Topic | So will Gfaqs start banning people for speaking out against China? |
Raze_Razel 10/17/19 6:48:46 PM #94 | Johnny Eagle posted... ...............one moderated post is worth this much complaining? >_> that's how they win....You might think it's "just one topic"....but it seems I'm not the only one either. So how frequent do China topics get deleted from this site? I mean if people like you are thinking this thread is a rare occasion, while other people chiming in and say they've seen others get deleted too? That's some crazy productive social engineering going on, if it's got you thinking I'm the outlier here. |

So by focusing on one thing, and not the billion other issues of the world, I'm the selfish one? that's pretty lame logic you got there. |

Raze_Razel 10/17/19 4:35:59 PM #86 | ....IT IS actually because of the mention of "China"?.... China is suddenly a trolling topic that's on your blacklist? Is it gFAQs policy to moderate the topic of China (in any form, direct or indirectly)? This is actually the point of this thread, and the one you falsely deleted. What do gamers have to fear when playing modern videogames online, or involved in communities? Does gFAQs tow that line, being connected to that industry? Or do you grit your teeth, give people freedom (against your wishes), but holy SHIT if someone does actually cross the line with a bad word, you got your far-reaching non-excuse to send them to 'warning' status?....is this how's it done on gFAQs? But please, don't get me wrong here, these barrages of questions isn't raging (yet), I figured getting all my questions out in the open first is better than going tit-for-tat, post after post. In short, at this point, I'm just looking for evidence that you and gFAQs aren't some pro-China prostitute (as I explained above). |

Raze_Razel 10/17/19 4:34:54 PM #85 | As well, no "real" explanation was given on either the first moderation, nor the reason for being upheld. Automated message says: Users may not post any content that intentionally antagonizes other users by being inflammatory, irrelevant, disruptive, or offensive Seriously?....that's how weak you're going to take it?..... the worse thing I said was "shit-talk".... and all the Xuhu started to melt right away? You let Bulbasaur/Destiny/Hellwithoutsin troll on this board with multiple accounts...and your tits are twisted over "shit"?.....please, tell me you have more sense than that. So like your post here, I know you're hiding behind that "we don't have to explain ourselves" part of the TOU, which gives you all the excuse in the world to avoid responsibility toward whatever intellectual authority you think you have. Yet on the other hand,...you are here......so.. +++ LET'S DO IT.....explain the moderation process here and now. Wipe the slate clean, start from scratch, square one, here we go.... I said, starting a topic on the FFXIV board: Does shit-talking about China get you banned from this game too? Since thats Blizzards policy, but since SQEX is of Eastern shores has there been any mass bannings in FFXIV for speaking against China? read it, stare at it for a few minutes, soak it in....... I'm expecting a human response here. it was deleted because "you" said: MODERATION REASON - TROLLING Users may not post any content that intentionally antagonizes other users by being inflammatory, irrelevant, disruptive, or offensive Okay,...so where did I go wrong? "shit-talking" is the worse thing I've might have said, but that's hardly an issue since you have a profanity blocker on site. And it almost common speech in most of the world too, almost forgivable if the audience is aware of how context and slang works. It sounds reaching on a pathetic level to think "that" was the issue....but if it was, and I chose another word to soothe virgin ears like "protest"? or even "mentioning"? maybe "have open conversation about China"?....you think that'll fly? If I were to repost this exact same subject matter, and edited without "shit", reworded so it's not spamming, it's not going to get modded? Do I always have to include huge long, drawn out post like #58 here to explain my position on why I am asking such a question? I mean be real here, the average person reading posts on gFAQs can't handle a whole paragraph at any given time. So I kept it short in hopes that the overall meaning and intent would've spoke for itself; apparently not in this case. So would I have to type out large essays that no one would read to avoid moderation? Seems kind of slimy, huh? I mean, you could say "yes", and I'd write a word-salad essay, and the point still won't get across because no one is bothering to read it, so they can't respond to it. And you'd have your troll lackeys to cool the situation. Overall though, you'd rely on your audience's apathy to silence me; interesting notion, ingenius, even diabolical if the motive was more in line with the larger elephant in the room..... |

