The best part about this is that every party is learning all the wrong lessons. Evilore thinks deleting OT and making mods anonymous will fix everything after spending a weekend deleting threads, the users staying behind think that it was some big mod coup against him, and the Resettis don't realize the moderation was complicit in making the forum a shitshow and in the hushing of Amir0x, assuming they even remembered the Amir0x shit. It's all doomed to fail.

neogaf was never an s j w site and if you think the views expressed were particularly radical you need to get out more

Besada discriminate and banned or protected people based of whatever they were a minority.

All we're hearing is allegations. Nothing has been proven to this point. So we're suppose to believe everything we read and hear? Is that how it works now?
Quote
exactly. im not judging someone based on the allegations of a stranger. that's kind of insane to do so.
Quote
I've heard EVERYTHING and I applaud the owner for not admitting certain questionable details about the accuser. He could have and it would have put everything in a different light. I'm here for the longhaul the faux outrage is humorous. Same people who swore they give both sides the benefit of the doubt.
Quote
You've known all these years he's a scumbag yet you stayed on as a member posting regularly. Why didn't you say something before?

I have zero respect for people like you. You're just a drama queen jumping on a bandwagon.

A lot of people showed their ass when they thought they "won", the most surprising being a Microsoft employee.

Evilore did nothing wrong

Thanks for the clarification, nice to be back and hope that the forum evolves.

This forum let me know about niche wonderfull games and enjoy console launches more

For another 10 years!
Quote
I believe Evilore. Not sure how you can believe a claim with no evidence or proof.
Quote
Agreed 100%. A lot of people jumping to conclusions will soon regret leaving.
Quote
Seriously. Some were actually disgusting. If people want their "progressive" echochamber where evilore appearently raped somebody good for them, I don't want to be part of a place like that.
Quote
They're accounts the idiots from discord are using to brigade the forum. It'll keep happening for a while until they're out of accounts.



Quote
with that out of the way: while i understand certain measures being taken to protect the mod team, for example, i can't help but think that outright banning political discourse is a bit of a overreach, and one that is difficult to enforce to boot (due to the vast amount of grey area it presents); for example, will avatars featuring political messages or figures also be prohibited?

neogaf was never ultra-left, it had a dipshit apolitical webmaster lording over a group of committed liberal mods

it was a situation ripe for disaster and i'm surprised it took this long for folks like shinra-basho and Y2Kev to jump ship

I'm not

that's true, i forgot that shinra-basho personally participated in pizzagate

GAF was mostly champaign neoliberals. Communist twitter is where the real action is.

Dude, she literally slept with him afterwards and remained friends for a time. He read some signals wrong while drunk. He fucked up for sure. Nobody was raped or murdered. In a more sane time, both of them would've laughed it off nervously the next day and gone about their life.

If this happened just ten or fifteen or so years ago it woudn't of been a big deal to anyone, to Tyler, to her, and likely most of all the GAF community at large.

But everyone has to be a victim now for social brownie points, so carry on.

I think part of the thing is that see the really radical views it takes staying in more and scouring even deeper corners of the web. The group-think on GAF certainly was not textbook stuff by any means. It was its own niche of populist social issues left-wing politics.

Most people in real life don't act like the Slayvens, Lime's, Yass Queens, and the Amiorox's of the internet either.

Hell most people aren't like I am either. They are complex barely politically active people that go about their lives and often have weirdly contradictory views like some casual racism but loved them some Obama, think Climate Change may be a hoax and chem trails real, but want UHC and think Gary Johnson has some good ideas, but just sort of vote down a party line when the time comes.

Please tell us how neogaf wasn't an Social Studies Warrior site?

Neogaf wasn't ultra left, but they were still extreme. They banned users for questioning people (aka me) saying statements such as "all white people are racist and scare me." It was its own kind of radical.

I've already seen mods post about how they got harassment outside of NeoGAF due to being NeoGAF mods, even when there wasn't a hot button issue going on. I don't think that is necessary a red flag - although I'm not sure EviLore is the person I'd want to hear the mod's motives from right now.
And yet they stayed on until now. What made them all quit now is that harassment already existed? Why quit now when their friend would need them most? Theres clearly more to this story.

as is, anyone with the slightest taste for condemnation is flaming out in the first 24 hours. 15,000 bans later, he has a rump core of pacified tit licking rubes who will barely need moderation.

they were “radical centrists” who believe in the thoroughly asinine concept of “horseshoe theory” which means “everyone with an actual ideology is bad”. basically you’re allowed to think racism is systemic in 2017 america but can’t support reparations, and that we should let brown people into our countries “if they earn it” but can’t repudiate obama and clinton drone striking their weddings and hospitals.
