  Injustice By Gamespot

  Now, I'm not one to usual complain, but with this I feel that I just have to say something. Now you probable looked at the title and wonder what is my beef with gamespot.com and why I would take time to write anything bad about it; well recently my account was suspended by gamespot and I got to say I'm a little pissed.

  I finally reached level 10 on my account so I started to upload some videos. I was unsure about how to categorize some of the videos(ex. Speed run) so I checked the knowledge database for so help and could not find a damn thing to help me out. Now don't go thinking that I just glanced over the stuff; NO!, first I looked through the 94 freakin' topics the database covers then I typed in "uploading videos" and "categorizing videos" and still got nothing. So I went ahead and uploading some of the videos as "speed runs" because they short videos, all under a minute, because I figured "speed runs must mean that they have to be quick videos". The uploads went through ok and I got myself two new emblems so I'm feeling pretty good. This is where things go wrong. Over the next few days, my profile gets more and more views, I mean a lot of views, I didn't think anything of it at the time.

  One day, I'm on gamespot and I get bored, minimized it, and went to another site. About 30 minutes later, I get back on gamespot and found that I had 8 new messages. I'm thinking "damn that's a lot of messages, for me at least". I go to check the messages and all but 1 say "TOS violation", the last one told me that my forum privileges have been suspended. Apparently, I was being moderated for video blog and speed run emblem exploit, hell I didn't ever know that would Speed Runner emblem until it showed on my list. And because of this, I couldn't post any comments, send any PM's, I couldn't even post any blogs. Man, when gamespot wants to stick it to somebody, they really know which areas to poke at.

  All this aside, I do like gamespot; as a gamer, this is one of the best sites to get the info I need on games; but it does have a mean side to it. I'm not saying I'm really mad, at least I know their doing their job, but I would for that database to be updated with information on the video categories. Thanks to everybody who took the time to sit down and read this, and if you're a gamespot.com employee reading this and you got a little pissed by reading this, I don't care, delete me!, I ain't ever scared....(I'm just kidding. I don't want to come on gamespot the day after I post this and find that I've been banned altogether. That would really be messed up.)

  P.S. By the time you all read this, it will have been 5 days since all this has happened.
