What do we do with Etiolate?

[Himu]

I think it's time.

Okay so, although we have different ideas on what to do with this thread I think most of us can agree that it's time for Etoliate to go. The guy left of his own will during Gamergate when we clowned him, Magus, and Damian for supporting GG, but has since decided to "grace" us with his presence since with mra/gg stuff that has apparently drawn eyeballs to this forum by the wrong kind of people.

[Great Rumbler]

What we've always done: laugh at him for being a big ol' goober.

[etiolate]

Make me a martyr. Make me right for the umpteenth time. :shrug


I am curious who the person was that told Cyndi they were being a meanie head and triggered this.

[Trurl]

Having Etoilate around is fine until the day people who share his views make up the majority of the forum.

Solution: ban anybody who likes one of his posts.  Maybe you could even make it automatic, like a self-banning button

[etiolate]

Retitle it: The Orville Episode 7 Discussion Thread

[demi]

What should I do?

[desert punk]

Really? Ganging up on people, trying to chase them out. Is that how things are being done here?

This is some pathetic schoolyard shit...

[Trent Dole]

Dude doesn't really make that many threads so lepering won't do much. But yeah, a lot of these new jacks are quite obviously human garbage and perhaps an example needs to be made.

[shosta]

You spend two days on reset and come back to try to get etoilet banned? Lol. Cindi, are you ok?

Schoolyard shit? It's what we've always done. We rarely ban, and if it's done, it's usually done so that the community has a say.

[StealthFan]

He's shit and there are some noobs that seem to share his passion for being shit.

[D3RANG3D]

But then who will serve us our L's?

[Tasty]

I think lepering is the appropriate course. Dude has said so much worse shit than past lepers, but I don't think he should necessarily be banned.

A good ol' dunce cap warning new peeps not to take anything he spews seriously is about as good as we can do.

[Human Snorenado]

I assume most of the dumb shit is happening in the GAF thread. As long as it's not like, toxic, racist, discriminatory posting (or such disguised as concern trolling, aka "The Etoilet Special™") then ultimately I don't really give a shit who posts here. Etoilet is obnoxious as all fuck, but most of his obnoxiousness comes not from his stupid views but from his wrongheaded, smarmy self-assuredness that he's sooooooo fucking smart and sees things others don't. Since Charlottesville, he's been mum as all fuck on the political front, which honestly is where most of his problematic behavior comes from. But if that's what he's doing and he's just moved it to the GAF thread, then yeah, sure- ban him and anyone else creating a toxic environment. But if we banned people for being stupid we'd have no members very quickly. I mean fuck, most of you labor under the delusion that the Switch library is quality.

[Dennis]

Keep. I see nothing worse from him than other posters.

And really, I think this is inappropriate. Demi and the other moderators can step in if they think someone is out of line.

[thehunter116]

He's shit and there are some noobs that seem to share his passion for being shit.

Agreed, but you can always ignore them.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Ban etoilet and ban everyone else who registered after NeoGAF took a dump a week ago.

Schoolyard shit? It's what we've always done. We rarely ban, and if it's done, it's usually done so that the community has a say.

Whatever. But you people do realize that he's probably jacking off to this thread.

If you wanna get to him, put him on Ignore and stop invoking his name.

[StealthFan]

I have that bitch on ignore but I've been exposed to his garbage through these goddamn noobs. I agree with Mary Tyler Whore. Ban all the noobs that came from the GAF exodus. We don't have ads here and they're probably not using referral links so nothing is gained by their presence.

[Himu]

Some of the noobs are good though. Like Jerry.

[Tasty]

For those of you new to the forum, lepering prevents people from making threads and makes their usernames piss-yellow. It does not restrict them from posting.

So "Ban/Leper/Stay" doesn't really make much sense.

[Boogie]

Etiolate is a tool, but if he’s the “worst problem” we have on this forum, we’re doing all right.

Nothing needs to be “done” with him, anymore than anything needed to be “done” with you when you’ve had your own moments of being *cough* “difficult”, Cindi.

[Rahxephon91]

I don't think we should do anything.

[Human Snorenado]

Yeah, not all of the noobs suck. Granted I don't go into the gaf thread though, which I imagine is where most of them post and I imagine most of them do suck.

I'm mostly in favor of taking advantage of the fact that we don't post on GAF and just making lots of posts and threads mocking the etoilets of the world to serve as a cautionary tale to our new, impressionable idiot members.

[jakefromstatefarm]

Ban etoilet and ban everyone else who registered after NeoGAF took a dump a week ago.

fwiw, everyone new I’ve seen who’s posted outside the gaf thread has been fine.* Internal to the gaf thread is obv a different matter, but I’m of the opinion that if you frequent that place anyway, you’ve effectively signed up for whatever depressing, manic horseshit goes on in there. Treating etiolate like the sole, or even primary reason for the influx of garbage is ridiculous, he’s been here for years now without any substantial change to the accepted tenor of discussion on this board.

