Title: What do we do with Etiolate?
Post by: Himu on October 28, 2017, 04:02:31 PM
I think it's time.

Okay so, although we have different ideas on what to do with this thread I think most of us can agree that it's time for Etoliate to go. The guy left of his own will during Gamergate when we clowned him, Magus, and Damian for supporting GG, but has since decided to "grace" us with his presence since with mra/gg stuff that has apparently drawn eyeballs to this forum by the wrong kind of people.

Having Etoilate around is fine until the day people who share his views make up the majority of the forum.

Solution: ban anybody who likes one of his posts.  Maybe you could even make it automatic, like a self-banning button

Post by: Human Snorenado on October 28, 2017, 04:43:38 PM
I assume most of the dumb shit is happening in the GAF thread. As long as it's not like, toxic, racist, discriminatory posting (or such disguised as concern trolling, aka "The Etoilet Special™") then ultimately I don't really give a shit who posts here. Etoilet is obnoxious as all fuck, but most of his obnoxiousness comes not from his stupid views but from his wrongheaded, smarmy self-assuredness that he's sooooooo fucking smart and sees things others don't. Since Charlottesville, he's been mum as all fuck on the political front, which honestly is where most of his problematic behavior comes from. But if that's what he's doing and he's just moved it to the GAF thread, then yeah, sure- ban him and anyone else creating a toxic environment. But if we banned people for being stupid we'd have no members very quickly. I mean fuck, most of you labor under the delusion that the Switch library is quality.

For those of you new to the forum, lepering prevents people from making threads and makes their usernames piss-yellow. It does not restrict them from posting.

So "Ban/Leper/Stay" doesn't really make much sense.

Etiolate is a tool, but if he’s the “worst problem” we have on this forum, we’re doing all right.

Nothing needs to be “done” with him, anymore than anything needed to be “done” with you when you’ve had your own moments of being *cough* “difficult”, Cindi.

Yeah, not all of the noobs suck. Granted I don't go into the gaf thread though, which I imagine is where most of them post and I imagine most of them do suck.

I'm mostly in favor of taking advantage of the fact that we don't post on GAF and just making lots of posts and threads mocking the etoilets of the world to serve as a cautionary tale to our new, impressionable idiot members.

fwiw, everyone new I’ve seen who’s posted outside the gaf thread has been fine.* Internal to the gaf thread is obv a different matter, but I’m of the opinion that if you frequent that place anyway, you’ve effectively signed up for whatever depressing, manic horseshit goes on in there. Treating etiolate like the sole, or even primary reason for the influx of garbage is ridiculous, he’s been here for years now without any substantial change to the accepted tenor of discussion on this board.

*lone exception being bamewild but I’m 60% sure he’s a joke poster and either way, he’s less of an existential threat to the forums image than just a distinguished mentally-challenged pet

My main concern is that Etiolate is a signal for people of a specific element to jump in. And they have. Maybe it has nothing to do with him. I'd like to know what he thinks of the alt right/gg'ers we have joining us.

blah blah blah freedom of speech blah blah blah all points should be listened to blah blah blah, there you go

If your concern is that openly misogynistic, pro gg talk is becoming tolerated/encouraged here (a legit concern) after the GAF nonsense, your best bet to get it addressed IMO would be to start a private dialog with demi/joe. Of course at this point that's sort of like suggesting you close the barn door after the cows wander out, so.

You can thank etoilet and half the junior goobers that this place has any kind of GG rep. The most trafficked thread on this forum has been filled with that shit this past week, and yeah it serves as a containment thread but it's also probably the only thread lurkers bother to read. Etoilet is fine when he's by himself espousing the truths about Seth Rich, getting clowned on by the regulars here, but throw in enough GAF/Voat fuckbois who want to tell everyone how they really feel and that thread becomes insufferable. No real solution other than relying on the community to self regulate itself and call shit out, but that sometimes feels like too much effort esp with the recent uptick of garbo posters. That said, this place would still be a boogeyman to some without these posters' presence and there's really no use trying to change perceptions--it's just more annoying than anything parsing through these feggits' musings when imo that thread works best as a place to clown on select posts and other forums.

tldr: If you solely post in the GAF thread you're probably a biiiiiiitch. Diversify your postings or better yet find some likeminded :trash elsewhere.

