Nope. Never read the posting guidelines either, you can pretty safely sum them up to be: Don't be a dick.
While I share your dislike of that particular series, it was probably considered pretty offensive for the women in question to be called prostitutes. That was probably what the suspension was for.beddo said:The Escapist banned me because I said I considered porn stars to be prostitutes and their new series I Hit it With My Axe to be a pathetic ratings grabber for socially retarded geeks.
Sounds like someone got a case of the power-happies. I hate idiots who do that (especially since I'm a moderator and/or admin on a number of forums and some people just don't trust moderators or admins full stop because of the actions of a few morons).Wahful said:I have however been banned from the Midway Forums, i got into an argument with the only 20K+ poster while i was still in my Sub 1K days.
I think a lot of people have been suspended for that. I'm almost afraid to share my thoughts on that show...vaderaider said:I got suspended for saying game dogs is crap.
I don't see why you can't be entitled to your own opinion. You aren't attacking anyone individually, I don't think. Aside from maybe the Escapist as a whole, but is a bad remark really that much skin off of their nose?beddo said:The Escapist banned me because I said I considered porn stars to be prostitutes and their new series I Hit it With My Axe to be a pathetic ratings grabber for socially retarded geeks.
As the moderator knew some of the cast they made a completely unprofessional and emotive decision. I have no respect for them.
Edit: I did complain to them about this and the responses I got were indicative of people who didn't have a leg to stand on. And yes, I'm aware that they don't like people complaining about bans so I expect more ridiculousness from them.
