yep.. that's right.. Back on the 20th I told a Star Trek Fanboy he was acting "foolish" after he was abusing everyone else calling them trolls.. The warning from Cryptic is that I was "flaming" ha ha ha.. I then sent a response back to the Moderator saying.. that STO fans can go around insulting anyone they can, but if I say someone is acting foolish I get smacked? Come the 25th.. I received a SECOND warning from the same Moderator for the exact same POST. I mean the EXACT same post.... UNBELIEVABLE.. I just now sent off another reply asking if this sort of incompetent moderation is standard? No wonder the game gets such bad press... and I plan to give it alot more.. PS.. This has nothing to do with MMORPG's staff This is over on the cryptic website
You actually called the moderator incompetent? Way to go, man! -.-
If a moderator gave a second warning for the same offense then either he is incompetence or their system is garbage that cant keep track on who got warning for what offense.
While that may well be true, common sense means that one doesn't annoy those who carry huge ban hammers...
i dont see why we pay thier paychecks and if they are showing stupidity it should be in our power to call them on it
I cna only hope you get banned form these forums as well. crying about how u got banend for this and that. I bet u actually acted like a TWAT and thats why u got a warning or whatever. Either way I hope more of u monkeys get banned.
First LOL
Second its true, you do anything to point out someone flawed statements and you get smacked if you dont do it in a professional and courteous manner. I have been smacked by many a moderator, to which i would reply with a list of the rules they say i broke and i would list the reasons i didnt, then i would go on to point out the fact that the other person is breaking the rules by badmouthing a game withouth giving any factual info just " This game suck!" without giving reasons, that way the remove the smack and are required to smack X person rather than me for trolling. If you fight for your right to critisize u can win, it just takes patience and effort. So when a Mod does something stupid point out where they are wrong in a nice way and show them how the other person is breaking the rules not you.
I cna only hope you get banned form these forums as well. crying about how u got banend for this and that. I bet u actually acted like a TWAT and thats why u got a warning or whatever. Either way I hope more of u monkeys get banned.
That has to be the worst paragraph I have ever seen. I guess these forums need to add spell checker for the 9 year old responses. Way to fail Demz2 "Troll".
Dude really come on. I have terrible grammer and i sometimes type so fast that 2 letters get mixed up too. Why are u going to insult someone for a spelling mistake.

something everyone should know when it comes to moderated forums
rule 1 if your told to chill do that if an moderator told you so doesnt matter if someone is stupid report them. Dont act like a self appointed moderator sits ill with everyone.
rule 2 you dont talk back to a moderator. if you think a moderator misbehave or something report ,dont get personal with him, so of course he gave a second warning i would do the same and its not abusing moderator powers at all.
Simple rules abide by them and you will live long and prosper.

OP I'm not calling you a liar at all but I'm also not just going to take your word for it that you said absolutely nothing other than that someone was acting "foolish". Which honestly can in fact be looked at as a statement to garner a warning (as in wouldn't you expect to get a warning for having called that person a fool?) then why expect that saying he's acting foolish might garner any less than that.
I'm not certain but often times when I'm warned I'm sent a easy to copy and paste transcript of what I said which again is why I'm not just jumping up to defend you against the evil mmo practices, you give us nothing but your side of the story as vanilla as can be when we should all know that nothing is ever that simple. I would gauge that as an answer simply from what I see in the STO chat it's rarely as simple as someone saying something fanboyish and someone with a one word response like "stop acting foolish" again you would probably be the first one to leave it at that.
I also wonder where was this conversation going before you declared another to act foolish, something had to be being said to lead up to that yet we hear nothing about it from you so I'm going to continue my skepticsm on the one hand and on the other I'm going to wonder why a simple warning from a company horrible at CS is worthy of a post anyway.
but yeah, to call this game Fantastic is like calling Twilight the Godfather of vampire movies....
When did this become anything other than standard practice? I don't think I have seen a company that this post wasn't made about.
Quoted for truth.
Supporters of a game will always be given more slack WRT posting habits than critics will. What game it is, is irrelevant.
And you have to play by their rules, they have every right to ban you from posting just because they put a pin in your name. Misbehave, bad mouth and expect to be removed, simples.

and tell that to the dude who gets the crap beat out of him by a cop and see if he gets a good lawyer mainly since we are talking about a company not a cop and why would i be getting stopped in the first place
just because one has authority does not give him the right to abuse it and just because he can doesnt make it right by any means and just because you say so doesnt make it so
X.. I agree.. I know darn well that what the moderators are doing now is damage control and protect their paying OB customers.. I had no intention of buying the game in it's current state, and Cryptic is probably aware of that.. However, it doesn't excuse their moderation.. Warn me once for saying a fanboy is "foolish" is one thing.. but warn me a 2nd time 5 days later for the same post... Unbelievable.. I shows me the level and quality of staff they employ
So, you admit you have no intention of buying, but you felt the need to insult the moderators.
Why? If everything went perfect for you in this situation, what would happen?
You are just stirring up shit for your own amusement, no other reason. And as such, you deserve a ban.
Yes.. I'm going to call the moderator incompetent for being exactly that.. I wouldn't tolerate a cop for giving me two speeding tickets for the same event.. so why should I give the moderator a free excuse? There is no excuse for Cryptic staff (insourced or not) for this..
Fine, but why bother? What will you gain from this? Personal satisfaction? A cure for boredom? My point is you have no intention of playing so just walk away? You've nothing to gain by staying and nothing to lose by leaving.

The one thing you learn pretty quick on this site is to pay no attention to the forums. I was mailed some warning bullshit for putting up my concerns about the game as well.
