Board 8 > Just got modded for saying some was delusional...

(+) Yeah! (+)

Apparently that's considered flaming?? I almost think I'm being targeted by a mod... I've been getting modded a lot lately and while I'll own a couple of them like directly calling someone an idiot(or apparently saying "fuck the mods"). I also got modded for using edgelords in a general sense, not targeted at anyone or group and same for idiots, not aimed at anyone person or group. But then after already being warned, 15 minutes later, I got modded for a 2 day old post. Seems pretty suspicious...

But anyway, I come across far worse moddable offenses on the daily and it's so inconsistent.

Basically everything is against the tos here, all the rules are vague and essentially come down to the mods arbitrary decisions.

depends on how cucked the mod is that day.

I don't think that's how it works lol.

And this is my alt guys, obviously! Main is warned <_<

the mods rely on users marking posts so there's bound to be some inconsistency in the modding.

I wonder what the record is for karma lost on a single account through KL moderations.

I had like 5 posts deleted and I was eventually warned just for posting a link to my game

How dare you!

I got marked the other day for "perpetuating a stereotype" because I asked someone if he's 50 years old when he mentioned that he can't type without looking at the keyboard.

Don't be mean to whoa

The flaming rule is very clear cut ever since they changed it last year. It was designed to eliminate the known inconsistency in the previous version of the rule.

Guess it depends why you were calling them delusional. Like if you called them delusional for saying that aliens who looked like Jerry Seinfeld abducted his cat, probably okay. If you called them delusional for saying that the Holocaust was bad, probably not.

I called him delusional because he said nintendo first party games often go on sale for 40-60% off.

Think about the type of person you need to be to actively want to be a GameFAQs moderator in 2019

Oops

I got notified without deletion

I ain't lie

Why would calling someone delusional not qualify as flaming

I don't understand how some people are so constantly bewildered by the fact that a website with a rule against insulting people sometimes sees its moderators delete posts that insult other people.

Maybe because it's not a very offensive or harmful insult? Could you get modded for calling someone silly? Where's the line here exactly?

The most common complaint against the old flaming rule was that it was subjective how "severe" the flame was and inconsistent on how it was moderated. So in direct response to user feedback, they simplified the ruling. Now any name calling is treated equally regardless of what the insult is. No more debates about whether a flame was "bad enough" to be deleted. Again, this is what the users asked for and what they got.

While particularly relevant to GameFAQs, since this site truly is an oddball relic now, this statement is dead-on and can also apply to Internet moderators in general. Power-tripping moderators - and the brown-nosers who think their overbearing moderation is totally justified and cool, ackshually - have ruined so many things on the Internet.

That's why I recently came back here after years of absence. Board 8 is pretty damn lucky compared to many other online communities, as far as moderation goes.

I didn't write the rules, nor did I complain about them since I don't go around breaking them.

And yes I see what you were trying to do there.

I marked your post as a joke to see if TC was lying. Can't believe he's actually telling the truth.

I cannot believe this site has gotten so bad that "delusional" is considered a grave insult. Then they wonder why no one gives a shit about the boards anymore.

if you're so bothered by the fact that flaming gets you modded, perhaps you should ask yourself why you feel such a need to flame people.
---

Yes by all means Ulti lecture me, the literal mod/god, on the rules

"Cops are killing too many people in the streets for no reason, there's no way to know if what you're doing will get you shot!!"
"Ok fine, now cops can kill anyone for doing any crime from jaywalking and worse. Problem solved. Equality and objectivity. iTs wHAt THey aSkEd fOR"

Dumbest shit ever, not to mention spiteful and childish. How about mods just try to improve the gfaqs experience?

Ulti's had mod pockets since back when you were still a fledgling virtue signaler. I'll trust him on any ToS matter first.

just commit ToS violations when XIII is on so you can get NKLs
