Hey guys, longtime MTG player here. I was a member of the MTGS forums for over four years and recently got permabanned there by the admin, Galspanic. I had an issue with another staff member on the site abusing his powers so I PMed Galspanic asking if I could call him and speak to him personally about the problem. Galspanic's cell phone # was listed on his profile.
Galspanic then perma banned me for "threatening staff." He claimed that asking to call him was a "physical threat" and banned me without hesitation.
That place is a joke. Hoping that the community here is better.
Which is worse, MTGS or the MagicTCG subreddit?
That whole situation sounds volatile. Very volatile.
As for The Source, refrain from anything Lich-related and I'm sure you're good to go.
How awful. Don't worry, if you ever find yourself in need of urgent help with the moderation on this site, feel free to give a call at +44 20 7289 8141.
YOU'RE GIVING ME A TIME MACHINE IN ORDER TO TREAT MY SLEEP DISORDER.
I wish I had a dollar for every person who gets banned from MTGSal and seeks refuge here. I would have a few bucks. You know...for a burger or something. But yeah. It's good not to get too emotionally invested in an account there. They have a lot of mods and some are bound to be the wrong sort of personality to have power over their peers like that.
"Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."
"Politicians are like diapers. They should be changed often and for the same reason."
"Governing is too important to be left to people as silly as politicians."
"Politicians were mostly people who'd had too little morals and ethics to stay lawyers."

Galspanic is a pathetic human being who blames having children for the lack of success in his life, and validates his existence by bullying others on an online forum. The staff culture there is to bully around to get their way.
If its known you play legacy you become a marked target because their modern admins have such inferiority complex that they assume you're going to hate on modern. The legacy portion of that site is dead because they've bullied the Legacy guys out.
You're right MTGS is joke.
After I won the most votes for best legacy contributor, they took me off the ballet so their own staff member sparki could win.
You damn right. The place is a joke.
MTGS is a complete joke. Welcome to The Source, I'm sure you'll have a better time here.

"Of course you should fight fire with fire. You should fight everything with fire."
"You can build a perfect machine out of imperfect parts."
There are moderators on MTGS who genuinely try to do a good job.
Then there are those who act like the awkward 5th grader who got the job of hall monitor because no one else wanted it, but nonetheless feels entitled to go on a power trip over an perceived infraction.
The new member-converted-mods here have the tendency to make Salvation like heavy handed moderation based on their personal views but I'd say the core mods are great, you shouldn't have any problems.

Vintage: Drains
Any time you see a forum saturated with anime character avatars and gigantic graphics-based signatures, you're gonna have a bad time.
I think the biggest thing is the deep seeded emotional understanding that the right play is the right play regardless of outcomes. The ability to make a decision 5 straight times, lose 5 times because of it, and still make it the 6th time if it's the right play. - Jon Finkel
"Notions of chance and fate are the preoccupation of men engaged in rash undertakings."
Every time one of these "bash MTGS" threads pops up I get a major case of schadenfreude. That site is trash.
"We are goblinkind, heirs to the mountain empires of chieftains past. Rest is death to us, and arson is our call to war."
Modern mods like to edit others' non-inflammatory posts to insert their own opinions, if the original post reveals an unsavory truth about the Modern format. The Legacy mods seem like good people.
I read the title as "MTG situation is a joke" and hoped for a secondary "Bitching about prices" thread. Alas, it's about MTGS, site that I don't visit, because its mods are... unique.
