This is something i've wanted to get off my chest for awhile. With the current news of JaseC leaving, I think it's the right time to bring it up. Even if some might not want to hear it. Several posts in the last few pages are perfect examples of why JaseC left. The constant pokes at mods and general negative attitudes from time to time, make this thread hard to post in for anyone, even the old guard.
Unbeknownst to most, JaseC actually wanted to step down further back. So I can understand why he finally had enough. Hell, It's why I haven't been posting in this community as much as I used to because I haven't felt welcome. But I would still call it home.
I know the EGS stuff as well as other cases can get heated in numerous ways. But none of this is worth driving off good members of the community who only ever wanted to help. Hostility (even as a joke) can end up driving away the people who care the most afterall.

I've said this before (it's how I got permed over there), but the biggest problem with the fucking mods there is the complete inability to self-reflect and to critically assess their own performance.
This fucking post quoted above is a prime example. JaseC is leaving because of toxicity towards the mods? Really? Did they stop and wonder WHY there is so much toxicity towards the mods?
To the muppet REEEEE mods who I know are lurking this thread: If you want to know why you are being attacked so much, read this fucking thread and take a long hard look at yourselves and your actions. Your behaviour is absurd and toxic and the fact you allow the worst and most insane people to run roughshod over the sane people is the reason there is so much hate directed towards you.
If you want to clean up your community, start by banning
en masse:
- almost all of the mods
- the members of the BCT who shit up every thread with racial bullshit
- the members of the LGBTI+ community who shit up every thread with homophobia bullshit
- the toxic members of the politics thread who don't even go to the video game side unless it's to shit it up by signal boosting some twitter idiot and mislabelling anything that doesn't conform to your restrictive world view as "alt-right"
- anyone engaging in console war bullshit
- anyone advocating for boycotts of THQ/Persona/Catherine/Japanese games/Smash Bros over ridiculous imagined racism/sexism/whateverism
- anyone with an anime avatar
- the anti-Bernie crew, because WTF?
By the end of this purge, you'll have about a third of the members left (as well as marrec and Pogi), but they will be the sane ones and your problems will be over.
Alternatively, you can just continue to blame the community and ban anyone who criticises your performance. That's worked fucking great so far.
