ResetEra when founded:
This will be a great place for everyone who got wronged on NeoGAF
ResetEra today
- Militant moderation
- NO FUN ALLOWED
- WHITE MEN ARE GUILTY
- If you don't fuck transgenders you are transphobic
- TRUMP is a Nazi *crying and screeching*
- You are basically all Nazi's unless you proof you are not by giving all your real estate to a black man and even then we're watching you because you might be a milkshake duck
- I post on a video game and pop culture message board using my iPhone X but capitalism is bad
- I'm depressed today and so should you
Just burn the whole thing down already
Why would they ever let Kirblar be a mod. Out of all the terrible mod decisions, that one sticks out really hard to me since he was a pretty low tier and not even notable poster on GAF.
A guy I know who stuck around in the staff Discords after they forgot to remove him told me this. A little while ago the carefully curated mod team of ResetEra figured out that policing a bunch of crybabies is actually a lot of work and complained about how much work it was on Discord. Some felt like quitting the thing all together and some mods aren't even active anymore, just mods in name only. To fix this they added more mods but not really the best people just the ones willing to spend time to police the board as no sane person would. Some of the mods also don't dare to question the judgment of their 'minority' co-workers because they fear the backlash and dog-piling.
Which is also why they lock threads so quickly because some don't want to waste too much time modding the damn thing and why mods with the most time on their hands can basically enjoy their power trip without being second guessed by fellow mods.
Their dream has ended anyway. They thought that on ResetEra the industry insiders that once roamed GAF would return. But the old posters have since already left. Basically joined to say hi and watched the Marxist/transgender/Nintendo orgy and ran for the hills.
If they manage to chase away the sales agers (of which the signs all already there) they've basically cast out all their most valuable members faster than the elf ever did. All they have left is the sales people, Nintendo hype threads and the drunk/intoxicated posts of HALO man.
