    That being said, AoC ads amounted to a very small % of revenues in recent months.  We acccept advertising from almost every major MMO publisher out there (CCP, FunCom, NCsoft, Mythic, SOE, IGG, Aeria Games, and countless others) - if we took "bribe money" from these companies you wouldn't be able to say anything bad about any game on MMORPG.com - and I think anyone that knows these forums knows that is far from the case - we are pretty darn liberal around here with what we allow...as long as you a) back up your bashes about a game with a reason b) don't de-rail someone elses topic just to spout anger and hate and most importantly c) refrain from isulting others

     So if you say "Age of Conan is a terrible game because x, y and z" that is ok with us.  However if you say "man, userBob you are an idiot and AoC sucks because x, y and z" you will get banned and your post deleted for calling userBob an idiot.  Unfortunately when the later scenario happens users jump to the "you are in company xxx's pocket!" conspiracy conclusion instead of the truth, which is you broke our rules...plain and simple.

    The reason users brew up conspiracies like this is quite simple - because a company like FunCom or MMORPG.com or whoever we are being accused of scheming with each week is not capable of proving otherwise.  How could we prove we did *not* have a secret meeting with forum mods or how could we prove we did *not*  take a bribe for $10,000.  Evidence does not exist for non-events...it is the backbone of conspiracy theories everywhere...not just at MMORPG.com.  What I can tell you is that in order for us to scheme like this most of this team would have to be "in on it" - and many of these people come and go in weeks, months or years.  In the 5+ years we have been running this website I think at least one of these dozens of helpers would have ratted out our evil ways to someone.

    I'm sure for the hard core tin foil hat folks this message will fall on deaf ears, but I take a lot of pride in this website and the team of great people that make it all possible, and feel compelled to state the above as I see it here all the time.

     

    Are they so why i got banned twice here, when i was just telling some truth about AOC?

    
     

    There is an appeals process here for bans.  If you feel you have been wrongly banned based on the explaination given to you in the ban email and based on our rules (yes, please read all of our rules before appealing) then contact community@mmorpg.com - if you don't feel this resulted in a fair explanation or resolution then by all means contact me at admin@mmorpg.com and I will review your appeal.  I can tell you though that 95%+ of the time it ends up being that you broke a written rule when posting and your ban/post was for attacking a person or doing something else extreme, and not bashing a game.  I mean just look around - how many posts are on our forums that are negative about games?  Like, most of them? LOL

    And if you were banned twice, that is more than likely because you are not following the rules and taking anger out on other members, not just AoC.  I don't care if you hate and bash AoC, honestly I really, really don't.  Bash one of my community members and I want you banned for it.  Games don't have feelings or know when you talk bad about them, people do.

     

    my attack to that person was calling him fanboi, if you check my post history its there. so you guys better ban evryone that use fanboi word.
