I'm not sure what made The mod or the mods decided to panic over some long-time users having their feelings hurt (AS I RECALL) despite banning users before in politics for reporting on people hurting their feelings with ban messages similar to "Wahh wahh" or "Whine somewhere else" and not just in the politics section. I take it that a couple regular users who got their feelings hurt and talked about "strong words" may have escalated the issue. I don't get why the forum moderation suddenly did a 180 randomly for only 1-day. Then I get a warning for me to accept which was overwritten by a ban within a few minutes, all which is out of character for Neogaf.
All of a sudden at one specific time what we were promised about forum moderation was thrown out the window for no real reason I can find, and then I was given the false charge of prejudiced with no explanation of what the prejudice was initially, yet there's supposed to be transparency. All
If you look at what I was responding, and who I am responding to, and look at the whole post(s), I never gave any implication that being gay itself was a Lifestyle choice if you look at the conversation. My actual argument was many of the activities and so on engaged by gay people are clearly choices, that's not a controversial statement, that's not prejudice, that's fact. Everything else was spin. Everything example I described in that conversation where choices.
If the mod would like to PM me explaining the action I would like that because this all seems completely confusing..
One thing to keep in mind, notice how nobody talked about this particular issue except the user who I was responding, to who was already ignoring most of the posts I was responding with anyway. It wasn't until AFTER some people started taking one specific sentence out of context in a vacuum that all of a sudden the conversation turned into "oh he said this" when I never made the statement as they presented it.
I also would like to point out there are actually many actual prejuduced posts on the political forum, real ones, many of which were complained about by other users, many laughed off by Evilore and other mods for various reasons some of which I mentioned above, but for some weird reason, and I think I have an idea why but I don't want to make assumptions, I was singled out in a thread out of nowhere in a completely out of character ban for this forum, on a topic were me and other members have never shifted the tone on in many other threads. Did the policy randomly change? What happened?
I also don't understand how after my banning dogpiling was allowed, which it used to not be.
The irony about some of this is some users basically continued where I left off, and some opposed to my position basically proved my point incidentally in one of the two threads in question.
I also don't see a reason to give a warning that already blocks me from doing anything, and then deciding minutes later to change it to a ban instead of letting me accept the warning and then PMing me about what the mod thought the issue was, because that would be transparent, and everything would have been explained.
Now I'm not trying to attack anyone here, nor am I calling out any members or mods, just pointing out some flaws I believe I'm seeing and only posting some concerns. Anyway now that that's out the way I'll be moving on from this ban after this post.
