Seeing a lot of Banned users, is that normal?

My account seems to have been deleted. When I swung by here just now I found that I was logged-off, and the site didn't recognize my log-in credentials. I was able to re-log in with the same username, and my previous posts list me as "Guest". Err...what?
...Huh. Is it the same account? Or did you... Make a new one?
 
i tried looking up your name in the registered members section. it's showing you as a new member. i thought that there might have been a duplicate account, but nothing.
Not a clue. But here's one of my previous posts:

Even my avatar was straight-up deleted. My previous account seems to no longer exist.
 
"outdated philosophies" What´s the in-date one DEI worship and brainwash the rest of internet seam to have ?

But honestly I always say don´t be an A-hole and keep your hate speech and DEI trash to your self and use common sense and you will never have problems.
 
Oh crap, all those philosophers drunk Clippy mentioned in the mental health thread are going to get me in hot water.

GODDAMN YOU DRUNK CLIPPY, YOU'RE ALWAYS LIKE THIS
There's no rule that says you kant! Nothing wrong with fitting into a specialized nietzche instead of giving general advice. You're not the sartre person to get banned. I'm pretty sure...well, I think I am at least.

I had to read it 3 times to understand the joke... I'm tired, I should go to bed...
 
At the risk of starting another massive flame war... (I'm posting this because I want an answer that can be referred back to, not to troll.)
Others somehow think that it is ok to spew hate speech or incredibly outdated philosophies on this platform, an action for which we have zero tolerance.
Since you haven't defined what this means, I can only expect you'll be granting a certain deal of leniency to members that can be presumed to be posting in good faith, right? Because if you mods are just going to swing your weight around and immediately sack people for vague, unclear reasons ranging from legitimate harassment to using the W- or DEI- words when describing a modern video game, you might as well just permaban me now – I don't want to waste my time in that environment.

Keep in mind that I'll be linking back to any answer you give here in the future, so think long and hard before you hit "Post Reply". I'm personally of the opinion that intentionally low-quality posts are far more of a problem than "incredibly outdated philosophies" (i.e. posting something that you disagree with on an ideological level after you've seen a news headline that made you upset). And if you think I'm going to suck up to anyone, even mods I like, to prevent my own account from being banned – honey, you've got a big storm coming.

There's just something about this juvenile hobby that brings out the worst in people or... people don't follow the rules.
well im a sigma and sigmas dont abide by the norms
i break all the rules
i speed (10-20 miles over cuz i live in america and its literally safer to speed)
drive fast cars (my grandma's old hyundai santa fe till i can make enough money and buy a nissan 240 gaysex or 1998 civic type or 2003 civic ex)
and have a lot of SEX (go to therapy weekly to help with my once crippling sex addiction)
 
I remember one guy about a month ago, started off fine but then went on to post rants about Jews and Black people. Y'know, typical BS.
They must've been banned before I ever saw what they said.

@Gorse So people can't say the word woke on here and can't say that DEI absolutely doesn't belong in video games, which I'd say it honestly doesn't.
 
These forums have some of the easiest rules to follow (basically boiling down to "don't be an arse"), yet some people can't even follow them. Others somehow think that it is ok to spew hate speech or incredibly outdated philosophies on this platform, an action for which we have zero tolerance.
I personally probably have quite outdated beliefs compared to yours, I'm guessing. Why don't we just keep both of our beliefs off of the retro video game site?

Just my opinion here, but I have never seen any of the mods here throwing their weight around. I see it all over the internet in over half the communities across several platforms, but so far I haven't had any problems; which is saying a lot considering I like to voice my opinion openly and some people find that intimidating. Nevertheless; it seems like the mods here are actually really decent. 👌

Neither have I... yet... but let's just nip this in the bud ASAP so that there aren't any misunderstandings. I'm someone who's put a lot of effing time and effort into this forum, and if it's going to become impossible to post legitimate opinions that the mod team doesn't agree with, I'm honestly just not going to bother.

There are enough hyper-left-wing (HEAR THAT, MODS? I SAID HYPER-LEFT-WING!) video gaming-related echo chambers on the internet, and essentially all of them are miserable, pathetic failures filled with angry, embittered 30+-year-olds, shitposts, and repeated catchphrases. (For example: r/gaming, NeoGAF, ResetEra, Something Awful, BlueSky...) Let's not make RGT another one, and I say that as someone's who been posting here regularly for longer than most mods have had accounts.

I don't know why you think that.

I have banned three people since I became a mod here... you know why? They all posted racist and xenophobic stuff (one, ever the bold one, as his "introduction"). That's the kind of stuff I don't agree with and will fight against.

I come here to write and talk about videogames, and if someone is going to sour that experience by being that unpleasant, then we are having trouble. If you wanna know my full stance, just check the site rules... that's what I was asked to enforce, not my own views.
