Demi, or someone else in the know, how much would it typically cost to run a site like ResetEra per month assuming around 10,000 members who are pretty active?

Uh, I'm sorry but that's pretty offensive. Glitches can't be gay, and as a gay black man I feel that this is making fun of all homosexuals. Please be mindful next time.

Cboat used a gaffer as source and accidentally outed him.
where is this happening?

it's fucking crazy how many people would talk about Gaf utterly destroying the Xbox narrative and the whole "we don't do conspiracies" and the entire time this fucking Bish fuck was banning xbox community members left and right.

Where is that fuck now?

This happened a couple of years ago.  Cboat started posting shit that wasn't accurate and SonyGaf claimed the account was compromised by Microsoft.
Oh God, that's right.

Fucking hell...  :lol :lol :lol

Cboat was right pretty much all the time. But Microsoft was such a dumpster fire that things he leaked got cancelled before they could be shown to the public.

In some cases they cut things from their E3 shows at the last minute. GoldenEye HD made it to early prints of Xbox Magazine that they had to recall to remove it from the issue.

At some point Rare literally developed a motion control penis in response to the Wii with a game called Fast & Furriest.
Microsoft first party is insanity and still is. I doubt they'll ever tell anyone what happened to the cloud-powered Crackdown.

The same thing applies, he was right about 99% of the things he reported on. That Microsoft nuked them can't be blamed on him.

They had community reps vet the discords and then they would share verification codes to the discords.

I imagine that if you got in the HALO, Super Mario or whatever discord and just played along you could get in there.
No way those reps were going to 'vet' hundreds of users.

His response was far more reasonable and impartial than most neogaf moderation I've ever seen.

A far cry from the days where BuddyC banned you because you bumped a week old thread and didn't tell you why this was a bad thing.

At least they give you reasons. At least it was in some form a discussion. It wasn't an instant "die filth" like at gaf. I'm cool with that.
You really want to BELIEVE don't you?

I mean, I sent him a pm telling him that the policy is fair that they don't want baggage but that it's pretty unreasonable to expect this from their users less than a week after the fact, especially given that it was on the Bombcast and other major gaming publications. Are they not allowed to mention the Bombcast now? That's when I start to have a problem, and that's what I need clarification on. We're talking privately now.

I'll be keeping my eye on this.

Here I can sorta understand them wanting no baggage and he did only give you a warning but sometimes it's good to air out some concerns.

I mean, no baggage? Sure. That's fair. But not when Jeff Gertsmann and crew laughed Gaf and EviLore just two days ago. So are your users not allowed to discuss articles and podcasts that talk about it? It's a reasonable demand made at an unreasonable time and it's fair to critique to see where exactly they stand on it.

They are going with a no mention it at all angle from what I understand.

I feel we should have a thread dedicated to just airing it out but it's what the board admins agreed to in that respect.

Messofanego came to a BritGAF meet once.

I don't think he said a single word to anyone, was clearly uncomfortable around normal people and normal conversations, and never really posted in the thread again.

Moderating forums is about being pragmatic;  if they allowed NeoGAF discussion then they'd likely end up with a huge mess of NeoGAF bashing which they probably don't want to be part of their "fresh start", so it's easier just to say "let's move on from that, simple rule, don't discuss NeoGAF."  Allowing discussion and then having to moderate said discussion and pick and choose which comments cross a line is not practical.

See, I agree. And that's why I like Rowlf's response. That's far more reasonable and transparent than any of the tacky incompetence I saw at Neogaf so they've won me over, at least partially.

Gonna go with the latter. It would makes sense there was a lot more activity what with people making new OT's and everyone wanting to get in.

I predict reseteras usage will bottom out over the next month, but then start gaining momentum over time as it goes through a couple game shows.

The real show down will be E3. It will be like a ppv fight.

Yeah, ban reasons/lengths being public knowledge is a huge step in the right direction.

If the community ends up being fine with "USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST - FOREVER" hovering over something like

well then the community gets the mods they want. But at least then the userbase can no longer claim that "dissent doesn't get you banned, being an asshole does!"

Also moderators tend to get jaded and / or sour on the job. Patience tends to get thinner, and that's understandable to an extent. For new they're fresh and happy, so...

I don't care how many of a certain group there are, if I can adjust my language to not piss of people, it doesn't take any effort. Sure I'll be happy to. It's not tough.
You're willing to reshape language? really? Get rid of "He" and "She", "you guys" 

all of it? really?
yeah, who gives a shit?
You're willing to go to jail for potentially using the wrong pronoun to describe a person? Canada passed a law for this. It's a hate crime if you fuck up someone's gender now over there lol.


No it's not, you putz.

Nobody's going to be going to jail because they accidentallly misgender someone. Hell, they won't go to jail even if they intentionally misgender someone. All the bill does is extends human rights protections to trans people that have been already granted to other minorities. The only way you'd go to jail for misgendering someone is if you do so while also say, advocating killing that same person.

Get that Breitbart shit out of here. God knows this thread doesn't need more of it.

Messofanego came to a BritGAF meet once.

I don't think he said a single word to anyone, was clearly uncomfortable around normal people and normal conversations, and never really posted in the thread again.

The guy who has to have his dates "arranged" by his parents has zero social skills?

But at least then the userbase can no longer claim that "dissent doesn't get you banned, being an asshole does!"
Why not?

I mean, they still could and some probably would. "You're an asshole if you voted for Trump. Period. See only assholes are banned, not dissent!"

But it'd be harder to plausibly deny to anyone sensible.

Yeah, but that's not their audience.

ResetEra's sign up is asking me to answer secret question that's not visible. Does that mean I'm a spy?

ResetEra's membership count is over 9000.

With only a brief open registration, and many more willing to go, spamming NeoGAF threads for invites  :lol
It's impressive. I guess they could hit fairly quickly 15k to 20k, which accounts for a big chunk of the current GAF active userbase, I suppose. GAF has 196k members total over its whole history including banned, inactive and I believe registered but non approved (and nuked ?) and really how many of them were still active one week ago ? 50 to a very generous 100k ? Less ?

So according to my shitty napkin math Recettear was outposting Neogaf 14 to 1 last night in the launch period, and it's down to roughly 5 to 1 today.

How the hell are posts down today when there's way more activity?  :doge

I voted for Trump. I truly thought he would help my family
If you thought this you should be banned from the planet.

Vote for him in jest
Vote for him because you hate Hillary
Vote for him because he was the Republican

But seriously thinking Trump would help your family :doge

I don't care how many of a certain group there are, if I can adjust my language to not piss of people, it doesn't take any effort. Sure I'll be happy to. It's not tough.
You're willing to reshape language? really? Get rid of "He" and "She", "you guys" 

all of it? really?

In provinces where the rule was passed, yes they can potentially end up in jail due to the humans right tribunal. The process is this -> Misgendering -> Reported Misgendering -> new rule violation -> goes to Humans Rights Tribunal -. Tribunal decides to fine -> person refuses to pay fine -> they go to jail.
