I had a post reported/moderated a day ago that I posted over 3 weeks ago. Isn't that ridiculous? Content created weeks ago, that nearly the entire community has read without issue...then some sensitive bundle of sticks comes along, hits the button, and your shit gets snipped. It's complete garbage.

Don't know what crawled up his vagina.

Got 3 day ban for posting this rather bad joke. Mods need a sense of humor. What rule did they say that broke? Better yet, who would bother reporting that? That's not even close to offensive. Spoiler Inappropriate language and/or usage of profanity (even if abbreviated) Please refresh yourself on our Forum Rules.

I've never had a problem with getting moderated over there. Never had a ban. Never reported someone over false bullshit either, but yes I have reported a handful of posts over the years. I don't get the whole culture that there's a real issue with the official forum mods. The biggest complainer I've seen bitching about mods there was from Voldemort, so you all kind of remind me of the worst kind of idiot when you act like it's impossible to avoid bans there. The last time I got reported over there, it was over something I wrote about this site, and I was reported by a mod of this site, using language that is considered casual here. I don't think the intentions here are as clean cut as you all like to pretend they are.

I got one for mentioning Voldemort in passing, after he had already been perma-banned. Apparently using anyone's gamertag, even your own, in any context whatsoever is naming and shaming, and you'll be banned. Dare to write in red font? GET BANNED HEATHEN The list goes on and on

I don't think the intentions here are as clean cut as you all like to pretend they are. One person was banned for naming and shaming the computer AI in proving grounds. Others have been banned for naming and shaming themselves. Others for asking for their own thread to remain on-topic. Hell, I got banned for a week for a GIF that was in SOMEONE ELSE'S COMMENT THAT I QUOTED for fuck sake. Meanwhile, trolls who are repeatedly reported or banned get more leeway than those with thousands of smart, helpful comments. In other words, the complaints about the main forums didn't just come out of thin fucking air -- some of us have reasons to be displeased. I have moderated sites and board for nearly 20 years, and the moderation over there is clinically fucking stupid. A majority of it is automated, and those that are reviewed by a real person fail to take into account context, the person making the comment and their history, etc. They just suck at their jobs, period, and it's a damn shame. Now, that being typed, I agree some of the personal attacks on some mods by a few here are way out of line and not helpful. I get that. But labeling this entire board and everyone on it the way you have is, quite frankly, utter bullshit.

I don't think the intentions here are as clean cut as you all like to pretend they are. R35T got banned over there for making an IS-7 line guide when the on track was on. He got banned because he posted it in general discussion. Right ok, I get that there are other places he could have posted it, but it was a helpful and well thought out thread. Why not just move it to a more appropriate section and PM him letting him know. A 3 day ban being issued for that is bonkers in my opinion. Someone got moderated for naming and shaming a proving grounds AI. Like what? Granted not all the moderation over there is terrible. A lot of stuff gets moderated, and rightly so. The problem is the inconsistency of it and the looseness of interpretation that comes with some of the moderation. Although to be perfectly fair to the moderators, it's not all their fault. They moderate what people report and a lot of stuff that gets moderated, in my opinion, isn't even report worthy. As for what you were reported for on the official forum, that's down to WG and their moderation system.

That's my biggest problem over there, no clear guidance and rules and then throw in halfwit mods & community staff, it's made the forums so toxic and off putting. If I was a new player, who didn't know the forums could be decent and informative, I'd haul ass from the forums and probably the game. And let's be honest there isn't a very good tutorial, no user manual, so what's a new Xbox or PS4 player going to do?

You basically insulted us there and now you're acting like an assclown here. Not even sure why you are here, unless you want in on that circle jerk.

There you go again with the antagonism jester. You reported me for a breach of rules, so I am going to quote you on this one. "Don't know what crawled up his vagina."
Just today when I apologized to you for my reaction to the report, you claimed you weren't offended in the least. Now I insulted the forum and am being an assclown. Figuee out your attitude towards forum moderation, and be consistent, please. I am being really reasonable as I see it, we just have different perspectives.

If you guys really believe a user can be banned over there for nothing, or that it's "literally impossible" to avoid bans, then prove it to me, or don't (because who gives a fuck if we don't agree?). Get me banned from over tIhere, and good luck with that. Telling me I should leave this forum because of the fact that I am criticizing a mob mentality? What is this forum even for if I can't disagree with others here? That's right. Figuratively it is a circle jerk, or a gang or a good ol boys club, so to speak.

We're not going to gang up on you and get you banned. Relax

' you all kind of remind me of the worst kind of idiot...' Not insulting Bunker members at all... I reported you for being a troll and breaking their forum rule. You seem to just want to start shit for a laugh.

You'll only get banned from here for being a fucktard.
No one will gang up on you, since it's against the forum rules here to do that outside of playful banter.

You'll only get banned from here for being a fucktard, which you seem to be proficient at so far. I don't agree with that view. I have apologized, and expected that we could move on from my initial salty reaction and dicsuss this with respect. I am not proud of letting a little warning on the official forum bother me, but that happened and I own up to it. You claimed that it didn't bother you. So you're saying that yoh report posts that violate rules whether or not they bother you.

We're not going to gang up on you and get you banned. Relax If that's the case, a few of you have made what seem like strange claims here, yet there are no citations as proof, so we are left in the original stance where we don't agree. That's fine, but if you can't prove your assertion as true I don't believe them when my evidence suggest otherwise: if rules are obeyed there, bans are not issued. The rules here are so cloudy on the other hand, yet I seem to be dangerously close to violating them. It stinks.

You can get moderated for the smallest things over there, from something that can be lightly seen as 'non constructive' or 'off topic' (there's a lot of non constructive and off topic posts on the official forum) it's just that no one has taken such a disliking to you to go around reporting you for any tiny little thing. For instance, in your recent posts you referred to something else as a circle jerk and it's already been proven you can get moderated for that. Also you have mentioned two forumers in your recent posts, which can also get moderated for naming and shaming, whether you intended to name and shame or not. I'm not going to report your posts in a silly attempt to get you banned, just pointing out that if someone wanted to get you banned WG's rules and moderation make it easy for them to do so. You have your opinion and I have mine.

You don't bother me. I defended this site when you insulted it. You chose a more profoundly ironic way of doing so. Most reasonable people would disagree bt countering the argument, which is how we all got here in the first place. I can see that you considered this as some kind of meta forum justice. Were you trying to be ironic?
