GameFAQs

I joined gamefaqs back in 2008 and the experience outside of gaming has gotten worse over time.

Long story short if you venture onto a message board and do not share common views with the other board members you will be ignored, flamed, moderated, etc. to kingdom come. The community is seemingly made up of users who were bullied in school and found a place where they can comfortably dish out punishment to others. The site moderators are especially prone to swift punishment towards any political opinion that doesn't go along with what they believe.

Fandom would be better off killing the social boards and sticking strictly to gaming at this point.

This place is a cesspool filled with moderators that create alternate accounts and troll users that don't like the same games they like or have the same political views as them. Most of the moderators have admitted that they were bullied in HS and are 40+ years old still living in their parent's basements. I've seen the mods ban posters for dumb reasons that didn't even violate any rules simply because those posters bested them in arguments. Avoid this cesspool at all costs. Error1355 is the biggest problem of them all. The guy has been moderating that forum for 20+ years and I don't think he's left his parents basement for 20 years either. I rate them a 0 out of 5 starts if it was possible.

No joke. The site is infested with monsters who literally dare to attack users just for stating even the most harmless opinions on anything without proper context as to why they disagree or worse enough, just complain about their opinions. When I attempted to bring hostile messages like those to the site staff's attention three times, they suspended my account. After I attempted to heal from a nap, I felt immobilized all of the sudden near my staircase and I almost could had fallen off and died.

Avoid the message boards at your peril. They are literally infested with trolls. Don't report them either, the "moderators" will punish you for that. They don't like "innocent" comments like abuse, harrassment and insults to be reported.

The FAQ part is OK though.

This is a site masquerading as a gaming website in order to further there jaded agenda. They claim to be a gaming community, and while there are gaming topics, they are bombarded with inserted socialist agenda. Anyone opposing their agenda, they censor and ban.
Game websites should NOT have this kind of content. Children visit them. When I reached out for an explanation, I was banned rather then answered.
Absolutely horrid, cesspool of a website.

Site is great when it comes to knowing something helpful for a game that you're playing. When I search for an FAQ or a game guide, I rarely see a game that has no game guide entries or anything. Unless it's something for a very old, obscure game, they have guides for most games.

However, the boards can be a bit scary at sometimes. There are some know-it-all elitists that are arrogant, mostly taking jabs at new users who "do not know how to search" like it's the next big thing. The mods are mostly siding with them. And you could either get modded for something very ridiculous and the reason for the moderation will be mostly "disruptive". That's actually a shame, since the boards are fun sometimes. I see some users get modded for no reason. Luckily, I haven't got modded yet. If you want to post on the boards, just don't post often and don't get too much hyped.

This site main admin Allen Tyner has sexually assaulted dozens of kids inculding sone if the users he's met on the site their parent company cnet/cbs has turned a blind eye to this sexual predator even tho e has groomed many teens to become mods for nude pics and services. Cbs and cnet continue to ignore the perversions of this pedo run site. Despite allegations.

This is a good place to find a great deal of walkthroughs, reviews, FAQs and help on the games you are playing. Contrary to popular belief, the forums are actually pretty tame and civil compared to most other forums, and should be safe enough for a 13-year old to frequent, due to the generally tight moderation system.

My only gripe with GameFAQs is that the moderation system is way too strict at times, and the rules given are often way too oversimplified. This can lead to you being modded with you not knowing what you did wrong, even if you have read the terms. However, there is now an Ask The Mods section where you can clarify things with them. Moderators may reject your works with no reason given.

Otherwise, this is one of my favourite sites, and I have been using it since I was a kid.

Keep your kids away from this site it us run by pedophiles and sexual deviants.

I came here to get walkthroughs in case if I'm stuck in a level, but the message boards are terrible. The moderators are too strict for a "private business" even though it's not. If you have free speech, these guys from San Francisco (C|net is an CBS-owned corporation) won't let you have it there; not even with the post you create and they think it's offensive. They believe in some left-wing fascism or something. Now trolls are all over the place like they think it's a fun place over there. Under-21ers here and there, you know? Either way, right now I believe YouTube is the only way to get walkthroughs. God forbid, I have insulted their moderators and called them East Coast BSers. I'll leave the mods in their hands and have myself stay away from this crap.

This site is literally run by pedophiles that like molesting kids the admin on the site Allen Tyner has been accused multiple times of sexting underage users, molesting their kids, asking for nudes in exchange for getting their account unbanned one of the users committed suicide shortly after having a relationship with Allen Tyner

Raptors a lot of the same is about him. This site is run by pedophiles keep your kid off it.

Gamesfaqs censors and does not allow free speech. They filter and manipulate traffic and ads to create profits.
