Before I begin - I'd like to clarify I have nothing against Giant Bomb, it's members or it's mods for that matter. If you're enjoying a solid experience on the site, then power to you and I'm glad you are. Here's sharing my honest experience with Giant Bomb. Here's my account below:

Notice my last post is 5 months ago, well... that's because I was banned. Why? Well - I was an active user, I recall I broke the rules about twice, although I cleared it up with the mods, and they genuinely liked me and I learned from my mistakes. Then my brother made an account - and here's his account below:

And my brother got the go ahead from some mods that he'd be able to make an account, everything worked smoothly and all... then we were both banned. So - back to our initial question -- why? Because some of the mods thought me and my brother were the same person. Here's my brother's Comic Vine account:

That's pretty sad - considering me and my brother were both avid, brand new contributors to Giant Bomb, and we were banned under a wrong assumption, and then I emailed the mods, and one of the mods (I wont specify here) responded to my Email, directing me to yet another email address - to which I emailed several times... and now they wont reply to any of my messages. Again - looking back, it makes me gloomy because I would've liked continuing there and I would've liked to publish stuff on Metal Gear.
I also contacted other people on the internet, asking if they could vouch for me, and I only got one reply from someone who couldn't, and my other messages were ignored - and my IP address is banned too, and I wouldn't have created another account to trick them anyways. Well - just thought I'd share. Nothing big.
