Yeah. It's basically hell in internet form. GameFAQs Moderators suspend you for voicing your opinion. The dictator, CJayC, is an asshole who can't even create an original "Poll of the Day" and ends up recycling them like paper. The gaming boards are runned down with fanboys and trolls, while the social boards are just full of immature fags. Please. Save yourself time and your life by never going here.

Get the GameFAQs Message Boards mug.As if the fact that people utterly cheat by using GameFAQs isn't bad enough, they also have this Internet "forum" run down by a community full of many different kinds of people, but I will run down the list: grammar whores, grammar whores, nerds, losers, over-excited losers, pervs, Nintendo fanboys, people who act like GameFAQs is life, and smart and funny people, but we'll ignore those for now, because they're always ignored by the legions of people who use "1337" common Internet lingo that is supposed to boosts' one's low self esteem, and are marked by people who are sucks ups and whose dreams it is to become a fucking moderator in life.
Okay, and while usually it runs fairly smoothly like this, whenever one posts a topic, you usually get sucky responses. Normally, when people don't know the answers to questions one asks, they just say "Oh, look, you spelled going wrong, hahahah," or "nice grammar, dude." Hah, faggots.
Next up is the people who are pervs: normally, when someone posts something, some sick joke about boobs, vaginas, penises, etc. will come into play by nerds, and sometimes they aren't even funny. The nerds and losers use 1337, and it is apparently to boost their "cool points." Worst of all, they always are goody-goodies who don't break the ToS and are always posting things like "lol *steals ur cookie on your b-day THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO NOW! MUAHAHAHAH! *slaps u hahahah I win* They're such retards, and I wonder if they do hat in real life. Oh wait, these same people are depressed and go to the Internet to boost up their courage.
Now, there are no such things as opinions on Satan's Asshole, err, GayFAGs. I don't get why people argue and insult each other on something as trivial as a fuckin game. Especially Nintendo fanboys, who don't let anyone say anything about their precious Metroid being boring or their Mario sucking, because they will say you can go shove your head up your ass if they think you're insulting Nintendo's "wisdom" of thousands of ports. People will patrol the site until you say that Zelda is the best series. They will also play a game day to night and think about every little thing and find out every non-relevant thing.
And, boy, the moderators, the people who supposedly "help the site" but not only destroy it, but destroy their lives in the process. Now, they will always moderate you for everything like being very funny and they love ruining funny jokes. You will get modded for just voicing your opinion, or saying something besides little immature pretend parties and whatnot, or being very funny, or if they are losing an embarrassing argument. Social stuff is a no no, and even topics related to the game are apparently off-topic. And they think they're clever and are God. Eat my ass, okay, so I said that some kid's mom is beaten daily, does that warrant a ban? You can supposedly contest this, but the moderators will never change their minds. Flawed system. On top of it, people who want to become a mod in life mark everything they see, even if it's funny.
And the karma system is so suckie. Anyone who doesn't have over 1000 karma is thought of as someone who has a bad opinion, and knows nothing. Basically,you get it for logging in once a day, so some person on a 900 account with sucky comebacks is instantly more fun than a cool person of 20 karma, because obviously it measures intelligence.
So, there's nothing good at all about GayFAGs. Everything has some sort of loophole and makes the site feel exploited. The most important part is the community, but most are dumbasses who are seeking depression cure. The end. Never ever go there. EVER. Unless you want people who will badly influence you and make you obsessed with games and GameFAQs.

