Banned from the Playstation forum

FAILSAFE 00

I have replied to the moderator(johnny_ultimate) to discuss the forum banning. He has replied and indicated he is upholding his decision.

Firstly I'll start by saying I haven't had any warnings, infraction, or bans in 2 years.

Today I raised a very valid concern about the PlayStation 5. That the device has not been shown to the public yet with 6 weeks to go. I made a humorous post saying I don't even know how to power the console on 6 weeks away from its launch. I even put "lol" to show people it was a joke to say this thing is coming fast and we don't know much about.

I was immediately given an on thread warning for "console wars" stating I would be forum banned if I continued to troll.
I was in shock, for making such a tiny comment I immediately replied to Johnny's post saying to calm down that his reaction is way over the top.

Now here I am. No cards, yellow, red. 1 on thread warning in 2 years and now I am banned.

I'll say that this moderator has a history and tendency to take everything I say, label it has console wars and treat it like it is just that.

I find there that there is a lot of hyperbole in his responses and actions. The PlayStation forum seems to be a place where you cannot raise any valid criticism of PlayStation without being labelled a console warrior and then eventually removed from the forum.

I'd just ask that my posts from today be viewed (is it really trolling???), my record reviewed, cards, infractions etc and I hope a more fair decision is reached.

To jump from no infractions or on thread warnings in 2 years to a forum ban is quite a leap. Questioning a moderator on thread, by all means I'd understand some form of warning, card etc but not a forum ban.

Thank you.

I've been in contact with the failsafe and the mod. Ban has been reduced to 3 months. You can mark this as resolved.
