I dunno what you folks are seeing. There's no one else in that video but Rami.

I like that this thread went so wild that everyone missed... whatever this is.

It's a reference to TV show he's in.

I've seen Mr. Robot. Given the situation, the reference feels inelegant at best.

Dude who supplied the original quote is a fucking moron if he didn't think it would be interpreted as racism. He's like the H&M of message board posting.

LewieP is not slick, BUT he gets cheap steam keys.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

So what's the over/under Era staff takeaway from that rpgnet thread is


"I should ban trump supporters"

with a long boring eviloresque justification post, completely ignoring the clarifying rules RPGnet added so people get a brand new purity test, and a new word-salad-via-thesaurus ban message?

[Boredfrom]

They should ban politics altogether if they don’t want to deal with pissy contests from assholes.

[NinjaDeath]

The Sweetest Nicole is probably drafting her 8 paragraph reasoning or following suit.

Then the witch hunts and finger pointing will commence.  They will trample over all the supposed slickness just to get each other banned.

Well shit, where’s Hayden’s Oscar for the Prequel Trilogy? In the OT we didn’t even know that he didn’t like sand, or that he was fond of pod racing. Such layers and nuance.

I've got so many posts on The Bore that 100% of my brain is now unliked.

[NegativeCrepe]

Our fake accounts got them so fucking paranoid they have no chance of civil discourse.

Like I stated before, this is all ResetEra is at this point.

(Image removed from quote.)

I love seeing threads like that knowing I did my part to rile them up.

the best part is they are the ones getting banned for calling us out because the mods there are distinguished mentally-challenged

[Joe Molotov]

I thought they disabled post history to get away from this kind of “let me find something you said in 2012 to prove you’re a moron” crap, but now they’ve gone straight to “only 3000 posts in 12 months, this ain’t it chief, gonna be a yikes from me dawg”

[Cauliflower Of Love]

Is that a wrestling reference?

[Cauliflower Of Love]

I've noticed the alternative in this post that everyone and their mother is quoting:

if someone has like 60 posts and only pop up to discuss certain very specific issues, i think it's reasonable to be suspicious they may be an alt-account or astroturfer

Do they actually believe people are being paid to infiltrate ERA 

btw, same guy on GAF posted this:

I piss on the bottom of my pants all the time. I've never noticed a smell.

Honestly what pisses me off more. Is that these woman took this money to make false accusations. While other woman around the country have hard enough time getting people to believe them in the god damn first place. Grrrr

You mean women are capable of lying or being deceitful like every human on the planet? Yikes.

[Cauliflower Of Love]

must. protect. mods.

[benjipwns]

Just report the post for its content and let the mod team do the follow up with the rest. Wanting to play at being thread-cop doesn't make you one.

Detailed reports help the moderation staff rather than them trying to piece things together on their own when they have a bunch of other reports to look at and things to do.

My point was more that it’s not member’s jobs to go around investigating people. Our role should be just reporting offensive posts. The mods can then look into that person and see if there’s cause to ban them or to suspend and give another chance. There’s way too much community policing here IMO. Doesn’t affect me as I stay out of debates and controversial topic as I’m just here for gaming and the more lighthearted threads in EtcerEra for the most part. I just don’t think it’s healthy for the community.

That's a fair opinion, however with my experience moderating large communities for years I disagree, especially with decrying community policing, and it *is* a user's job to give detailed reports with as many reasons why the content was reported as possible.

The more you post, the more mods like you and the more likely you are to "win" arguments. Fucking gamers smh

You're accusing the moderators of bias?

[benjipwns]

Due to the nature of how this site was formed and how certain subreddits and other communities exist to explicitly doxx and troll people here, we are not infrequently targets of troll accounts. As such, we sometimes have people from those communities coming here to stir shit up. Usually they’re pretty transparent, as they can’t meaningfully participate in the community long enough without exposing their asses. Which means they end up having a low post count. This doesn’t mean everyone with a low post count is an idiot troll, but most idiot trolls have low post counts. So it’s one marker out of several to identify posters like this. If you’re a genuine poster, you shouldn’t need to worry about it.

wow, anybody got any links to these communities?

Nobody is born hating another human being. You learn that from elsewhere. Usually from parents, but you can become radicalized from any source. The way you make less white nationalists is to stop their messages from reaching people. The way you do that is by stripping them of the ability to coordinate, which is precisely how ideas are introduced in the modern media world. You need immense organization to spread ideas. Not letting these kinds of people organize over grassroots connections like forums helps stop the spread of their message.

On a tangent -- I wonder how many people on this board actually, honestly realize the power that webforums have in terms of networking? You can seriously go far just by knowing people in life, and forums bleed over into the real world. Just by talking to people on forums, I've been invited for conferences and been in rooms with millionaires and shit like that. Web forums are potent as shit. They are a massively unstudied portion of our society. We are just now beginning to see how important and powerful the ability to connect and mobilize truly is. A lot of the guffawing about "deplatforming" sounds like people flat out not believing in the power of forums.

Ayyyy... fuck you Krejlook, delusional twat.

The only pattern with post counts here is that the most egregious shitposters who provide the emptiest level of content tend to come from the small cadre of users who post hundreds of times every week.

yikes, less than a thousand posts? i don't feel safe on ERA now

[shosta]

Genuinely surprised they never reversed that ban. Poor decision.

And since you've brought up your fantasies, do you think women posters with large post-counts have giant clits? Unpack this OP

The idea is to ostrizise conservatives from polite society in general.
This is also why I am completely in favor of chasing them out of resturaunts and other public places.
Conservatives have no place anywhere. The less places they're allowed the better for everyone.
Era is the largest dedicated gaming forum around with a large population and influence.
Banning filth from here sends a good message.

There's consistently ~3k threads per month, and 500K posts per month(most of these are excelsheet, I know).

Some of the shit I heard him say the last few months:
- But women will unjustly accuse men of assault / harrassment
- I'm not allowed to say marry Christmas anymore (insinuating muslims want to ban Christmas)
- the left is violent (too). He legit claimed the IRA was left wing when I talked about how the alt right openly calls for violence.
- There are only two genders

Literally Hitler reincarnated IMO.

I love that the whole thread is "cut ties, it's not worth it for your sanity"

Yes abandon all your RL friends over rhetorical points that don't actually affect whether you can hang out or exchange a helping hand in time of need

Abandon your support groups that don't 100% match with your ideals and find yourself alone and bitter one day, that will surely be what's best for your personal well-being
