And like clockwork Parallax shows up to call me racist and snipe at me while never posting here for months at a time unless I mention the BCT.

Why don't you go back to that shitty Discord, loser? :-*

not on the discord, not on the bct either. its just funny to see that although you are STILL railing against them as if it means anything. but being  self aware isnt a real thing in this thread. and ive made peace with that. still though, theres the option to block me, and you can continue your rage filled platitudes without seeing me come at you for being someone who claims not to care, but still has plenty to say anyway

Parallax is cool, hope he posts more this time.

ouch...but yeah i get it. most of time life gets in the way of blind hatred of a place i dont really visit


:lol timu so racist he's seeing phantom accusations of racism

hes becoming what he hates. a bct poster

So when is the BCT revolution happening? I’m in for the drama.

Never. They'll bitch and moan while still following RE like the rest of us.

Pretty much. Is kind of sad, really.

We are fucked to eternally repeat this.

One of biggest problems with the BCT people is that they want Reee/GAF to be TheColi 2.0. It is like a 4channer migrating to Reee and complaining that they are getting banned/warned for saying 'cigarillo' or make light of school shooters.

but I think it's way too early to give up considering what this community has been through previously.

it was so brave of them to take the underground railroad from GAF and discords to Reee  :doge

They brought a rich culture with them using woke black twitter memes to secretly communicate to fellow weary travelers.

Diz was trying to arrange some sort of Dungeons and Dragons shit with the BCT where he was the dungeon master just earlier today. So how different are the BCT from the rest of these weebs (and us).

They’re just losers that are allowed to say the n word.

Also I’ve never heard of a black person playing D&D and don’t really appreciate the cultural appropriation.

How dare you question their god-given rights to call everyone nicca and call women bitches? This isn't a super-progressive forum it claims to be.

BCT is going to ruin another forum with nonstop witchhunting, I love it

They don't even stop to consider that maybe, just maybe all the 'racists' you are talking about aren't even racists. Just normal people with a point of view you disagree with.

Like a blanket 'DON'T CALL THE COPS ON BLACK PEOPLE' policy is fucking stupid. Only a moron would think it's a good idea

The mod team could, you know, just not listen to them as I’m pretty sure even Slayven is aware on how ridiculous can get. But that would require effort to actually coordinate the moderation, agree in no playing favorites and agreeing you are not going to change the world by defending Marvel films.

TheColi can be really transphobic, sexist and what have you so they can't go there, RE apparently doesn't crack down on racism enough, and the bore is infected with the hate crimes of Stonewall Timu. There they at least have their community thread.

That's the logic I'd assume.

thats pretty much tlr. its race wars/sex wars constantly with some daily fuckery mixed in.

Enzom-posting gets you two weeks

https://www.resetera.com/threads/another-racist-couldnt-resist-the-urge-to-show-their-ass-over-twitter.43547/#post-8093501

He must be crying right now

His mistake was that he was being way too upfront and literal. Enzom's genius is his ability to accuse you of wanting to call him a nicca without being blatant about it. Basically, Enzom perfected "you ain't slick", "tell us want you really mean", "go on" line of attack.

Last few months = half the site’s lifespan. I can only hope those targeted can find a more inclusively woke forum.

I'm announcing a spin-off forum called restartera. It'll be a blend of traditional forum based posting, livestreaming, and groupons for select movies.
Will you ban racists tho


Also where are all these people leaving resetera going? Waypoint? That place is borderline parody.

which would mean taking it off the table for ever.ry.body. See, this is the kind of shit that we have to think about as mods. We have to think about consistency.


This is what pisses off BCT the most, the idea that the mods even attempt to put on the appearance of impartiality.

Just a few more forum implosions and community splinterings and maybe they'll finally curate themselves down to the 200 or so most boring, bland, inoffensive people possible.

They'll become the yang to the Bore's yin and the Gaming-Age Forum multiverse will finally find balance.

When you gave a sub-community a different set of rules and plenty of leeway to get away with stuff any other user would not be able to, what did you expect would eventually happen? It's like spoiling a kid for years then getting all shocked when that kid rudely talks back to you when you immediately don't give them what they want. Stop giving the BCT hive special treatment and all this drama will eventually go away. They either get with the program or fuck off to TheColi or some other splinter group.

The coli is way too problematic for resetera users, unless they were acting woke/hiding opinions to avoid being banned, and nobody would ever do that.

ironically i just got this e-mail, i didn't even know Obama nominated "him":
Quote
Attn: Beneficiary,


My name is "George Lucas". I am the New Secretary of the Treasury under the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The executive agency responsible for promoting economic prosperity and ensuring the financial security of the United States. I was confirmed by the United States Senate on February 27, 2013, to serve as the 76th Secretary of the Treasury. Prior to my appointment as the 76th Secretary of the Treasury, I have previously served as White House Chief of Staff.



