A question about commenting/trolling
9 years ago
So, has anyone else gotten themselves banned from someplace online for a post they made... but you still feel kinda good about it?
I wrote a bit of a scathing comment on a fallout4 mod author's mod, and they deleted the post and banned me from all their files in response... and I'm not really sorry.
The funny part is, I'm actually using the mod. :x
[edit]
To be clear, this mod author is not without talent. Far from it, in fact. They just made a very irritating distribution choice.
They had previously made several polished and highly praised mods that added some nice building things for settlements, like solar panel, working bridges, and repairing the walls of a fort you can take over. Lots of nice stuff. BUT, they then blocked access to the individual mods, and released it all as one jumbled mess, locked behind a quest and character that are blatant and shameful borderlands knock-offs, as well as creating giant, colorful floating damage numbers in combat, and dead enemies explode in a pop of confetti and gore, leaving behind glowing loots polygons from Destiny. While the combat changes can be toggled off after a time, the fact that they all come pre-enabled is redicculously irritating.
They also had a permanent sticky note above the comments section that indicated that comments critical of the mod's content, author, or asking for pieces separated out would result in a lifetime ban from all of the author's mods because, as they put it, "I'm not your b****, but I'll make you mine!"
so, my comment, as close as I can remember (because it was deleted and I no longer have access to that page anyway), went like this:

Ummm... Your stated goal was to 'create a mod better than any official DLC', but what you've actually done is taken good things that every one wants (solar panels, building supports, Castle repair, etc) and locked them behind a wall of obnoxious nonsense that no one would want on its' own. So... you've basically made something that's exactly [i]like[i] the official DLC.
Is GLaDOS around? I could use her slow-clap function.
—————————
And then I was banned. The End.

How are you using the mod?
I don't think I like the mod that banned you.
Someone who can't take critique, shouldn't be online XD
*scritches your ears*
On your part, I did get banned before for calling Dragoneer a jackass. lol.
