I appealed one and the mod called me a name in the response.

there's a time where that probably would've gotten a mod dis-barred.  did you point out this behavior to the Admin?

I only mentioned it in my further appeal, which was denied again.  I then decided to just leave that site.  I have posted there a few times in the years since, but I used to be really active on the FF boards.

I go there for their cheats/tips/guides, but their forums are littered with morons who ask questions contained within those cheats, tip and guide menus. Alternatively, they ask questions that haven't been released like "Is such-and-such in the game?"

this could be good ammunition:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/help/entry.html?cat=24

specifically, "Is it legal to make a copy of a game I own?"

their answer is "Yes", with the caveat that the DMCA can make breaking "copyright protection" (sic, they must mean "copy protection": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_protection) on a game illegal.  that caveat doesn't apply to FF6/3, because:

1) it precedes the DMCA by 4 years.
2) it doesn't have copy protection.

since it's legal to have a copy of your game, then any linkage to sites that discuss hacking said copy (but not how to obtain a copy) can't be illegal either.

now, this FAQ is part of the general "GameFAQs Help" rather than the messageboard specific rules.  however, one would think that something qualified as "legal" on one part of the site couldn't be an "illegal activity" on another part.  prohibited, maybe, but deemed "illegal" by the same admin who just said otherwise?  hah.

The suspension lasted 2 days, then when I tried to contest my moderation on the third day, my time ran out so I wasn't able to dispute. No more double secret is over, but I'm a bad boy, supposedly.

I got modded, but it was so worth it. Topic was "What is your favorite vegetable?" and I said "Terri Schiavo"

GameFAQs had some stupid survey thing on their site to win a gift certificate. I did it only for the gift certificate. I just thought I'd share one of my answers.

Filter/downvote is a very, very bad thing, IMO. It has often lead to abuse in the forums I go to.

Well, when I mean filtering, you should be able to login and /ignore total dumbasses at the very least. When you're not logged in, anything goes.

That is a lot different.

how does one copy and paste a URL to start a GameFAQs topic about said URL not working, while somehow managing to avoid actually *visiting* the URL to see that it does work?  seriously, that's a tall order.  we're literally talking about someone who lacks the wrist strength to push the mouse cursor into their address bar before hitting Ctrl+V.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/930370-final-fantasy-vi-advance/59564423

how?  that's my $64,000 question.

and the $32,000 question is how Lenophis can be roped into thinking the page doesn't work, even though there are 2 posts in the topic indicating that it does. :P  if this "assassinCrash" dingbat (who can't pull off visiting Master ZED's site either) told you that monsters were real, would you go through life in fear?  or would one materialize under your bed and kill you?  is his power of suggestion that strong?
