Yeh I've messaged EviLore about a few things over the years and he's always responded.

I send EviLore EviLore messages everyday and each well thought out communication feels like throwing a message in a bottle into the vast ocean of cyberspace which causes my soul to die a little bit with each passing moment waiting for a response, any response...cannot the kingdom of salvation set me free?
 
No, I don't know what I would say anyways.

I've already hit my max spiciness at times here (which, while tame compared to many others, still got me banned from other boards) without so much as a warning so I don't have any complaints.
 
it's futile, reminds me of this scene where George tries to complain but just gets snubbed.

all i want is my 75 cents back, an apology and for him to be fired.

I should have added "Yes, I got a warning for it" and "Yes, I got banned for it" in the poll.

Try one of these. It worked before.

I think some people take for granted that you can actually contact the site owner directly, lol

Where else can you do that?

Nope, I remember getting a bullshit warning from a mod many years ago (before the split I think?), but I just figured I'll keep the angry reaction to myself. ;) I normally don't send PM's to other people and just reply to their posts if necessary. I will say that I'm happy when I see EviLore or some other staff member actually posting something and sharing their opinions, not just moderating the site.
 
I message them hourly, as part of my NeoGaf Platinum+ membership level

We chat, laugh, catch up talk about old times, suggested latest bans and everything like that, its so wonderful
 
One day i'll DM a staff member - but only when im ready to commit glorious account suicide. Just gotta come up with an amazing insult first. Might take a few years, but greatness takes time. Not going to make a thread to do it though because im not like those other attention-seeking retards.

I've been building up the courage to ask for nudes from a certain red-lettered Radiohead fan who will remain completely anonymous but... just the thought is giving me the vapors.

I've noticed in me and others also on other sites how there can be an automatic and incredible defensive reaction when you get a warning, your post deleted or even a temp ban. It can be like a huge wave that flushes over you and you need to make a big deal and defend yourself. But it's better to let the moment pass and contemplate when you've gained some distance and your feelings have calmed down.

This helps you see more broadly on the situation and perhaps that yes, you did take it a bit too far even if you didn't mean to. Or you see that actually there was an overreaction from a moderator and you can calmly discuss it, or even just accept that maybe the site wants to have a certain vibe to it and so your style of commenting needs to be adjusted to it.

It's better to just keep the initial angry reaction to oneself as you might not feel the same way after a good night's sleep, it also keeps you from doing a stupid thread that leads to a ban. And yeah, Neogaf is cool in how both the siteowner and mods are active and easy to communicate with. :)

I have yes, I got some meaningful conversation back and it was immensely helpful. I was drifting too far in to the off topic stuff and I was in a bad place personally due to some really bad family circumstances.

This place is mostly reasonable, I have found. very reasonable in fact compared to other places on the internet.
 
No. Wouldn't even know why. They are active in threads, anyway, so they would read whatever it is I could DM them for.
 
I sent a message to evilore once saying like thanks for running the forum etc. (I was drunk at the time and it was cringe) but he never bothered replying which made me pretty pissed and disappointed.. but then I saw him at a grocery store in Los Angeles. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn't want to be a douche and bother him and chase up my message or anything. He said, "Oh, like you're doing now?" I was taken aback, and all I could say was "Huh?" but he kept cutting me off and going "huh? huh? huh?" and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen GamePass cards in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like "Sir, you need to pay for those first." At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the cards and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually "to prevent any electrical infetterence," and then turned around and winked at me. I don't even think that's a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

Anyway I think the girl was Sweet Tooth and they got banned shortly after.
