I remember mine. It was for asking if anybody wants to play some Timesplitters online, on the Timesplitters board. I wonder if the mod had any idea how completely stupid that moderation is. I was new, I was all taken aback, I didn't mean to do anything to cause a ruckus and get modded!

If I remember right it was forgetting spoiler warnings. Really stupid.

My latest moderation, which I just looked at again and was from months ago, got me arguing with the mods about their supposed inability to mod-edit posts to take out what was wrong with it instead of outright deleting it. I seriously started railing on the mods because they refuse to get with the times of current forums and being able to edit posts and adding in a spoiler tag or removing links or images that are offensive. Nope, gotta delete the whole damn thing and leave a moderation mark on someone's account.

I know it doesn't seem like it but that rant right there WAS supposed to be relevant to the topic. LOL

My point was: I got modded for not putting spoiler tags when mods could just as easily change the post to add a spoiler warning somewhere in there but nope, they apparently can't do that and don't even want to program it into the site. If you can add editing posts into your forum then you can add mods force editing posts.

I really hate their "We can do no wrong but every little mess up for you is counted against you, even if it's not your fault like if you quote someone else who posted something illegal"

I joined whenever I was 8, so I was really immature.

I got modded, and then banned immediately, for flaming a member and then flaming a mod that modded me.

It was fair.

My first, or one of my first I don't remember, was for quoting a post that happened to have the word "s***" in the body of the post, which was a vulgar word that was not completely obscured. After I read the moderation notice, I looked back at the original post that I quoted, and it was still up. Only mine, the post that quoted it, got modded. I remember disputing it, and the guy talking to me like I was an idiot.

Back when I was 8, the only Gamefaqs that we had was Dear Abbey. We'd write, and we'd write, asking her questions about Tank. And years later, she'd finally get back to us about moving on from this silly activity of video games. Yes, it may sound ridiculous now to some of you message board members of the younger persuasion. But I'll tell you, it really made us appreciate what we had, and that nothing in life was guaranteed. It made us really appreciate who family really is, and that nothing came free. Not in those days.

Very first post. I'd been lurking gamefaqs since highschool but never really saw the point of being on a message board. I was looking or help in The Darkness (stupid bell) and I created an account to tell a poster that he was incorrect, and also that he was a dumb little asshole. Both were true, one was moddible.

I can't even remember. I joined in like 2001 but I just lurked for a long time. It was probably for something like calling someone "silly".

I remember the day that you called me that. I'm still pretty angry as it was unprovoked.

I used to get modded a lot, but for some reason or another I have become untouchable on GameFAQs... I have to do some pretty extreme rule-breaking to even have a post deleted nowadays. Perhaps it's a fringe benefit of being the Troll Hunter jester::

I don't remember, but I'm pretty sure it was undeserved. The earliest one I remember was spoiler-related (the FFVII/Aeris thing), but that one was deserved, even if it seems like most people on gaming forums know about it by now.

I've had that happen to me before. I even asked the mod why they modded me but not anyone else who was doing just as bad or worse things than me and they said "We only mod was is marked, if you want it modded, mark it"

Which was BS when you consider this was the start of when I started being bullied online for having opinions different from other people. I had never been bullied in my life before so when I was first on Gamefaqs and getting bullied at 18 I didn't know how to handle it and so mishandled the situation a bit and got modded for it. Thanks Gamefaqs, for perpetuating bullying on the internet because you are too lazy to read a topic to see if someone actually needs to be modded and see if there's anything else mod-worthy in there.

I can't remember my first. I think it was flaming.

I was once modded for Spoilers on Mario Bros for saying the princess was in another castle.

Yes. That happened.

Also, it seemed (for awhile) that I had more modded posts than normal posts on the General board...

I just don't really go to the General board anymore.

I believe my very first mod was for calling Sunhawk a cockbag on the Books and Literature board - which I frequented a year or so ago.

May have been the 2nd or 3rd mod though... :)

Ooh Yeah!

It was for poking fun at an incredibly stupid post on the Fallout: New Vegas board when it first came out. There was a fanboy (can't remember the username) I remembered from the Fallout 3 board who was making daily topics about how "bad" New Vegas was compared to 3, and would flame whoever disagreed. In one topic he posted a bunch of misinformation about the game, and I tore it to shreds and ended it with an insult. I got modded and he didn't, but luckily he was banned like a week later.

My very first mod was also my very first post way back in 2000 hehe..
I was correcting misinformation about Bruce Lee, and insulting everyone in the process on the Martial Arts board.

My first was when I got in a fight with someone who said WoW should be in the Olympics, and that Olympians were "mindless retards with muscles, sports take no dedication"

That shit made me furious for some reason.

It's also a straight up lie. It's been proven that the Olympians, and other sports players, are quite intelligent. What's more is "sports takes no dedication" is a flatout lie. Sports probably take more dedication than ANYTHING else, sans a few upper-echelon professions.

Right? Biggest argument I've gotten in on FAQs...And I am a person who defends Fable 3.

The kid kept going on and on about how learning the "art" of WoW takes a billion times more skill than swimming a couple laps in a pool.

I'll admit, some gamers are amazing and far surpass my intelligence, but being more dedicated than someone who tears their muscles to shreds 6 days a week since they were a kid...someone sitting in front of a screen for a couple hours a day just doesn't measure up.