Raze_Razel 10/17/19 4:34:48 PM #84 | Alpha218 posted... you did not prove your thread was not against the ToU Look up..... Raze_Razel posted... I started that topic, focusing that game in relation to a real world event. Not directly about the Hong Kong protests, but about that Hearthstone player talking about the protests in a gaming environment. That game published by Activision/Blizzard, which also publishes World of Warcraft, and already their General Discussion board is frantically censoring all talk about the issue (even to the point that their moderator quit the company altogether). ...so what about other gaming companies? Namely Square Enix, based in Japan, neighbor to China, 2nd best MMO to WoW, possibly a larger Chinese following than that of WoW.....how bad do their moderators and GMs have it to censor people? I mean, anyone passing fifth grade could've seen where I was coming from in my deleted post, but you sent me to trial without bothering to understand the context of a simply worded post? If I said exactly this in the moderation screen, would I have gotten the thread reinstated? You could've just responded to the "bending the knee" comment I made, and assured me it wasn't about Chinese-based censorship, prove there is a human on the other side of the screen here. But you didn't, did you? Alpha218 posted... because the moderation team, as youve already stated in this thread, read your dispute and chose to uphold the moderation. I doubt it was a team effort, just some pro-China cubicle lackey (who never learned about freedom in school) who never bothered actually analyzing that post decided to go off on his own volition. And again, that deleted thread is not being a violation of the TOU in the first place....so keep that part in mind. |

Raze_Razel 10/17/19 2:25:30 PM #81 | Destiny posted... i didn't get banned at all, i got warned, and it wasn't because of you, so shut the fuck up, ok? Nope,...looking closer at that screen shot from your alt account, I'd say your fuck ups with the gif contributed greatly to the warned status, you'd be still lying if you place the entire fault of your punishment on that one thread alone. the reason why i chanted fair, as did everyone else in this topic also, was because it was fair Everything you say is easy to miss since you never explain anything at all. Since you didn't even quote me the exact article in the TOU, and I've explained how that topic does NOT fall under those guild-lines. I'm even betting you haven't even read that TOU at all..... you just "think" that's what it says, based off of experience on your own fuck ups. yeah, we know so we're back to calling you a liar now....okay, done. nah, it was definitely fair It's not a fair moderation. "Next" See the difference between you and me is that I can articulate myself well enough to prove how that topic was not in violation of the TOU. The mere fact that it touches on the China/HK issue and gFAQs' bias for them was the determining factor in why they arbitrary erased it. Therefore until a moderator is brave enough to acknowledge this issue, it's obviously they are pro-China; either by belief and commitment, or by prostitution. The topic wasn't "off-topic" as it involved the game directly, like any other topic on a game about mechanics, community, fan-fiction, or rallying other players for 'quality of life' changes to the game...... my topic actually brushed on most of those aspects, so it wasn't even close to being 'off-topic'. But you being the troll you are, along with your alt-account/invisible friends to back you up, is just saying "it's fair", while not even quoting the actual article that was made "20 years ago", adding no explanation......you're JUST saying "it's fair" to troll and nothing more. so shut the fuck up, ok? make me |

Raze_Razel 10/16/19 11:02:46 PM #75 | Destiny posted... Raze_Razel posted...HelIWithoutSin posted...Raze_Razel posted...Baiting this hard with a special gif made just for me.... There's so many levels of wrong here, it's laughable. You got banned because you pathetically made a gif to directly insult me. It got deleted and 2 seconds later you got the ban. So that story about Dead Space is flat out lying bullshit. Second, for the millionth time over your many other accounts,....YOU HAD NO SPEECH TO SUPPRESS!!....No opinion, no counter argument. Even on this last post. You keep chanting "it's fair", but never detailing how. Therefore, Troll, you got nothing. Third, Hypocrite? If you actually presented a valid counter argument, even wrong as it would've been, if I did abuse the report function to silence you. Then I would be the hypocrite. So again, you never presented any speech to begin with...so there's nothing to suppress, you're a victim of nothing. No hypocrisy here. And finally...the moderation was not fair, as the topic was directly related to the game itself and not off-topic. |