Get the GameFAQs-Sports and Racing-NBA mug.The only forum I've been to that penalizes you for your opinion and rewards you for doing nothing. The base system of the message boards is inherently flawed. On the message boards, everytime you log in, you'll get a karma point. Karma points are points that basically help you level up your account. Simple, right? It gets worse.
Where on most message boards, as soon as you sign-up, you get basic features such as the ability to search for topics, or post as much as you want per day, or the ability to mark other people's topics, you can't do any of this right from the get-go. In order for you to post as decently as you would on any other message board, you must first level up your account. That means you must continually log-onto your account for about 3 months before you can have the same amount of features that you would get on a normal message board within the first day. The worst part of the basic system is that there is NO way to gain extra karma. You only earn it after you log-on the next day. You can't gain it by submitting video game reviews, guides and walkthroughs, or by submitting any other contributions to the site. You are literally stuck getting 1 karma per day. This is basically the staff of GameFAQs saying that "We don't give two shits about your contributions to the site, we only want more visitors per day."
As if that wasn't bad enough, you can lose karma points for literally anything you say or do. This makes trying to get basic posting features a pain in the ass. Voicing your opinion is intolerable, and you will be modded immediately. This is because the moderators are either inept, stupid, fanboyish, corrupt, or any combination of the four. Say how disappointed you are in Nintendo on the Wii board? Nope, you're trolling. How about saying that you like Majora's Mask more than Ocarina of Time on the OoT board? You're trolling. What about saying how overrated you think Halo 3 is on the 360 board or the Halo boards? You're most certainly trolling. Some of the penalties for these so-called 'violations' are absolutely ridiculous. For example, getting your account banned because you posted a picture of a girl who had a nipslip where 1/64th of a nipple was actually showing, even though showing the area of boobage around the nipple is perfectly acceptable.
So in a nutshell, you gain ONE karma per day, and one wrong post can take off anywhere from 3 to 10 karma. But it gets even worse.
The moderators can't even decide on what's tolerable and what's not. This is the worst part of the moderators. Several users will get away with certain stuff, and as soon as you do the same, you will get moderated. The other users' posts will still be there for several weeks. When you contest a moderation, they even make a note of saying that mentioning how other people did it and got away with it is not an excuse. Maybe if they actually did their job instead of deciding when and when not to moderate somebody, they wouldn't even need to put that as a note.
Now, admittedly, upon signing up, very few people bother to read the ToS. People expect it to be the same cookie cutter "Don't post bad things!" type of things you see in the ToS for other forums. However, after you get moderated repeatedly, you will think to actually look back at the ToS to see if there's anything you missed. You will see that even the ToS is flawed. Half of the things you can get moderated for aren't even mentioned in the ToS. You will also see that it is just full of loopholes, in the form of manipulating statements such as "this includes but is not limited to..." in their favor. They add new violations to their list everyday, but it never appears in the ToS.
And finallly, the users. The morons have a lot of karma points, and intelligent users have very little. And your opinion will also be belitted because of your low karma. Both the moderators and the users seem to think their opinion is fact.
Please, do not visit GameFAQs. It's nothing more than aggravation after aggravation. If you're looking for a decent video game forum, don't go here at all.

Get the GameFAQs Message Boards mug.A site where you can read game walkthroughs, polls, and the message board, where you can chat about games and other things. Seems like a gamer's dream come true, right, WRONG!
I signed up for it, thinking it would be good, but it is horrible! This site is run by CJayC and his lackeys, the Gamefaqs moderaters. The mod's goal is to spoil the fun. There are many strict rules, you can't even say bitch. And if you say something "offensive", you are screwed! You can't even speak your mind! If you diss the mods, you are screwed!
So, if you break the rules, what happens? Well, you have a karma system. It's kinda like experience points. Post a day, you get one karma point. When you get enough karma, you can post more. Yes, you are limited to posting until 75 karma. If you break a rule, it will be deleted, and you might lose 3 karma. It's called a moderated message. Post something really bad,like dissing the mods, and you lose 10 karma and get "warned."
Keep posting bad things, you get banned. You can talk to a mod if you think the moderation is unfair, but they will usually be a smartass and won't listen to you. I was banned because I said to close a topic.
The rules are nearly impossible to follow, so don't botter with GameFUCKS.
The mods are nothing but nerds!
