I was banned from GameSpot about three months ago because of them twelve-year-old douchebags who can't fucking defend their system properly, so I called one of them retarded because it sure seemed like it, and then they smashed me with the banhammer. GiantBomb.com is by far, the most open-ended gaming site and not a dictatorship the way I see it and the community's good too.

The irony is this is going to get locked.

But that seems like a good reason to be banned....

And as for my answer, no

They said a lot worse stuff, they weren't banned because no one reported them so they're still out there unfortunately.

Yea I got banned for simply asking about the COD4 beta. That's it. I asked "how can I get in?" and yea, banned. So then I just moved on. Most kids on their forums just bash everyone. They can't be "gamers" they have to separate themselves into fanboy groups haha.

I got banned for making a separate account at 3 in the morning and posting a false troll post in which I asked what a Nintendo was, and then indicated it was a company that made baby powder. Sure, I broke the rules, but it was 3 in the morning and I apologized and everything. I got suspended alot, though, for calling trolls and fanboys retarded.

Yeah, okay.


Anyway, no, and I will never get banned because anyone with common sense knows to leave the mods alone and don't get in their hair and they are fine.

unless you are actually trying to, it's pretty hard to get banned from gamespot and if you somehow manage it then you were never right for those forums anyway.

:o I didn't know you were banned! And I saw you say that, I didn't think it was bad at all. I like Gamespot but it's weird how intelligent users get banned :/ I think the mods need to calm down a bit...

I was banned because I accumulated to many moderation violations over the course of two years. Thanks for wasting two years of mine GS. Great way to treat your community.

it's actually really easy to get banned from there.

"right for those forums"? wow

The mods on GS are just ban happy and might as well be purists. if they don't like you or what you say, banned. they're power hungry and fear mongers .

I once had a union there called "the pics of hot chics" union, we were very clear on the "no nudity" part. we just posted pics of attractive women. the union mods were very active and did there job well.

yet one day BAM! the union was destroyed and i was banned. we had permission to make the union, and there was no nudity like the mods told us. first the union was gone and then so was i, they're efficient when purifying they're forum. i tried to find out why they did it, but got no answer from the mods.

Never got banned, but I was drove away by the amount of silly moderations I had received. The mods are terrible over there.

I do use the site for news occasionally though.
