Just caught up. Holy shit and not surprised at all @ the Kingdom Come thread. REEEE is probably worse than GAF was at its prime, and in record time too.

And yet you post there despite my love for you.

I'm arguing with Messofanego on twitter about the Assassins creed discovery mode and he's actually throwing down "artistic vision" as a counter. What a hypocrite lol.

Ah, right. I forgot that came out. I should see if the version they supposedly were releasing on Steam for free is available.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/775430/Discovery_Tour_by_Assassins_Creed_Ancient_Egypt/

$19.99 for a virtual tour/museum trip to Ancient Egypt.

I hope that's part of the base-game with the season pass bullshit.

I'm 25, and I believe I'm living one of thebest lives there is. I imagine myself in the body of some of my friends, and realize I would kill myself soon after.

Emphasis on feeling since I don't think I'm actually depressed and that may sound offensive to people who really suffer from this problem.

Goddamn.  Suicidal and clearly not in a good place right now but still knows they are damn well expected to make sure they don't offend anyone on Reset.

It's part of it without the season pass.

Think I listened to half of the stuff in it. Most of it is so surface level you might as well just read the wiki page on ancient egypt. (Or put the words ancient egypt into youtube and laugh at the insanity.)

wtf? are you the actual SG-17? The one that wanted surveillance for internet trolling?

[Averon]

You have to wonder how many Resetters are like SG-17 who take the most progressive/cringy/woke position possible just to fit in and those who are true believers. The peer pressure to conform is constant and oppressive on ERA and formerly GAF. I would not be surprised if many of those people don't really believe what they are saying.

Not voting against Trump is an act of disrespect against your fellow man worldwide. It retroactively diminishes any respect I might have had for someone in the past.

Well, I'm going to get the game eventually when Ubisoft puts <= to $30. I mean I have the rest of the series because I'm a fan. So I figured the "educational" stand-alone mode would be free, but $20 just for it.

Yeah, they're totally deleting posts. I was looking to see Plagerize's post and it's gone along with a bunch of others. So much for that "Transparency" bullshit they claimed they were going to do.

I'm an idiot and didn't check the right page. 

As it says in the warning, Derrick01 got banned for continuing to troll other memebers, something which they have recievied numerous warnings and bans for. This post is not the sole thing that led to a ban.

People had not done what Derrick01 accused them of. Derrick01 did not comment on the sales numbers of this game, and instead wrote broad criticisms of huge numbers of our members based on things they failed to provide an example of (the example they gave did not show someone calling people that bought the game Nazis etc).

If you have any questions about moderation and think something was inappropriate, please contact a moderator or an admin via PM, or put in a report, as we don't have time to read every post and can miss such posts.



If you're banning Derrick01 for that, ban everyone else kneejerking in that thread as if the buyers are all alt-right, then, you jackass.

I have a Gadsden's Flag on my recycle bin 

My next door neighbor flies a Gadsden flag over the American flag. They also leave their dogs outside for about 12 hours a day, where they bark incessantly (literally, they bark for HOURS straight at a time, often as early as 6 AM, despite there being no people or animals around for them to be barking at, and in the middle of a neighborhood that is mostly retirees and has a HOA) and they don't give a shit at all about neighbors screaming out of their windows to get their dogs under control. They also like to burn shit at all times of the day, all times of the year, not giving a shit that they have neighbors 10 feet away on all 3 sides that have to get blasted with the smoke of whatever they're burning.

They're such fucking cunts and the day after Trump won, they put weird survivalist magazines/catalogs in everyone's paper boxes. 

What kinda HOA is letting these goofballs get away with burning shit and barking dogs all the time?

[nudemacusers]

I live on a mil base and without fail anyone with a gadsen flag on their truck or property has a trashy yard.

[Optimus]

Oh my fucking god, they made Llyrwenne a mod, who is a trans poster as unhinged as Sweet Nicole. Holy shit. She's probably the one responsible for some of the recent INSANE bans.

This is like a repeat of how Evilore completely lost control of the forum but in fast forward. The forum now exceeds even my expectations.

[Uncle]

but because she's friends with Sweet Nicole... it's so Kafkaesque.

All I know is this means somebody's probably turning into a cockroach

[HaughtyFrank]

Proof that she's crazy. Long essay incoming (because she can't ever help herself even though nobody fucking cares) so just read bolded parts if you desire.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

I appreciate everything you do, I really do, but I very strongly believe that we are not 'going to get there' with current moderation policies.

