GirlsAskGuys staff keeps harassing and censoring me, so now I'm here instead

I actually signed up for this website a few months ago when the GaG staff were harassing me by taking down my questions and falsely accusing me of trolling and spamming, but now they're doing it again and don't seem to be stopping so now I'm here. I've actually been banned from many websites before, although if I'm gonna be honest, those were when I was an immature teenager (and also moderators of gaming forums tend to be toxic). IGN, GameSpot, GiantBomb, Escapist, Quora, and Acer (tech support) where I've been permabanned.

While I have received temporary site-wide bans or permanent sub-site bans across Twitter, GameFAQS, Reddit, LinkedIn, and Steam (forums). I used to have accounts for GameFAQS, StackExchange, and Yahoo Answers, but I've either closed them or forgot the login. Now some of you are probably wondering that given my track record, you might worry if I might be a nuisance and then end up getting banned here eventually. Well the answer depends on community guidelines, how the moderators are, and also what values the website admins have.

As long as this platform is more like Facebook where people of all demographics can discuss almost whatever they want, rather than an echo chamber like Quora where you can get in trouble for not being nice enough, then we're good. I won't go out of my way to harass anybody, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna allow myself to be harassed so keep that in mind and we'll all get along. I used to often engage in flame wars with trolls back in the day, but the last few years I've learned to just do these 3 things: block, report, ignore.

I was on Girls Ask Guys I was Master Level. They go on points system. The more post you made the more points you earn. The more replies you made. It also worked in reversed to say you they found your content not up to their standards and removed your post. Then you lost points.

I was on GAG a few years. You will find many of my GAG friends here like LegalBoxer, Guardian, Paris13, Likes2Drive, Lauieluvsit and countless more

GAG actually kicked me off their website and banned me. I still go there. I just use my other account to say to my friends
None of those people ring any bells for me

I took them to court for violation of my first amendment right
@HumanEarth uh but GaG isn't funded, affiliated, nor owned by the government; they're also not a publisher nor a broadcaster

Those would be the only incidents where you can successfully sue them for infringing on free speech

It was meant for Angie to see
@HumanEarth you already wrote it in this thread, and you can directly message Angie lol

Also I don't think anyone besides me would check comments from a 10 month old thread

Worry about the algorithm not the moderators or admin. Also individual posts are sometimes moderated by the posters.

Some day there might be real group moderators. Yet for now the group creators can do nothing.
@DeWayfarer oh so this is like Parler or Threads where people can self moderate? GaG kind of let me do that

I don't really care about algorithms not boosting my content; I just want a place to write about my experiences and engage in discussions without being censored heavily

Do you remember me, GirlsAskGuys banned me in June and I used to be a Moderator there years ago

I was there under the same screen name. I use my wife account on there. Her name is Mother Earth
@HumanEarth wait a platform actually banning their moderators? That's almost unheard of across the internet lmao

I was there from 2012 - 2023

They pulled the same shit with me
Gag staff... 😂They didn't think that through when they chose the name.
If it helps, you can flip the bird here.🖕😆
@UnderLockDown Yeah when abbreviated it becomes gag. They deleted my questions where I was venting about something, and then why the staff are harassing/censoring me along with questions asking about alternative platforms to GirlsAskGuys. I can understand if they deleted my questions because I'm targetting other users or engaging in actual spam, but those questions aren't trolling or spamming smh.

Isn't it called Sadie Hopkins Day?
Great. Now these Admins have to deal with you.
@MsSwan the moderation for this website is pretty much non-existant
@uikakarotuevegeta I wouldn't be so sure about that.
Yahoo Answers is dead now anyway...
@HootyTheNightOwl it shut down i think in 2021, but Yahoo cut off access to my account a few years before that. Said I had to create a YahooMail account or something, which I refused
Good... GaG is pathetic
@Royricky09 and why is that
@uikakarotuevegeta worst app
No maintenance of the site or app
Same old topics
Filled with trolls
And many more.....
@Royricky09 yeah I stopped using the app a few months back and only use the website

Welcome to SW. Look around, there's certainly no preponderance of niceness.
@uncalled4 yeah Quora tries to shove niceness down people's throats
GaG...lol
Fitting

Just remember, we are a bunch of idiots mascaraing as adults and sensible people.
you can totally trust us.
@nonsensiclesnail well I'm already liking the UI of this platform where it's not entirely flat/minimalistic. I prefer the more neumorphic and skeumorphic design styles because it's more detailed and/or realistic. Now sure, some websites and apps should go for flat or minimalist like for an online bank or IDE, but social media, QA/discussion boards, video games, and streaming sites should not.
@uikakarotuevegeta I keep my expectations low when it comes to ‘free’ social media. Are you a UI developer?
This isn’t a bad place but it is much quieter than in the past.
@nonsensiclesnail nah I'm self employed in tech, specifically in AI, but i do have a fundamental understanding of full stack development

If you have been banned by all of those places it really just sounds like you are the problem.

@Unhinged sorry but I had a flashback and just had to laugh at this. I’ve seen a DI do this to a new recruit in boot camp . 😂
