Do the mods abuse their power?


I would say yes.

They will mod you if they are personally triggered.
They will go through your posting history to find other "offensive" things, so that they can get your account warned.
They will bend the rules, only enforcing certain rules if they feel like it.

etc.

Inb4 my account drops to warned.

Mods, please warn this troublesome user

Interesting, so they also play favorites and listen to users such as yourself? Good to know.

Most people who complain about the mods are people who deserves the trouble they get.

Gamefaqs ToU isn't always the clearest, but it's hard to get banned here unless you're a throwaway account or you do something super bad.

If you get in trouble on Gamefaqs all the time, you would have been banned on just about any other fourm long ago

What simple rules?

They deem the most ridiculous shit as "offensive" just to silence you.

It's their excuse for just about anything.

"It was offensive, bye!"

Mods actually are pretty biased here. If you have an opinion they disagree with, you can get modded regardless of the TOU. Example: I make a topic being critical of Democratic individuals or a topic of praise for President Trump. Bam, topic gone.

A little bit. In polarizing arguments mods definitely mod one side more heavily than the other, regardless of severity

nah from what I can see people post messages that break the rules, they get modded, then they complain about getting modded and tell everyone they know what they think happened (devoid of context of course)

it's a shame they can't take accountability for their actions :( oh well.

No they don't.

They might warn you for totally stupid reasons like putting maybe a mod in the middle of quotations on a Dan Schneider joke. And they then claiming that meant you called the mods pedophiles, which is a totally illogical argument,

But they don't abuse their power.

Well, unless you count sticking random threads as a joke abuse of power. They been doing that lately.

Don't post things that are offensive. Not hard.

Mods don't target people. Just because you break the same rule repeatedly and get modded for it does not mean you were targeted.

Nah, I have reported that topic multiple times and I also mentioned it multiple times such as I did in this topic. They know I want it taken down.

Yet, the mods continue to enforce rules when they want to. I am only doing this as an example.

Alright, I take it back. You were telling the truth about that post being marked.

But like I was saying, off topic is a more lax rule. If the subject is about someone relevant real life event then mods may ignore it. A beloved athlete dying probably gets a pass for a few days.

That's fine, it was just a minor example.

Not the main reason for this topic, just speaking in general here.

When you start getting modded repeatedly in one day for stuff that was posted three weeks back then you know something is up.

No, you don't.

Yeah you do. And you know what? You dont have to take my word on that. Just go to the unofficial Reddit and start posting in the topics criticizing the mods. Once you get noticed, watch how things change.

But that reddit smells like psychological damage.

That CP bit seems super hard to believe since mods usually hop on that like white on rice.

I can sadly vouch that death threats and terrorism support doesn't get the attention it deserves if it comes from an old enough account. Know this user that's still posting today despite being suspended for their psychotic posting on multiple occasions.

Which is why I always scoff when people complain about the mods being too harsh on this site. The things I've seen that would get you perma'd on most other sites...

That said, I wouldn't say there's a "list"(Not that I could know for sure), but there is account history. If you're a known troublemaker then you get punished more harshly.

The other thing is that it's the users that report, the mods just respond to it(or don't). If you have a lot of enemies or you're just disliked more in general then you probably get mod attention more.

Similar, got modded for arguing Itachi was gay. There's definitely one mod who's weird about sex.

That... might be due to the times. Gay people are more accepted today than they were in 2011. So calling characters gay if it isn't Canon (Which I don't believe it is for those two) could conceivably be considered insulting.

Of course it's a Pokemon ship so people get super super heated over that regardless >_>

(Not a justification.)
