Instead I find myself in situations where I get banned 3 months for sarcastic comments about a device I own, and think is great.
You were banned because you were annoying the shit out of nearly everyone with that idiot shtick. I saw numerous people making appeals over Twitter to a particular mod to get you to knock it off. I'd recommend revising your character when you go back to GAF, because once you've started to annoy the moderation staff, you're not going to get the benefit of the doubt other posters would in questionable situations and you'll likely end up banned again.
Look to Andrex for advice - he was on the exact same path at one point, but he (generally) learned to smarten up and keep his head down. That's your future at GAF, and it's all because you couldn't stop nailing yourself to a cross over a chunk of plastic.
I got the message that people were growing tired of that. I legitimately tried to make an effort to stop, which is why the ban surprised me. It occurred on Vita Game Heaven day, yet I was one of the few who didn't think that the sky was falling on Vita. If there ever was a day for me to shout Vita doom from the top of my lungs that would've been the day. I knew it was getting on people's nerves, and trust me when I say that I'm not proud that Googling "neogaf takao" gives you results like
this.
When I come back I'll drop it entirely, because I don't want people to know me as the
Sony emo or some shit. I'll change the text on my avatar to read "Takao already dead?" or something since it seems to be a common belief that I've been permabanned, the fact that some think that's believable is damning in itself. Besides, there are others who've replaced my "Vita Doom" place with legitimate belief in that.
does anyone know why i was banned
it's because you lost to timedog
i voted for you man
spoiler (click to show/hide)
