vague POS to be honest. I am starting to wonder if mods read more than just the one post when moderating.

Also, it seems SunofVich is not banned. I don't understand how you can be so blatantly racist and not be banned. He's still level 30 Toriko
Posted Aug 8, 2009 4:27 pm PT
I think the problem was that you directly accused someone of something. If the person is or isn't, doesn't really matter to MODS.
Posted Aug 18, 2009 9:33 pm PT
oh my that was the most hilariously weaksauce reason for modding ive seen in a while. dont sweat it bro.

ive gotten modded with point loss like 8 times this level usually for flaming wich i deserved but also alot of them is just plain censorship, its no secret i dont agree with alot of the moderators but we are visitors on theyr site so cant fight the abuse.