I didn't know etiolate from Adam before he started posting again. My only exposure to his personality has come from the last few years in the Politics thread for peddling the type of right-wing conspiracies that usually show up on my grandma's facebook page and his self-proclaimed talent of "dispensing Ls". And some of his GG shit in the GAF thread.

I don't know what should be done with him but the most recent impression he's left on the community has been awful.

Post by: Rusty Shackleford on October 28, 2017, 05:56:50 PM
Banning seems to go against the self-policing ethos that folks here should be proud of. I think the bigger problem is some of the new juniors 1) posting solely in the gaf thread and 2) posting politics in the GAF thread despite multiple polite requests from other members to take it to the appropriate thread.

The new guys that have been posting elsewhere on the site seem fine.

You can't have it both ways, can you? If you want to rely on members to keep each other in line, then you're gonna have some 'tards spouting off. If you don't like what they have to say and shaming isn't enough, then you'll have to start bouncing them. Where do you draw the line?

Because they have a 1000 pages of mocking GAF for being a safe space that bans opposing opinions and I gave them the opposing view so they want to ban me.

Bullshit. This had nothing to do with him and everything to do with people abandoning GAF and finding to opportunity to speak in a similar forum after years of being silent. If they knew about thebore before they would have come here already. I constantly offend liberal sensibilities too for different reasons and never gave a shit about him.

And btw Himuro this is getting worrying, first you propose to close the GAF thread because Resetera is now perfect and fixed, a conclusion you reached after 3. fucking. days. of the forum existing and now to ban eliatolate or whatever his nick is. If you want to fuck off to the other forum that is so great and and perfect do that, afterall you always seemed that you would be happier in a more ban-happy place. Just my 2 cents.

I'm still confused what the matter is. Ms. Mayweather's argument is that other people look at this board as some shithole red pill website. Ok, that's fine.

What would cleaning up the act solve? They have a safe space, why would they bother interacting with multiple websites?

At most it would calm you down and who knows what the next trigger word to launch you on yet another episode. Even before all this redpill bullshit you did the same exact thing before words like "gamergate" and "redpill" became this popular millenial crap.

We create a new subforum called "Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom" and make TVC15 the sole moderator. We then put all of the undesirables in there, revoke their ability to post on any other forum on the board, and never speak of it again.

I don't think it's fair to fault him with all the garbage new accounts in the GAF thread. Like what ? Lurkers see etiolate posts (but not those of every one else ?) and somehow that is a mating call ? It honestly feels like scapegoating in its most biblical sense, as if no other regular users (especially in the GAF thread) -myself included- did partake in sometimes reactionary, snarky, contrarian, provocative, smug and biased discourse which may align with the usual bulletpoints of some of the current unsavory corners of the Web. Railling against safespaces, Social Studies Warrior, passing summary judgement on one's intentions, always taking for granted the worst possible motivations in any GAF drama up to speculating on pedophilia if not a pedophilia ring (OK that one took a eerie turn a few months ago)... A complete list would be too long to make.

It is all a big joke of course, but we do know that those can start to get a life of their own after a point and it is not just a week old either (though the thread has reached a new level of insanity due to ongoing events). People mistake us for VOAT or whatever other hellhole because there is some overlap between our GAF thread and what they do (at least the part about picking, choosing and laughing at links from GAF or whatever). It is unreasonable to expect outsiders to read the rest or understand at a glance the arcane, convoluted & insular culture of the place that informs the jokes and whatnot. For better of for worse, the GAF thread is the forefront of TheBore. And I'm skeptical as to the containment theory, it certainly seems that last week it sucked in much more people than anything.

