A totally irrelevant statement in response to criticism of the mods banning people for next to no reason. Real talk, if you're trolling you're doing a great job. You are very subtle.

I'm not going to lie and say that they weren't left-leaning, but you'd have to make a topic like "Trump WON! Hell yeah suck it SJWs!" or other crap like that to get actually banned for your political stance. If you articulate yourself then you don't get banned. Everyone around here is saying "I got banned for no reason." But in all my time playing video games and on other message boards that is usually NEVER the case and in fact the person 99% of the time acted like a dick and got banned. Hell, I got permanently junior'd on NeoGAF. Yeah, I did. And honestly it was kinda worth it and pretty much justified. I posted a joke topic about how Nintendo wouldn't be producing any more Nintendo Switches (with a fake link to forbes.com) because of how delighted they were at how well it was selling out and how they were shutting down production because it was a wild success. This was a joke because they're always hardware constrained on everything they make (like it's deliberate). And I got a 2 week suspension and permanent junior. So yeah, they are heavy-handed. But it was fair from what I saw. And the reward for all that was that you NEVER saw garbage troll topics. They didn't exist at all. Shitposts, memes, none of that. There were community threads for particular games, off-topic stuff, and so on, and the main gaming forum was information and discussions only. Half the time GameFAQs and Reddit get their news FROM NeoGAF because posters there are actually in the know and would post things first.

there are plenty of private tracker sites that find ways to cull their userbase without that restriction might be lower effort that way, but doesn't seem any less silly to me
And in an infinite regress, tell me, why is the pain of birth lighter borne than the pain of death?

Maybe moderators were heavy-handed years ago, but I've never seen it.
Stop lying. Funny how you ignore several posts where people call bs on their moderation usage. You don't even have to go far back into the topic to see the example Zero and I made. Hell, just do a basic google search to see dozens more. Often times it isn't even a "gray" area, it's flat out the white area that doesn't call for banning, but they do it anyway because you're against their echochamber mentality.

Junior accounts are either people that: A) Fucked up and got privileges revoked. or B) Signed up to the site but never posted very much. So yeah, maybe if they want to reduce user count (not sure why, but let's assume), they'd be some of the first to go.

Of course not. You've made it pretty clear that you think anyone right of Lenin doesn't deserve a voice.
People like yourself are exactly why NeoGAF had the reputation that it did.
Thanks for coming here and posting this though, it's good for the users who don't know much about NeoGAF to see the kind of obnoxious, over-opinionated left-wing trash that posted there. Helps them realize why you're a plague that should be kept at bay.
All I've stated is that women and minorities should be treated respectfully and that opening those "topics" for "debate" is pointless drivel that doesn't belong on a message board. And you IMMEDIATELY start calling me left-wing trash?
Tell me then. SHOULD those topics be up for debate?
I would wager your definition is closer to the progressive stack and postmodernism. respect women and minorities is typically code for postmodernism worldview, specially when you air quote topics and debate, specifically from progressive ideology. Minorities or women are a means to an end with most people of this mindset, and that end is forcing people to change and/or adapt to the culture of their brand of ideology, through force or coercion. Also, those topics WERE up for debate(or atleast they let it appear so) quite regularly there, baiting non progressives so they could get banned; where postmodernists were always giving their opinion(and being given excessive leeway to spout their views) and trashing anyone who thought otherwise(minorities, women, or anyone else). The moment you gave a viewpoint that was even remotely against the progressive stack or postmodernism you were banned, unless you dressed it up enough where the mods couldnt tell that was what you were doing. To deny their motivation with their moderation policies is delusional.

You're seriously going to dodge the point being made like that? It has nothing to do with the "gray area" you mentioned. The fact of the matter is that you can be banned for utter bullshit. You made this topic mocking ppl who dislike GAF, then when several people post legitimate reasons to dislike it you make excuses or dodge the points entirely. Their prerogative can be whatever the fuck they want it to be, doesn't make any of their actions shitty, hence why people dislike them. And thus your attempt to mock ppl with this topic falls flat on its ass. Which was my point with that post, not sure how you're so daft that you couldn't comprehend that. Especially given their head sexually assaulted a woman ironically enough.

Tbh I think plenty of users here got their gaming news topics from NeoGAF. I know I did. If you caught it within a few hours it was pretty likely it wasn't posted here yet.

So happy NeoCUCK is dead. It's only relevance in the last few years was whenever the resident gender studies majors got triggered by some innocuous bullshit.

I suppose so. I guess I haven't heard of many people banned on GameFAQs for literally no reason. Meanwhile, in this topic alone, it sounds like the mods at NeoGAF had many silly reasons that they'd ban users for. Sounds like I would have been banned since I tend to lurk most of the time and they like to "cull the herd" when users don't post enough. I'd still argue that those bans weren't fair even with the agreement in place. If I were banned for this post, I would argue that I was unfairly banned even though GameFAQs mods/admins may have the right to make that decision based on the agreement I made when I initially made this account.

That's because we have rules that we follow when moderating, and the mods on staff don't abuse their power. We don't ban people for no reason. But I agree that bans for a post like yours would be unfair. But your criticism of their mods would have gotten you banned there.

I guess we can add "clearly incapable of putting things in context" to the list Just face it, your gamefaqs knockoff site that you only trolled on for a little while is gone now and no stupidity will bring it back. Although one wonders if you are trying to sympathize with the site staff here. The amount of fail in your defense here would suggest as much.

There's nothing to discuss. Unless you think "Jews are bad" is a topic worth discussing? Edit: And that is not hyperbole. JonTron really thinks shit like that and has several tweets about that stuff.

I'm curious to see what Boogie actually posted because, according to him, he was banned because he didn't condemn gamers during GamerGate. Not sure how "Defending him" justifies the ban but I get that NeoGAF is the kind of place that merely saying the name JonTron would probably result in a ban.

Also, let me remind you that Boogie is about as centrist as one can get. He was just trying to see everything from all sides. But, you know, NeoGAF wouldn't know anything about unbiased opinions.
We're talking about some pretty fucked up bigoted shit. The fact that someone would want to see "both sides" of something like that is actually ridiculous.
Jon was just buying into that steven molyneux shit, dude is pretty sneaky like that he does this whole slow progression into full on crazy.
