Oh, really?! I didnt know!

The topic doesnt even exist anymore. Lolol

I think you would look cute if you wore a fez :b

Gogo another suspension... for a post from before the last suspension.

Yeah, that's Gamefaqs for you. Meanwhile there are a massive number of posts they don't even touch, whether it's somebody advocating for the overthrow of the US government the SAME WEEK as the Jan 6 riot or advocating violence towards other posters. (Or suggesting it's okay to hurt pets.)

Boo! Its such a good line.

Perhaps the earlier one didn't get marked till after the second one? Unless a mod stumbles upon it themselves somebody has to report it I assume. Not everyone is the reporting type

#Shrug. Whatever the reason, I just found it funny. I might have to just stop posting on that account for a year lolol

It doesnt really matter to me, its not like accounts mean much around here and theyre pretty much never banning people unless they do some thing really bad. Like call the mods a bad name.

This. I can't believe anyone wouldn't follow the site rules. I've never had a moderation in my life.

I know it seems odd on the surface that's why I was trying to provide a possible explanation. My mom has gotten suspended on Facebook for a post that was over a year old. Only explanation is someone went going through her page and ended up finding something that "offended" them.

Start marking posts. Make sock-puppet accounts and mark them with those as well. Convince other people to mark them with you.

Zang only gets hit as hard as he does because he's abrasive and he's pissed people off, so they go out of their way to aggressively mark anything even remotely borderline he posts. That plus the spotty moderation history means he's going to keep getting hit hard every time.

The mods don't really choose what to mod, they just pull posts out of the queue that users have marked (and the more people mark a post, the faster it moves to the top of the pile). When really offensive or vile stuff stays up, it's because no one marked it. When totally innocuous posts get shot down, it's almost always because someone with an agenda has weaponized it.

I'd easily argue that a majority of the "unfair" moderations on this site (and I mean legitimately unfair, not just the ones where idiots absolutely break the ToS and then whine about being persecuted) mostly stem from people vindictively using the moderation system as a weapon to fuck with people they don't like. Piss someone off enough, and they'll happily start sifting through every topic on the board in an attempt to find every post you've made and start marking every one that can be misconstrued, misinterpreted, or misunderstood. It's why a lot of times you see a cascade of moderations one after the other.

And then of course, once your moderation history starts looking like swiss cheese from all the hits, future attacks just get though even easier and do more damage, because the mods just assume you're a troublemaker and rubber-stamp your moderation.

For all that people here complain about the mods, the real problem most of the time is the shit users.

Even that isn't a foolproof defense. I've absolutely been modded for things that aren't against the ToS before. I've been straight-up put into purgatory for things that aren't against the ToS.

If you say something that's ambiguous enough to be interpreted multiple ways, and you make enough enemies of people who are willing to come after you, and it gets forwarded to a moderator who doesn't really care or isn't really paying attention, you can totally get modded for stuff that's nowhere near ToS-violating.

If you've managed to fly completely under the radar for years, it's because no one on the site cares enough about you to even bother coming after you.

I probably should have typed sarcasm at the end of my post or put a emoji.

Eh, if Im living rent free in someones head that much that theyre vindictively trying to get me thrown into purgatory when it literally doesnt matter as I have this account, thats on them. They should try living happier lives.
