It's been discussed previously, and EviLore doesn't seem to like the idea. It's a pretty decent moderation strategy to keep the line you musn't cross as vague as possible, so that people stay away from it.

It was the best fun I've ever had on the Internet. Gaming included. If I remember right, the thread caused so much tension active members who genuinely asking for account bans in disgust. All this before the constant rollercoaster rides on whether he was telling the truth or not.

Problem with this though is that moderating becomes subjective. For example, the copyright issue - there are some things some Mods will tolerate where others won't. Or another example on the topic of spanking or discipling your kids by hitting them.

For a topic change...
Anyone remember wizword?
He was the guy that e-mailed a professor and was upset about the response that he got and GAF ridiculed him.
Then, he made a thread about his car being stolen and the first poster said, "Your professor took it." :lol
He later suicided by posting porn.

Well yeah, the moderating is subjective. Maybe that's good, or bad, or irrelevant. Too bad we can't discuss this stuff, as per the TOS.

MAF's ban was the worst. I still cry sometimes when I think about it... T_T

I wouldn't mind a random girl topic thread since I feel stupid if I make anything for or about our issues when there are so few women on this forum.

Nope.
IIRC, Dragona nominated him for modship and he expressed interest, but when I investigated I found a lot of bitterness and hostility towards GAF (on and off the forum), so I didn't take him on.
Happens to a lot of folks over time. Much like a relationship, you change, GAF changes, the good things don't do anything for you anymore and each problem grates on you more and more.

I'll happily point the finger at Jakncoke. The NFL threads were infested with posts by him with nothing but lol smilies in response to other posts. Evilore got rid of it and banned him for something like two weeks right before the Super Bowl. NFL-Age were not happy about this, and we memorialized the fallen poster in his absence by typing out :jakncoke in place of :lol.Chittagong said:you know who is the banned one I miss most?
it's this little fella
he would be like the Achievement Unlocked of gaf. If you created a really good gif or made a killer post, you would be greeted with the gaf equivalent of 200p Xbox Achievement, the triple lol - and really good ones would get several consecutive posts with them:
The banning of lol dude has significantly decreased my motivation to create new photoshops.
Sad, but then again, so is caring about gamer points.

Free crushed! although he won't be as good a poster without his .gif avatar of the stick figure slamming the keyboard
The whole Dyack saga was hilariously surreal. At one point he was on 1up Yours and made this remark:
"If you're going to look at the NeoGAF forum as a non-profit organization, if it does not reform itself, it's eventually going to crumble. There's going to be a point where they step over the line where someone's going to shut them down. That would be a loss for everyone."
(snagged from Ars Technica)
EviLore they're gonna shut you down mang.

I know you're being sarcastic BUT there is a good reason why I love this and basically only this forum..people talking shit get banned immediately, no fucking smilies and whats most important no animated avatars (even though now that I have have turned them off completely I wouldn't care anymore).

Yeah I still don't understand why he thought there was some kind of governing body that rules over internet message boards, with the power to shut them down.Zeliard said:

I neglected to post this gem:
"NeoGAF and other forums like this that don't have good management are not only hurting society and hurting the videogame industry, they're in decline, and they need to reform quickly before people stop listening to them," he continued. "If the moderators and people who run the site think they aren't doing any damage, they are sorely mistaken, and it's only a matter of time before something bad happens."
I remember that particular 1up Yours ep being particularly embarrassing. Dyack just used it as his soapbox, pontificating at excessive lengths on various subjects and the others mostly just enabled him.

It really sucked that no one on that show called him out on the bullshit he was spewing. Should have got Shawn Elliot or someone in who would have been willing to do more than just sit back. I remember reading Evillore saying he would have appeared on the show if asked which would have made for a really interesting listen.Zeliard said:
I don't remember any real shockers banning wise. Maybe because I didn't/don't spend much time in the OT.
I'm sure I've come close to be temp banned once or twice, and only really remember the banning of the picture being pissed on as something specific. I do remember when Y2Kev was mod'd though!
Scarlet was fun on the gaming-side :\

As much as I would've loved someone like Elliot chewing him up, you gotta admit the guys just sitting back and being in awe of all the shit he was spouting made an amazing listen. He just dug himself a deeper and deeper hole.DKehoe said:
That ep was the reason I started visiting GAF I think, haha.

I love it when people take this place so seriously
I think it was Evilore who said in one of the recent threads that PR fims have threatened to blacklist gaf before.
from what exactly? nobody knows. It's like these people have never used the internet before.
