If you have any other questions

Given what should be considered a blatant abuse of the mod powers of that board (wiping out whole topics to clear the queue rather than actually properly working the queue and forwarding messages that should in fact be forwarded), will the user in question be allowed to keep their own board and if so, why?

The board was locked down relatively quickly after the terrorist attack on the Capitol. We didn't wipe out the board completely because it would make moderation of posts on the board impossible. The board was first simply locked down to keep the content accessible for the moderation staff. Since we didn't really have a protocol for such things, our tools to lock it down weren't perfect, so users could still be invited in. We'll be working on our CB tools in case something like this ever happens again in the future.

That explains a lot.

storming capital hill with intent to lay bombs and take hostages isn't "based", it's domestic terrorism

Why didn't GameFAQs post a BLM statement when the other ViacomCBS sites did? We were told not to, and that a post would be made on all sites. For reasons unknown to me, that message was not pushed to GameFAQs. I don't know if there was a technical error or if they just forgot to include us since we're on a sub-domain, but the fact of the matter is that I was explicitly told to let the company make the statement and they failed to do so. I'm not sure how political RV wants its product managers to be, but to be brief and upfront about it, I have been and always will be very pro-BLM. I'm leaving it at that.
If thats true then I sincerely apologize. But Im not sure why you waited months to tell us that.

If it's there, either no one's reporting it or they are reporting it and the owner/leaders of the board aren't properly forwarding it to us. If you have some examples, I can look into it.

When a group is tied to terrorism, regardless of political spectrum, we aren't going to allow there to be a board for that group.

Thank you for doing the right thing Allen. No one here wanted Gamefaqs to be associated with that sort of thing, and all it would take is one anonymous user showing some of those disgusting posts to a news station....

The posters there should have been shut down too

Remember this when you get banned or silenced sometime down the road for whatever opinion you happen to have that others end up disagreeing with.

Its honestly unbelievable how people can cheer on the destruction of freedom of expression/speech, just because they disagree with whats being said. Literally the slipperiest of all slippery slopes.

..and before anyone says gfaqs can ban whoever whenever for whatever and you dont have real free speech hereyoure right, but this is happening all over the place, and places like twitter pretend theyre not the equivalent of an online public square.

Its almost as if security at the capital was purposesly lax so that this was allowed to happen, because then, purging wrong-think online would be completely justified (to some people...whore hypocrites).

Cant wait to see what ridiculous things they try to sneak by the public in this next stimulus bill that is inevitably coming in a few weeks. Theyll just give everyone a fat check to divert attention away from something that will probably make The Patriot Act look like childs play.

There seems to be plenty of boards available to discuss what "Make America Great Again" intended to do, including Politics and CE

It sounds like there wasn't a lot of thought put into this idea of allowing users to create their own boards.