Raze_Razel 10/16/19 2:20:16 AM #71 | OniRonin posted... it's odd to me that you're so mad about countries listening to china but don't seem very interested in systemic oppression from corporate interests thats been happening in your own country for decades Oh I am interested, tell me any story of injustice and I'll side with the righteousness all the way. But this is a topic about China/HK situation (and it's impact on the videogame industry, because you know 'staying on topic') and not about Kapernick's fight against systemic racism. So just because I'm not focusing on the billion other things wrong on this planet, doesn't mean it's any less diminished than the next issue besides the next one after. Worlds F'd, can only handle one issue at a time. So where you think I can only be about one issue or the other and not both is quite a logical fallacy. Good try on the double-standard shot, but you missed. I've already said, "Racial injustice and systematic oppression in the country is obviously wrong" so where is this hypocrisy you're so eager to point out?....but then there are obvious cultural differences between China & HK and the US, in how they handle their social problems. To my interpretation of HK's events, billion of people are crammed into the street to fight on the simple basic notion of freedom. I mean, a poster on this thread linked a video of protester doing a flying kick on a policeman trying to snatch away other protester. US deludes themselves on the imaginary power of social media, and demands policies of immediate self-entitlement to balance the issue; even at the expense of other people. Sometimes without a clear unifying message, which is why movements like Occupy Wall-Street is such a failure. No different that someone who can articulate themselves well to express their opinion like Kapernick, over someone like a random tweeter seeing racism in the clouds.....what's the message? Who's responsible for the systemic racism? Who's making these policies in 2019? Give me a name, and I'll happily say "F that guy".... but the problem is the majority of people who are concerned don't know how to unify and solidify their message unless there is something in it for them. "I see racism in the clouds, where's my reparation?".... that's not selling anything; showing me it's more about getting a free meal, and perhaps their cause could be more pronounced to the nation (even HK's issues). And until they start unifying and solidifying, the best shot they have is to keep the argument in a haze of generalization, using buzzwords like "systemic racism" in a fashion where no can know what exactly is the rule, the policy, or the law that's keeping non-white people from advancing in this society.....not unlike HK, where the message is pretty clear cut and focused. So again, it's kind of weak for you to plop down the Kapernick topic where really his story has very little to do with videogames at all. So he's never going to be on the cover of the next Madden game because he bit the hand that fed to preserve his beliefs, a shame, but again I don't follow football..... but MY topic is about the videogame industry directly, here on gFAQs. With a game I do follow, and a real world event that could impact it. ....so why get bent over something that isn't being said? How dare you not mentioning European Sex Traffickers in all this....or the return of the Black Plague in Seattle, or why Cacciato's self-stimulation?.... |

Dude had something to say, he said it, got blasted for it....he shouldn't be mistreated for it, by the NFL or anyone else. But he was. Do I agree with him? Not the point, but it depends on the exact letter of his message. Racial injustice and systematic oppression in the country is obviously wrong, but how far does he take that message? Is he one of those types who sees racism everywhere, even in clouds? Is he just saying those things because he wants to please his fanbase, so they buy his brand? Or has he actually made a TED talk speech about the finer points of systemic racism in the country; clauses in the constitution, policies that specifically target non-whites that prevent advancement? |

Raze_Razel 10/15/19 11:17:30 PM #58 | Cacciato posted... Sounds like it was. Please stop crying. It's not, so stop acting like a petulant child give me a real answer if you can. I started that topic, focusing that game in relation to a real world event. Not directly about the Hong Kong protests, but about that Hearthstone player talking about the protests in a gaming environment.

Namely Square Enix, based in Japan, neighbor to China, 2nd best MMO to WoW, possibly a larger Chinese following than that of WoW.....how bad do their moderators and GMs have it to censor people? Now think of this based on the common gaming consumer...... Final Fantasy, practically a 40 year old franchise, beloved by any veteran of gaming around the world. Pays nearly $60 - $100 on the base game and possibly MTX fan servicing, and a few months of subs.....puts in months of progress into his character, and suddenly he's erased from the server he was playing on? You pay over $500 to maintain the upkeep on the game, and suddenly someone with 'moral authority' decides to ban your account? "Why buy the game then?" Now my backstory with FFXIV was that when ARR released, I played pretty faithfully to the end of the second expansion, then quit the game. 3 years and two expansions go by, and I'm thinking of returning to the game. But in light of recent events, I'm was just wondering if I have to watch what I say playing this particular game.....this is a very legit FFXIV topic. I'm going to re-invest my time and money in that game, only to find out I could lose it all in an instant because someone in game chat typed "China" and all the alarm bells started to go off, and I'm on a list?....Obviously, I can't go to the game's official forums, so I come here. ...and what do I get? The exact same fucking thing I was afraid of......the only saving grace is not giving gFAQs my money. |

