this thread has that classic gaf feel. Wonder how long before it turns ugly.

Already has.

The funny thing is that the more logical thing would be not to have a fucking fence there that prevents half the people from watching the game. But we can't touch capitalism, can we Clinton supporters?

Signed up for Resetera and got in within 10 mins. Maybe because I linked my gaf account. Which I'll keep in case Resetera goes down.

 :hitler

I will say their gaming side is pretty boring so far. Although the massive lack of true fanboy shilling is mildly refreshing. I'm sure once the 'right' marketing companies approach the higher ups that could change.

So why doesn't Cerium make any topics on his new board?  Back on GAF he made tons of topics and posts daily.  But on Reset, he's hardly said anything.  It's kinda weird.

I am curious exactly how the mods at Reset will uhhh, I'm not going to say stop necessarily, but let's say...dial down, the outrage culture element of gaf. This is important because the outrage culture fed into the culture shift where there was only one opinion worth any salt in any discussion. I'm not going to say no outrage should happen but with gaf it felt like it was constant outrage at the end of its life and I wonder how Reset staff will deal with that "constant" part which makes the forum come off really negatively and makes a large part of the userbase apprehensive and sometimes downright hostile to opposing viewpoints.

I certainly hope they recognize this could be a problem and have come up with ways to go around it.

wait, and apologies if i'm mistaken, but aren't you black?

But I'm finding all the little details of the board to be pretty lacking. Everything feels stuck together with duct tape.

Which is fair since it's a brand new site of course.

I bet nows the time to ask Evilore to change my tag to something less Emoji movie.    I didn't even defend the movie as much as say who the fuck cares what something like Rotten Tomatoes thinks about the Emoji movie.  Critics try to get more internet cred than Gaffers did when shit like that was handed to him.    Like Stephen A Smith hottakes when the easy bad review comes time to post. 

Though, I did have "I'm an idiot" for the longest time.    No clue who gave that too me, but still fuck David Jaffe..   it took GAF years after to turn on that bastard.

Okay okay, Baghdad Elf, take it easy. We got a witness.


Messofanego decided to make one last stop to GhostGAF to help the insecure elf with the transparency bit, seeing as the little elf has had a bit of a problem staying transparent and honest with his forum users. As a surprise to absolutely no one, Messofanego got instantly permabanned and his post got deleted, but don't worry internet jury. Let's jump into our DeLorean DMC-12 and re-visit what exactly transpired :doge Without further ado:

:yeshrug

That's not an easy issue to adress because if I understand correctly (but I may not) gender dysphoria does fall under the umbrella of psychiatry and will often have a form of mental anguish over the conviction you were born with the wrong gender. Calling it mental illness may not be untrue, in the most clinical and factual way, but of course the term is casually riddled with popular misunderstandings and judgemental tones. I'm not sure I could decide which it is in the two offending messages, to be honest. I think it's harsh permabanning (if it is indeed the sanction) without clarification.

User was permabanned for implying trans are mentally ill.
:yeshrug

That's not an easy issue to adress because if I understand correctly (but I may not) gender dysphoria does fall under the umbrella of psychiatry and will often have a form of mental anguish over the conviction you were born with the wrong gender. Calling it mental illness may not be untrue, in the most clinical and factual way, but of course the term is casually riddled with popular misunderstandings and judgemental tones. I'm not sure I could decide which it is in the two offending messages, to be honest.

Without reading the article in the OP or the rest of the responses, it seems like these two tried to make a general comment in a very targeted thread. I could be wrong.

To be fair it's a bit weird to reach for self esteem and mental illness when the article seems at a glance to take issue with how lazy the humor is in the game and therefore how little it turns tables on its premises for something a tad less crass than the mere shock value of parroting extreme bigotry. Conflating critique with fragility is dismissive in this case.

I'll give resetera credit, their transparency when it comes to bans is refreshing after dealing with the black box that was GAF moderation the last ~11 years or so. Especially post modbot.

They reversed the perma ban into a 1 month long. They better stay on top of this before it becomes another neogaf.

I registered in the initial open reg wave, as someone who has only been posting on the bore for years, I find the speed of the forum overwhelming and will probably just follow a few gaming threads

Hollywood Duo on page 1 too.

Wow...not even a month ban? Are they not trying to change minds before tossing people into the pit?

Two things:

1) The mods got together to discuss Hollywood Duo's ban. As we realized that his post could be taken in a few ways - ignorance, malice, or just poor wording - we decided to reduce his ban to one month instead of a permaban.
2) This topic is about the representation of transgender individuals in South Park. If you can't stay on that topic, leave the thread. This is the last warning.

They must have read my posts here and agreed. =P

This is a good move.

I find the speed of ResetEra to be too slow for my liking. Needs faster turnover.

Or maybe that is just the cocaine talking.

I never liked the pompous secrecy and ultra hardline stamping down on any discussion of bans on GAF.

It is a fucking gaming board, not the Vatican electing a new pope. Get over yourselves GAF moderators.
