Support NeoGAF

[DenchDeckard]

There is clearly something going on with a moderator on here that has a personal vendetta against me. I posted a comment in the forza vs gt7 thread that stated that forza looked a lot better than gt7 in the video asamsapple posted and within 50 seconds my post was deleted and i was thread banned. I've attempted to contact moderation multiple times to request a conversation and no one responds.

My post was deleted with the comment "you're trying too hard, fanboy". I mean really, what is that? We see horrific comments towards other members, and craziness all day but a comment about forza looking better on one video gets me banned from a thread within seconds.

I know the joke is why post a thread, just message moderation. I have done it multiple times. I have never been banned on this site but seem to be getting an increasing amount of thread bans and warnings.

Anyone got any ideas of how I can work through this with the moderation team, or who else I can contact?

Friday night in the UK, baby! I think there must be a plan to make it happen!

Sounds like a conspiracy theory.

You're not one of those conspiracy nutters are you?

Maybe of the moderator can re instate my comment in the forza vs gt7 thread for everyone to decide if I crossed the line? And un thread ban me.

Message EviLore , I’m sure he’ll listen with open ears.

 

[Gaiff]

How many moderators do we have here anyway? Doesn't seem like we have that many.

Getting thread-banned for posting an opinion sure sounds extreme though.

[cyberheater]

I’m going to say it. I miss Bish.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Solution: Don't say that Forza "looks a lot better than GT7" when it doesn't. Problem solved.

 

[Fess]

Sounds like a good thing to help you stay out of those threads.
It’s weekend, go play Starfield instead yo

I’m going to say it. I miss Bish.

the guy who banned thousands of people without cause?

at least this mod simply deleted his posts. ive had a lot of my posts deleted. i'd rather have that than lose this account and have to go spend time with my wife and kids.

 

[adamsapple]

plot twist: SlimySnake 's soon-to-be-ex-wife is a moderator.

 

[amigastar]

IMO the moderators are one of the worst i've seen. They get really personal, thats not professional.

 

[Cashon]

If it occurred exactly as you said, and if the deleted comment stays deleted, then the mod team should just rename the whole site to something more Sony-Based.

Watch this video from 3 minutes 50 and tell me that foza doesn't look leagues better. That's my opinion. That's all I said.

 

[Buggy Loop]

i'd rather have that then lose this account and have to go spend time with my wife and kids.

Fucking hell, ban SlimySnake already, poor kids.

Crossed the line? You never finished the race!

 

[Topher]

I have never been banned on this site

 

[lh032]

there is no conspiracy here, i got warned and post got removed few weeks ago

 

[kanjobazooie]

TL;DR? I can't read 2 paragraphs.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Bro, they're not even like for like comparisons. completely different time of day, weather, etc. you cant be serious

 

[Winter John]

“We see horrific comments towards other members, and craziness all day”

Where? I never see shit. God knows I’ve tried to provoke them but the worst I ever got was being told to go fuck myself. My wife says that before I get out of bed most days.

 

[Topher]

TL;DR? I can't read 2 paragraphs.

"My post was deleted"

 

[DenchDeckard]

So, I can't say that I don't think it looks leagues better. They are both raining with the same car.

Lay of the mice balls addiction. You'll be able too read better.

And thread banned bbe xxx

saying it looks leagues better seems fanboyish. they look similar. maybe you prefer the look of one vs the other. but "leagues better"? come on man....they're two driving games..... that video is straight up garbage quality too.

have you played GT7 in person? it's a great looking game

 

[March Climber]

You'll be too read better.

 

[kvltus lvlzvs]

live thread time, wew baby!

Also, is this a stealth forza vs gt graphics comparison thread?

 

[RoboFu]

I got a lot of those snarky " Console Warrior " deleted posts during the FF16 release and only for FF16 posts. lol. so stupid and clearly it upset someone.. but hey whatcha gonna do?



FF16 sucks...

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Watch this video from 3 minutes 50 and tell me that foza doesn't look leagues better. That's my opinion. That's all I said.

As someone that has never played Forza and has Gran Turismo7 ...my game doesn't look that washed out, lmao. Something about how they captured that GT7 video feels off to me. Not sure if on purpose or not.

edit: also that thumbnail chosen to represent GT7...what is up with that? it almost looks like cartoonish.

 

[Elder Legend]

Nice misquote noob

 

[The Cockatrice]

Watch this video from 3 minutes 50 and tell me that foza doesn't look leagues better. That's my opinion. That's all I said.

Didnt bother with that debate but I watched the video and as a non-racing gamer/fan, I agree with you. Forza certainly has a more in your face graphics, while GT7 seems to be aiming for cleaner visuals and I haave been banned and warned for shitting on xbox fans. Is it the same engine as Forza Horizon 4? I loved that game and its the only racing game since maybe Split/Second NFS Underground era that I played and liked and that engine is a fucking miracle. It can literally run on potatoes at 4k and still look stunning. Its prolly one of the most optimized good looking engines second to id tech.

Are we live? My gold sub expires soon!

Which mods specifically?

 

[Josemayuste]

Hey, is this one of those threads where we get gold?

 

[SmokedMeat]

there is no conspiracy here, i got warned and post got removed few weeks ago

Only one of your posts got removed?

 

[TommyCronin6969]

I have had a mod delete my messages at times that were insults I was throwing at a game and they used that insult back towards me in the notification that my message was deleted. An eye for an eye.

 

[Roxkis_ii]

Good things don't tend to happen to people who talk about moderation publicly, but I hope op can get an explanation that's satisfactory.

 

[Jayjayhd34]

On rtx4090 maxed out are you crazy forza is better but if gt7 was on pc it would be better I think.

 

[amigastar]

Which mods specifically?

IDK anymore, they've sent me a message some time ago, i try to avoid them honestly. Also i'm not a guy who gets banned usually.

 

[Die Namek Ability]

So, I can't say that I don't think it looks leagues better. They are both raining with the same car.

Saying one looks "leagues" better is hyperbolic at best and fanboy at worst. Take it on the chin and move on

 

[NonPhixion]

Have you tried giving less of a fuck? I hear that increases QoL tremendously.

 

[adamsapple]

Which mods specifically?

You don't see the name of which ones deleted your posts (un)fortunately

 

[Daneel Elijah]

Maybe of the moderator can re instate my comment in the forza vs gt7 thread for everyone to decide if I crossed the line? And un thread ban me.

Sometimes a whole line of comments get put out. It happened to me a few times. If you quote a deleted post your post will be deleted too. There is a thread where we can talk about Neogaf here. I think that if enough people report you it does not help your case at all, even if the post that cause you to be thread ban is not that bad, or that it is just in case because you are causing other people to get crazy too?

We see horrific comments towards other members, and craziness all day but a comment about forza looking better on one video gets me banned from a thread within seconds.

In that case quote the person who say that and just repeat it, but in the other direction. This and put as many IMHO as you can, I hope that it can help.

Anyone got any ideas of how I can work through this with the moderation team, or who else I can contact?

Don't try too much there will be other threads about whatever you want to talk. Maybe have a few MPs with someone that get a lot of posts taken out for the same reasons? I think that adamsapple complained of the same things recently?