As an aside, the GAF thread seems increasingly like an outdated relic in the shifting Internet culture and I suspect the prejudice and incomprehension of casual passers-by will only get worse. This sort of message boards fuckery is probably getting as obsolete as message boards themselves. Maybe because the language is too edgy and maybe because drama has scaled up to become worldwide with real-life consequences thanks to Twitter, 4ch, Anonymous or any other site you care to name.

Moving on to the person of etiolate himself : I don't care for his political insight and have long decided to pass most of his posts on the matter. I also can only rally to most of Human Snorenado comments about him, nonetheless I do find him witty at times and I do think that for all his flaws (and god knows he has many) he is also a real person with opinions on big or small things I wouldn't have expected given his overall slant. Likewise with the fact -he will probably try to contest for our hilarity- that he is obviously capable of shame though it has yet to lead to some more humility. I also believe it is necessary to have some diversity of opinions, apart from the truly heinous ones, even if it means settling with etiolate as the token one for crazy right wing stuff. All the more since I find him mostly harmless.
All that being said, I am not familiar with the longer history here, despite having lurked on and off before joining and I guess some of the opinions are informed by that.

Lastly, with regards to this community, I think permanent bans should be used as parsimoniously as possible and be reserved as a last resort and/or to punish grievous offences only.

For all those reasons I say :
- Keep etiolate.
- Retire the GAF thread, at least temporarily, or let's try to consider some tone policing to avoid some of the usual excesses.

Combine all threads except the Politics and GAF threads into the Video Games forum

Rename the Video Games forum "Manbaby Pacifiers"

Rename the forum with the Politics and GAF threads "Shit/Bin"

make it so users can completely hide one forum or another upon loading the website, everyone gets their own special message board for deep and serious discussion without ever seeing the other boards again

My vote was for leper, and my previous post was a disguised "don't feed the troll" post. After all, if you don't feed these people they tend to go away and seek arguments elsewhere.

Upon further reading I'm not sure I actually understand the upper level dynamics at play here. Some people want all the juniors culled already, and I mean hey, that was my ban at GAF too! I got maybe 4-5 posts in the GAF thread, the other 100 I've earnestly poured into Gaming side and a few OT interests. Already made some friends here and met others with very cool tastes/ideas. It seems unfair to just throw all that away. But whatever, "a few bad apples" and all that.

Now that GAF is in it's final stages of decay and beings to stink, thebore turns in on itself and starts to pick at it's own scabs.

I've got no issues with Mr. E-Toilet, I've only ever seen him in the GAF thread which should imo, always be taken with a grain of salt 1, and 2, should absolutely be considered it's own containment thread. I disagree with his politics or at least what I'm told of them, gamergators ain't shit tbh. The industry as a whole continues to get more diverse and representative regardless of their shit flinging and I love it. All the best games this year have had female leads and it's never been better. So GG'ers can go cry in a corner I suppose.

Debating Mr. E-toilet is up to the individual in the end, not every post needs a response. In regards to banning him, the general atmosphere of the bore had suggested to me that bans would be quite rare as most stupid people are just called out and that's that. Banning Mr. E-Toilet offers what exactly? Is the eventual goal of thebore to become the much loathed "Echo-chamber" most of us came from?

I'd also like to point out the suspicious nature of this thread existing as pointed out by members previously. You spend the last week shitting on GAF with everyone else, the thread was moving at some 50+ pages a day, swoon over resetera for a couple days and suddenly start demanding cleanups at the bore? That's not a good look.

Anywho I don't like getting uppity with people, got like anxiety meds and shit so that's my piece and if the junior purge is real well, it was nice to meet some of you.

I agree with this sentiment but my own experience with gators is that they simply don't care. Reason, logic, decency? These things mean nothing to them. Seemingly they exist solely to screech their shitty agendas from atop any platform offered.

I don't mean to seem apathetic, but sheesh, talking with these people is like yelling at the wall. Same reason you won't see me in any politics threads. Arguing with cuckservatives is akin self-harm. They're too dumb, unwilling or unable to logically explain their position or make a case for it. They fall back to the allegory and metaphors of Religion. "Gays can't marry cuz god said so!" Often they can't even see the irony in extolling the freedoms of America as they do, yet all of their social policies involve curb stomping freedom for others, minorities, and women.

