There is no need to prove that these successes are of supreme importance for the fate of our forum, for the whole of the general membership, which is the directing force of our forum, and, lastly for the prominent membership itself. To say nothing of the direct practical results, these successes are of immense value for the internal life of the prominent membership itself, for the education of our prominent membership. They imbue our prominent membership with a spirit of cheerfulness and confidence in its strength. They arm the general membership with confidence in the victory of our cause. They bring forward additional millions of reserves for our prominent membership.

Hence the prominent membership's task is to consolidate the successes achieved and to utilise them systematically for our further advancement.

But the successes have their seamy side, especially when they are attained with comparative “ease” — “unexpectedly” so to speak. Such successes sometimes induce a spirit of vanity and conceit: “We can achieve anything!”, “There is nothing we can’t do!” People not infrequently become intoxicated by such successes; they become dizzy with success, lose all sense of proportion and the capacity to understand realities; they show a tendency to overrate their own strength and to underrate the strength of the enemy; adventurist attempts are made to solve all questions of internet posting “in a trice.” In such a case, there is no room for concern to consolidate the successes achieved and to utilise them systematically for further advancement. Why should we consolidate the successes achieved when, as it is, we can dash to the full victory of posting “in a trice”: “We can achieve anything!”, “There is nothing we can’t do!”

Hence the prominent membership’s task is to wage a determined struggle against these sentiments, which are dangerous and harmful to our cause, and to drive them out of the membership.

This is how you pack a bunch of shit into a bunch of words.

Anyway, Kirblar got banned probably for comparing the change to the Iraq War.

lol at Kirblar comparing a dumb change on a video game forum to a war that killed millions of people. stupidest possible thing he could have been banned for but at least it was deserved

look where they put his ban message: https://www.resetera.com/threads/announcement-forum-restructuring-scheduled-for-this-sunday-night.65713/page-14#post-12124681
 

[Nintex]

I know the feeling because I saw it happen w/ Iraq II and Bush, where the war was planned before he even took office and nothing anyone said mattered, the only question was how to sell it.

[Averon]

Duration pending usually ends up as a perm, but I'm half expecting Kirbar to weasel his way out of one regardless.

[benjipwns]

why are people complaining about the moderators shutting down and avoiding "discussion", they shouldn't be tolerant to intolerant views or providing a platform to hateful ones, that's how the Nazi's win

[benjipwns]

There was some delay because after the reversion this morning, our staff was exhausted, some went to sleep after being up for 30 hours (not exaggerating), and it fell to me to decide which one to reopen.

https://www.resetera.com/posts/12199227

What the fuck.

How did adding 2 categories take 30 hours? 

Between battling trolls from some of the most nefarious online forums, including 4chan’s /pol/ section, and dealing with the fallout from NeoGAF’s drama, many of the former NeoGAF moderators announced they were working on a new website: ResetEra. Those who didn’t want to be associated with NeoGAF anymore could jump ship to continue chatting with many of the same names they recognized from the original site.

Many of the people we spoke to described ResetEra as an opportunity to redefine what moderation culture looks like from the ground up. Without worrying about Malka’s presence and reputation, they would be able to set their own rules and guidelines, operating under the internal rules they agreed upon in the earliest of planning stages. Big industry names and notorious ex-NeoGAF moderators, including Erren Van Duine, Emily Rogers, Nibellion and Shinobi602 all joined ResetEra with hopes of building a bigger and better forum for the community to thrive in — one that wouldn’t be associated with NeoGAF.

Shinobi602, a known member who stepped back from NeoGAF in March, told Polygon that, for the most part, ResetEra’s moderation and administrative sides will be full of new faces, alongside those notable to longtime followers.

“We see this as a fresh start and an opportunity to build our own moderation culture and aren't really looking for comparisons,” Shinobi602 said. “We hope to be genuinely fair minded, reasonable and transparent. We really want to shape a positive community for everyone. A few moderators may be familiar but for the most part the staff has no connection with other forum staff.”

Shinobi602 said the full staff will be announced “soon,” but he wouldn’t divulge the list at the time of this writing. Part of that is because one of the biggest concerns that many early ResetEra members have is personal security.

Shinobi602 told Polygon that ResetEra staff was prepared for the new wave of attacks on the site (once it goes live) and their community. Part of the way ResetEra’s team is looking to combat any serious harm is by sending out invites to the site in waves, vetting newcomers before opening it up to the public.

Although it’s not a permanent solution to the problem, which moderators are well aware will last for a longer period of time, Shinobi602 is hoping this strategy will at least let the site launch without too many problems.

“Obviously we knew there would be those who would want to harm our community in any way they can from the start, unfortunate as that is,” Shinobi602 said. “We've been working very hard to protect them and will have all hands on deck working to ensure that the launch proceeds as safely and smoothly as possible.”

It’s unclear just how strict the vetting process will be when ResetEra launches, but one member told Polygon that conversation with people on the outside is kept to a minimum, to stop other stories from getting out.

The effort to keep the conversation clean and members out of harm’s way requires an extraordinary amount of work, with one member of the locked ResetEra Discord telling Polygon that “those behind the new forum are putting in a ton of effort, the ‘not sleeping a lot’ type of effort.” Shinobi602 told Polygon that although it’s been a strenuous affair, they wanted to do it as a collective; to help house their homeless community.

“Thousands of members of the community were suddenly stranded without any place to go,” Shinobi602 said. “It's really a sight to see so many people gather to create something like this. That community has come together to make this happen.”

