Looks like I missed some drama.

@nessisonett Sorry to hear about your bad experience, buddy. Regardless of whether you decide to come back or not, know that your voice is appreciated around these parts.

Article comment sections can get pretty hairy on NL as well. I know a few forum regulars who just outright avoid them now. Don't forget to make judicious use of the blocking feature. And, you know, if someone has multiple accounts for trolling purposes, that's probably against ToS, so definitely report that.

@nessisonett Just to let you know about this, the user you're referring to was actually a new user. I looked on the backend last night and it was an account not associated with another profile. They were rightfully banned immediately, though.

I always appreciate your posts nessisonett, and very regularly agree with what you have to say. You're a credit to this community, and I hope you do return. Completely understandable why you've decided to take a break, though. I hope you come back feeling better!

@nessisonett
Sorry that the ****ers made you feel like you need some time away and hope you're not gone too long (who else will prop up the fantasy league table! & provide us with run downs of which LEGO games are easy plats) but totally understand how the negatives of the internet can be a bit much and make you feel the need to step back.

I always found the comments sections to be much more angry, aggressive and more representative of general internet nastiness than the forums on here, so I tend to ignore them and leave em to argue amongst themselves.

Know you are part of what makes the forums what they are we'll still be here if and when you return.

The Mod deleted the off topic comments and banned the user for posting them, I am confused on what more the mod could do.

As someone who can speak from experience that's all a mod can do.

@QualityGeezer Moderation on Push Square is handled by full-time staff. You can't sign up to be one as a standard user.

@Tasuki Not much more you can expect them to do tbh. They did what was required and that was that.

Right. I just don't understand when people get upset and jump all over a mod because because they didn't do more. Banning them from the site is the ultimate punishment. Yeah they can point out rules but pretty sure they do that when they ban them and besides what good is pointing out the rules once they are banned.

@Kidfried I understand what you are saying but speaking as a former Mod, we are unable to go into context at times as to why someone is banned, that's between the person and the Mod. The fact that the person is banned is proof enough that the Mod has the person's back. I know that when I was a mod I would contact the user and tell them why they were banned but like I said a mod has to do it privately.

I'm taking a break. I'm getting wound up by certain attitudes and opinions on the site again. See you all in the New Year.

@LN78 Breaks are always good. Sometimes you just need to get away from it all. We’ll (probably) still be here when you feel up to it.

@RogerRoger Sure enough. Although under the new name of AgentCooper, I’d had a pleasant interchange recently with them. I think they did say they were spending most of their time in the Xbox ecosystem lately, so perhaps that’s why. Such a nice user and always fun to talk with. I likewise hope all is well.

@Th3solution @RogerRoger I spoke with him over the weekend guys and I think he’s just got a lot going on what with his home life etc. He did mention that he has found a lot of negativity online of late but made a point of saying that it wasn’t anything from Push Square.

You’re both right though, real nice fella fair play… always enjoyed my chats with him and I wish him well. Hopefully we may see him back around the place one day.

I also noticed that @velio84 has left us recently, another great community member… hopefully everything is well them them also.

@KAIRU yeah, I haven’t seen them around for a while. I’m pretty sure I have them on my friends list on PSN but it’s under a different name than @velio84 (& I can’t remember what exactly).

@colonelkilgore It's chilliesandbeer on psn. But he has not been online for 23 days.

Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
