(banned overnight it seems), you were not banned for that post and I'm not sure why you would misrepresent the case in this way. So in order to clarify
You were reply banned from the nextGen thread for console warring. You pleaded to be let back in (like a grounded child) and you'd behave like an adult. You didn't. Subsequent to this, you earned an additional two warnings for console warring. In addition to this, you also had three reply bans for the same behaviour and were advised to tone it back. Eventually you were given a short ban because despite all intentions you still waded into threads with antagonistic low effort troll posts like these:
That's not my 11? Thought just 8-9. It's not mentioned, because Sony will only use raw, so the SSD will go directly to GPU/CPU/Ram with only needed assets within less than a second, so frees the GPU/CPU/Ram from unnecessary work and boost for better efficiency. Meaning they can end up pretty...

We now have preliminary specifications of both the Microsoft Xbox Series X (XSX) and Sony Playstation 5 and it's time to do a quick analysis of their graphics capabilities. Before we begin, a primer: this article is based only on the information released by both companies and their execution and...

Despite what you might like to post and portray, you were not banned because we thought you were a revolutionary on the cusp of leading a rebellion over the hills of Neogaf. It would be fair to say any army you assembled would only advance to get out of earshot of your diatribe. It's because you were not learning or adapting. And the tired reverse psychology of "I'm only speaking my mind and I'm being punished unfairly" may work on ninth graders but here at Neogaf we are grown ups sir.

as you are still an active poster we really don't want to go through the above with you. To answer your query there will be inconsistencies because we don't make knee jerk reactions. So a mod may give you a reply ban and still see 4/5 subsequent posts that are still in the same vain. This doesn't mean we're 'ignoring them' but we're not waiting there ready to pounce with a 'gotcha!' just to take you out. We understand there's a little bit of a journey to go on, but there reaches a point where a nudge has to become a shove. There will be a grace period where adjustment will need to take place and we may let those 4/5 posts 'slide'. You forget that we see and handle all reports. So some statistics for you personally. Just on the last two pages of reports, there are sixteen logged against posts you've made. In this period you've had 3 warnings, 2 reply bans and no site bans with the majority rejected. I think the team have been more than fair with you.
Especially when in two of the most recent cases, you derailed an entire thread with a personal feud and in another, your blind rage made you miss two obvious joke and you went straight into personal insult mode. In order to be fair, mods (as explained before) often read through the last 3/4 pages of the thread to check for baiting, disingenuous reporting etc. There is also a limit in the reply ban notification of 100 characters so the messages may appear curt and biting to get the point across. These messages will usually be reflective of the quality and tediousness of the user in question. Especially when extending the benefit of the doubt is repaid in such poor behaviour.
As you've linked the reply an action, we will clarify as well
1. [Can't link] Was deleted because in a post about XsX you decided to make your second post about denigrating another console (i.e. console warring)
2. [
Link] This wasn't you being fair or middle of the road, it was because the MS thread didn't get as much traction with insults to other users. Again, some weird pro Microsoft protection thing (derailing into console wars). If your intentions were indeed as virtuous as you proclam, where is your post congratulating Sony for their actions? Is it lost amongst the attempts to.........defend an alterntive brand?
All in all Shin, your problem is one of conduct and anger not of content. But it becomes a problem when those things take over your posts. You also have a problem with perception. Some threads will have light hearted banter in. That was explained in the notification you got I believe. Maybe you should reflect on people asking you to chill out. We don't treat you like you're stupid so we'd suggest a bit more honesty when evaluating your own contribution. We are being more stern and less forgiving with these type of posts. If you're a poster who regularly makes these types of posts, you may feel the sting more than others.
Anything further just move to the
meta please.
