It’s coming. Yes, it is. Next Monday is everyone’s favourite Kotakuday, Ban Monday! Our recent contest brought hoards of new commenters. While we do welcome the new folks, we also want to warn them. We ban here at Kotaku. Ban like crazy. So please do not confuse our comment sections with your run-of-the-mill forum, boards, blah blah. We are always open to ban submissions, but next Monday the ban sensitivity on the Hammer will be turned up max. Keep a watchful eye and get those submissions ready to send out next Monday. Stop, Ban Hammer time! More »
There’s a bug in the Ban Hammer! Seems that our recent redesign made our Hammer more sensitive to just about anyone, leading to random bannings. While bannings are generally a good thing (and make us happy), these bannings lack discretion and are giving good commenters the boot. So! Please check your commenter page. If there is a giant “X,” you’ve been banned. Read through your comments and check to see if you wrote anything assholish or stupid or stupidly assholish. If not, then you might be one of the innocents. Send your commenter page URL to tipsATkotaku.com so we can get you back in the commenting fold. More »