*lone exception being bamewild but I’m 60% sure he’s a joke poster and either way, he’s less of an existential threat to the forums image than just a distinguished mentally-challenged pet

[CatsCatsCats]

Etiolate has funny posts sometimes, and mostly doesn’t fling more shit than is flung at him, and you don’t have to like everyone on the board 🤷‍♀️

[Himu]

My main concern is that Etiolate is a signal for people of a specific element to jump in. And they have. Maybe it has nothing to do with him. I'd like to know what he thinks of the alt right/gg'ers we have joining us.

blah blah blah freedom of speech blah blah blah all points should be listened to blah blah blah, there you go

If your concern is that openly misogynistic, pro gg talk is becoming tolerated/encouraged here (a legit concern) after the GAF nonsense, your best bet to get it addressed IMO would be to start a private dialog with demi/joe. Of course at this point that's sort of like suggesting you close the barn door after the cows wander out, so.

[Valkyrie]

What'd he do? I assume this is related to That One Thread I never post in.

Give him a Swirly

This is what happens when you peddle Guild Wars 2 son.

[Raist]

Keep him.

Or ban him but them ban Jack too. Balance of the Force and all that.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

How are there 12 keep votes?

Honestly, banning is lame as shit.

[Mr. Gundam]

Keep him or leper him. Banning is stupid and doesn't solve anything when you can no longer call out his bullshit.

[Rusty Shackleford]

So is this a secret ballot

[Purrp Skirrp]

You can thank etoilet and half the junior goobers that this place has any kind of GG rep. The most trafficked thread on this forum has been filled with that shit this past week, and yeah it serves as a containment thread but it's also probably the only thread lurkers bother to read. Etoilet is fine when he's by himself espousing the truths about Seth Rich, getting clowned on by the regulars here, but throw in enough GAF/Voat fuckbois who want to tell everyone how they really feel and that thread becomes insufferable. No real solution other than relying on the community to self regulate itself and call shit out, but that sometimes feels like too much effort esp with the recent uptick of garbo posters. That said, this place would still be a boogeyman to some without these posters' presence and there's really no use trying to change perceptions--it's just more annoying than anything parsing through these feggits' musings when imo that thread works best as a place to clown on select posts and other forums.

tldr: If you solely post in the GAF thread you're probably a biiiiiiitch. Diversify your postings or better yet find some likeminded elsewhere.

[Van Cruncheon]

finger his buttho'

[Let's Cyber]

I didn't know etiolate from Adam before he started posting again. My only exposure to his personality has come from the last few years in the Politics thread for peddling the type of right-wing conspiracies that usually show up on my grandma's facebook page and his self-proclaimed talent of "dispensing Ls". And some of his GG shit in the GAF thread.

I don't know what should be done with him but the most recent impression he's left on the community has been awful.

[Rusty Shackleford]

Banning seems to go against the self-policing ethos that folks here should be proud of. I think the bigger problem is some of the new juniors 1) posting solely in the gaf thread and 2) posting politics in the GAF thread despite multiple polite requests from other members to take it to the appropriate thread.

The new guys that have been posting elsewhere on the site seem fine.

[Mr. Gundam]

Nah, he don't deserve the good stuff.

You can't have it both ways, can you? If you want to rely on members to keep each other in line, then you're gonna have some 'tards spouting off. If you don't like what they have to say and shaming isn't enough, then you'll have to start bouncing them. Where do you draw the line?

[etiolate]

What'd he do? I assume this is related to That One Thread I never post in.

Because they have a 1000 pages of mocking GAF for being a safe space that bans opposing opinions and I gave them the opposing view so they want to ban me.

Though Cyndi is a different case. You can read her post history and see her freak out when called alt-right by the worst new member Swollen Members and then do a 180 to appease ResetEra expectations.

Bullshit. This had nothing to do with him and everything to do with people abandoning GAF and finding to opportunity to speak in a similar forum after years of being silent. If they knew about thebore before they would have come here already. I constantly offend liberal sensibilities too for different reasons and never gave a shit about him.

And btw Himuro this is getting worrying, first you propose to close the GAF thread because Resetera is now perfect and fixed, a conclusion you reached after 3. fucking. days. of the forum existing and now to ban eliatolate or whatever his nick is. If you want to fuck off to the other forum that is so great and and perfect do that, afterall you always seemed that you would be happier in a more ban-happy place. Just my 2 cents.

[team filler]

If you outlaw eitiolate, then only outlaws will have etiolate.

[etiolate]

Yeah to blame me for the new members then you would have to credit me for burning down GAF.

I'm no that powerful

[Freyj]

Ban etoilet and ban everyone else who registered after NeoGAF took a dump a week ago.

Anyone whose post ratio is overwhelming in the GAF thread probably isn’t worth keeping around tbh.

Not like I’m some prolific poster but using this place as a shitting grounds for GAF is BM. It may be a lot of shitposting but at least etoilet makes posts elsewhere.

[Steve Contra]

It's 2017, eating ass has become the millenial version of second base and y'all are still getting riled up about etiolate

[Huff]

We could always  rid of the gaf thread since gaf doesn't exist anymore.

[demi]

I'm still confused what the matter is. Ms. Mayweather's argument is that other people look at this board as some shithole red pill website. Ok, that's fine.

What would cleaning up the act solve? They have a safe space, why would they bother interacting with multiple websites?

At most it would calm you down and who knows what the next trigger word to launch you on yet another episode. Even before all this redpill bullshit you did the same exact thing before words like "gamergate" and "redpill" became this popular millenial crap.

[demi]

Is that all you want me to do? Ban these people triggering you? Would that solve everyone's problem?

Help me out here, I would certainly hate to pull an EviLore here over a forum of at most 200 members
