People who say "shut the fuck up".

The best response people who say shut the fuck up have is shut the fuck up? What kind of not only is that incredibly stupid, its demonstrably untrue, as I just proved. Its not the best response, its the laziest. People like you just arent generally worth the effort, unless Im feeling particularly spiteful like now.

Shitposting alts aren't worth it, you'll be gone in a day.

Go right ahead and shut the fuck up before you lose this one too.

The sad thing is I would try harder more often, but you get moderated for half the things you should say to people. Shut the fuck up is one of the few things Ive never been moderated for. I once got moderated for calling someone a rutebega. Or a fencepost? Some nonsense word I made up because I kept getting modded for calling people idiots or racists.

Hmmm, let's see. How would I feel if I was a regularly moderate user who needed a new account on the reg?

Wait, I would just stop using the site.

I mean, same. The moment they actually ban me for some stupid shit like calling someone being racist a racist, which is inevitably what it will be for, Im off of here. Ive never made an alt and Im not gonna start now. Ill consider it a mercy that the inertia has been absorbed.

It ain't that serious bro.

It is to them. Take that guy. Worked to get an alt to 50 just so he could troll this board. When you have nothing else going on in your life, this lunacy becomes extremely important. Feel sad tbh....they have lost in life and can't find the path back.

Yeah, he's one of the chud trolls around here. If I recall he stopped by the blacklist in the past and got BTFO like all the others who try to invade because they're still sore that the MAGA board got shuttered because they were literally cheering a terrorist act on American soil.

You're free to go the fuck away from this website forever then, TC. Leave us to flounder on this doomed website while you search for greener pastures.

I have no idea what the Blacklist or MAGA boards are. I mean, I know what MAGA and boards are, but I don't really go to community boards unless I randomly see a topic in the list I'm interested in.

I generally try to stay on the console boards or specific game boards. It's weird that you all have these weird focuses on specific people. I barely even looked at your name.

I don't see how having a "Blacklist" of people is anything but trolling either. But that's just another example of the spotty moderation.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

It could be. I mean all of those people have the most pathetic lives on the planet. The only semblance of joy these beings have in their miserable lives, of their own fault, is crying about GameFAQs and dreaming up revenge fantasies. If I wanted to debase myself, I'd go to Reddit and tell them what I would do if my life sucked as bad as theirs.

Yeah yeah, wah the mods. We get it. You're totally original and clever.

Still not going to remember you. Sorry that you think about me though. Genuinely. I hope you're able to get over any kind of perceived thing and let me out of your head.

You could easily avoid all of those moderations by choosing your words better. They're absolutely fair, unfortunately. Most of them are pretty obvious. The recent one was something that must mod and could've been a NKL if you didn't have that history. Did you have any other specific questions (without reposting)?

And we've come full circle on the average WoodenRook posting tactic.

It is pretty unpleasant to think about you, to be fair.

Can anyone recommend a sauce to go with this copypasta?

Shoo now, on your bike. *dismissive hand wave* We've seen the only arrow in your quiver, and you're already boring me.

Sauce gets used as a euphemism for source, I barely even know what words mean anymore.

TC that's crazy, and reminds me of something my grandpa used to tell me:

"'Unfortunate' doesn't begin to describe this site, moderations rewards blind luck and nothing else, I am beyond convinced at this point. After getting completely tooled by scheduling with the mods changing times on me last minute and refusing to provide confirmation prior to the day of the dispute, losing this way somehow felt even worse than I had thought possible. My preparation was superior, my dispute was superior, and I lost, so I don't see a reason to continue engaging in an activity where what is within my control is overwhelmingly outweighed by what is not. I am done with this websight, and you won't get a fond farewell. This community is infected to its roots with a degenerative disease that grows stronger over time but stops short of killing its host. Topics used to have a competitive spirit at their heart, this has been transplanted and replaced with an artificial organ that feeds on vitriol and mockery from insecure little boys that heckle by the sidelines and tear each other to shreds over scraps of attention. The environment we fostered has trapped us all like this in a vicious cycle, and escaping it requires acceptance of the harshest reality we all scramble to explain away, that none of the countless straining efforts we put ourselves through here will ever amount to one single shining glimmer of significance. I would make this the end, but Invincible is still ongoing, and I would never leave so many great friends out to dry, so I'll suffer through a few more topics for them. One last thing before I leave you all to react with disdain, ridicule, and self-righteous fervor, before you do everything in your power to minimize my words and thoughts, box them up and shove them to some cobwebbed corner of your memory, and hope they disappear forever as a stain on your finite time ground to dust. From this moment on, nothing you say matters to me. The foulest insults you hurl with intent to wound will calmly settle at the earth before my feet, and the venom you spit will bring all the pain of a warm summer breeze. You are less than anything you can conceive, while I carry on, brimming with joy distilled from detachment."

Wise old bastard

Just don't post here on this board, problem fixed. It's the new "Politics" board. Mods aren't paid. They're volunteer and the bar isn't even that high.

this. some real softies here that will get triggered at the sight of a term they disagree with. when they cant win they get the moderators involved.

it is what it is.

He's probably just taking the board name literally in a vain attempt to cry about moderation.

there have definitely been ones that werent fair, but a while back, so oh well. Like I got moderated for calling someone a rutabaga, or a drill bit or something like that. I chose my words pretty carefully there, in that I chose one at random. I cant even remember all of them, but Ive definitely been modded for not even insulting anyone as well. One time I got moderated because the mod assumed I had tagged someone something I hadnt, and that was enough for me to get a suspension. Like straight up I am assuming your tag is at least as bad as this, so alluding to the tag gets you a suspension. The tag was not in fact that bad.

My issue with the rest of it is that things are enforced inconsistently, and the rules on insults have gotten stricter (or been enforced more strictly.) The moderations are fair, technically; my main issue is that the rules are stupid. Trolls and actual outright bigots can spew all sorts of vitriol and make all sorts of implications about your character, as long as they dont actually say the word idiot. Ive been called all sorts of vile things, but its implied so its apparently fine. Then if you call them a racist, or even imply it, even as theyre being actively racist, youre moderated. Theyre actively trying to bait these things and then marking them, and the mods feed into it.

I am unclear what about the most recent one was abuse or harassment, given I wasnt talking about anyone on this site specifically. It seems like there is now some rule against calling Republicans as a whole racist, but I dont actually know what that rule is, or why thats a rule. I dont think Ive ever seen anyone moderated for making blanket statements about democrats or liberals or the left, honestly.

Not even worth tagging.

Ive only been lightly moderated here for some gray areas that were considered trolling.

They used AI to make me a gamefaqs poster, and all I got were prime directives to ridicule the moderators, bash dubbed anime, and uphold the narrative that X is only bad when Nintendo does it.

Oh wait there's more. I cannot arrest a senior official of OCP.
