i mean he's right though

you had to fuck up REAL bad (or like, break the law) to be put on the old KoS, and it was an extremely narrow subsection of troublemakers that got hit with it. like, KoS would sometimes involve contacting the authorities

Do you mind if I ask if you had a history of being modded? Sometimes if you poke the bear enough times, mods start looking for reasons to get at you.
Completely clean history for the first one, and only the first one when I got the second. Both were only NKLs tho.

On a side note, KoS these days is automatic if your main gets banned. You cant bypass purgatory with alts either anymore (bypassing warnings is still allowed).
Without your Trumble, you are but an empty shell.
Got modded for quoting a line from Blazing Saddles - the line in question contained a certain derogatory term and although I censored accordingly, I was still modded.
When ancient man screamed and beat on the ground with sticks, they called it WITCHCRAFT.
When modern man does the same thing, they call it GOLF.

I remember reading once that the mods on here caught an arsonist. Basically it was something like, there was a news thing on cnn talking about some arsonist on the loose. And the dude either made a topic bragging about it or posted in a topic discussing it. And from what I understand, he posted proof when people said they didnt believe him.

The mods here have some channel for reaching out to law enforcement, and they turned the guy in. Mods later confirmed he was arrested.

The mods have created some kind of.....policy where someone they don't like can be modded unjustifiably, as long as they were modded justifiably in the past.

My most recent topic in Ask the Mods highlights this, I was banned for something specific, which wasn't justifiable, but because I had been modded before, and I was arguing with someone, they allowed it to stand.

A few times a while back. The only one that sticks out in my mind is the jazz incident.

For some reason, everyone was creating a topic about jazz. But it was used in a way such as "I jazzed in your milk". That's the one that got me. They were happening so much that the first 2-3 pages on potd were almost all about jazz.

A mod bomb went off as someone described it, and pretty much all the topics got deleted. I made two, I don't remember the other one, but the one I got modded for was the one I mentioned above.

As far as I remember, I've got two bans in the late Politics board, one lasted 30 days and the second, issued a month or two later, lasted 60 days. After that I decided I wasn't going to participate in the board anymore, but when I came back the board was gone.

Besides that I can't remember having my posts moderated or removed at all.

Sophie's gimmick was to use "jazz" in place of "stuff" and similar terms very frequently (in the same vein as "and all that jazz," just without the full idiom). There was a day where people dogpiled on adopting that gimmick themselves and made a bunch of fad topics leaning into it. Most of those got modded for disruptive posting, as often happens with fad topics that actually take off.
This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts.

I miss that kind of thing. Fad topics, fun user gimmicks. Seems PotD is kind of calmed down now.

What was it for?

Yes. The recent one was for apparently been "racist" for saying anyone can learn any language if they wanted outside of disabilities obviously. I'm well aware this might get modded again but tell me when I'm telling lies.

In what way is this racist? Honestly, that sounds anti-racist actually, in that you SHOULD be putting an effort into understanding other cultures.

Edit: Ohhh, yeah it was probably in the context of "People who move to an English-speaking country should learn English. Double standards, aren't they great?

And yet every survey lists every possible person, then "white" as if there isn't 20 different variations of white.

Nothing will ever beat Demonoid_Phenomenon's destruction of the Fire Emblem board in 2008 or so. There was some sort of yearly event that always led to fad topics on a particular date, but for some reason one year got wildly out of hand and he nuked several thousand fad topics from just that board all in one day. Basically every active user on that board ended up suspended and he pinned a topic about how he'd kept a list of those involved which he'd continue checking all their active posts when they returned from purgatory to suspend them again as necessary.

I once made a joke about being negative two years old or something. They actually temporarily locked my account while they determined whether or not I was underage.

that's a legal liability issue, not them thinking you were literally negative two

that's a line it's just best not to toe for the sake of any joke on gamefaqs

Yes but similar to the statement, "I'm dead," it cannot be taken seriously because the mere fact the statement was made dispels any possibility that it could be true.

if posting while dead was explicitly illegal, they would probably ban or warn you for that statement too

easier to ban nuance than risk some kind of dumb litigation loophole for a company

Oh would you look at that, I just got my first moderation on this account for... stating that a fictional, animated character is attractive?

Reason: Criminal activity, drug use, cheating in online games, personally identifiable information, etc

Change in ownership. The place needs to be sanitized for the advertisers and the non existent new users management is trying to bring in.

True. Every suspension I've ever had was under the current ownership.
