Ban me please

I skimmed the thread when it was first created. I don't know how far it escalated. I saw it was about a creepy game, I nodded to some criticisms, though maybe the op went a bit too far later on in the discussion? I really can't recall and I didn't pay attention to the updates. I still think that the tag shaming of the fascist sjw era should be left in the past.

Why are you so defensive about the whole left thing? What does it matter if some people on the left shit on Trump? I'm left leaning and I also hate that blanket statement shit. Now what? The left is such a wide term and most sane people denounce the crazy far left. That doesn't mean I'm gonna applause everything on the other spectrum though.
It might come as a shock but not everything is black and white.
I understand many were frustrated and became resentful in the toxic sjw era on GAF, but let's not drop to their level with the same generalizing and dismissing opinions based solely wether they sit on the left or on the right spectrum.
Let's just agree to disagree like civilized people, find some common ground and move on.

Are you implying shark sandwich was being civilized? How did you completely miss the whole "labeling everyone as pedophiles and incels" shark sandwich is guilty of that started this whole thread? Insults is not an opinion! He got what he deserved.

This site hasn't gone down hill since the big 'exodus', it's improved greatly. I've seen freedom of speech promoted heavily on here, and just because you were closed down because of a distasteful remark, does not mean that freedom of speech isn't still in tact. Moderators have to straddle the concept of freedom of speech and how that freedom of speech is expressed very carefully. In all honesty, I would have likely had a quiet word and not banned you, but without full context I can't decide whether it was a little premature or the result of an ongoing conversation that built to a warranted ban. It's either too harsh or completely warranted, but it's certainly hasn't got anything to do with freedom of speech per se.

What I don't understand is why people need to announce if they want leave the site!!? I used to be in Gamespot's forum but I just got sick of all that system wars BS in there and I just left and My account still there but I just stopped visiting, simple as that.
As someone mentioned earlier its likely a bit of attention whoring. Or perhaps an ultimatum. In which case, dont play with fire unless you expect to get burned.

I mean there are days i get salty from gaf, the common sense in me just says “just take a few days off from posting. Simple.”

I was banned for a month for "console warring". That's fine. I agree that my comment was perhaps inappropriate, and as I already mentioned... The tag is what it is.

The inconsistency becomes apparent when you have posters such as thelastword here. He's almost internet famous at this point for his console warring. He wouldn't survive on any other gaming forum for except maybe over at Gamespot.
Yet he's been allowed to console war here safely for years.

If you're wanting a more direct example, you can go take a look at user DForce. All he does here is war for his preferred console. Seeing as his posts were far more warring and numerous than mine... I thought perhaps a mod would speak with him. I even asked in the comment box of the report function if he was your alt, seeing as he apparently has no moderation. It was in jest of course, but you get the point.

I would have no issue with any of his comments whatsoever, if the same rules were applied to everyone including myself, but they aren't.

Disclaimer: None of my posts are to be taken serious or offensive. Sony's PS4 is the best console on the market.

I recommend focusing less on grudges against other users here. If you can't coexist with them peaceably, put them on ignore and move on with your life. We carefully monitor these users and take action as appropriate.

Also we don't deny climate change. We deny the lie that co2 is the cause.
Climate change science is a lie that doesn't even take into consideration the big burning ball of nuclear electric fire a hundred million miles away or what ever..
So yes, you are a climate change denier, which is a completely moronic position to say it in a friendly way.

No. The tag was given as an alternative to a perm, for abusive behavior and disregarding mod warnings.

Can you please explain my tag? I know it's because I have the opinion that Gaf is heavily in favor for Sony in general (for obvious reasons since it has four times as much as other consoles), but isn't my tag really sexual? Like I'm giving some Sony guy a blowjob?

I'd rather like a xbox fanboy tag or something, but sexual like that is really... Saddening.

I'm willing to hear all viewpoints and opinions with an open mind, but dude?

Astrology is your answer, really?
You realise that farmers use astrology to time when to plant crops? They were among the first people to feel the effects of the earth's wobble.

"Were you dropped on your head as a baby?" is an insult suggesting that you have brain damage from negligent parenting.
 
I don't get the super hate the op is getting. Yeah these type of threads are lame but the tag he caught is really scummy. The mod that did that needs to fuck off from gaf, petty as all hell.

I also YouTubed that gun gun pixie game....if you play that shit you a fucking suspect as fuck. Fucking weirdos would play that shit, people with kids should be cautious around you.

Take a long hard look at yourselves in the mirror.

