E3 Time, You, Us, Rumors and Bans

Postby KingBroly » 26 May 2012 02:39

Hey guys,

Your favorite* moderator here with a bit of a notice to everyone. As you may not be aware, E3 is rapidly approaching. And that means that rumors are beginning to spread like wildfires, so you need to be careful about what you say and how you say it. Doing so may lead to unfortunate things for you if you're not careful. For example, if you say something like...

Retro is doing Star Fox, and here's how it'll play


without saying it's a rumor or providing a proper source for the rumor, there is a very good chance you'll end up on the receiving end of a warning or ban for trolling/lying to your fellow Go Nintendo community members, and more importantly, me (because we all know I'm the most important member here :angel: ) because it will be perceived that you are in a close inner circle that everyone wants to be apart of, even though you aren't. Saying something along the lines of...

I heard Retro is doing Star Fox, and here's how I hope it'll play...


is a way to get around that, since you're not stating is as a cold, hard fact in addition to providing additional input to a discussion.

We'd like to avoid banning everyone during this E3 season like someone accidentally did a few years ago :wink: . So please, keep this in mind over the next few weeks, okay?

Thanks,
the Pseudo-Management

Ah, good you did this. There's a lot of talk about games I haven't heard of, and most, if not all, that I'm sure are just plain rumors. Especially Starfox/Metroid ones...
Also, sorry If I wasn't suppose to post here. :(

PS: Also, you're my favorite, KB!

If you weren't allowed to post, I would've locked it. I always promote discussions during these Global Announcements.

I sorta wish Cort would make it a news story though. It's kind of important.

So do we report them if they don't say it's a rumor or provide a proper source for the rumor when we ask them?

Or should we leave the comment alone and let you find it for yourself on your own time.

Avoid?¿? Have our Mods gotten soft?! Wheres the cruel and justified banning for those who don't follow the rules gone these days?! I am very disappointed. -_-

You should report it as trolling. It helps us out.

And well, we already banned India this year, as well as another country that I don't know what (I'm assuming China) so don't think we won't ban the US! Although it would significantly hurt business.

I have sort of a hard time believing any kind of rumor around this time of year as 99% of them prove false. I'm glad GoNintendo actually does something about it though.

Heres one I have a feeling may be part of the 1% though.

I heard Nintendo will be doing a Super King Broly game.
Heres how I hope it will play: You assume the role of King Broly in a Varia suit and go around in the internets kicking ass and taking names with a large ban hammer.
Can anyone confirm this?

RUMOR!!!

Since this is coming from Reggie in a Power Suit...I think I'll listen. I don't want my ass kicked or name taken or anything like that.

Let's see... how many have already faced a ban for treachery in e3 rumormongering?

Maybe just a couple. Who will be next???

I should start a thread of shame for people who get banned, suspended, etc. and post it on the blog each week.

You should make a blog post linking to this thread, encouraging people not to rumormonger. It's a sure fire way to get more people to do it!

Don't feel bad everyone, I used to be a Mod too and KingBroly was just as much a dick to us as he is to the rest of the site.

That's not saying I'm afraid of him or anything. I'm still working on that revolution.

Life happened. College was (and still is) taking up a good majority of my time. I still visit GN for news daily and do post occasionally but I wasn't able to devote enough time to being a Moderator so I stepped down. Maybe one day when my life settles down a bit cort will graciously allow me to be a Moderator again.

ah I see, it does seem like a bit of a time consuming task being a moderator (and actually moderating the boards) which is why if I was given an offer I would turn it down and looking at my warning level and the number of times I've been warned for insulting other users it's highly unlikely that I will ever be offered such position anyway

Seems like it shouldn't be an issue as long as people who post rumors, or news, are responsible enough to include hyperlinks to their sources.
