I'm tired of feeling like a jerk today. So here is a giveaway.

Appreciate the giveaway, bud. I'm not entering, since I'm not really interested in the game. But I appreciate the offer, and think it is a mighty fine display on your end. =)

You're not a jerk. Everyone here has their heart in the right place, just differing opinions.

I'm going to say the same thing that I posted in the deleted thread.
I find it rather weird that moderator was so harsh and I'd say quite offensive towards you. You simply asked a question and while I do not agree with you (that user broke the rules, so a (at least a temporary) ban was fair) I don't see a reason for such behavior.

Anyway, thank you for this giveaway, I'm sure someone will be happy to try this game :)

In4 this thread gets deleted as well.

I really appreciate what you are doing!

Thank you A TON for giving this away.

I still have to play the Alpha Protocol I got from you properly, it's a huge game. When I get the time I'll do a super playthrough.

However this game caught my attention a while back and it really seems interesting, but I'm short at the moment, so thank you a lot for giving it out.

So now you're trying to buy love? :)

Fine, for those of you who don't wanna figure out the riddle..

Nothing wrong with you, pal. I'd even say that the posts towards you were quite harsh. But let's forget the little conflict and move on!

Well I don't think you were being a jerk or anything, but thanks for the giveaway :)

I agree with everything you said in that thread. Certain people, who I will not name (Red Herring), should hold their breath and count to 10 before they start insulting people in rage.

(Ah, everyone is really really friendly and relaxed. I guess that must be Christmas coming or something.)

Thanks. And don't feel bad over a dumb argument on the internet

You're a jerk.

enters giveaway

I don't really understood the context of that thread, but you seem like a decent guy and I appreciate the giveaway :)

I can definitely understand why mods would get frustrated eventually. There are rules, if you break them then you get banned. Not reading the rules isn't a good enough reason to be protected. If you don't know the speed limit on a particular road, you will still likely get a ticket for going 20 over it.

Why thanks good sir

After reading the screencap of your thread I can say you're not an asshole, the other guy on the other hand... But yeah while Cult is right about differing opinions the way that guy expressed his makes him an asshole.

(Also I guess it's worth noting that depending on the situation I feel differing opinions can both be valid or only one being valid and one invalid, this is one of dual-validity to me)

But anyhow thanks for the giveaway!

Thanks!

While I love Zelda-esk games, I find the visuals in this game creepy, and thus I will not partake. Thank you for making the giveaway though, hopefully whoever wins it will enjoy it. :)

Tricks and hoes.

It seems here is a big missunderstood in the room ?

and thanks for the Giveaway :3

Don't feel like a jerk, because you are clearly not. That mod clearly can't handle being a mod or was having a bad day, hopefully the last.

If you are a mod, you set the rules, you choose how they should be upheld and if you get constructive criticism, you listen. If you get threats and childish behavior, your simple ignore/ban them. If you can't handle being a mod because of the "stress"/conflicts it involves, then don't be a mod, find somebody who can handle it.

You can't expect to run/mod a site like this and don't be involved in conflicts. Again if you can't handle it, find somebody who can.

Cheers :)

This isn't the first time that someone expressing their opinion has been 'bullied' (I do mean to use that term loosely) and despite being quite fond of our mods - yes, even Cult ;) - I hate to say that I have witnessed this same 'bullying' by mods. Now to elaborate on my use of the word 'bullying', users can be very opinionated and they are entitled to their opinion just as much as 'the antagoniser', but some people do get carried away. As for the mods, they are usually very friendly and I know they have the sites best interests at heart, but I have witnessed some very heavy handed tactics by mods.

So, users should be participating in the forums and at least reading the rules in them, but with no terms and conditions on signing up/creating a giveaway it is actually the fault of the site, not the user, if rules written in the forum are broken.

Looking at this from both sides I agree that the mods have to set examples if rules are flouted, but before I believe they have a justifiable right to do so I think the rules need writing into the application process or the create a giveaway process - if they have been added since I joined, I wasn't aware of this.

And as a disclaimer, I truly hate seeing the Humble Bundles in the list of giveaways whilst the Bundles are still live, I understand some people cannot buy them... ask a friend... I understand you can pay a measly amount and get a load of points for it... but you're taking away from charities and the developers in doing so.
