DYL, getting modded and getting banned aren't the same thing. Our mods are a meme for a reason.

where are our mods a meme

Probably with people who have such little momentum in life that they think GameFAQs mods are worth talking about in anything outside of threads like this.

making a new account is inconvenient because you have to gain all the karma to get rid of the posting restrictions again.

It's wayyy better now since you only need like 5 karma to get up to 50 posts which is good enough. Before you needed several weeks of 20 posts to get there.

Not just too strict, but also 100% bias to the left.

As Ulti said, you get modded for posting facts as a conservative.

Except Ulti has also bragged about having a pocket mod and unapologetically marks posts.

i marked @WiggumFan267 for moderation once

he didn't tell me he loved me in a post

Well, that's their problem.

I'd believe this myth more if it didn't come almost exclusively from shitposters and trolls.

Granted if you think Gamefaqs is too strict, I have to question exactly how many other sites you frequent.

We are classed as that purely because we are conservatives. When both on forums and real
Life... liberals are the trolls.

You're called a troll because of the things you say and do, not because of your political beliefs. When people speak badly about you, it's not because "Uggh, what a CONSERVATIVE". It's about the far more unflattering aspects about you.

Believing a significant amount of people give a shit about what political party you align yourself with on a gaming site is arrogant even by my standards.

Also this is MWC right? I don't want to get alts confused.

And it's totally true. Look at ExTha, Corrik, Tim,
Ulti, Seph G, Smuffin... what do they all have in trouble. Conservative leaning.

Yes, of course.

There's other right leaning conservative members here too. I'm more rightwing than a large portion of the board. Calling the bunch you just did conservative "leaning" is hilarious.

maybe they have more than one thing in common

for what it's worth, those on the right do tend to be more direct, in your face, and have sharper tongues today. this is obviously not a thing exclusive to them, it's just a correlation that explains why they may view it that way.

on a more social front, there's a point to be made there. attitudes towards those who'll hold a gulag flag and cheer it will be much softer than someone wearing a nazi armband embracing it. though that issue's a social one, it does creep in that certain aspects are more acceptable than others; liberal ideas are quite well accepted, though if you start getting more and more authoritative and leave them, it starts to look more and more communist. the gap between those two is fairly wide and there's also socialists somewhere in the mix, to further muddy the left. right wing ideas don't have nearly as much room: if you say you're a nationalist of any kind, you're getting called a nazi. now you've gotta argue from a position you do not have or you can just tell the other guy that they can fuck off - whoops, that's flaming.

that added tinge does make a difference for those on the right, especially in the current climate. still wouldn't say they're being modded for being right-wing, though i get that there's more baggage and stuff to weave through which may prompt more offensive reactions.

Let's see...

Ulti is a troll that likes to blame everything on liberals, who self admittedly says he's trolling to "rub it in", who has claimed to turn over a new leaf only to renege about a week later. Multiple times.

Seph is someone who has been purg'd several times for wishing death on people, who claims who does what he does to get a reaction.

Muffin is someone who is willing to defend (neo)nazis, but always had an excuse to do something else when I asked him why said nazis would be even remotely sympathetic.

So yeah, they have something in common. They're assholes. Their political leaning is irrelevant.

saying "shut the fuck up" isn't moddable. not sure if "fuck off" is - i've said it often and i've never gotten modded for it. because i'm a leftist ololo
---

As for the other three.

I honestly don't see what Extha would say that would get him in trouble these days. He's dropped the whole red pill thing.

Corrik just plays devil's advocate a lot from what I've seen. For the most part he's fine, but on occasion it seems like he gets into argument for the sake of getting into an argument rather than trying to have an honest discussion.

*cough*

And I can't see what Tim says, but if he was the same guy he was a couple years back he probably gets in trouble for insulting half the board rather than any political reason.
---

pretty sure i've seen it modded before, though rarely. it's technically flaming. if you expand on that it should be clear of it but if that's all you leave 'em with, entirely possible. i mean it's not like i mean only the words "fuck off," more of the attitude. the more direct and personal you get, the higher the chance.
---

It's not moddable.

As an aside, is it public knowledge what Timjab got banned for? I'm not sure if he ever talked about it or not.
---

Go fuck yourself is moddable so why isnt fuck off or why is either
---

I think Fuck Off is less moddable because it suggests that fuckery should cease.

All I remember from Timjab is the time he spent three months in purgatory, then his first topic after coming back was about how black people are naturally violent so he went right back into purgatory

I forget the exact wording but he said he helped contain a riot a few weeks earlier and if course it was in a black neighborhood because they were naturally violent

In fairness he may not have called them animals so I'll edit that out now. This happened years ago so I'm not certain about every detail, but it definitely happened. I said it was nice to see he'd learned nothing from his punishment and then the topic was gone and he was purged again

i have no idea what timjab got banned for.

I'm sure it's being heavily paraphrased. I've never seen Tim use language anywhere near that offensive when discussing groups of people... apart from Board 8ers, which is largely why he's so unpopular here.

It is against the rules to be Conservative.

@JetJaguar

Clear it up

Never happened. I did post about breaking up a riot but never insinuated that black people are naturally violent. I did say that it was a regular occurrence in the neighborhood I work in (amd since the people partaking in it have nothing to gain from it, so you can't use the BS "we forced them into poverty so they're forced to resort to crime" excuse) and has never happened in any neighborhood I've lived in, which is simply a factual statement. I'm sure Robazoid is just regurgitating the lies LtM and Inviso have spread about me, which is awesome.

Also, I legitimately don't remember what got me banned. I don't think it was anything particularly memorable, it was more just a combination of multiple moddings in the past.
---

And riot is wrong word because it wasn't like "Let's rob the Duane Reade in the name of some nonsense cause." It was more like "It's 10 AM on a Tuesday and that guy I don't like walked by my block, let's instigate a 200 person street fight."

Well don't make outlandish claims such as "It's against the rules to be conservative!" then.

(Though also screenshotting moderated message maybe? That isn't against any rule is it?)
---

Posting the reason for moderation shouldn't be but screenshots of the actual message would probably need to be privately shared cus you're just asking for another slap otherwise.
---

As a mostly right leaning person, I can say I have never been modded for political views, beliefs or posts on those topics.

I have been modded for posted Chyna's.... anyway

I also mostly don't post my political beliefs.

JetJaguar posted...

All the details you posted helped me remember it better. I'm pretty sure you offensively worded the part about it being common in that neighborhood and you definitely mentioned their ethnicity since that was what you were modded for. Still, my initial post was based on hazy memories and I definitely misrepresented how far you went so I apologize for that

I only remembered this at all because I thought it was funny that you were out of purgatory for approximately ten minutes before going back in
---

I'm pretty sure he originally got modded for a massive Nintendogs IRL call out on the forum that started bad and got worse very quickly.

I remember seeing it reading a few posts refreshing to see more and the topic was gone and so was TimJab.

In fact the more I think about it that was his second moderation in row, because the first was in one of the B8 history topics we used to have, where me as a newbie was learning some stuff and then TimJab went off on a tirade about modding... The more you know.

This may not even be referring to me because I think there are more than a couple ignored posts in this topic, but I have no clue what "Nintendogs IRL" is referring to

Was moderated because I said heroin addicts should not be a priority in saving lives instead of children with allergies. Should funnel narcan money to subsidizing epipens for children.
