It's funny when people are getting banned for console warring while some of the mods are console warriors

I got a warning yesterday but the warning didn't explain why, so I have to guess now. I don't remember attacking anyone.

I like Sony better than MS and I generally don't like MS vision for the console market, I don't think there's anything wrong with this view, it's a completely fair opinion to have, just as it's fair for someone to love Gamepass and cheer and beg for more publishers being acquired (I guess).

To me the mature thing is to be able to handle criticism of the company/game you like more or different opinions or even some jokes without getting into personal attacks. But I think you can get away with attacking people as long as you label that person a fanboy beforehand.

Anyway, maybe I just got the wrong impression.

This thread has a lot of truth in it. Made a general statement, people liked the post and then it gets deleted by some triggered mod because I don't dick ride Sony or any of these fucking companies. It's like the site is ran and sponsored by Sony, so if you call them out on bullshit, the Sony warrior mod police come out in full force. Do better, GAF Mods.

With that, have a nice day folks!

Look folks, the mods are not some 'YeeHawwwwwing' stereotypes. We all have really sad lives that we love to get back to - mainly brushing our hair. While the last of it still lingers. You both have one warning each, one is complaining about Microsoft and one is complaining about Sony. A perfect juxtaposition of the 'bias complaints'. And your warnings are not for any of the opinions you may hold about the topic in fact, but how you address other users or attempt to generalise all console owners/users into groups you then hurl attacks at.

there's something to this tho.

I once got a warning for literally saying "Horizon Zero Dawn was mediocre, let's hope the sequel is better". and yes it was not any worse than that

but on the other hand I royally shit on Halo Infinite with every opportunity I get, and never got a warning for that at any point

so I understand why some might get the impression if biased mods when stuff like that happens

I didn't say it was all Xbox fans, I think it's pretty easy to understand that I was talking about people engaged in the behavior I described and anyone is able to see there are plenty of them around.

I would've never guessed that was the comment that got me in trouble. Anyway, if it that warrants a warning fine, I'll try not to generalize in the future.

I think too just shows the amount of reports you generated from team Blue vs team Green plus no system is perfect

Heck I got a posted taken down and got a wahh wahh wahh response from the mod team when I hinted Halo Infinite MP might make its way to PS5 when I knew for a fact those talks had happened and it wasn't the first time the two camps tried to make it happen on previous Halos

It is what it is

There are no warnings on your account for that? You have five in total (all expired). I think users have access to view their own warnings which you can view here: https://www.neogaf.com/members/01011001.747947/

Oh come on. You said a hell of a lot more than "Horizon Zero Dawn was mediocre, let's hope the sequel is better". You trashed the game in multiple posts.

can warnings be removed after being issued? I clearly remember posting almost verbatim "Horizon Zero Dawn was mediocre let's hope the sequel is better" and a few hours later I had a warning in my alerts warning me about console warring. and I hadn't posted anything else that day I think.

Just my 2 cents, and speaking in general terms, but I think there's nothing wrong with trashing a game multiple times, so long as the dude trashing it provides the reasons why he/she thinks it's trash, instead of just doing so out of spite.

If someone actually plays the game then I have no problem with honest opinions whether good or bad. I misunderstood the post, but factually 01011001 01011001 had plenty of negative things to say about HFW just as he did with Halo Infinite. I've seen nothing to indicate that mods were involved in either case. I agree with you. That is as it should be.

As far as 01011001 01011001 's complaint about being warned for his comment on HZD....no idea. I've seen plenty of posts saying HZD was mediocre. Somehow I think there is more to it than that.

I can assure you all I said, almost literally was that Zero Dawn was mediocre and that I hope the sequel eill be better.

and later that day I had that warning, maybe even a thread ban... not sure, I was just kinda flabbergasted at the time.

Edit: I found a post shortly after, where I remarked on what happened

If I want to block someone then that is up to me. I shouldn't be able to force others to not be able to see my posts, if that is what you are suggesting.



