Okay. Yeah, I'd do the same. Let me rephrase it. Would you say 'fuck it', even though you knew that your job was safe - you'd just have to work in a different location? Im still going with yes. Cos fireworks.

They are being just total dicks about it, period. Massive count-o-saurus. I swear when Andromeda releases (IF it finally releases) I'm going to ask all innocent on their twitter/FB if there's a "official forum" in which I can discuss this or that, just as a jackass move. I so want to see the moment this end up backfiring for them, not because I enjoy seeing them suffering or anything; but because they deserve it. Valve was my favorite company. Half-Life meant to me so much, it was the game that changed me in a way. Was my favorite franchise (I'll admit it, it still is no matter how much it hurts saying that). When they dropped the towel with the franchise (well, they dropped the towel with the whole "making games" thing) I felt pretty bad, when I finally realized the hope was pointless it kinda sucked big time. I hoped that BioWare will fill that space in my heart. Guess what, they didn't and they lost all the respect I had for them as a company on the process. As little as that means for them. I suggest Obsidian Entertainment for all of your RPG needs. Their games may be buggy, but they have to try hard and earn their way. They tend to make some of the most RPG-Y and story heavy games. Isometric style might not be your thing, but it's worth a shot if you haven't tried it yet. Actually I like the genre, yes. InXile is one of the devs I like, Wasteland 2 is the game that introduced me into turn-based games. I had so much fun with that game. I heard good things about Pillars of Eternity from Obsidiam too.

They'll never catch me there! You can't give warning points or a ban if I haven't posted in several years! Mwahahaha! I am unbannable there! (I will literally fall down laughing if a mod here gave me a warning point on behalf of Bioware's trolling)

Discussing moderation? Crutch Cricket and Draining are dicks, they're literal penises sitting at a keyboard You know how often I had to clean up those unnamed mods' errors/stupidity? A couple of major things per week. Locking Drinkquisition, for example. You don't just lock a 4,000 page thread. You can clean it up, but unless it's a horrible mess you don't touch that. That's a major part of the community at that point and no moderator should touch it. Then the countless times I had to remove warning points and bans because their reasoning was just so petty. I'm really kinda glad the forum is gone, because it turned into a moderation nightmare over the past few years and this community doesn't deserve that. Fuck. I thought they were just lazy fucks rarely responding to reports, didn't know they actual tried to fuck things up. I'd give you a beer for tolerating their shit buuuut distance is funny like that. We could be close. If this is what you look like, you may live above me.

You should keep an eye on Tyranny (which is Obsidian's current game): blog.tyrannygame.com/There has been virtually no marketing for it and it is scheduled for an end of year release. It's built on the POE and you work for evil which has already won by the start of the game, you get to serve the evil overlord and deal with the fallout (huehuehue) of his victory (deal with dissent, rebellions, etc, and you can choose your moral compass while doing it). I'd also suggest going back and checking out Alpha Protocol, a lot of people can't get into for various reasons, but its one of my all time favorites. I'll never forget experiencing my first kidney stone while assaulting Marburg's estate; seriously though, Alpha Protocol is one of those rare games where your choices actually matter. I'll probably hit you up in PM later with a list of recommendations, if that is okay. As I feel that I've derailed this thread enough. Sorry everyone! And hail Hydra Obsidian!

Alright it's official. I'm perma banned from Bio BSN. What a massive jerk-tastic bounch of absolute twats. Yeah, I'm actually pissed because it was for no reason at all and I swear on me mum..!
This is more or less what I said the only comment after my 48hs suspension:
"48 hours now. If Mod02 fires another arrow at my hearth I may not make it. If I die guys, it was a pleasure." And then I added some hashtags:
#PrayForMe #Mod02WhyYouDoThis #02DateMeNAO
That was it. And Mod08 decided I was discussing moderation and permabanned me. That guy is an absolute asshole, simple. Or He doesn't want competence for Mod02's love... My money goes to the first option though. I mean, really really really?? that's enough to get you a ban? Jesus effing Christ *sigh*