I've seen people get second chances that they absolutely did not deserve based on the offending post and / or their post history. There are a fair few posters that consistently post shitty things or are shitty to others, but because they never have that one single post that would be considered 'actionable' on its own, they're allowed to get away with it. There have been several posts that I would view as clearly over the line, yet when reported either nothing happens or I get told that it is 'unactionable' - one of the more recent of these was a poster continuing behavior in one thread that he was told to stop by a member from the mod/admin team and then warned for for continuing anyway in another (now locked) thread.

An example that I feel comfortable giving here because the person in question is perma-banned now anyway;

In the Jim Sterling thread, someone called Jim an 'obese cuck'. The user got a perma-ban, not for that insult, but for being an alt account. Why wasn't the content of the post itself enough for a perma-ban? Why should someone who makes an unprovoked direct attack on another member of this forum, using alt-right terminology, be welcomed back at any point? Why should I feel comfortable posting in a thread where they are posting too? This wasn't a heated debate about something controversial - it was an unprovoked hateful attack. That they would've been allowed to come back at any point if they hadn't been an alt-account just sends me a message that unprovoked hateful attacks like that are OK so long as you 'don't do it again'. I know that that isn't the message you want to send, but it is the message that I receive.

I get the desire to give people a second chance. I really do. I understand why it is important. But you should also be able to recognize that some people just clearly do not deserve a second chance, let alone a third or fourth.

One user on this site has gotten a warning, a 1-week ban, a 48-hour ban, and has several questionable posts in between. He decided to continue his trollish and shitty behavior this past weekend. I would have assumed his chances were more than spent at this point - he had been repeatedly warned / banned for the same behavior and consistently returned to that behavior after returning from those bans, something that already should've provoked a much harsher response when he did it again after his first ban.

Yet he was just given another chance - another temporary 1-week ban. Why?

I reported that member through their profile with the request to make their current ban permanent. I was told that it had been discussed by the moderation team, who passed it on to the admin team, and now an admin told me that the mod team captains will look at it. At this point I have very little faith that anything will actually happen before the current temporary ban expires. And the pessimist in me says that when it expires I'll probably get told that they now can't 'just ban him outright' and that I'll just have to wait until he inevitably resumes his shitty posting behavior.

All of this just pushes me away because I just don't know anymore. I'm hesitant to report things because I simply do not know where the line is for the mod team to consider something 'actionable' - I only know that that line clearly isn't where it should be. I'm posting less, because I don't feel like putting energy into this forum when people can just be shitty and get away with it with the frequency they do now - because I just don't feel that current moderation policies are in the long run going to create a community that I want to be part of.

[close]

Yeah, Resetera wasn't extreme enough for this person back in December. Glad she's now a fucking moderator! Way to let the crazy people run the asylum! I used to reject her reports allllllll the time, she is in no way fit to be telling people what to say.

I mean THERE WAS LITERALLY MOD AND ADMIN CONSENSUS that her perspective of what was bannable was INCORRECT relative to the values of the forum, but because she's friends with Sweet Nicole... it's so Kafkaesque.

Oh fuck...

[LurkinMerkin]

He is literally an obese cuck though...

One that is headed up by old people that don't want to confront people who likely have a house full of guns

Wait so you pay your fee and they won't bother even talking to those dickheads? What the fuck is the point in having an HOA if they're not gonna do anything about shit like this?

[Uncle]

I can't imagine doing THAT MUCH modding is good for anybody's mental state.  Unless they truly revel in it.  And anyone doing that should not be a mod.

The best mods describe it as exhausting, stressful janitorial work.  I can't imagine most of them are happy with the way things are going behind the scenes, other than the insane ones.

I don't see why they can't just bring in a paid team of community managers, and tell admins that they aren't allowed to do any moderating. It's pretty clear something isn't working since people are cycling in and out of moderator positions faster than a cheap hooker at a premature ejaculators convention. Do they think everything is going great or something?

Just get some people from like the Philippines to do it for cheap if money is a concern. Faceless moderators who just keep a discussion on track, rather than engage in opinion enforcement.

It would just be gulag jokes in all my warnings though

Don’t think the mods are perfect. In fact, we’ve complained to them on discord for not being harsher with permabanning racists and sexists and transphobes, but a lot of them try their best.
