There is no "would of", "should of" or "could of".

Yeah we definitely believe it stopped there and that's why you got modded

Probably any context that doesnt leave out you adding the likely moronic hot take before/after that link

As someone who regularly doesn't get modded for shitposts maybe you need to learn to shitpost better?

Nothing specific then.

I specifically said that this profiteering was bad and mentioned how I previously got warned for predicting what is now being reported in Forbes and other reputable sources.

Being serious for a moment; if someone dies it's best to just give a dignified RIP and share any good memories you have of them.

Anything bad can be taken as offensive or trolling or both. Especially if it's used as a "fuck you, I was right" moment.

at no point was there a fuck you involved. I said profiteering off a death is bad. People didn't get warned for their paranoid rants about how Anita sarkeesian was enriching herself by tweeting to 100 people, I note.

Just don't talk about incredibly sensitive things at a really bad time. Is it so hard to just show a little human decency? I've been tryna tell people timing is everything but everyone wants to act like whatever they want to share is okay and everyone should just deal with it.

She didn't die in a tragic accident either.

I'm not saying the moderation was correct or just I really have no idea, I'm just explaining why it probably happened and the best way to avoid it in the future.

That's my point. I didn't say the dead person was profiteering, I said third parties would look to do so. So saying she is doing so is literally no different

It makes people feel bad, and with moderator discretion that's enough.

Can you contest suspensions? In any case they've already ignored two polite, elaborate responses as to why saying what I did was in no way controversial so clearly I am being targeted for something. Why would ab appeal be successful now?

It is. I am a big sneaker enthusiast and the impact of this event on the resell market is interesting. Obviously sites like Forbes do too. I fail to see the issue not what the 'full story' is meant to be

Forbes "articles" get posted on the Xbox board all the time and they arent taken down. I'm going to guess the suspension came from something you said after you posted the link.

The mods' characters are extremely suspect. Extremely. At this point they all seem like dodgy dudes
I note that a known racebait troll account had a suspension reversed within half an hour earlier in the week after making a topic that could be read as calling a particular deceased person a huge piece of shit. Very suspect

This. Almost all of its content is reader-submitted opinion pieces.

It's not as reputable as it used to be. It's not much different than Blogspot from back in the day.