However, the good news here is that following the resolution of the meeting held with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the United Nations, an agreement was reached that the sum of $6,500.000.00 USD must be paid out to you in the form of a compensation. This compensation funds according to the World Bank instruction will be paid to those that have been Scammed, such as beneficiaries of Lottery winning, Contract/inheritance fund, Retired Civil Servants and etc. Hence, by virtue of my position as the 76th Secretary of the Treasury, I have irrevocably instructed the Federal Reserve Board to approve your compensation fund release via issuance of a CERTIFIED CHECK drawn on the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which is the authorized bank for your fund release.



Therefore, as a former White House Chief of Staff under the Obama Administration, I wish to state categorically that a CERTIFIED CHECK of $6,500.000.00 USD drawn on the Federal Reserve Bank of New York will be issued and sent to you via the U.S. Postal Service at no cost to you. Every and all cost associated with the delivery of the CHECK has been pre-paid by the U.S. Government. The only cost associated with your fund release is the cost of processing a "Fund Clearance Certificate", which is estimated to the value of $150.00 USD. The "Fund Clearance Certificate" is required in accordance with the U.S. Monetary Policy; and it is the ONLY expenses you will incur before the CHECK will be sent to your mailing address. Hence, you are advised to send the $150.00 USD via Western Union or MoneyGram  to "" LYNN BRENNAN ""who is the nominated receiver for the $150.00 USD. The wiring details is stated below:


Receiver:Lynn Brennan  .
Receiver's Location:Wildwood crest NJ 08260 . USA
Amount: $150.00 USD



You can get more facts about the U.S. Department of the Treasury on this link http://www.treasury.gov/about/Pages/Secretary.aspx
Please get back to me with a quick confirmation of your mailing address and the payment slip for the $499.86 USD .



Yours Sincerely,
George Lucas
Secretary of the Treasury

Quote from: BossAttack, post: 8142067, member: 16745
I'll just jump on to the tail end of this discussion. As has been reiterated, I'm not trying to insult any mods or paint anyone with a broad stroke. I'm just relaying some issues I've come up with regarding moderation policy.

First off, I think one of the main problems with the old place was the inconsistent modding policy. You'd have the TOS which everyone was required to abide by, but then you'd have an unofficial set of rules that you essentially had to learn on the fly or get clapped. Of course, this unofficial and later very inconsistent modding policy led to many frustrations. Now, ResetEra has much better and "transparent" moderation that the old place. But, there still remain what I see as this same sort of "unofficial" rule list that individuals have to learn through either practice and/or observation or result in a ban.

Secondly, as others have noted, there are numerous cases where individuals will come into racial threads or other types of charged social discussions and post outlandish shit using coded language and dog whistles. These posts can only serve to rile up members who face such social issues on a daily basis. Yet, when they respond in a manner deemed to emotional  or "hostile" they'll get shackled with a ban while the provoker gets to sit back and clasp their hands in a smile, untouched. You can see posts like these even in that "Gasper Noe-Black Panther" thread in which posters go out of their way to tell other black posters that classifying all black music as "R&B" isn't racist and people (black folk) are just looking for controversy. How exactly can moderation expect most users to implore self-restraint and not go off on such individuals?

Now, I've learned to just take a breath and not take the bait. But, that has also involved me typically just not engaging in such discussions. One such earlier ban I received basically put me off from such engagements, I'll post the gist of it (I'm hoping that's allowed in this discussion):

I forget the main topic of the thread, but essentially a poster from either Scotland or Ireland was suggesting that no real racism or racial tensions existed in the country. Now, I thought this was an outrageous claim and eventually asked them, "are you a nicca?" This was done for two reasons A) the poser never made it clear if they were a minority and specifically black and thus could justify such a wild claim and B) to intentionally respond in a manner fitting to such a outrageous claim (ie "the fuck you just say?"). This poster then responded along the lines of "what?" At which point I repeated the same question. They then answered that they were in fact black (side-eye glance) but didn't initially respond because they considered the word offensive (double side-eye plus eye-roll) and me essentially an asshole for using it. Naturally, I was banned for asking my initial question since it was considered "hostile."

The end result of such situations makes one feel like a kid when you're just sitting there as someone repeatedly pokes you with a stick until you finally reach around, grab it from their hands, and tell them "to stop poking you with the fucking stick!" After which you immediately get chastised by an adult/parent for your tone and told to sit in time out while the stick poker gets to keep playing with his stick. It's hard to keep cool when someone keep poking you. And, it would be nice if there were clearer guidelines on how to respond to such stirrers of controversy beyond "be civil."
