Power Corrupts. It's as simple as that.
There was a day before GZF was corrupt, and guess when that was? Before it was popular. Back when the official forums were up, GzF was a joke. It had no popularity, and people had no incentive to go. And of course back then, to attract people, they had one thing: A small, well-knit community. That's what kept those people there. And it was a nice little fansite.
But once the official forums disappeared, because of the incompetance of MAIET to even run something as simple as a forum, people turned to GzF. And as the userbase increased, the stupidity level increased, and the tight-knit community began to disappear. This is stuff even quoted from the long-term members of GzF.
Now? GzF is corrupt to the core, and more and more people are starting to realize it.
Some of you have heard of this, and some of you haven't. But lately there has been a banning spree going on where people are being banned for absolutely 0 reason. It's causing quite a stir over at GzF, but the mods are doing what they doing best: Censoring.
Much like a controlling government decides what news gets out and what stays under wraps, GzF itself is censoring public opinion. Forum members being banned, and when an explination is asked for, the topic is quickly deleted. Any and all traces of AryaVarwin were deleted.
Why? Still waiting on Citizen to get back on a hardcore reason of WHY I was banned in the first place, which he refuses to do.
MAYBE it was because of the infraction I recieved months ago. Just another example of mod corruption, local poser Anthop was waiting to jump at the chance to infract me. But when it came to AryaVarwin, GzF had a problem: There was no REAL evidence to get rid of her on.
I've been in contact with several GzF mods since I was banned, and they all told me the same thing: AryaVarwin rode the line when it came to the rules. Technically, as the mods have admitted, I never broke any rules. But you put that with the fact that I am a power-player and as a sole player I have more power and influence then ANYONE in the mod staff of GzF, it got a lot of them mad at me. And it showed.
Anyways, back to that Anthop. The first infraction I ever recieved, and it was a pathetic one. I don't have the infraction quote he gave me saved, because after I posted it, he MADE THE INFRACTION PRIVATE AND DELETED THE TOPIC SO NO ONE COULD VIEW IT. Laugh. But these were HIS words:
"Can you at least try to have a discussion without insulting other peoples skill?"
Read that one more time. I'll highlight it for you uncase you missed it.
"Can you at least try to have a discussion without insulting other peoples skill?"
Well there you have it. Infraction, for INSULTING OTHER PEOPLES SKILL. It gets worse though. The post I was modded for was in a discussion regarding top5 players, and contained mostly who I thought was top5 and who wasn't. But this is the line that Anthop modded me for, out of my entire post which he couldn't find a problem with, THIS is the line he disliked:
"Toktok is hardly a mediocre player anymore."
That's just a taste of the corruption and idiocy behind the mod staff. Just read over this again and let it sink in how retarded this guy is. For saying that someones skill is "hardly mediocre", you recieve an infraction. At this rate, what's next GZF?
As GzF has gained influence, many people have turned away from it and are seeking alternatives. There is this site, and then there is another little hole-in-the-wall site which is far less popular then this one. I'm not even linking to it to give that site the fame it desires(I'll give you a hint: It's run by what the hacker community knows as a "script kiddie", or someone who claims to be a hacker but possesses absolutely 0 real knowledge) but shortly after this blog came up, they started a crappy little news section. HMM I WONDER WHY.
Regardless of this, I hope that this has given you all just a little bit of insight as to why GzF is being rivaled as it is. Some people think it's a lost cause, or pointless. But I say, if I don't do something, WHO WILL?
Diamons? Maybe when he hits puberty and gets an IQ over 100.
That is all.

Agreed.
GzF = trash.
Varwin = smartest, brightest, most talented young woman that plays GunZ.
Hold on now. You're claiming that GzF's staff is retarded and corrupted because Cit banned you without giving you a satisfying reason and because Anthop banned you without giving you a satisfying reason?
Look: Gunzfactor is Citizen's site. Period. He made it, and every pretty much every month money comes out of his pocket to pay for it. If Citizen does not want someone on his forums anymore, he doesn't need to give them a satisfying reason. His site, his decision. You're going to have to accept that.
Second: Anthop's infraction on you was ONE INSTANCE from ONE MOD. How you decide that that is total corruption is beyond me. Just bite the bullet and let the infraction go. It's an infraction, for christ's sake.
If you're going to try to prove that GzF's staff is corrupt, try using more than one example from one moderator. And how about letting my comment through this time, so you can "tear it to pieces" for me? Heaven forbid this site should be turned into a Censored "Truth".
Thanks kindly.
I've seen your pic. You're probably the hottest (and only) chick that plays Gunz.
From what I've seen, members constantly flamed you and considered you an overrall nuisance. Instead of banning several members for being in the wrong, he banned you for causing them to be in the wrong. If you'd come back, start over fresh and give up this blog, maybe you can PM Citizen himself and uphold your part of the argument. But... just making a site like this that pretty much screams "GZF SUCKS" over several paragraphs will get you nowhere... I don't agree with you, don't agree with citizen or the mods, but this can be solved far more intelligently than this.

Also, you are damned hot.

Lol, I was banned last night for spamming. I was spamming along 2 other guys and they didn't get banned. It's only a 1 day ban, but it still shows how much shit the mods are full of.
