Basically, because "trolling" is so loosely and poorly defined, they use it as a one size fits all ad-hominem attack on anyone for any reason they see fit.

its called "moderator discretion" but a more realistic term is "moderator bias"

Is this going to be one of those times when you pretend not to have a plan until the last moment? And then turn out to really not have one?

It sounds like the majority of users on this site have to deal with this shit on a consistent basis, yet nobody does anything about it.

It feels like playing a really bad video game... like if this was a video game that game would be ET for the Atari.

only trolls have to worry about the mods, and the majority of trolls know when they're going to get modded and accept it

it's the bad trolls that get all upset and butthurt

To be fair, it's only the trolls that can't tell they are trolling.

In my however long on these boards I've had 3 moderations and lost 0 karma. Ever. I don't know how so many people manage to have an issue not being shit posters.

Take ur moderations like a man!

Anytime I get modded it's usually "offensive" for a humorous picture or post so I knew it was possible, but I don't sit there and bitch and moan they don't let me do whatever I want.

Discussion is better when people are allowed to disagree with the consensus without being censored for it. Yes it is the choice of GameFAQs as a private company to allow moderation. But it is a relic of an overly protective Internet past. There are a lot of people who I regard as shitheads on here, who are so disagreeable that it blows my mind. But it is a greater evil to silence and censor them. ESPECIALLY when I can simply ignore them.

You can disagree with the consensus without being modded. You just have to not be an asshole.

So you're censoring people on the basis of who they are and not what they say? That's even worse.

Hence why I have over 170 people ignored right now.

If someone is disruptive and/or has nothing of value to say, I just ignore them. They can still post all they like, but I don't have to listen to it anymore. It's a win win.
