Acanex88: Huh thats odd cause the entire thread seems to be gone lol

Upon further investigation I am in fact banned. The thread shows up when I log out of my account and disappears when I log back in. I can see it on the forums when not on my account but not when I'm on my account. Many would call that banned. So yeah I'm a bit irritated I got banned for expressing an opinion. Worst part was I wasn't even rude about it. Guess next time though I should be a royal arse if that's all it takes
If you mean the Community Giveaway thread, then you may need to check your forum settings. Scroll to the top of the forum page and look for 'My Settings'. It should be on the right side under the black bar that contains Store, Community, Support, and your username. Click on it and make sure you have the box that controls 'Hide Posts with negative rating' unticked.

Your post in that thread was downrated - by other users, not zeogold - and this may have ended up hiding the thread on you.

As others have noted, zeogold is not an admin on this site and cannot ban anyone from any threads whatsoever.

your posts are rated by other forum members, extreamly low rated posts cause the member to not be able to post in that paticular thread for a length of time

as MANY in the thread have stated Zeo is a memeber just like you or I, the moderators write in BLUE text and will have GOG.com Team under their avatar. if your "banned" you will get an email telling you so and for how long.

tinyE: he's right. And that's a cross I need to bare.

I've spoken to a lot of the folks I hurt with that incident and several of them have forgiven me for it, though I can't imagine why, it was arguably unforgivable.

All I can really do is continue to try to make amends to the people I fucked over and try to be a better person than I was.
all I have to say is

tinyE: zeo belongs to an administration team?

XD

I consider him a good friend (though I seriously doubt he feels the same about me) and that's the first I've ever heard of that.

amok: zeogold is not part of any "admin" team

Let the man talk, doggone it!

Now, where was I? Ah, yes...
Upon hearing this new piece of information, I would like to formally accept my position as forum admin. My first course of action shall be to change the locks from regular keys to puzzles. Fairfox shall be in charge of redecorating. I want an office in the east hall, where I can keep an eye on the dumpster behind the HQ and am far away enough from Judas' desk that I don't have to smell his pierogi collection. Konrad's reanimated corpse is hereby put on permanent spatula duty.
Thank you for your cooperation, and may the odds be ever in your favor when Mustache Monday swings around.

Edit: Dang, that joke didn't have nearly the impact I was hoping thanks to the stupid avatar bug. I'd have had to plan that one out days in advance. Bah.

Acanex88: I'm writing this as I can't message zeogold due to privacy settings. I want him to reach me. I made an statement about delegating and stated clearly it was an opinion and was in no way hostile. Yet the "admin" team to which he belongs felt that was reason enough to "ban" me from the forum post and want to resolve this with him hoping this was an accident and not an act of vengeance for a simple opinion. Please let me know
...but seriously my dude, I haven't blocked you from anything and hold no ill will against you. I don't have the power to do that kinda thing, nor do I have any reason to. My chat's always set to "everyone", so the only reason you wouldn't be able to PM me is if you haven't changed your own chat settings from the default "friends only".

That being said, being able to hide the whole dang thread for somebody who got a low rating on one of their posts in it is a new one on me. If this is seriously a legit thing now, this could be good and also go horribly, horribly wrong.

Then you're not doing it right :)
I don't think anyone is banned from this forum.

Unfortunately.
As you can see zeogold GA is gone. I was there chatting with a few people and now this

No it's completely gone. I can only see if it if I come in as a guest (no account).

Fine with me, as long as Fairfox isn't in charge of grammar or some autocorrect/autocomplete function! ;-)

Relevant.
Do not panic just because the forum glitches a bit. It is normal for this forum.

Do you mean post 1883 in the thread "The Community Giveaway - GOG Edition"? Only one person replied to you in that thread about that post, and that was tinyE, and that was nowhere near a hostile response. You're obviously barking up the wrong tree with your assumptions.

Do other people in other forums usually react to you in the way you assumed was happening (though it isn't happening here)? Is that why you assumed there's a special admin team with zeogold, and then assumed they and not him banned you, and then assumed you could work it out with zeogold rather than the team whom you assumed banned you? Oh, and then you prepared yourself to assume it was vengeance for…for…a few words?

Now that you have said in post 1892 that it's all back to normal, have you reflected upon this thread you opened in regard to your reactions?

Are you sure you weren't expecting there to have been an adverse reaction for your post in the other thread, and so the first thing that goes wrong must have been that adverse reaction you were expecting? It seems odd to me for you to claim that you "stated clearly it was an opinion and was in no way hostile" but then make several assumptions about getting banned for it even though the first response to your post was polite.

It seems to me you set yourself up to see something and so you readily saw it even when it wasn't there. But maybe that's because I'm used to seeing a lot of defensiveness on these forums. Maybe I'm just seeing what I've seen before (or what I think I've seen…).
