Lore's going HAM was funny.

GAF has been full of passive aggressive assholes for a long time and then one of them tries that schtick at the owner of the site, and permed.

I have no sympathy.  Dude is the owner of the site. It's his house. You don't insult people who invite you to your home.

I've actually disagreed with many of EL's moderation stances, but it was fun seeing that. 

That type of snark is the native language of many GAFfer. Good faith conversation is really hard to have.

I really don't know why he hasn't abused the straight user deletion more often.

I like it too. And instead of temp banning or giving a shameful tag, just give them a bright orange name like a prison jumpsuit that lets everyone know they're on probation for the moment. And if they still give you problems then they lose their name even.

In his mind he's taken away something precious to some people. And to some people it's absolutely true.

I'm not very fond of the concept of willful ignorance ("LA LA LA LA DOESN'T MATTER RACISM SHUT UP") or going straight into personal attacks because of information you don't like, and the idea that something shouldn't be talked about with regards to this case because it will "draw the narrative away from what matters" is ludicrous considering this is not even the main discussion about the incident, it's the discussion about Dawkins' claims about the kid's credibility (and subsequently Dawkins' descent into stupidity and Breitbartdom, and the disgusting reveal about his "mild pedophilia" crap, but that's another matter).

Before he stopped showing up on IRC he said a lot of stuff about how he doesn't even like most of his users anymore. He's too busy living the surreal 1%er life.

That doesn't strike me as elitist, more like an honest response to reality. Although, he should realize that his choice in mods is what cultivated such a shitty userbase.

1%? LOL, stop. Evil has always had a problem telling the truth and if you even think for a second he's doing 1/2 as well as he says he is then you're silly.

I'm not saying he doesn't have money, but he doesn't have 1% money and the value of his site is slipping with that declining user base nobody is talking about.

I don't believe Evilore has suggested what he makes off the site would put him in the 1%, but that offers he's gotten for it would. (Temporarily.)

I mean, even if you were making "only" $100,000 a year off the site, the free time alone would give you a decent lifestyle compared to if you were working for that $100,000.

I doubt he even has enough bathrooms to shit in a different one for a single week.

How about a 2 week ban first? Permanent seems kind of harsh. Does she know what she did and why it was wrong?

Did the report have anything specific? Was it intentional as a prank? Kids love pranks and should be punished if they go too far but punishment needs to be handled correctly as well.

Do you realize how hurtful is to tell someone they're a shitty parent or don't deserve to be one, like they're some alcoholic abusive piece of crap?

People's entire identities and senses of pride tend to revolve around being a parent once they become one, on a chemically bonded level, and nobody needs this kind of derision over essentially grounding their kid.

And while not widely reported on NeoGAF, where maybe 10 out of the thousands and thousands of people who post here actually play, create in, or even like the LittleBigPlanet games, but it was always an issue on any LBP forum and among the community that all follows each other on twitter. Even gevurah22/donkeyshow from GAF, who works for Sumo now and actually helped make LittleBigPlanet 3 had one of his levels moderated and locked by trigger happy, reasonless Good Grief reporting.

Last gen consoles had a bunch of parental settings, I imagine current gen consoles have those same options. He could probably set it so she can play online but block access to all communication from other players, make it so nobody can view the profile, tons of shit like that.

Keep your kids out of shooting games though, not because of the gore, they fucking suck when it comes to online play.

It's funny that on a discussion forum like GAF any topic that tends to generate a noticable amount of heat and actual discussion is quickly going to be locked.
The problem here is moderation on neogaf isnt moderation in the traditional forum sense (i.e. if you break a rule you get banned). Mods on neogaf seem to think it's their job to steer a conversation into a 'constructive' or 'acceptable' avenue instead of just enforcing the rules of the board and letting people have a conversation within this framework. Mods are much more concerned with how the board looks from the outside or pushing their viewpoint, or simply too lazy (who can blame them, you gain nothing) to moderate a heated discussion without trying to completely interject their own opinion as the correct one and forcing the conversation to be on their terms.

I like opiate though, mods need to be kinda bleep bloop, enforce rules  imo, you dont want them to be the tone setters, it stifles actual conversation as we've seen because some people have realized they can do whatever the fuck they want if they stay on the mod's side of a conversation.

The board rules outline that mods are given leeway to moderate as they see fit. I dunno, I see a lot of good that can be done with simply taking away a moderator's identity and keeping it strictly modbot 24/7. Mods end up policing shit hard, stopping certain avenues of discussion when they show up or at worst end up with some scorched earth shit when they're personally offended and decide to nuke a thread all together. Off topic community bans are laughable. Evilore telling the black community thread to fuck off during black history month was  :lol tho

Shame some sport communities went offline when he realized he couldn't do shit to that thread and still had pent up rage to spend.

Mods should just be forum janitors. Clean up spam, enforce the rules. No one gives a fuck about you projecting a tone or keeping a thread "acceptable". If you take a forum mod job that seriously, it's time to take a look at the rest of your life and see what's missing.

I was real bummed when I played the Forza Horizon 2 demo. Game seems okay for an arcadey racer but 30fps is especially distracting in driving game. I'd take a downgrade to 900p/720p if it meant 60fps

minimum 60 is always a lot better when it comes to racers and shooters. That being said Forza Horizon is the series where I make a personal exception because its very fun and at least its a rock solid 30.

On an individual level, I don't mind a person liking a game that most people don't. I do it all the time. And its very believable that individuals will of course have differing tastes. It's annoying on GAF when its a group of them who then band together to create a narrative of something being the most under-rated thing of all time who then go spam it into every thread imaginable. Especially when its obviously driven by first party diehards. You rarely see this kind of thing foment around third party titles which kind of exposes the bias.

I think Blur was an amazing under-rated game that nobody bought. But you won't see that get a cheerleading squad because it doesn't have an in-built legion of fanboys to get behind it like DriveClub.