I'll probably hit you up in PM later with a list of recommendations, if that is okay. As I feel that I've derailed this thread enough. Sorry everyone! And hail Hydra Obsidian! Tyranny. Yes that's the other one I had my eye on. I love the idea that someone is finally making a game in which the player gets to be the bad guy. Really looking forward to that game. Then there's Tides of Numerana being developed by InXile too that I forgot. And I'm currently trying to get into Divinity Original Sin. Not that I dislike the game, all the opposite actually; it's a beautiful and fun game. But it's one of those games in which you have to understand a lot the mechanics and you can fuck up things with char creation real quick. And I'm the type of person that does not like to create a char that "doesn't work" I like synergy. That's why I had to read a few pretty extensive guides to understand mechanics and help me just making the characters work the way I want. Takes tons of time... _____ On topic, I'm still (obviously) pissed as hell for that perma ban... I may consider contacting someone in Bio to accuse Mod08 of abuse of power... If I knew who to contact, that is.

I meant every word I said in my goodbye post.
I am very pissed off at the mods. I try to stay classy. That being said, I was tempted to go out like this:
And fuck you, I'm out!

I've said my piece and I'm done with the BWF. However, if you want to use it after your temp ban is up, feel free. @chrome I'm beginning to run out of words how utterly stupid this move is. Alas, only time will tell if it comes back to bite the company in the ass. In either case, they seem generated a lot of ill-will at least among the BSN'ers and some of the BW wiki moderators. I was enough of a "harcore" fan to be on the site. I'm also a very vocal person. Gee, there's a shock. I have zero issues telling pretty much everyone I know that BW is so timid of criticism that they shut down their official site. Local game stores, friends, family, anyone that would give a crap. As well as telling them that fucking Instagram and Youtube were sited as good sources for feedback. A more "casual" fan is less likely to spread the word if it's bad. They'll just quietly go, "This sucks," and walk away from the IP. Seen it with my husband many times. Sorry for the rant. I guess I'm still in a little bit in shock at how completely draconian things have become there. Talk about temp banning and warning points over the most harmless things.

I don't know if this thread was around when I got my last warning point, but I needed to vent somewhere. I'm still able to snark moderation at BSN because I'm not blunt. Compared to some of the trouble others have had mine is small. My last warning point (I have 3, thanks to BotMod2) was for "spam" because I "bumped my own thread" which is wrong. 1) it wasn't my thread -- literally nothing else I did matters because I didn't actually break that rule. I get referred to the site rules which aren't specific about spam. It basically says "don't spam" and then the mods get to decide what spam is. Bullshit. Never mind that the thread itself was about helping Fexelea's importing and that my post provided actual information on the subject---SPAM! Where's my Godzilla gif? Here it is:

Last post I saw of yours was "Heya" from a return from your last ban. On another note: I think it's funny when they remove "offending" posts but not ones that quoted them. I feel sorry for whatever forum they get for their next job.

I got two warning points for spam and off topic last week.(Thanks Botmod02) In the Concerning our forum thread. I probably won't go back to the BSN official forum , if you can get warning points without going overboard on the official VENT IN HERE , WE'RE NOT LISTENING ANYWAY thread..I'll probably get other warning points because reasons , get angry and that's just not worth it.

I feel pretty ready to move on, which is a shame. The moderation there was already shit-tastic. Now they're just proving it. And I'm apparently good at spamming.

I got 3 warning points before I bailed (which was the day before everything started to go truly tits up over there): one for calling Chris Priestly a dick (worth it); one for calling the ME3 Space Edition a clusterfuck (it was); and one for quoting someone talking about moderation. Under this new regime, seems like saying the first two things would be cause for goons to show up at my door with sledgehammers. What a bunch of wanks. I still feel like they're just bitter about losing their contract and are making work for themselves so that they can send Bioware a massive final bill for services.

I got like 8 warnings before I got banned for a week.