No, it works one way.
Oh. I gotcha. Gaf would be rather barren if couldn't see the posts of people who have blocked me. :messenger_grinning_smiling:
 
Trashing a game/console/service/article/review/piece of hardware is always fine and never should be warn/ban worthy in itself imo. Sure it's always best if the said "trashing" be substantiated by reasonable arguments, but even if it's a straight trash it's ok.

Now, trashing PEOPLE who like/dislike said things, either explicitly or implicitly? Those are the stuff that could be weeded out.

Agree, but I think both trashing and praising should come with at least a bit of reasoning.

I don't think anyone should get banned for saying "this game is trash" or "holy shit best game ever" tho, it's just that imo those comments don't add a lot to the conversation.

First of all to any mod reading this, if your mom was fucked by one man only don't delete this thread, even at era they don't delete anything unlike the green trash you have here that delete a lot of posts and threads, covering their tracks or what do you have to hide?

Now to the malignant cunt who gave me a 2 months ban for making a joke post, even though most of my warnings expired and i didn't get any new warnings I got a 2 month ban while you let the green clowns running rampant with little to no consequence, you piece of trash.

And then you tell me it's my last chance? Well you can stick that last chance up your [redacted] ass you wormy cocksucker.

And even though things supposedly started to change lately still the punishments are not fair and everyone is not treated the same way, and some people get a pass and protection, it's funny when people get banned for console warring while some of the mods are console warriors themselves.

And to the green rats who kept running and crying to the mods and reporting my posts, go suck a dildo then stick it up your ass while you suck another dildo while looking at uncle phil's picture that you have in your room, and imagining you sucking his dick as a thank you for giving you 1 year free of gamepass.

Good thing about this ban is I'm over my gaf addiction, so in case you clowns with your tiny little mids didn't understand that this is a perm request I'm telling you this is a perm request, so go ahead cocksuckas and pull the trigger, enjoy you green rats filled neo[redacted
sewers.



Most of your warnings? Lol most means not all lol

Be reasoned in your arguments and try not to be personal. If I call OmegaSupreme OmegaSupreme a big bed pooper with bad opinions I don't mean it, that is just what he is. If I say you should feel bad....you don't have to feel bad. Try to be respectful. After all we all like video games, even if some of you have bad opinions about them.

I got a warning for saying the new Halo season was named after it's 2 remaining steam players. (lone wolves, plural so 2). Although I had to ask that to be clarified because the reason given meant nothing.

The other for pointing out no one was putting it in their top 5 for Game of the Decade (since it came 43rd, accurate) despite just winning GOTY 2021 a month before, suggesting that perhaps the Honeymoon period for GaaS was running out.

Neither are shitting on Halo because its for a console, since I played it on both my Series X and PC, but because it's GaaS title just like the rest, unfinished and to be thrown away once it's deemed unpopular enough by its creators.

They didn't point at a specific user or make fun of a specific console. However it's hard not to feel like I'm going to feel the hammer once Sony's planned thrust into the GaaS sphere starts churning out repurposed once beloved franchises to nickle and dime the consumer base, just because they where once a flagship of exclusivity and therefore off the table for criticism because someone loves to be sold less for more and then asked every time they boot up the game to hand over anouther 10.

I am consistant in my approach, GaaS can go suck it, however that appears to be triggering the console war system, its like "Bro I never said that, are you GaaS lighting me?"

If you are going to make that case then you should probably dig up that post and let everyone judge for themselves. Any notification you received on the post would still be in your notification list. You can take a screenshot of that as well. Up to you.

Honestly, I'd be very sad if we lost the right to make comments like this one.

People should be less insecure, and learn to notice when a comment is written to make a bit of silly fun and when it's actually ill intended.

I agree and that's what the ignore feature does. You don't have to see any communication from those on your ignore list. I get the sense that what bothers you is that they can respond to your posts without you knowing it. If so, I get it, but I think trying to force a two-way ignore is going too far.

Is there anyway to look up why I was banned (and by whom) for a week years ago? I remember it being around atlas shrugged and i remember myself thinking I was being “picked on” but I suspect it’s not as clear as I remember.