Raze_Razel 10/15/19 8:17:28 PM #51 | TheWitchMorgana posted... hey isn't it weird that that topic about china got deleted but this one didn't (and even had mods posting in it)? China excels at employing Orwellian methods to control the people and the message. So who knows if the mods are playing 'bad cop/good cop' here. I hate delving into conspiracy theories, so perhaps all of this was a mistake....? Like maybe a pro-China patsy snuck into the ranks of their moderation staff and started working for the motherland. BUT since the gFAQs team 'doesn't have to explain themselves', they can allow all the fuck ups they want and not get called on it. That's probably why one of the mods on this thread acted all clueless and stated that he agree with the protest, and he probably does, but he's not the one in charge of moderating the FFXIV board is he? So perhaps I'd like to believe that it's not gFAQs policy overall, but just the single few slimy cowards who planted themselves into these positions to commit subterfuge, ....like SJW for identity politics that think all speech is hate speech (but that's a whole other topic). |

I made my point clear as day, and it still flew over his head. Sound like the same trolling tactic that Bulbasaur used before he got his temp-ban. But in case it's not, and he's just some copycat, I'll explain it one more time to him: hellwithoutsin posted... So not only are you suppressing free speech, you're trying to force others to replace theirs with your own. Sounds awfully a lot like a totalitarian government that's been in the news a lot recently. He had no speech to suppress in the first place, so he's no victim. I had speech, he/you tried to suppress it, and he/you failed miserably. Walking into a room and being a [troll] is not an exercise of free speech, you're just being a [troll]; and you should be rightly moderated as such. ..this is not a hard concept to understand... |

Raze_Razel 10/15/19 5:08:24 PM #40 | HelIWithoutSin posted... Raze_Razel posted...Baiting this hard with a special gif made just for me.... funny you think there is a double standard here. So I'll guess I'll explain it to you then....tldr: He had no speech to suppress. For starters, if I were you, I'd ask this same question to him, if he wasn't in warned status now..... I mean, all he's done since I presented this topic was insult me without any real discussion to the topic at hand. He said "it was a fair moderation", I'm saying "it's not (and explained as such)....then he started making gifs attacking me directly, instead of hammering out a discussion where I could be wrong on any level, from the actual China topic, to gFAQs shoddy moderation practices. He didn't. ...and he lost, by hanging himself with his own rope, meant for me. So by an large, Bulbasaur is a troll, who couldn't keep up with the conversation, and decided to use his baser instincts to swamp the discussion with his trolling antics. Trolls like that drown out the core issue with any given topic, and the point gets lost. If I didn't report him, and took his bait, and cuss him out....then I would've been the one in 'warned status....that's how the game is played here. I would've ran circles around this guy, and actually hurt his feeling through the computer screen, and gFAQs mod would've dealt with me, silencing me and my speech about China's influence on the gaming community, and basic freedoms in broader strokes.....and from 'experience', it's not outside the realm of possibility, that this troll is a 'cooler' of sorts. Better to use a troll to discredit the legit hot topic claim, than to use a moderator to deal with it, and expose themselves as censors. He wanted to suppress my speech, because ..."I'm right"...and he was too inept to compete. He had 'no speech' to suppress to begin with. So there is no double-standard here. If he had a claim, even one I didn't like, and abused the report function.....yes, that's suppressing his speech. But that's not what happened. |

The topic as I explained above was about FFXIV, and the relation of a real world issue, which isn't breaking the rules at all. Since it's a issue that does impact how one can play that game. A question that can be applied to any game. Will Cyberpunk 2077 bend the knee to China? Should I invest into that game if I get punished for saying the wrong thing? Will Outer Worlds bend the knee? Will Steam? Will Epic Games? GOG? Reddit? /v/? gFAQs? "They" just don't like the topic at all. You can act and talk as innocently normal as you can, next thing you know your digital identity is getting summarily shot in the head behind the chemical shed, and dumped in a pit....and you'll never know why?. |

