Revoked Community Privileges Notice

June 23, 2010 11:55AM PDT

By Jody Robinson, Community Manager

Technical problem might not cause GameSpot members to be suspended or banned.

Over the past three weeks, GameSpot members have been experiencing revoked permissions, but their moderation history does not display any suspension or ban marks. All of these users have access to send private messages to other GameSpot members, which could not happen if they were moderated with a suspension or ban.

While staff members continue efforts to resolve this problem, please contact customer support immediately if you are encountering this technical problem. When you send your inquiry, be sure to use the moderation dropdown and include your GameSpot username to expedite your request.

Also, be sure you grab your reference number to confirm that you did submit your inquiry to us. The submission form continues to suggest possible answers, so you will want to keep clicking the submit button until you get the reference number. Thanks for your continued patience during this time.

First the 0 Inbox glitch, and now this.

Definitely not a fun glitch, and well I'm looking forward to the CR, but well Sunday, Monday -- it's all the same :)

Hey everyone who reads the comments! I wont have time today to finish the community report. So much aftermath E3 stuff to catch up on, so I am hoping to get the report up some time this weekend, or Monday at the latest. Sorry for the delays, but it's good to keep this notice up here anyways. :)

Thanks, Jody.:) I wonder if a fallback to a more stable software version would be a possible solution?