So I dunno, it just feels harder and harder to work up the energy to argue with these people. They won't listen to words.

you can tell who hasn't been around long by how much they're getting riled up like this is some kind of ban-happy exclusive community. we usually drive people away with shame and insults, and have definitely banned posters who poo out an endless stream of shit all over the forum and won't leave. some, like etoilet and jaydub, just manage to stay around forever because they get off on knowing others hate them. i don't care if they're banned, and lol at thinking we're adhering to some higher moral code by keeping around blatant dumdums.

I comment other places on the net. It's really just this place that reacts in such a manner.

When y'all the only constant variable then maybe time for introspection.

I get better voter turnout than both parties.  ;)

Did you return to those places to triumphantly spout nonsense about how post-irony won Donald Trump the election? I'm not even going to ask about those places' leanings, because in no way would that be a factor.

Post-irony was a big part of the election and is now a real world factor. I came back to see if anyone wanted to take the aardvark outta their ass and listen. The answer was no.

I am unfamiliar with the phrase "aardvark outta their ass." I assume it's a Southwestern slang term? Interested in the origin, I like to collect/steal these types of colloquialisms.

I didn't imply that you guys were trigger-happy or anything. But for me Cindi's OP smacks a bit of that mob mentality in which the loudest and/or most popular decries so. and everyone follow suit. But the replies proved me wrong, so I'm sorry if anyone feels slighted by what I said.

I don't like Etiolate's opinions and his pompous rhetoric myself but I think he's just a classic troll character thriving on the attention you're giving him with threads like these. I think he's a decent poster as long as he keeps his alt right views to himself. But if the mods think that he stirs up the GAF refuse and gives this board a bad name in the process, then by all means, ban him.

Though I think a board as small as this one needs a counterpoint in some way to keep things interesting. The rap board I frequented in the 00s was a similarly small-sized affair. But it died off because everyone with a different opinion was ridiculed, insulted and chased off until only the same handful of dudes remained and  of course they got bored and left too. Though we were all in our late teens and early 20s back then. Most are older here and so maybe this board doesn't need an artificial antipode to generate some drama.

Anyway, I know it's not a hip thing here to care so much, so I better get back to Mario Odyssey 8)

I was all about Animaniacs and Pinky & The Brain. Arthur came out around time where I felt like I was too old for it, and was more interested in other cartoons. It always had this air of seemingly being an educational show for very young toddlers.

Yeahhhh...I must be thinking of another one of their shows cuz wiki says it came on when I was too old.

I'm still confused what the matter is. Ms. Mayweather's argument is that other people look at this board as some shithole red pill website. Ok, that's fine.

What would cleaning up the act solve? They have a safe space, why would they bother interacting with multiple websites?

At most it would calm you down and who knows what the next trigger word to launch you on yet another episode. Even before all this redpill bullshit you did the same exact thing before words like "gamergate" and "redpill" became this popular millenial crap.

lawd I enjoyed reading this

I don't know the reasoning behind the OP but I sure as hell hope it isn't to try to show the fine folks at RejectEra that were are not evil bigots.  Because they're going to think that no matter what and furthermore who gives a shit what they think?

I mean who would you trust to make decisions, people that stayed at GAF after it was revealed that they'd harbored and given preferential treatment to an admitted drug addict (not that there's anything wrong with recreational use of whatever) that turned out to be a pedophile (obviously a lot wrong with that) or the chill motherfuckers that got kicked out for saying fuck a lot and making fun of ninthings?

Etiolate is a annoying cunt that likes to pretend to be smarter and wiser than the "vile" people people voting for he to stay. Doesn't need to be banned as he doesn't deserve a thread where he can claim be the victim.

Taking away etoilet would be tantamount to taking away a real toilet from a bar irl. This place is a fun hangout, but we all need something to collectively shit on, so he should stay.
