They literally have no consistent definition for what is "trolling." I mean they have it defined on their site but that has nothing to do with the way they enforce it. It has basically become their version of the term "witch!"

It's hilariously ironic how the biggest trolls on this site are the moderators who accuse everyone of trolling.

No joke I can't make political satire without it getting called trolling by a moderator anymore... I can't even say that I think a game sucks without getting slapped with trolling... the mods are out of control.

yeah the new mods are so awful

I know a guy ever since the new modship came to power who's been on Purg for most of the past year but before that this was a ten year old account he never touched purg so either that user changed of the new mods are just bullying him now.

I wish allen would do something.

Their minds are twisted beyond repair, probably the one thing that I can rest easy on when it comes to their power tripping. It's a good thing to know that their toxic online behavior has had real side effects on their brain.

The moderators are complete bullies, and as far as I can tell Allen is a big fan of bullying users as well.

Someone needs to do something about this culture of bullies they let develop on the moderator end of this site.

The fact that you can't seem to stop breaking the rules does not reflect negatively upon anybody but yourself. The issue that needs to be corrected lies with you.

The ToS is fine.

How unevenly it's enforced and the inconsistencies of it's enforcement are the problem.

No I literally had my alt put on purgatory because I literally said "this game was shit" in reply to a LA Noire topic.

Somehow that was "trolling" worthy of a week suspension.

Moral of the story: Don't troll unless you have karma that you can easily afford to lose.

Better yet; it's just an account. Cut your ties to your first gamefaqs account and you'll forever be free.

Edit: Does Gamefaqs still IP axe? That's the only time it's a royal pain to be a dedicated gamefaqs user. Gotta change internet plans and get a new IP address and forever never log into your old account or you'll be flagged and Axed again.

The problem is clearly the complete lack of any accountability for the moderators and the culture where all the mods and lead mods side with moderator abuse and never the users. It has allowed this toxic culture to develop with the moderators where they can just do whatever they want without ever having to worry about if they are doing the right thing or not, which has turned them all into bullies.

The problem with this is how the moderators can literally twist anything around and call it "trolling" as they please. There is zero consistency in the way they enforce it.

No. Original gamefaqs shit poster here from 2001. I helped write the book on trolling gamefaqs.

Any time I got moderated, I knew I was going to be moderated before I posted it and wanted to see if I could get away with it anyways.

If I didn't, I would thank that "inconsistancy" you claim as the reason to why I didn't get modded.

Grow thicker skin or git gud at trolling.

A copy and paste of the moderation:

This is great for all 10 people who actually want that piece of crap

MODERATION INFORMATION
Deleted: 11/14/2017 2:42:24 AM
Action: 7-Day Suspension - This message was deleted from the boards, there was a 15 karma point penalty, and the user's account was suspended for 7 days.
Reason: Trolling
Status: N/A - No user-initiated action has been taken on this moderation.
MODERATION REASON - TROLLING
Trolling
Trolling is not someone posting an opinion that differs from yours, but someone posting a message designed to get others mad enough to violate one of the other rules. Going on a board and posting "This game sucks and everybody who enjoys it is stupid" is trolling, and nothing good will come of it. Going on a board and posting "I hated this game, the controls were awful," isn't trolling, although it may not be popular opinion. Even if you disagree, you can either debate the user on their points or just ignore it.

DISPUTE NOT ALLOWED

The problem is how they bend and twist the rules around whatever they like when it comes to "trolling"

It is enforced like a witch hunt.

Claiming a game is bad without context is trolling. It's like the clearest definition of a TOS violation we have.

If you'd given a reason for why you thought it sucks, that'd be a different story, but just going into a topic where it's being discussed to bash it is blatantly trying to start a flame war moltres.

That is completely dishonest and seems to be at odds with literally over half the content on this site. Discontent is not the same thing as intentionally trying to piss people off, and if you think people expressing discontent is people trying to piss you off, you have serious mental issues.

I'd like to note that over my many, MANY, moderations, I've only ever gotten 2 overturned.

You are better off in the long run just accepting a moderation and moving on.

Crying and making topics about mod bullies only makes you look like a whining bitch.

I have never once had a moderation overturned no matter how outrageously in the wrong the moderator was.

They basically just act like complete and total bullies.

There isn't any bending or twisting of the rules here, it out and out says what you did was trolling as an example of what trolling is honedge

Not at all... the only way you can do that is by seriously twisting my words around what you would like to punish me with.

That is twisted and fucked up and makes you out to be a bully.
