Gotta love kids eh, acting all tough when there is no possible way of it catching them in real life.
Anywho, i got a warning for saying that a GW2 player that didnt want to think in a game just likes to stab things. apparently thats offensive. i have a feeling that when people hit the report button, it isnt always actually read.
It's not about the people who report. I'm almost 100% positive that people report without reall reading and base it not off of what the rules are, but that their feelings or sensibilities about something got hurt.
What confuses me sometimes is what gets baned. I too have been smacked by the ban after a nigh tof furious posting. When I got the message I figured, yeah I did say some pretty trollish stuff on that one post so ok. Then I looked at the reason and it was for saying something in a polite and joking way to somene I've been having a good back and forth with! I think sometimes, with the flood of what gets reported here there must just be key words or something that triggers an actual mod look.
Either way I'm not complaining. Their site, their rules. This guy broke 'em at some point and that's just the way it is.
Thing is I've found out if you take the time to email them they will work with you. It seems alot of the time they dont even read the post or leadup posts before handing down punishment. But once you email them, like I said, in my experience they will take a look at it and work with you if the offense isnt that bad. Though if you act like the OP dont expect them to do a damn thing.

The forums are not the place to handle this situation. Email or message MikeB, he can review a moderation decision for you and either explain why you were given an infraction or potentially reverse it. You can contact him at community@mmorpg.com. Not speaking to your specific case, but in general, sometimes how you say something is what's key. No one is ever banned or warned simply for having a negative opinion.