People were sad for the original NeoGAF community they lost, one anonymous member said, adding that “this was a community that, despite its issues, was a positive thing for a ton of people for over a decade.” That sense of loss didn’t stop people from coming together in the late hours of Saturday night and wee hours of Sunday morning to start working on something new.

“People are super excited for something new and a change of pace,” Shinobi602 said. “We've had so many people volunteer to help and roll up their sleeves and that response has just been overwhelming. It's clear that we're determined to stick together and make this happen.”

No one would tell Polygon when ResetEra is launching, as the site staff is still figuring it out. But early members noted that as of the time of this writing, the forum is gearing up to go live between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. ET — around the time of Nintendo’s latest Direct. The near-simultaneous occurrence of these events isn’t lost on the community, which told Polygon that the coincidence was almost poetic in nature. After suffering through the loss of a home, lost NeoGAF members getting a new Animal Crossing game to animatedly discuss with friends on a website built in the original forum’s image seemed just right.

what cut of the llc money do shinobi, nibel, and zhuge get? thats what i want to know

kinda assumes there's any profit left after all the server costs, plus paying those two or three admins who actually do everything for them, especially now that people are canceling their eraclear subscriptions

I already have an uncomfortable feeling ITT. Doesn't feel like it's been made in good faith at all. It's just one person's opinion- no need to laugh at them for it at all.

I have to wonder why even make this thread at all, unless you just want us to shit on this dude nobody here knows.

Why do you keep posting this? It looks like damage control.

i don't know what i'm supposed to be doing, this thread is too confusing to the orders about playing the war tactically?!? what threads should i be bumping in response, someone help!

[VomKriege]

It's back up, all threads about it have been locked and Cerium explained that they undid the changes because they were too successful.

Unfortunately, we underestimated just how much impact this would have on thread list congestion. The renewed activity was beyond our expectations and ended up sidelining everything else, especially in the Entertainment section.

[bork]

Reminder that Cerium made the site in advance and already talked it out with “prominent” leakers/personalities and other community OTs before the shower incident even occurred and things on the site were perfectly fine.

They know how a site like that can be manipulated and changed out because they played the same the game.

Wait, this is new.

Cerium was plotting a palace coup way in advance?

This really changes everything.

Doesn't make sense to me.  If they had tried that before shower-gate, they wouldn't have gotten anywhere near as many people to start posting on the new forum.

It is pretty simple. Any posters with a personality that don't take everything to the ith degree either gets banned, sticks to smaller community threads, or gets peer pressured into conforming to be super serious. Any thread that could lead to some fun often gets locked for no reason. Also, certain posters that are absolute killjoys gets to shit up threads with the approval of the mods.

CrossingEden in that Cyberpunk thread is a prime example of what I am talking about. The guy side tracked the thread for 30-40 pages going on his puritanical crusade about the use of the words 'cunt' and 'pussy'. Did he get banned or warned? No. He and his little gang were allowed to shit up that thread until they got bored doing so.

edit: Also, the mods have proven to be completely incapable of inferring/reading context and sarcasm. Far too often, they take what you say on ERA literally and seriously. I can't count the number of times an obvious, inoffensive joke post got a user a warning or even a ban because the mod doesn't understand sarcasm or context.

Yes. I cut a hole in the bottom of my large Coca-Cola and insert my penis (which is sometimes too big for the base) into the bottom of the cup. I then have my date insert the straw into the cup (which sometimes proceeds to go straight into my urethra). As they drink more and more of the soda, they start to move the straw around, dodging ice, trying to get the biggest gulp. The sensation of the straw circling my dong causes me to reach climax, and I flop around in my chair like a wet fish. I then stand up, cup still around penis, and proceed to walk through the aisle, the cup hitting everyone on the back of the head in the row in front of me. When I get back to the concession I do a hand stand and ask for a free refill.

Really they can't have fun because they don't see themselves as a video game forum. They see themselves as the forefront of social change.

[Tuckers Law]

I'm like 95% positive I saw the discord convo as a screencap because one of them was sharing it. You forget that the shower thing happened over many more days than the NeoGAF outage, so there was plenty of time for people to stew and say "why don't we just start our own forum?". They're all good people and they were just sick of the nonsense.

The fact that Resetera ends up in the same administrative standoffs on occasion probably really bums cerium out. I doubt he's having fun doing that.

Fuck em.  Cerium built up a staff of admins and mods that are such confrontational lunatics that Morrigan Stark and Slayven come out looking normal and sane in comparison.  Only Era mod I have real respect for is Fiction, and I couldn't tell you the last time I saw her post, it wouldn't surprise me if she's got a lot of hesitation in even bothering with the place.

One thing I find interesting about RE is that giving those lunatics exactly what they asked for has sort of diminished them and their influence in general. Like, they let the loonies fully take over the asylum and then chase everything else away. All along they thought neogaf was popular because of like “the BCT”, bishoptl, Emily Rogers, bronsonlee, shinobi0602, or any other rotating cast of fuckboys and girls that posted so much that they began to think that THEY were the reason that the industry came through to engage with  neogaf. But in actuality? They were the dumb shit that everyone else put up with to engage with the other normal people they didn’t make a name for themselves.

Once the forum fell apart, every one of those people is less well known as an “internet forum celebrity”. The only person I can think of that has really turned the GAF posting into something like a career is Wario64 and shinobi.

By turning resetera into such a shit show, it’s not really a place that developers engage with fans, or leaks occur, because the loonies fucked all that up and turned it into a place where they can only talk to each other.
