Current Events > Do you think the moderation appeals system on this site is fair?

(+) Yeah! (+)

....do you agree?
---

Haven't had to deal with the new version yet, so I can't say.

No. I have complained about the appeals system for 15 years. It's a corrupt system designed to make sure that mods can uphold and get the final say 9 times out of 10. The mods have all the advantages. Imagine if a court trial was set up like the appeals system. Nobody would ever win a trial

so baga you've never had one overturned?
---

Ive never disputed a moderation ever. And thats after 6 months of using GameFAQS.

why do you never dispute?

What the fuck does it even fucking matter, it's just a deleted message, or at worst you temporarily or permanently lose access to an account in which case you can just make another

yeah it kinda isn't a big deal, that's why i think that most mods don't even look at your argument they just look at what it was for. Maybe it's just not a big deal for them and they don't wanna spend too much time on it

It's anonymous so there's no accountability on their end.

When you write a long dispute that brings up many different points the mods prove they only read part of it because Everytime without fail they only respond to the first point

If your first point is already wrong, there's no reason to read the rest of them since you've already failed to prove that the moderation was wrong.

In a multi point defense what if you have 4 good points and one bad point and the bad point was the first one? That's not how judges do trials. They listen to all points

No, youre appealing to an adverse class of people.

It would be like getting arrested, but the jury is full of police officers from the arresting officers department.

No because you can get hit for spoilers that are older than SpongeBob SquarePants.

That's so unfair especially when your punishment is that an online message stays deleted, oh no...

I once got hit for spoiling a plot point mentioned on the back of the box and was the basic premise of the game for a game like 25 years old. It was Final Fantasy Legend on game boy

I am sure saying King Kong falls off the Empire State building can be modded.

They only let you do it for stupid little bullshit things lol

This site is a joke when it comes to keeping order. It is full of actual trolls yet anyone who actually wants to contribute something or say something constructive has to deal with some angry fan mod.

Honestly, I dont even see why it exists. Ive had maybe two or three overturned, max. I just follow the rules, though.
