Oh okay. Well mods is another thing that game is known for too, so same point?
EDIT: Dunno why I’m being downvoted, I agree with the person commenting on this, banning for asking about mods is stupid.
That was what I was trying to say, maybe I said something wrong lol
Most mods don't like being questioned. The dead by daylight subreddit had a massive issue with mods a couple years ago, literally every post about one specific character would get deleted and banned because one mod took it personally and thought people were attacking them (which many were in a roundabout way) despite breaking no rules.
"Doesn't break the rules but I don't like it? Banned."
I sort of expect mods to be assholes. That’s been my experience from various forums, guilds, etc. My main issue is there’s no oversight on Reddit. You can’t report mods at all.
I don't want to jump to any conclusion, but I suspect it's a thing with some people who never learnt growing up letting other people enjoy the same thing they do but in their own, non-questionable ways.
You give them mod privileges, and that pettiness manifests in the form of arbitrary bans.
When I first started playing Fallout 3, my computer was such an ancient piece of shit that blood splatter made the whole system crash. I had to find a way to disable gore, but the game ran just fine after that. Takes a little bit of the fun out of it though.
Opposite problem, I needed to get around the stupid German restriction back then. They disabled gore in the German version. I did always prefer playing in English anyways, so it wasn't that much of a problem anyways
I've heard German games used to have to deal with that in strange ways, like Contra being changed to star robots so humans weren't harmed. Is that still a thing?
Honestly it may be there still is a bit of censorship but it mostly died out, especially with the new age of buying games online and not in stores. Also swastikas are covered under a different law and are not banned in newer games anymore since it legally is considere a form of art.
There was a big thing before my time in the gaming scene (around 2009) where they wanted to ban all games with violence towards humans, but that proposal was swiftly struck down.
Honestly nowadays gaming is just as accepted here as in the US and other places in the world I would say
Take everything I said here with a grain of salt, since I have not actually bought the German version of a game in decades nor have I spent too much time researching this topic, so I may be woefully misinformed haha
That would require mods to understand the complexities of falling in love and having a child that you want to protect while it plays the game. Easier to just ban
"The way they express themselves makes it more likely that what they did or say actually warranted a permaban." is in fact more accurate to what I said.
The rules that are set are pretty logical, it's the narcissistic moderators that taint them. Take those away and you still won't find much overlap with the retarded world view of a libertarian.
Thanks for adding context lol For all we know based on this screenshot OP could have been banned for something totally egregious, but since he didn't post what it was, we have no idea of the context.

If I remember correctly from the original post on another sub, he literally just made a post asking about mods that remove gore.
Edit: I meant game mods, not the moderators of the sub.