I think the game is weird but my experience of those people isn't that they're pedophiles; it's more that they're stunted in their development of sexual attraction to real people.

For better or worse, it's a separate issue and I can only assume that why they're not happy about being called pedophiles.

Total conjecture though. Would be a really interesting social research topic.

This site is currently the best it has ever been. And I was lurking GAF since 2006.
Good to know that there’s people here that has sense at least. Just because you got a tag and a ban doesn’t mean you get to discredit how far GAF is going. But hey, what do I know right? EviLore EviLore give him his perma ban please bro. We don’t need people that decides to leave the family for a stupid reason

I don't get this shit sometimes, this seems wrong to me. If you don't want the guy here, take away his access, don't draw dicks on his face and kick him around.

Seems like a shitty way to treat someone to me. If he's being an asshole, give him warnings, if he's not heeding them, maybe he's not a good fit for the place. But to say "Well, we were going to kick him out permanently, but instead we decided to keep him around with an insulting tag to see if that changes things", seems, wrong.

I agree 100%.

I would not be defending this mods actions at all. Publicly shaming someone in this way isn’t fair or reasonable. Given the subject matter GAF needs to be very careful with this.

Interesting turn of events.

Is the tag really that insulting, though?

It's a factual statement of his beliefs. If he finds the act of attributing his opinions to himself demeaning, one has to wonder why he expressed those opinions in the first place.

If the mods made my tag into some sorta wild shit I've said, I'd wear it with pride.

It is wrong. That’s why it seems that way.

Didn't research the post history, but he feels it's a dig against him doesn't he? It is, isn't it? As a ban alternative? Whatever, not my place.

Totally agree.
If the guy is a jerk who comes here doing nothing but accusations and offend members, this guy should be punished and if the behaviour continues be kicked out of Gaf. Theres no need keep those types who offends others because of games. Don't like the game or a member? Ignore them and move on. That goes for everybody in this thread who keep giving bad names to people.

If he feels it is demeaning than that is an internal conflict that he needs to resolve on his own.

He decided to pick some weeb-trash game and insult everyone who has ever played it, not the least of which is the statement that the majority are pedophiles and incels.

Those are hefty labels to throw around, and if you want to throw them around based on tastes in videogames then you deserve to be exposed as a moron.

Hey Tyler it's Shark Sandwich, just borrowing my friend's account real quick (but you can delete it, he doesn't care). Firstly, cute thing you did there with the tag. Secondly, just for clarification are you seriously okay with the way NeoGaf is right now? There will be an Incel Community | OT thread by the end of the year (if there isn't one already). Is the site's moral grotesqueity supposed to be your revenge against the "sjw" who scorned you? Good grief. No offense but be honest, if you heard of someone else doing that, wouldn't you think that it's the most pathetic and predicatble thing ever?

As a fellow human being, if you're not seeing a therapist already, I urge you to consider it.

All of the mod actions on his account were related to this specific reaction toward weeb games. He hasn't been reforming, but we'd prefer not to ban him over such silly nonsense. Alternative actions like this are considered in such cases, and here it's presumably intended to get in front of the next time he walks into a thread and intends to go overboard again. Maybe it leads to some self-reflection, maybe people know he has a chip on his shoulder and to ignore rather than engage.

It's not petty, juvenile, or tyrannical. It's a finesse action. He chose to make this account suicide thread in response, which is unfortunate but not very surprising. He hasn't been banned at this time, so that we can talk it out and understand each other better.

That's nothing. Our national association of Physicists hired astrologists, mediums and various other "scientists", causing a rift among them and international ridicule. Our Education Ministry said they'll stop contacts with them unless some persons leave

EviLore EviLore is a delete my own content or profile option somewhere in the pipeline ? The inability to delete posts yourself always seemed to confuse me personally.
 
I said these kinds of games are targeted at pedos, incels, and shut-ins.
Uh no. I was specifically making fun of one stupid weeb game, not all anime.

So which one is it? Both statements do not agree!

Maybe you should stop making unfounded assumptions about people based on what sort of games they play. I enjoy all sorts of entertainment, from silly and cheap B action movies to classic literature, from Witcher 3 to Genital Jousting, but none of that defines me as a person. From D&D to video games in general, I'm used to being stigmatized by society at large for my interests, yet I'm still leading a disciplined and prosperous life. It's always sad to see fellow gamers perpetuate the same prejudices.

Your tag is well deserved, making you taste some of your own bitter medicine.
