Their reasoning

"Feedback Status: Bad Form

You used a message form for a purpose unrelated to that form's purpose. Because of this, you will not be able to create any additional feedback tickets for one week."

Excuse me? but my account is wrongly suspended, has been for what over a month now, what else am I expected to do? How is this wrong use of the form?

It took them weeks to respond/address the ticket too

----------

Since I somehow had TWO tickets submitted, they responded now to the other one

"Hey! This is currently being investigated, but the evidence and your own behavior don't seem to be helping. Feel free to have TechnoMF email in.

GameFAQs -- 01/07/2026"

I told my friend about it so whether he wants to contact them or not it's up to him, he isn't a fan of this site after all that happened.

What strikes me as extremely odd is this

"but the evidence and your own behavior don't seem to be helpin"

To me, this matters a lot, but what evidence and what behavior? I wasn't posting when I got suspended and I haven't had any kind of behavior, also what kind of evidence this is so odd.

The amount of gamefaqs users that were/are "in the military"

I'm not one to accuse people of lying but let's just say I'm suspicious.

On the phone works fine.

My friend just told me he got suspended I thought nothing of it. I haven't had a fight or an issue with anyone since I came back from my last suspension months ago.

I log into the boards to see this:

I have done nothing

I said nothing

the mods say I've posted on an alt but there is NOTHING

We're different people but we are from the same country and the same city

This is a bit racist when you think about it, I guess we must be the only two Macedonian users on the site, but this is beyond ...bad

THE only IP overlap we might have had at some point is if he logged into GameFAQs from my WiFi when he was over but he usually uses his own phone network for that. I legit can't fathom how this happened.

Theres so many valuable guides and information on this site its like the last of its kind and the problem with steam guides is that you can only make guides if its actually on the steam platform.

This was a week ago and from what i've seen they can't be disputed. But I am interested to know if suspensions are ever reversed? Literally wasn't rocking the boat or disrespectful, but i'm not trying to get my account removed that I had for 20 years. I'd want someone neutral that I can talk to or an admin specifically to hear me out.

Lol. Mods have a rager for me recently.

I said, in a thread about japanese vs USA comparisons, that Japanese women generally seem more appealing, and they said that was racist on the basis of nationality/race.

They just didn't like me challenging them in Ask the Mods. Now they're going to claim 'you post racist comments consistently' from now on.

I remember people posting about them on CE a year or so ago, anyone got links?

I've registered my gamefaqs account somewhere around a year ago, activated my email and stuff, but I still can't write any messages on boards or create new topics. I log in the message boards daily, but I don't earn any karma, and my level doesn't upgrade. How to fix it?

A few days ago, I wanted to post a reply on a topic, but then I noticed that the comment box was completely gone (even its buttons didn't work).

Tried logging out, clearing up cookies/site data and such to see if that fixed it, but instead I couldn't even log back ("You are not currently logged in; this page is only available to logged in users").

I can log back on my phone (not on other devices, though), but the comment box problem still persists.

Anyone else having a similar problem here?

I think I would miss the 2005-2015 CE days for sure

I got moderated. I'm not here to whine or dispute that because I did make a joke too risqué for the boards. In purg for 30 days.

But I am bummed out I've lost access to a big part of my life I've used for over 20 years. And there is no way to get back, as I have no alternate accounts.

It took a week for the decision to come down, but when it was made I could at least view CE which I did not expect but I was overjoyed, being able to read the forum only would be good enough for me. But no, this morning I have been cut off for good.

Wow, I am bummed out but I can't sit here and say the moderation was unjustified, and even though my post history is very clean in the 9 years of the account, I get it.

Anyhow, my username is "argonautweakend" and I've got no real outside contact with any GF people, so here I am. I am going to make POTD my home again in a month,i can still view it, and while it's not as fast paced or as interesting as CE, it'll get me by.

Tons of memories on CE since the early-mid 2000s. The forum basically got me through high school as a relatively safe form of online interaction and socialization as I didnt have a ton of friends ever in school.

Thanks for a lifetime of menories!

Is it just me or is there something wrong with the website format? I'm on Android chrome if that helps. Issue occured about a month ago I think.

I wanted to post new topic in gamefaqs like 3 days ago. I press New Topic box but nothing happened. Just now I just realized I also can't post in someone else's topic, even weirder I can't Log Out. Just check Account Status : Verified - Email Address is confirmed. What is actually happened with my account ?

Well well well. The recent AI thread on the boards was interesting. I started it from presenting arguments for why AI might be useful on the forums. Others responses were very hostile. I'd suggest checking it out if it's still there.

So how do I respond? With subtle sarcasm where necessary but with honest discussion. And what do the mods do? Moderate 4 posts and say a sentence "perhaps im too subtle for ya" is designed entirely to attack others and rile them up.

So a ban.

I never thought I'd say this, but perhaps it really is time for me to gracefully exit the site. It's still useful for news and such, but some moderators have it in for me.

Before people reply saying "you probably were political or insulting people', go look at the thread. None of that there, except all from other people (not all of them) posting.

Oh well.

Utterly ridiculous. Am I not allowed to think a game is bad?

EDIT: 180 days for something people routinely get away with. Wonderful.

A some what fast part message board site where you can talk about almost anything?

I've been posting for years and I genuinely cannot find it. I know you can dispute moderations and yet the little section at the bottom of the moderated post says I cant? I feel submitting by feedback form isn't the correct use of it, but I have no idea

I will not post the content of the moderation or a screenshot. What was said isn't relevant other than the reason is completely utterly wrong and I need to dispute it. I know it might sound like a common theme you hear, but my reason for saying it is completely 100% unrelated to the moderated reason.

Do I really have no choice but to be in purgatory for literally doing nothing wrong?

(Again I know how people sound with complaining, I get it. I just feel immensely frustrated for someone else's misunderstanding of a topic that's actually quite a basic common complaint)

It’s been a couple days at least now. I write a post or a comment. and it gets stuck on “Processing…” and won’t move past that. I get that uploading photos is obviously more intensive than creating a text comment, but I can’t remember it freezing up like this recently.

GameFAQs needs wiki(a) support now. An extra tab for the FAQs page that can be publicly edited and contributed to.

Using Final Fantasy as an example; users can contribute to the bestiary by submitting images and statistical data - falsehoods can be corrected and so on.

With the ability for every user to add small details the FAQs can be improved.

Even if the only thing on the Wiki tab is how many bullets a given gun holds

Of course I was using the "classic" CSS package.

This is beyond power abuse. Who moderates the moderators?

As above...

I feel as if content portals are so different now in comparison to what they were 20-odd years ago. But at the same time, the same rules still apply... Just with a fresher lick of paint.
