    MTGS is a joke... check this out

    Storytime!

    A week ago I got nominated for 2013 Best Legacy Strategist on MTG Salvation... then 2 days later I find 3 spam infractions on my account and that I've been suspended. Since I was now suspended I wasn't allowed to vote for myself. But they told me my eligibility for contest was fine. So a week passes by and I find out I actually got more votes than anyone else, so I should win right?

    WRONG.

    Galspanic the site admin does an "investigation" of each person who voted for me, and according to him, he finds a reasons for each person for why their vote shouldn't count. Apparently the guys in my Legacy playgroup who lurk the site aren't allowed to vote for me because they don't post enough.

    "After discussing it, we have opted to disqualify your nomination this year. The purpose of the Forum Awards is for the people on MTGS to vote for their picks. While these 7 guys are members of the site, the location and lack of activity makes it look like you got the local guys to vote for you and only 2 actual Legacy users did. I'm sorry, but that goes very much against the spirit of a Sub-Forum award."

    So congrats to whoever won, sorry I don't mean take anything away from you, but it is necessary for me to vent because I'm no good at keeping this stuff in.

    One of many reasons that no one should go to MTGS.

    I'm using Salvation basically just for the spoilers. Everything else has a good chance of reeking with stupidity over there.

    I forgot that forum existed. Everyone there is really stupid. Glad someone randomly told me about the source so I never got too involved with that community.

    I've gotten approximately 12 Infractions for random things that I people wouldn't even blink about on there...

    Infraction for using the term retarded: "SnT is not necessarily the problem. If WOTC just would quit making retardedly busted permanents every set it would be fine."

    Infraction for spamming because I quoted a post a post and said: "this. so hard"

    I guess I deserved the one where I called a guy a fuck face.

    And my very first one was for calling out a guy for trolling: "Trading at my LGS is like playing Jeopardy... Right. Bad troll is bad. Yet this person is so retarded his trolling is actually working... "


    That place is a joke and the admins are nazis

    Edit: also told someone to go die in a fire. I guess that one deserved it.

    To be honest its not a big deal to me. I was surprised I got nominated, and it was nice that I got votes. But really whether I win or lose isn't the hot topic, but just the extent of how far they would go to engineer the results of the contest.

    Cowards can't block Heros!

    At the end of the day, the lesson has been learned.

    Calling random people retarded, fuckfaces and to DIAF...yeah, sue them for trying to not have a toxic community. I'm not suggesting that The Source needs more moderation, but you don't really sound like a paragon of good behavior to be annoyed at another community's attempt to clean up your act.

    That award situation is fucked up though. Give them the bird and move on. I'm just sad they have the best sources for spoilers.

    I was banned for threatening a ripper. It was an offhand comment that I deleted immediately, but anyone watching the thread would have seen my post. A mod saw my post and I was told that the local police and FBI was alerted to my threat and that they would be contacting me. I appealed and my post that was live for not even 30 seconds was enough to ban me for life. I couldn't help but find the whole process amusing.

    Yeah, to be fair, some of that behavior would get you a warning here too.

    The bottom line is this: the admin staff here doesn't care about cursing or insensitive parlance per se; we care if you're directly insulting or attacking other members. The former is not a hindrance to productive discussion, the latter most certainly is. In short:

    "that's retarded" = okay
    "you're retarded" = not okay

    Both are in poor taste, but hey - you're in good company.

    you're going to love this. For this suspension:

    My first infraction, I don't even know what it is because they have deleted it...
    My second infraction, I got for posting: " Are you done being combative?" to some deuchebags picking on dice_bag in the modern forums
    My 3rd infraction, i got for "Maybe if you actually provided a link to support your claims that would be more persuasive than your toxic responses." to Bocephus, a really rude user.

    Why would someone who doesn't care start a thread about it and have their friends vote for them in the first place?

    MTGS still has the best D&T thread around.
    Best Spoilers also.
    And their market street café, is a very good start for anyone which want to have good insight on trading / pricing.

    Everything else is bad because there are just too much people...

    MTGS is a casual forum. Nothing more.

    I hear ya,

    I picked up a permanent ban for doing absolutely nothing wrong. I bought a playset of Japanese Jace's on MOTL, the guy stopped responding to me and the cards hadn't shown up for nearly three weeks. I opened a complaint with Paypal, then immediately received a PM from the guy telling me to drop the PP dispute. I told him I'd drop it once the cards arrived, he flipped and told the mods who promptly banned me. The cards showed up about a week later, I dropped the dispute and was permanently banned from Salvation because the MOTL ban stuck and they automatically ban anyone banned on MOTL.

    Ridiculous, but the forum is garbage anyway.

    Yeah I know at least one of my responses was towards that idiot in the Modern forums. Honestly I feel no remorse. Most people on there that I respond to and get infracted for it are either really extremely stupid or asshats. I told the guy to go die in a fire because he said he knowingly tells his opponents that they can draw into top 8 with him while knowing they cant actually get in. I dont just randomly flame people for no reason.
