GameFAQs Moderator

A cranky old piece of dipshit, conflicted with nerdy humor and a nonexistant social life, these nerds' dreams in life are to become moderators so they can sit around all day and moderate messages on a forum. They're extremely paranoid, only worst of all, certain things that should be moderated aren't, and vice versa. It goes to the point where you can't actually say anything debate-like.

It's so hard to write anything because it;ll get moderated, and all because the moderator took what you said the wrong way because they're sicko perverts who jack off to anime.

That basically sums up the moderators. Don't forget, they obviously don't have a social life if they moderated for a forum. Although, wasting my time writing a definition for them isn't helping my life.
One time I accidentally, unintentionally, and barely used a replacement for a worse word (i said fork instead of fuck, and i was explaining how that rule should be remembered), then I got a suspension even though I had no prior moderations, and I had 50 karma. Instant ban. Next time I'll think twice before giving others my example.

One time I marked a username impersonating me directly, and nothing happened. why the fuck could he get away with that bullshit?

My definition is kinda screwed up. It applies to all people of GameFAQs, not just gamefaqs moderators.

moderator balls

The significant change in personality a forum poster gets shortly after he/she realizes the kind of authority they have after being ranked to a moderator status, enabling that individual to be aggressive and assertive instead of passive like they usually were before they had power.
Moderator: Cool it with the flaming, I've had enough out of you already. I'm about a hair's width away from locking this thread.

Forum poster: Someone's moderator balls have dropped recently.

Bad Moderator

A bad moderator is a moderator who spend his time abusing his powers instead of doing any good.

Saying stuff like he's above the rules and complaining when people leave after he goes against them.
Have you heard of Ascensiam? He's a really bad moderator.

cyber-suicide by moderator

When a user in an internet chatroom or forum becomes really hostile towards a moderator for them to eject that user out of the chatroom or internet forum!

Hostile users attempt to annoy and offend the community chatroom or forum and it's moderators every way they can, resulting with the moderators banning them despite many warnings and guideline notices given by the the community or moderators towards that hostile user and may even close their account.
Hostile user: You'll of full of crap and I hope you all die!
Moderator: I've asked you three times, could you stop insulting the community and myself?
Hostile User: Screw you!
*Hostile user has been kicked out of the room by Moderator*
Community Member: What was the point of that!

Some Random User: That user has committed cyber-suicide by moderator!

Gamefaqs Moderator

A species that carries two varieties:

Variety 1-A sincerely respectable and competent person who enforces reasonable rules and gives fair punishments. Unfortunately, is a incredibly rare breed.

Variety 2-A cranky person who takes things too seriously, mods people for saying things they don't like or agree with (regardless of the rules), and will instinctively play the rule lawyer game when called out on it. Will also frequently single out sole examples of the perceived rule breaking while blowing off other posters doing equal or worse.
A Variety 2 Gamefaqs Moderator in action:

"Topic deleted by mod due to being off topic"

Poster-But my topic involved various characters from the game and discussed them. And there are a crapload of topics that are just as much off topic such as crappy VS threads and yapping about your retarded fetishes threads.

Mod-Don't care. Don't like your thread. I like reading posters go on about how Sonic's furry power beats Mario, repeat unfunny memes, and go on about what underage cartoon characters they'd like to bone.

Poster-Fag.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

And here's another example:

Poster-"Posts his opinion on something that others don't agree with"

Mod-"Deletes post for trolling"

Poster-The Hell? I didn't post that to annoy other users or incite some flamewar. I was just posting my opinion.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

And another example:

Poster: "Posts in topic that's now about a game where a black guy goes around killing white people by asking if the game will have fried chicken"

Mod: "Uses mod powers for some reason even though the post wasn't any more offensive than others in the topic that weren't modded whatsover."

Poster:''Is suspended, and doesn't get the chance to contest the moderation"

GameFAQs Moderator

The pathetic, obstructionist losers in charge of babysitting the members of the website GameFAQs. Their main job is to ensure that no one attempts to form anything that could be considered a rational, adult thought. If anyone does attempt to think on a level higher than a impressionable little child, it is the job of the moderator to ban them. Any emerging threat of intelligence must be contained. For as we all know, CNet makes more money when everyone is kept stupid. Intelligence, after all, is bad for business.
The GameFAQs moderators just suspended me for referring to religion as "mythology" in a topic arguing that evolution isn't real. God, what a bunch of fucking retards. They really should shoot themselves right in their worthless heads.