It was a long time ago, not sure exactly when.

The honeymoon for Infinite is one of the shortest I’ve seen in the history of games. GAF’s game of the year that just stopped receiving awards after, is bleeding players, no one cares about new seasons, still no co-op… It’s a proper mess. It does feel strange to have that game be game of the year here. One of the most forgotten AAA titles to have come out recently.

It was clearly voted on as goty here because of brand loyalty. Forza was a better game. I voted for Village.

Poster child for how the media likes to carry so much water for Xbox, just because MS is always giving them content and the fans are so vocal.

As a fan of Halo I think it’s more complex than that.

There was recency bias, as the game came out late in the year. Combined with the contrast of a mechanically sound (desync aside) and satisfying gameplay loop against the backdrop of a diabolical Battlefield 2042 and a middling CoD entry. There was also probably the expectation that Infinite would at least be supported as well as the current incarnation of MCC (regular and substantial updates). Instead we’ve got 1 new Arena map guaranteed within the first 12 months.

2021 also wasn’t the strongest of years full stop. Halo, Forza, Returnal, Ratchet, Dread, MH Rise and Psychonauts probably being the top picks but with no stand out GOTY.

But yeah, I think if I recall I voted for it as GOTY (it was in my top 3 I’m fairly certain). If I could vote now it would be behind the other games I listed above.

I agree with Topher Topher that this is a horrible idea. What do you care if people you ignore can see your posts? The tools are already there to handle people you perceive as hostile yourself.

Not gonna lie, it's kinda satisfying when I see a user I ignore come up on the bans list, lol.

I never understood why anyone thought it was a good game. right at launch there were so many issues with it, and it simply never got better

I think this right here is it, just some of us hit that limit alot faster than others before the vote.

Although given the word map provided for Halo which had things like coop & bug free being included as the reason they voted for it I suspect many never played it.

I played a shit lot of Halo, I got to 75ish on the battle pass and completed it on Legendary so I could get my feelings around it, but honestly it was just OK, the best Halo 343 have made hands down, but still one of the worst in the franchise, for it to win anything irked me, its like people voted for the promise of future content and not what was actually provided.

And when I got sick of making that point and instead started making the odd snarky comment towards it for just being anouther GaaS title in a sea of GaaS titles, well... I still make the comments towards GaaS titles, and still will. Their supposed to be fair game as far as I can tell, despite the character on the front of the box.

Probably some butthurt reported you. Same happened to me few times.
It’s especially sensitive if you say anything wrong about Xbox series s. It’s like laughing at someone’s child here lol
It is funny to see the different perspectives when it comes to comments made about the various systems. If the same comments made about the XSS were made about the PS5 for example you'd get banned instantly. PS5 has a standing mandatory 2 week ban threat if you make comments about the TF it has. Lying about the XSS get no such response at all. There is plenty of consideration of people's sensitivity for certain platforms for sure.

Watch out, someone will report you for "concern trolling" if you mention the S.
If you don't own the XSS or any Xbox for that matter why would you even care what it does? Why does it's existence bother so many people? There are plenty of lower powered systems out there that don't receive nearly the 'complaints' the XSS gets. The XSS for instance is more powerful than the Switch yet Switch is rarely mentioned at all. It's pretty interesting for sure.

Look folks, the mods are not some 'YeeHawwwwwing' stereotypes. We all have really sad lives that we love to get back to - mainly brushing our hair. While the last of it still lingers. You both have one warning each, one is complaining about Microsoft and one is complaining about Sony. A perfect juxtaposition of the 'bias complaints'. And your warnings are not for any of the opinions you may hold about the topic in fact, but how you address other users or attempt to generalise all console owners/users into groups you then hurl attacks at.

Let me preface this first by saying...

UVlufou_d.webp


I do own an Xbox Series X, despite what others might claim.

