I would like to introduce myself, and talk about a few issues I have seen brought up over my past few days on this account.
1. Unbanning past users who have been permanently banned - This is something many of you may be aware of. I have overturned a few permanent bans that myself AND Johneh have deemed to be unfair that were made by past moderators (who may not have been so fair..). We will NOT be unbanning anybody who has been permanently banned for posting porn or using Cheat Engine, because these are two very serious offenses. We’d like people to stop mailing us asking for their account to be unbanned, especially if the ban is deserved. If you genuinely feel like your ban isn’t deserved, send us a mail, and we will talk to you about it. But be prepared to take no as an answer. People have been messaging us over and over again after we have said no, and we will continue to ignore this as they start to get annoying after a while
2. Spamming the blogs page - We didn’t literally mean posting links to other links on Tengaged aka “spamming a design/blog.” We meant posting a blog by using a certain word that allows you to have many blogs active on the page at once. This is considered spamming and you will receive a blacklist for this.
3. Sending us e-mails and appealing bans - We understand nobody is perfect, and even we make mistakes sometimes. If you feel like your ban is unfair, e-mail us. We likely won’t over turn it though, so be prepared for that. We know when people deserve bans, hence why the receive them. Threatening us, spamming our e-mail, and getting user after user to mail us will not help your chances at all. We will answer e-mails that are legitimate, but we won’t answer spam ones.
4. Designs made by multiple users - This is something that has come up a lot over the past little bit. We understand the frustration of somebody taking your idea, or attempting to ruin your reputation by taking the same designs you have used in the past, but we have to approve designs when designers show us concrete proof that they took it from a website. We’ll respond to all of these requests, and do our best to explain things but don’t take the frustration out on us, we’re just doing our job.
5. Cheating in games / sharing IPs - This is a VERY serious issue. We will not take this lightly. Any suspicious activity WILL be looked at and if enough proof is given, we WILL ban you. The ban may be shorter at first, but these bans will add up and become very lengthy if the user refuses to play by the rules.
Asking to be banned - we will do all these requests, but don’t waste our time with 1 day bans or asking us to be unbanned after a day. We understand that sometimes the site can be time consuming and some people cannot prioritize properly, so we will help you with that if you genuinely feel like you can’t stay off the site.
Keep in mind we are not here to look for reasons to ban you all. We do our best to be fair, and instead of making blogs accusing us of things, try mailing us. Getting our side of the story will probably explain things. Who knows, maybe things will go your way. Sometimes we do make mistakes too!
If you have any questions, post on the blog or mail us! We'll answer you the best that we can.
Loves how I was unfairly permed and I can't have my account back. So rule 1 is shit okay.
I like my account now but you're clearly playing favorites :)
We're not playing favorites at all, especially considering I do not know many of these users on a personal level. WannaBeeFriends - Mail us about your past account if you want something. Refer to the last part of our blog where instead of accusing us about stuff, you could mail us about it. We won't unban people who have been permed for porn or cheat engine, those are the rules we are sticking to, and if we believe your perm ban is fair, we will keep it.

I liked it all until here. People should just hit the log out button. You're job is to moderate, not babysit users that need someone to ensure they don't log on.
But glad to have moderation back again! I know some websites remove blogs, comments, etc. when posts start to get aggressive , rude, and negative. I think that would be a nice implementation the new moderator(s) could do.
I looove that there is new moderation! I'm living with the user Zackaroni68 rn, and I'm pretty sure our IP is cleared and stuff (I've spoken to the old moderation about that) and we used to play games together allll the time when we didn't live together, but as of right now the rule is that we cannot play together... since we used to play together, and since we can provide proof that we are two different people, are we allowed to play together now under some of your new rules? I understand if this is something you cannot change, but it really sucks not being able to join any games with each other lmao :(
Basically my question is the same as tyleror's. Me and likevines20 used to live seperately and played games together all the time, then I moved in and due to the IP rules we weren't able to anymore... With the new rules, is there any chance we could go back to playing together? We can provide proof that we're different people if necessary. Thank you!
me2013 - "We" - This is referring to the management of Tengaged. Myself, Johneh and randomize.
brosky17 - Yes, it's a thing and many users who are not moderators have the ability to delete blogs as they have enough moderator points to do so. That way, it's easier for us to see what really shouldn't be in the blogs page and have it removed.
@TM_MOD I had an old account and it was banned and I have no idea why. This was 7 months ago. It was #jacunliffe. Could you give it a look over and mail me why it was banned so it does not happen again?
