Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I was just giving you a little shit. Relax, man. You got banned from a shitty forum. Let it go. Sounds like the place sucks anyway.
The problem I see is it's the #1 video-game forum in existence. That shitty place represents a lot of us gamers and I think plays a little into the negative stereotypes we receive if we say we're gamers.

All the more reason to stay the fuck away from it.
 
I tried reaching out via their support email before I found out all that other info. The site took 4 months to approve to post. It's like a walled off community. There is no way they're going to listen to me.

Also, I don't think I took it too far. It's just information I dug up after the fact. I don't go on places to blast social justice warriors. I certainly don't do that here do I? I like to have a good discussion.

I was banned for criticizing Kevin Durant by a warriors fan mod. FYI he banned people last year just for rooting for the cavs in the NBA thread and for celebrating once they won. He's a shill and a shithead. He's a shillhead.

I wasn't banned for blasting sjw's and I wasn't going to talk about that stuff. I saw an nba thread complaining about parity, I explained why, I was banned.

I read the thread Ty.. I saw why you were banned.. Guy told you to cool it, and .. you felt the need to respond essentially reaffirming your position. He banned you.

I'm not saying it's right, yes, Durant is a coward; and sure fuck that mod. But I also don't see why you'd take it this far?

I'd just move on bruh... Seriously, this shit seems to be causing you some extent of personal distress and it ain't worth it..

I didn't think posting about my experience was taking it too far? Especially considering how popular gaf is.

All I did was reaffirm why I thought that way and agreed I wouldn't call him a coward again. Then bam, banned. And that passes as Moderation?

That should tell you something about the overall quality of the site. We're you really going to be happy there having to suck up to shitty mods and edit your thoughts so that shitheads don't get "offended"?

Most definitely not. I still wanted to report my experience because we have a lot of gamers here. I'd like to put it out there that they don't represent th gamer and their conduct is sending our group backwards.

Ty, your first affirmation was given a warning.. Reaffirming it is what got you banned.

What you did was essentially this:

You) Kevin Durant is a coward
Mod) Can that shit, we've discussed it..
You) Fine, Kevin Durant is a coward; but whatever, I won't say it again.

You then got banned, and dude explained why.

Again, I agree with you that Kevin Durant is a coward, but you're flipping out talking about this guy's business, FTC violations, and some dude nutting on a photo which has nothing to do with anything.. That's why I said you're taking this way too personally and way too seriously.

It's not worth the time and effort bro...

I mean, anyone who has played any game online knows that the gaming community is absolutely filled with toxic assholes, racists, scumbags, and more. Team Fortress 2 has a better community than most and it's still got a ton of assholes. I can't even tell you how many times I've seen people call other people cuck since Trump was elected and the right popularized the phrase.

Popular games like Call of Duty are ridiculously toxic.
 
Maybe we can turn this discussion into why the gaming community is so shitty, petty, arrogant, demanding?

A lot of gamers make demands and ultimatums of game developers as if it's a human right to have certain features, performance ect.

His explanation was that my post was snarky and he believed I was incapable of arguing in good faith. Thus permanent ban.

Do you believe any of that explanation to be true? That it was snarky and that i'm incapable of having a rational discussion about basketball?

I think a lot of that is that developers have a habit of promising things they can't or don't end up delivering.

You've got a lot of immature gamers, a lot who don't play sports so this is their only way to dominate an opponent. In real sports, kids learn from coaches who, presumably, teach the fundamentals of the particular sport alongside sportsmanship and respect for the game. Video gamers don't grow up learning to play from a coach, so they don't learn how to be a gracious winner. Instead, if they become good at the game many of them turn into assholes on a power trip.

I agree that game developers shouldn't be absolved of criticism. At the same time I see a lot of whining and demands being made. It's becoming very elitist and I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of developers hate their customers.
 
Do you guys ever play a game now where you think to yourself "Holy shit, if I had this game as a 9 year old.." and it's a game people are endlessly bitching or whining about. I think we've become jaded with how much great content and entertainment is available.
