"Mein Führer"? And why? Just because that term is usually associate with Hitler, doesn't mean, automatically, I'm talking about him. --- †The Portal to the Infinite† |

It's just German... If saying that's moddable, then saying anything in any language outside of English should be moddable, including "kawaii" and "bonjour." --- HA. Mere peanuts! |

From Bendilin It's just German... If saying that's moddable, then saying anything in any language outside of English should be moddable, including "kawaii" and "bonjour." It is, its disruptive. --- TheBanhammer™ You'll probably be hit by it... Hardcore™ - We'll probably be modded for this... |

I'm guessing it was the context of how you used it. --- Support bacteria - they're the only culture some people have! Want a good laugh? Spellcheck this: GodBlessAmerica |

I would, but they banned the account. I simply said, "Mein Führer, this is a ridiculous topic" or something like that. --- †The Portal to the Infinite† |

He should start, because this is just ridiculous. I've had accounts banned for stupid reasons, but this is by far the most asinine technicality I've ever seen. --- †The Portal to the Infinite† |

Just because that term is usually associate with Hitler, doesn't mean, automatically, I'm talking about him. So why automatically assume that you were modded for the association with Hitler? Why use that term at all? --- I are Serious Cat This is serious thread |

Let's tell the whole story next time. Your account had -4 karma because of all of your moderations. You were Notified three times and Warned twice. And your actual quote was: "Actually, the role of 95% of the posters on this board is to provide amusements for me and my associates. In the name of MEIN FUHRER, I suggest you get with the program." That wouldn't have been a ban if you didn't have -4 karma and the aforementioned hits to your account. Nice try for sympathy though. --- Um, not to criticize science or anything, but wouldn't it be easier just to call it "the pink one"? |

I wasn't fishing for sympathy. I'll tell you straight up, I was warned for ridiculous reasons in the first place. What good is the contest feature when they're never overturned, even if the mod admits it's ridiculous? Check the history on that account. Check the comment from one of your lead moderators. Then try to tell me you have even the slightest concept of 'justice'. And no, it shouldn't be a moderation to say "Mein Führer", regardless of karma. --- †The Portal to the Infinite† |

And while you're here SB, isn't your website contact kind of um.....redundant? --- |~Informational Overload~| All the cool people call me KoL |

From Lankycheese123 What good is the contest feature when they're never overturned[...] They are. Seldom, but they are. Some people even have 100% of their moderations overturned. /Fan |

Okay, let's go through the moderation history... -Notified for offensive stereotypes against Latinos. -Notified for saying you have no problem with rape. -Notified for a "your mom" comment. -Warned for trolling the moderation staff (which I have to frequently remind people, moderators are users and you cannot troll ANY user). -Warned for saying the majority of users of a board are idiots. -Banned for trolling/offensive. Yes, this site is so incredibly unfair and there's no justice here. All of these moderations were completely uncalled for. It's not like the rules are incredibly easy to follow and you just chose not to do so. That's definitely not the case here. Banning an account with negative karma? Outrageous. --- Um, not to criticize science or anything, but wouldn't it be easier just to call it "the pink one"? |

-Notified for offensive stereotypes against Latinos. And what a moderation it was. Completely forget the fact that not one person in the world would be offended by it, and double it by the fact that it was at a friend. But moving on;\ -Notified for saying you have no problem with rape. I counted on you completely ignoring the context of the statement. Read the Contest forms. Your lead moderator agreed it was ridiculous. -Notified for a "your mom" comment. Oh my. -Warned for trolling the moderation staff (which I have to frequently remind people, moderators are users and you cannot troll ANY user). Eh. -Warned for saying the majority of users of a board are idiots. And statistics show an alarming number of Americans are obese. -Banned for trolling/offensive. You've yet to explain how "Mein Führer" is offensive. And it wasn't just that post, the other posts I said it in were modded, too. So. Why is it offensive, Great One? Yes, this site is so incredibly unfair and there's no justice here. All of these moderations were completely uncalled for. It's not like the rules are incredibly easy to follow and you just chose not to do so. That's definitely not the case here. Banning an account with negative karma? Outrageous. I can manage without your condescension, thank you. |

Completely forget the fact that not one person in the world would be offended by it Have you asked every single person in the world if they are offended by it? This website does not work that way. Just because you don't see a problem with racism doesn't mean that it's not still bad. --- "That's my safe! I call keep-offsies!" "No callsies! Open it!" |

This I know: *Using ethnicity as a mean of a insult is a moddable offense *Trolling and flaming moderators is a moddable offense *Using your mother jokes is a moddable offense *Flaming a group of users is a moddable offense You really should read the GameFAQs Annotated Message Board Terms of Use in question, because you agree to follow that fully when you are using this site.

Have you asked every single person in the world if they are offended by it? Would you say owning a vehicle is racist? I sure wouldn't. Regardless of type, I'm pretty positive that every person in the world who seeks to contribute positively to society wants to own a car. |

I've known people who DON'T want to own cars, for a variety of reasons, so there goes that theory. --- Support bacteria - they're the only culture some people have! Want a good laugh? Spellcheck this: GodBlessAmerica |

Not really, if you lived in the city a car is a hassle. My friend turned down a company car, because it would be too much of a nuisance. --- Official Theif of the PFRSB Yonkers ! |

Insulting Latinos is worse, far worse than insulting car owners... /Fan |
