So I visited gamefaqs....

Calling someone stupid is flaming, and calling a game stupid is trolling. If you call a character stupid and the character had a lot of fanboys, then you could get modded for that too I guess. The thing about GameFAQs is that you could post an innocent post, but if enough users mark it, then it gets modded automatically regardless of whether an actual moderator sees the post or not.

Oh, and don't ever mention ROMs or anything to do with piracy. And never imply that you have a game before its release date (this includes asking for help, and even if you really do have an early retail copy of the game).

A good ole fashioned forum invasion?

As a mod I must advise against it... as a human I erm.

Hahaha, which is exactly why I restrained myself. I'm no mod, but some trouble leads to more trouble, it's one less big headache and ranting.

But as for me saying something offensive, nothing I said was offensive at all. It was a character fanatic that took offensive to me simply disagreeing and putting in my opinion. He asked for our opinions so I gave it to him.


I do not tell people what they'd like to hear, so they can just... -looks around- I will bite my tongue.

Why do you think so many people call it "GameFags"?

They expect everything to be candy-coated posting with no discussion or mild debate. I mean yeah, here we can get into shit-throwing storms but if it's a mild topic, we can probably still use "stupid" or "dumb" in the debate and still walk away without having personally wronged the other.

I still look there though for game releases. Well, I used it for the Games of the Month thread dates, at least (well, with Wikipedia and IGN).

Trust me, the last thing I mention is piracy on that site. It was just a bunch of fanboys who didn't agree with the opinion I gave them, yet they asked for everyone's opinion. I suppose next time, they should be quite specific on what they want when it comes to opinion. It was a Dragon Age: Origins board topic and it's one of my favorite games, so I put in my opinion about a certain character I did not like and BOOM, warning.

Luckily for me, on the actual Dragon Age website's forum, I can say what I please and no one takes offense!

Agreed. That's about all I use it for, to look at releases and faqs/answers, other than that, I don't waste my time.
I candy-coat nothing, I won't change that just for some sensitive fanatics.
 
You can troll the gamefaqs boards and get away with it, but it takes a light touch. On the GTA Chinatown Wars board, someone asked where the strip club in that game was (in case you don't know, there isn't one). I replied saying it was at the top of Gullible Hill, and the idiot replies asking where Gullible Hill was. Then he made a new thread asking where Gullible Hill was. It was fun.

Dear me, lol!

Hilarious. Don't they have a FAQ for that game? Did he even bother to check that first? XD

That was when the game first came out, so there was much in the way of FAQs yet. Even if there was, he didn't really seem like the researching type.

Lol, I would love to try that one day, not any time soon though, have to stay out of trouble until I'm in the clear.
 
By any chance was the character you made fun of Sandal?
Because he's a character in the GameFAQs Character Battle, so it's understandable that he has some special "protection" from insults.
Otherwise, it's like I said, too many people mark your post, it's gone no matter how rule-abiding it is.

I noticed a topic on the board that was talking about a character in one of my favorite games so I decided, Hmm, well since I never really say anythnig on the board, I guess I will now.

So I stated my opinion and I used the word stupid.... Not referring to anyone but the character when I tried to build her up and make her stronger...



And I got warned. They deleted my post and I got a warning for using the word stupid.

I believe my expression and thoughts were, "O_O Please tell me these people aren't that sensitive."
gamefaqs admins are fucking shits. i posted my naruto retsuden III save first..the first EVER save with all characters when it first came out.....they decide to accept anotehr dudes who he uploaded 1 month later and never excepted mine...turns out the dude downloaded it from a mirror I UPLOADED AT!!! good for faqs but the admins there are so fucking ridiculous. id love to raid them
 
Kinda like the upload porn day that kid from 4 chan is organizing?

Of course not! I absolutely LOVE Sandal. It was actually, Morrigan.
