Getting real sick of the staff's ** for banning him over the most trivial ** while actual reports of harassment get glossed over.

I don't blame a lot of the old-guard for jumping ship to the Discord group tbh, the staff here gets absurdly strict at times for no reason.
Wait, that's confirmed to be the case again?

If so...yikes, the staff needs to chill out a bit. I respect wanting to keep the forum safe for everyone but there's a pretty clear difference between what's actually inappropriate content and what's not.

Oh, you're telling me. :iwatanod: I'm barely here anymore because of the bull**** I get strung into. It begs the question of whether or not these fellas are doing it on-sight on a whim with how fast these specific "violations" are compared to way more serious ones. Or maybe we're just too old for these changing ToS times.

Lesson learned: shame on you for being social in a social thread.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Considering certain events I get into, I'm surprised I haven't gotten a ban yet, just the occasional infraction.

I mean, considering Noi's only able to like our posts and not post himself, I think that speaks volume lol.
I was just making sure since I wasn't sure if banning could be done so....quietly.

But man

Talk about the worst kind of news you can see/hear before bed time.

EDIT: Well got my answer above.

Man, IDK even know what we're allowed to post in here anymore then.

Like, for real, this thread's been super chill the last month. No fights, any videos with swears were properly tagged, risky convos were spoilered/were kept vague enough, it just kinda feels like what Shroob Shroob said and mod team is being super jumpy with everything lately.

And TBH, I don't even know why they would be. Nothing's happened recently. Heck, even E3 went down super chill with low to no salt in here.

EDIT: This post was made before I saw Ramen's. If it's a problem Ramen Tengoku Ramen Tengoku , y'all can delete it; I was just tryin' to share my mind a bit, apologies if this isn't the place.

DIgimon update. I have my first Mega - Blitz Greymon. Not one I'm familiar with but I kind of like him better than Wargreymon

Over 1,000 Activision Blizzard employees sign letter condemning company's response to allegations.

That reminds me, there’s a video online that has the TF2 Heavy land a bullseye on a dartboard of Bobby Kodick, then proclaiming himself as “Credit to gaming community.” I wish more people knew about it so it could be made into a gif with all this going on.

I got infracted for the same thing the mods banned Noi for, and not gonna lie...
I don't think that discussing that discussing the Nintendo Love hotels is worthy of a ban. :drshrug:
The moderation system is a tad flawed, I'll admit. The rules for the thread feel vague enough to the point that one mod may infract someone for something another mod wouldn't infract someone for, and what is/isn't allowed is far too cloudy. Plus, Noipoi's other infractions were hours away from expiring. So if he didn't make that joke until two hours later, he just wouldn't get the ban? I dunno, I struggle to wrap my head around it. And I've basically been "infraction-targeted" by a former mod a while back, this issue isn't old. I think that the rules and/or infraction system need some streamlining.

Sometimes people double post and it's fine but sometimes I'm fairly certain there's warnings given out. I once got infracted for making a "ur mom" joke ironically when several other people (mainly Noipoi and Duxx) weren't getting infracted for said things.

It does feel weird how it's very inconsistent, and when it is consistent it's very strict for things that one doesn't need to be strict about.

Ok so after using Blitzgreymon in battle he seems to do less damage than Metalgreymon. Strangely. He's got more power so he has a higher chance to hit and evade but it's weird he's doing less damage.

Edit: LOL, I guess he was just hungry

Geez, I've seen that topic discussed numerous times on threads within the past several years and I've never seen anyone get infracted/banned for it. It really does seem to vary by mod and if you're lucky enough to not have a more strict one come across it.

I honestly think that infracting someone for a playful joke is a bit dumb, but even then, if they're going to infract for things like that, they need to do it consistently. The less consistently they do it, the more the line between infraction-worthy and not infraction-worthy is blurred. Back when I was getting "infraction targeted", I was also getting infracted for things others weren't.

I understand that the mod team can't operate 100% flawlessly, but I'd at least like them to address these issues.

Apparently, it seems the mods are not consistent with each other about the rules, and the rules seem less consistent overall.

Moderation a few years ago and moderation now has changed quite a bit. I've noticed that the mods have been a bit more strict ever since the whole Brelooming Disaster situation. But even then, that's long passed.

And that's exactly why I don't joke around much. What is allowed and what crosses the line is way too subjective at times and it just ain't worth it.

Well, in other news, I finally grinded for all 25 Hoenn contest ribbons on a single Pokemon. It was hell, but totally worth it... except for destroying my moveset. Gotta have to trade Swampert over to Ruby or Leaf Green now just to teach it Earthquake again.

It would be much easier if I could just level him up, but alas, can't cross level 50 because of the damn Battle Tower.
