Ban-Age: Unwritten rules of NeoGAF

is there even an email that is checked regularly that I can use to contact GAF admin other than the support address on the site?

I would like to know this as well. The e-mail address supplied here bounces the emails back, so there's absolutely no way to reach anyone.

I remember, during my pre-approved days, I had a couple of issues... One, my ISP is AOL, so my ISP email is xxx@aol.com, and AOL emails are blocked, so I tried to email following these instructions, and I couldn't contact anyone. Had to wait until I got a college email address. Second, I registered twice (there was a sticky telling all non-approved members to re-register) and after 1.5 years, during the recent mass-approval process, both accounts were denied at the same time, and I couldn't explain via email that I had 2 accounts because they asked people to re-register. The accounts were named xxx and xxx2, so they were easy to spot as duplicates, I guess.

I shudder to think of what would happen if I were banned for some misunderstanding or something. I wouldn't be able to explain myself. :(

After 1.5 years of lurking, I learned many of the unwritten rules. I also found that I liked some mods' moderation better. for instance, most know when Dragona's going to ban someone (hence many "Uh-oh, Dragona" posts).

Works fine, I get many emails per day and read 'em all.

Damn, I should get around to asking for a name change, then - if that is accepted practice.

I chose 'Salazar' on a whim, with Slytherin in mind. The totalitarian fascist baggage does me no favours.

The one thing I saw that didn't get answered: How do the mods get chosen? Do they volunteer or are they just picked?

I always thought it was referencing this guy:

Wow, the OP has a lot of stuff added now. I can't think of anything else that's already been mentioned in this thread.

Mods, the only thing I want is to be able to troll Steeler fans (Just Harson really) with impunity.

Then after that, whoever talks crap about Eli and the Giants.

That's all bros!

I should really throw in those sexy beam avatars you were going to ban me over (despite getting admin permission). THE TABLES, THEY HAVE TURNED

I was wondering, will the FAQ be updated now because of this thread or will it still remain the same?

I also hate the "cool story bro" meme. I'm sure it'll wear off like the whole, "I accidentally ____" one. They're annoying to me. :\

I hate "cool story bro", because not only are they shitting in an already shitty thread, they are bumping it to the top of the page.

I'd love to see some protection from Uncharted 2, Killzone 2 and Crysis comparisons in the Halo Reach thread, but I guess it's inevitable.

That should be banned, IMO. It just implies that the poster didn't read the OP, which I believe is a bannable(?) offense now.

in npd sales thread lots of people are getting banned today

which is why I don't really read or post in that thread. I'll have a look but I play games, not sales. It brings out the crazies and loads of huge ass gifs and I don't like to waste my bandwidth on that much idiocy.

Everyone knows NFL threads have their own rules!

Yes, comparing Halo Reach to any potential graphically superior game must be stopped

9. Correct people's grammar/spelling at your own risk. Not only did you probably make a similar typo on the exact same page, but we have many foreign and non-native English speakers here on GAF, so you're probably just making an ass out of yourself.
shit, i do that all the time. i'm not going to stop either. :p

Admiting to using AdBlockPlus on GAF is bannable.
huh... is that so.

Question, is it bannable to post sensitive information regarding a game etc?

Remember the thread, when The Last Guardian was announced, that Amir0x had removed a thread regarding information about this game.
