The future of NeoGAF will be a return to what many of us have come here for, a place where we can gather together and enjoy our shared hobby of video games. For a short time, Off-Topic Discussion and Off-Topic Community will be closed so that we can rediscover that. We'll be starting with a clean slate when they come back. However, the focus will be on the many other hobbies we may have like TV, movies, anime, writing, music, etc. Political and social discourse will not be allowed in the new Off-Topic. Those types of discussions greatly added to the harsh and unwelcoming atmosphere of Off-Topic, which pushed many users away.

Moderation will also see changes. Over the years, moderators changed from simply people who made sure discussion stay civil into personalities. It's because of that, many were targeted for harassment and other things. This shouldn't be happening to them. We've taken action to protect these people by making moderation anonymous. There will be no more red-names that single them out nor will there be a list of who is one.

From ModBot as well.

Would be a nice sentiment... 2 years ago.

Don't have the courage to outright ban popular posters who "greatly added to the harsh and unwelcoming atmosphere" with their Twitter-tier bullshit, so just stop all discussion altogether.

I've seen this on other boards before and it ends poorly.

The anonymous moderation seems like a perfectly dumb solution that in no way addresses the core failures the moderation structure of that site has. If not signaling a complete obviousness to the underlying issue.

Cant wait for this disaster to roll out.

Not that anonymous moderation is a good thing, either is some semi-celebrity that people gave some of the mods. It wasn't working.. and at least he understands that.

I'm down with no political or social talk. Let's be honest, those are the things that made Gaf a laughing stock all over.

Though, it makes you wonder.. who's willing to mod.. even covertly.

Is this really how you're going to play this? Try to imply that Off-Topic is toxic and that you're beyond reproach despite all of this evidence showing you have a behavior problem towards women? Fuck off dude, OT is the reason we had people like Stinkles in this community. Without it NeoGAF is just like every other garbage gaming discussion on the internet.

Trying to ban "political and social discourse" from the entire forum sounds basically impossible. There's 1000 different viewpoints on what may constitute political or social topics. That shit just needs to be partitioned off into its own forum so it can't poison the rest.