And I dislike the series S in the same way I dislike Sony's new love of "Cross generation games," now currently the series S has not held Microsoft back, that's because the Xbox One/S/X has currently been the one to do this. Essentially when you design a game you have to design it for the lowest common denominator.

As a PC player it's why I have to buy £4000 PC's just to achieve slightly better than console preformance, because when you have to design a game around weak hardware it can only effectively scale so far. I know I know, PC's have thousands of variations the Series only has two, and your right, however there is still a demand on publishers that if they want there game on Xbox it has to work well on the series S. That will inevitably effect how specific games are designed, a load wall here, lower textures there etc, and instead of making games for the Series X and getting them to work on the S, it is far far easier to design games for the series S and get them to work on the X.

It's why I was happy with Sonys choice to essentially just release a disc vs no disc version as at least then they have the same console running the games. However yeah now we have essentially PS5 titles hamstrung because they need to work on the base PS4, something I don't like, however I know eventually it will go away... with the series S, that's hamstrung for the entire generation.

Honestly it costs more to buy a digital only Series S + a 1TB memory card than it does to just buy a Series X and with only 400GB of usable storage space unless you upgrade your going to want to. That's my personal thoughts on it, and I think it's many peoples they just don't voice it anymore incase they get smacked by the ban hammer, hence why I prefaced this with a picture of my actual console.

Now excuse me as I use my PS5 to play this niche weeb PS4 title that was designed and also released for the Nintendo Switch.

Maybe I should try using it more. I know its probably asking for too much

It is funny to see the different perspectives when it comes to comments made about the various systems. If the same comments made about the XSS were made about the PS5 for example you'd get banned instantly. PS5 has a standing mandatory 2 week ban threat if you make comments about the TF it has. Lying about the XSS get no such response at all. There is plenty of consideration of people's sensitivity for certain platforms for sure.

You are saying that if I state the fact that the PS5 GPU has 10.28 teraflops then I will be banned for two weeks? Seriously?

I once got 3 warning points for posting a pic of Phil laughing. I also got 3 warning points for posting a Marty Mcfly gif in a thread made by the user 'Marty Mcfly' lol.

Sometimes the mods get it wrong, but overall they do a fantastic job.
My only worry is that there are a few posters where it must be 90% of their posts are console war posts, yet thye are still here. I mean many on here know who they are, and the mods arent stupid so.

the post was removed, I remarked on it in a Halo Infinite thread the same day it happened

Currently looking through my notifications to see if I can find the warning at least

edit: here's the warning: Bill O'Rights Bill O'Rights

and I think the exact post I made was:
"Horizon Forbidden West was pretty mediocre, let's hope the sequel will not be as mundane"


Ah ok, that's not a 'warning'. When we just delete posts we can send a notification. This one was basically saying "Look you already have a courtesy warning, we're going to look the other way this time despite that, but next time, we will follow through."


We call them warn-warnz, or prebans.

Is there anyway to look up why I was banned (and by whom) for a week years ago? I remember it being around atlas shrugged and i remember myself thinking I was being “picked on” but I suspect it’s not as clear as I remember.

It was a long time ago, not sure exactly when.


We only have the new logs since the move to xen, so unfortunately not. It was probably unjust sadly.


The main problem I have with you is that you use light theme ...Who does that?It is way worse than any mod actually rooting for any brand...

I looked on my page but couldn't find anything does this mean I never had a warning or that I don't have access to my warnings because there's nothing about it on my page ?


You have no warnings, I will remedy that now though. Using my milk filmed eyes, that require the light theme at 100% brightness so I can see more than shapes.

there's something to this tho.

I once got a warning for literally saying "Horizon Zero Dawn was mediocre, let's hope the sequel is better". and yes it was not any worse than that

but on the other hand I royally shit on Halo Infinite with every opportunity I get, and never got a warning for that at any point

so I understand why some might get the impression if biased mods when stuff like that happens
I bash sony and greedy jimbo a lot and never got a warning for that.

The only 2 warnings i received was when i trolled nintendo or switch users.

So mods really don't seems to have a favourite brand if we mix my experience with your experience.
