Don't know if this is the place, but if any mods read this: Next time you issue a warning, try to not be disrespectful with your user. Not cool at all.

 

[GymWolf]

Can someone explain to me what was that menace about me missing the day one if i try to open again a topic about console war just because i posted this post in the first ps5 review topic??

Yeah i guess that some comparions with sex are gonna be found in almost every review, it's normal when they launch so closely to each other.

Where the hell i tried to open a topic about console war? i just posted a comment about the review in the review topic.

 

[Piku_Ringo]

Your post in the thread [Embargo broken] PlayStation 5 - First Review was moved to PS5 embargo lifts today (06/11/20) MEGATHREAD. Reason: Use the megathread, if you try and start a console war thread again, you'll be missing the launch here.

Soapy Wooder But I didn't create that thread, nor did I make any other thread trying to start a console war either.

I hate to agree with you guys, but I got the same alert about a post that have nothing to do with console warring.

Soapy Wooder whats going on? ctrl+c ctrl+v alert msn?

 

[ManaByte]

Can I ask why this post is worthy of a ban warning?

That can't be real, can it? The PS4 is able to resume a game that's suspended.

I didn't even start a thread. I was responding to a post that claimed the PS5 can only quick resume one game.

 

[Piku_Ringo]

Damn, and I thought I was being singled out for something I didn't do.

No, he probably get tired of move and merge threads around the forum and paste every alert. Nothing against, but I just find weird everyone receiving the same msn.

That was curious so I've just looked, unfortunately this looks to be an issue where a warning was issued and a move posts was done at the same time, so everyone that was ticked for a 'move' would also get the same message. Just discount it for now, it hasn't actually added warnings or anything. You just got an alert not meant for you. Probably most of you in that thread will get it. Let's wait for the masses now.

 

[TintoConCasera]

I love having mods here that try to maintain a good vibe to discuss about games, but IMO this kind of messages are counter-productive.

I think this is all EviLore 's idea of "scheduled maintenmece"!
All these suicidal accounts were taking up precious server space.

It was explained above. Sorry didn’t see it

 

[Happosai]

Sorry just woke up. Is it saying it came from me?

Probably not. (For the record I've never received any warnings to date)
Typically when the mods message it doesn't leave a name and I feel for good reason that's because as you mentioned in a post from a few months ago -- bans are based on collected analysis of more than one mod. I imagine warnings displaying the messages would cause people to start ripping on individual mods and it's better the names are not there. You're getting tagged because you're a real popular guy, I guess.

 

[GymWolf]

Oooh, i was expecting some exotic explanation like some reeee user hacking gaf or some shit

 

[DonJuanSchlong]

I'm really not sure which section will beat the world record for bans in a day on GAF, Political or Gaming forum. Users place your bets here.

For Political

For Gaming

P.S. Dial back the overly blatant console warring, kids!

[+Multiple] Enjoy the two warrior. You've had your warnings, time to reflect like a ray traced ray.

haha i love the ban comments sometimes

The Reers have taken the lead, but the console warriors are not going down without a fight.

Stay tuned for further developments in Dumbass Decision Night 2020.

Personally, I think there's something fishy. Console warriors dominate the ban list all year, and out of nowhere Reers take over?

There is no way that Reers are more unlikable than console warriors.

[John Mullins]

Are Sony's servers ready for the onslaught of digital PS5 owners?

Can't imagine having a digital PS5 and trying to get some games day one. At least Astro Bot is preloaded, isn't it? My internet is a little better than crappy, it can take me hours to get a game, sometimes the best part of a day - or more, worst case scenario. Also if it fails a few times...

www.neogaf.com

Why was this shut down? Did a trigger happy mod jump to conclusions that is was a hater thread? I am a PS fan and will be getting the PS5, the discussion in this thread was entirely reasonable???

WTF is a concern post?

Pathetic.

Now that Biden has 'won', What's to stop Gaf going back to 2016?

With reps/cons/right-wing/far-right and literally Hitlers no longer having a voice in the mainstream, how will the mods and community gauge where the centre ground is, moving forward?

(Didn't know where else to ask this)

[darkangel-212559]

Can we PLEASE start to fucking ban fucking assholes who fucking think it's a good idea to legit spoil games before they are even out yet? Someone in the Spiderman MM game length thread saw fit to quote a spoiler from a review outlet and it's really not on.

People have a right to enjoy games and experience them for themselves without selfish fucking assholes seeing it fit to ruin it for other people.

I’m sure this has been said. But looking at the account suicides, losing all those people to reset is probably the best thing that ever happened to this community. I probably wouldn’t be active here (or any other message board) if that hadn’t happened.

Mods are a bad idea in general. They are power hungry dweebs... there should be a simple self regulating system. If someone is getting negged more than likes it's obvious, then their powers to post should be automatically curtailed, then banned outright. No human scanning for perceived outrage. Bad topics be would routed out essentially instantaneously.

It shouldn't be left to one person, that's ripe for abuse as we see elsewhere, but it happens pretty much on any forum there are active mods.

You should create your utopian vision elsewhere and see how it goes. Nothing could possibly go wrong with automatically banning people for being mass downvoted, I’m certain.

 

[John Mullins]

There's that welcoming feeling us mere mortals get from higher ups. Toe the line or fuck off, basically.

An auto system would be pretty easy to do in many ways, abuse of it would get yourself banned and you'd get a notice telling you that. Of course that's no fun. But just looking at the ban reasons page, it seems sneering and unprofessional, not that there is a need to be professional it's just a forum but I'm surprised that is able to be seen publicly.

The forum's been under attack for the last several days from dozens of ResetEra trolls due to the US elections. Wartime conditions, so typical procedures are suspended for those users.

Transparency is a good thing, keeps the users informed of the mods actions.

The Republican party did not cease to exist; it did not even lose all power, Republicans still lead the senate. Moreover, I can tell you from a country where the "new" far right has not been in the government yet, they can dominate the discourse pretty well anyway, at least on certain issues.

Imagine comparing "no we won't get rid of all the mods and turn this site into a Reddit updoot shithole because I said so" to "fuck off"

What an entitled prick
