the one word response rule has always bugged me. there's no rule against italics or bold font, though.
the main category where it could be left up to interpretation would be trolling. in the system wars forum it can be tough sometimes to distinguish since limited forms of trolling are allowed there.

"and who's fault is it that they can't follow the rules?"You really are hung up on being a mod arent you? You shouldnt care so much on validating you actions on a different forum. Do you honestly think the mods on GS got there Rep for no reason? How many GS users are on on this site because they are fed up with GS? There are countless high level posters that agree the modding is out of hand. What everyone is wrong? Why do you defend it so much? You dont even get paid. I think you just like the "Power".

"the one word response rule has always bugged me. there's no rule against italics or bold font, though.I have for bold for being disruptive, as far as trolling I think when in doubt or border line just allow it, I know the stance will vary from person to person but that's just my belief

power...i guess if you're not a mod then you don't really know what it's like. it's not that empowering, dude. the novelty of being able to lock threads, ban people, or whatever wears off pretty quickly.
anyway, it's not the mod's faults. we don't come up with the rules. when i see the way people speak about the mods and how they act, yes, much of the time i do think that it's 100% their fault.
I've been a mod, and still am a mod, in multiple senses of the word. You do choose how to enforce the rules, and it's in your choice that most of the potential for backlash lies. Is the person a frequent spammer? Should I let them off this time for making a mistake, or violating a rule that may have slipped their minds? Do I act as though everybody sleeps with fluorescent bulbs depicting the ToS over their heads, as I do? You're not a robot, and nobody expects you to be.

Given that you're the only Gamespot mod that I know of posting right now, and your presence as a user (whether to participate, or what) is generally undefined, it's inevitable. Many people are here to avoid the presence of GameSpot and their mods (whatever your opinion of them is). Your posts, especially in response to people complaining about GameSpot, are going to do nothing to alleviate any possibly false charges against you. They see them as obnoxious at the least, invasive at the most.
"and you know i get blamed for shit i don't even do, right?"He really does I get 3-4 hate mails a day
"The real Casey, don't listen to these guys. They're just pissed that they broke the ToU on GS and got modded for it. You as a mod enforce the rules, and have to deal with alot of shit everyday. I'm not saying my moderation history is squeeky clean, but at least I can man up and say what I did was wrong."Like I said, I've never been subject to any moderator alteration on any of my posts. Mainly because I lurk, and don't make any posts. This isn't the suck-up thread though. You can take your doggie-biscuit and go home. It's pathetic >.<

But seriously, just because I'm not attacking someone who has done nothing wrong, how would I be sucking up?

"microwavedapple said:Thats what I was going to say, get off his nuts. For the most part you dont even know what you are talking about. Go "man up" on GS no one gives a fuck here. On GS what I just said would have been perma banned. Thats what makes this place so much better. I dont have to talk like there are kids in the room."The real Casey, don't listen to these guys.
