Ok I found out why THQ suspended my account on the VBB.
I flamed a troll and made a comment to the lines of "go to your mother's room until she's done raping you."
This was grounds for immediate suspension of my account because it breaks ESRB/Coppa Laws - ie it's politically and morally incorrect.
Well who the hell made ESRB/Coppa in the intellect/verbal police. I can understand rating games, but this goes a little far.
I get immedately suspended when all the trolls get away with trolling because that's not covered under ESRB/Coppa. [edit]Furthermore I've seen far worse comments that got zero response[/edit]
Furthermore who does ESRB and Coppa think they are to decide what is morally and politically correct. Really who do they think they are?
Sounds like the verbal gestapo to me.
-------------
The good news is I may get my account unsuspended.

what bit your keester today

Obviously, THQ worships them. I figured that incest rape thing was a bit too much, but even that should get you a short suspension at the worst.
Not like my goatse.cx links (http://board.eve-online.com/icon_smile_dead.gif) I edited them out but I'm still seriously regretting ever posting them.

you know you shouldn't say stuff like that on the VBB.
-
Nobody deserves to be banned for a comment that god-damn funny. Volition.senseofhumour = null.
-
It's not volition
it's THQ
-
Even more ridiculous. Haven't they got games to release or something? Prats.
-
Hmm, that suggests that THQ is happy for the trolling and stupidity on the VBB to continue. Not good.

That's what FPS communities are all about. Trolling and stupidity. And spamming, mustn't forget spamming.

Kazan, we warned you about this...
THQ & (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/v.gif) can moderate their boards how they like... if they think you posted something which was totally disgusting & wrong (which it was!), they have all right to ban you...
I don't care what problems you have with them, just DONT start thread after thread on this board slagging them off for following their own laws...
Your pushing it Kazan...

EDIT, Aditional:
Kazan, Griffons already said everything I would've said if I'd run across this, only if I'd found it first I'd be emailing you asking you to drop it. Consider yourself lucky and realise that this is not the place for this kind of thing.
