Whenever i end up in a escapist thread (by accident i assure you sirs!) there is ALWAYS someone banned for no reason at all.
observe:

Vianyte:

Foggy_Fishburne:
The best thing would be to invest those 20 bucks to create a time machine, go back in time, and prevent that piece of shit and abomination to the word "multiplayer" so-called game from being made. Wishful thinking I suppose. If they're going to release a "gun pack" then it should be free. You can buy alot for 20 bucks, including a old or used game or food or something else that is more neccecery to sustain your life...
Wow, there aren't enough MW2 hate threads to satisfy some people's needs.
It's called venting. By all means, next time you see a "hate post", feel free to just keep on scrolling down the page. You'll do yourself and, most importantly, me a great favor that way. There's really no point in your reply is there? Unless your looking for a fight or something? Find someone else, I'm not in the mood for Arendt to breathe down my neck again
User was banned for this post.(Permanent)

WTF?

Yeah, but does anyone care? The Escapist stopped being good about 10 minutes after it was formed.

It has some video series that I watch occasionally as guilty pleasures (Doraleous and Unskippable, chiefly), still, I wouldn't be seen dead on the forums, they're almost as bad as Something Awful when it comes to frivolous bans.

I actually see this quite often. I made a blog recently about it about another forum that I happaned to stumble upon on a google search...

Apparently it's a site called facepunch. (How appropiate) I don't give a fuck how important you think rules and politeness are to a forum. You don't make a TF2 forum and not expect trolls. TF2's entire market is the basis for shtity memes and newfag antics.

You people keep doubting my crusade against internet moderation. Instead of ignoring me, you need to challenge me. Do you have more legal ways we can combat the moderator menance? Unions perhaps to sue moderators for banning us and others? (Afterall, it could be argued it's a form of harrassment, discrimination, and blocking us from our own intillectual property)

The only reason I propose grand theft and murder is because I sincearely doubt the law gives a shit about the criminal and immoral behaivor of internet moderators. It doesn't involve them making money or winning elections, therefore they lose interest.

:salute:

It does has its moments, but a lot of the time that's just the inferior quality of the cutscenes, rather than any specific comedic talent. It's something to kill a short amount of time before bed.
