I wasn't attacking another member, someone posted a small minded comment about Gabe Newells weight and I made a sarcastic comment, taking the mick out of people who make these pea brained remarks. But obviously that's wrong of me aye?

The openzone is there for people to make those kinds of comments, as long as they don't cross the line

It was in the Open Zone and I made a comment that was no worse than the comment I was taking the mick out of. Is it selective moderating in the Open Zone?

Hello, I am new here and I would like to know what I said that got me banned from the gamer zone, I read the ToS and I am pretty sure I did not break it.

After watching a Forza 3 video, I stated...

(yep, Forza 1 is looking great. People still play it though? Oh, nm, this is the new forza!?! Meh, I`ll just wait for a real racing game like GT5)




I honestly do not think that the game looks incridbly better then forza 1, it is a matter of opinion and it is a harmless joke. I also would prefer waiting for GT5 which I think is looking to be a much better racer.  




It is no different then this kind of comment in the gamer zone, yet this person is not modded, nor is he restricted, why is that?

For your comment in the Forza thread.  It was an open zone comment not a gamer zone comment

What do you mean I don't have a life?
I'm a gamer, I have tons of lives.

how is that defined?

Same as always

As a new member, all I have to go by is this,

Gamer Zone Posting Guidelines
The Gamer Zone is for members who want a more friendly and civilized discussion. This section is heavily moderated by the N4G staff, so leave your fanboyism at the door please. Members who are unable to behave in a mature and respectful manner will be temporarily or permanently restricted from posting in the Gamer Zone. Using words such as Xbots and Sony droids, or other words from the console war vocabulary, is strictly prohibited in this Zone.


I dont feel like I went against these guidelines, and if there are other guidelines pls, point me to them so I can avoid from repeating the mistke. I almost feel like I was modded because someone in the mod team was personaly insulted by what I would concider a a small joke, not unlike many other jokes on in the gamerzone. 



and no, it is not same as always since some people are new here so for me, it is not same as always.



edit : Why can I say this...

yet get restrited for a little joke on Forza 3?

Well even if you are new the rules have always been there.  It's one day just mind the fanish jokes.  Yes there may be other comments but I would suggest using the report button on those as the mods can't see every comment on the site unfortunatly.

Which report is  for (fanish) comments?   


Off topic
Offensive
or Spam



And I will take the 24 hours, it just does not seem consistent, or fair.

Any of the three really just depends on the use of it.  Though we'll see it regardless of which you select.  I highly suggest the use of it

I would agree with PsWii60 on this matter, while we're usually pretty tolerant of gamerzone coments its very clear that your comment was meant to start some kind of flamewar, which we try to stop as much as possible.

There is no factual ground to state the Forza 3 looks like Forza 1, and telling people which game you'd rather wait for is unneeded.

So it would be safe for me to say that you guys have a lot of work to do in every upcoming Shift and Forza review threads? Should we expect people who say that they would prefer waiting for GT5 to get restricted for saying they dont think the games look good? Is that fair? Can I expect every person I will be reporting to get restricted like I did for stating what you consider an non factual opinion about Forza and Shift? Thats kinda weird no?

People can state that they like Forza over GT or GT over Forza, but when you say something as silly as Forza 3 looks like Forza 1, we know your trying to stir trouble. So yes if thats what you want to say don't say it.

Got to say, I feel my gamer zone ban of 5 days for "DEVELOPERS! etc" was unwarranted, especially since it was hilarious, relevent and not spam, since I only posted it once and noted I would buy it if it did.

Posting DEVELOPERS! over and over again so it makes a block of text does not prove a point nor is it proven to be a mature way of discussing a subject.