Raze_Razel 10/15/19 2:47:09 PM #31 | Alpha218 posted... Also idk why were instantly being accused of having a love affair with China Because I want a rational explanation, and "you don't have to" because you cower behind your TOU. So let's start from the beginning.... HOT TOPIC OF THE ENTIRE WEEK...."Major UNITED STATES videogame publisher shuts down free speech, showing support for China's policies; partly due because of large profit margins at potential risk." Now here I go, posting on the FFXIV board saying pretty much the same thing here: Does shit-talking about China get you banned from this game too? Since thats Blizzards policy, but since SQEX is of Eastern shores has there been any mass bannings in FFXIV for speaking against China? Seems like a legitimate question, no malice or "trolling" intent behind it. I mean this whole debacle with Activision, is asking all sorts of questions toward the industry as a whole, and anyone involved like third party videogame forums like gFAQs. What does that say for the gamers here? Or online in their respective game right now? These are questions I want to know. I'm Canadian, I love Final Fantasy XIV, and I love freedom too. So I like to know what people's opinion are on the matter if I continue to further invest my time in that game, before I say the wrong thing and get my account cancelled losing all my progress and the money I put into it. Now IIRC, that topic I made went on for two whole pages, with some insightful comments that prove it was a serious topic, and it was take seriously enough to keep the discussion going, ...and you shut it down, and called it "trolling"..... HOW!?....or right, you don't have to explain yourself. I mean, I'd would've expected the moderator to at least say, "You were reported many times for trolling, so the system automatically deleted your post."....at least I'd know that the readers here are the real trolls who abuse the report function, and it's just the pro-China faction pulling their Black-hat SEO shite. And you'd be blameless, except for the part as to why you didn't reinstate my post and thread after the fact, and you never explained anything at all......so that leaves the one inevitable solution.... ....you're pro-China.....or worse, you're China's whore as well, where you 'love freedom', but love their money more; probably worried about the trickle effect, imo. So here we are, having a mini-version of Activision's drama over the same thing. And the evidence is against you now. >deletes rational topic about China, relating real world issue to the game itself. >no explanation, except explaining the rules on why they don't have to give an explanation >"relax" >"I am with the Hong Kong protestors all the way" ....so prove it....put the thread back on the FFXIV board. |

Topic | I am starting to hate modern gaming. |
Raze_Razel 09/20/19 1:33:10 PM #25 | TC your best bet would be to stick with indy and retro/remastered games. The Witness, Frostpunk, This War of Mine, Skyrim, Bastion, Shadowrun, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. AAA games are evil, and unfortunately when speaking about 'modern gaming' it's the Call of Duty and Battlefields that people think of first which perverts the whole MTX, and for some dumb-ass reason they are on the fore-front on what gaming is. Nintendo is a good alternative, because of the Big 3, they aren't slaves to the MTX market, instead they lean on tired but true exclusive titles and gimmicks like cardboard peripherials and the Switch....only problem is, you're spending $500 that one (or two) titles Nintendo is good at delivering on. |

Well, the deeper meaning with Soylent Green is that with over-population, food resources will dwindle to the point real food wouldn't be real anymore, that we have to rely on processed chemicals to stay alive, and they'd probably have to disguise it with clever marketing like "Plant Based Meats". It's kind of scary that plant-based food is suddenly a fad in the fast food industry, as if saying natural foods are running dry, so go with the alternative. And when the resources for that alternative diminish where do we go next? ......busting out those dump trucks? |
Topic | FF VII remake sewer boss battle (after Don Corneo) with Ifrit Summon |
Raze_Razel 09/17/19 4:36:29 PM #77 | SethJustSeth posted... Anyone else think it's cool that you actually get a summon THAT early in the remake? I'm pretty sure the first summon in original FF7 is Choco-Mog, which you get after leaving Midgar. Considering how standard Bahamut is still fucking sick to watch even today, I absolutely cannot wait to see how they do him up in the remake. Wondering about this too.....I suppose SQEX probably though it'll be unfair for players to have to wait for Epi.2 (after they final leave Midgar) to get their first summon. I'm stoked to see what 'Knights of the Round' is going to be like.... |
