The thing though is that while bans are spiking, ERA is not ditching a ton of perms / really long bans yet, are they ?

A few months from now it will be clear if they continue to see growth or have reached their userbase cap though it got very slow already without the moderation.

But I think GAF is far too tainted and gone under current ownership to ever recapture large contingents from ERA. It's been said a lot but big forums are a bit of a vestigial affair. Users will flee to Reddit or other platforms, probably.

Are people really come back after a month for being actioned due to bad faith contempt of official mod orders?

There is a reason people get stuck in abusive relationships.

Deroir probably didn't think he was being condescending or rude, or that he was mansplaining, but his comments still were those things, and when he was called out by her, he exploded and it was he who played the victim card. I don't understand why she, a woman who has probably suffered of microaggressions such as this, has the obligation of educating people on this topic. This is like asking black people to educate and have patience with racists.

Anyone claiming GamerGate has no involvement here is either hopeless naive, or a GamerGater runniing the ol' "wasn't me" script. It'd be great if the administration here didn't allow the second one to be done, but for a forum founded around the concept of believing woman that have been harassed, it sure seems to have turned it's back on them already and now you have to carefully manage what you say along the lines of the ol "Republicans buy shoes too" shlock. Interesting how in women's issues threads, the women here have to fucking do everything themselves with a bunch of men telling them something isn't happening, with no help from the administration, and the result is Era is losing multiple long time women posters every week because they are fucking tired of having to "careful" with their honesty and viewpoints so that it doesn't hurt the feelings of Era's ad clickers.
Scathing, and really sad if true. (I haven't been participating in a lot of hot button threads. I think YouKnowWhere taught me that was for the best.)

Take physicians for instance, are you gonna tell him how to do his job for which he or she studied for years, and you have at most read some things in Wikipedia? No, you aren't. Or at least you'd have the decency of trusting his or her experience and not annoy the hell out him or her.

So the physician is male?  :doge

The funny thing is that doctors, who had to endure years of difficult and expense education, get into twitter debates all the time with people about medical topics. But don't politely talk to someone with zero specialised education about writing dialog for a videogame. THE FUCKING NERVE!

I thought you were supposed to have a dialogue with your doctor and work together, not say nothing and blindly do whatever they say? Especially when it comes to prescription drugs where the pharmacist acts as yet another check against the doctors decision. Or decisions about surgery which isn't foolproof magic.

I learn a lot from ERA, just more typical moderate media lies. And by media I don't mean any related to gaming. I would never vilify them.

Quote from: Kirblar
Its a shame "Virtue Signalling" got coopted by rhe far right just like PC/SJW cause the original neutral conception of the term was legitimately useful.
:thinking

I do find this funny, because what is really meant by 'co-opt' is, people on the right started using the terms, and people on the left stopped using them through fear of being incorrectly identified as a Nazi. I mean, 4chan pretended the OK hand gesture was a symbol of white power and some of those people who swallowed the bait talked about feeling reluctant to do the hand gesture because of it.

It really doesn't take much to 'co-opt' anything.

Good point.

I think he means the terms aimed at 'liberals' in general rather than a particular type of person. That said, what someone on RE would say constitutes being a good liberal, and what constitutes an SJW maybe be a little blurry. I do wonder how much of it actually reflects their own world view to begin with. There are plenty of people out there who have no problem using the term despite calling themself a liberal. To have such an aversion to it, as some of them do on RE, just because some people on the right use it, strikes me as hitting a little bit too close to home.

It was never addressed by the gaming community at large. the last big attempt to address the issue that gained any traction was when Anita Sarkeesin started a video series on women in games.
what would "addressing it [at large]" even look like? actually before we get to that, what would the goals even look like? what would our success metrics be?

Honestly, it isn't just gaming community. It is the society at large. Gamergate are basically same guys (or if not literally same, then the same type) as neo-nazis, white supremacist, alt-right, etc.
Anita failed us so much.

Funny thing is that before ~2012 things on the internet were far, FAR worse but no one gave a shit because there weren't so many snowflakes. Telling others to kill themselves or that you'd murder their pet wasn't even considered a "death threat", it was just trolling and people mostly ignored it because they knew they're just empty threats. I've received WAY more "death threats" on the old internet than the new boring one.

Well the "old internet" was almost entirely people posting anonymously behind usernames and avatars.

Like you'd be insane to use your real name;  early MySpace even was largely people using usernames and whatnot.   There was SOME doxxing but it was far more dififcult.

Then normy non nerds flooded the internet posting under their real name and things changed fast;  not only were they not used to being "trolled" but they revealed too much about themselves.   When you've been on IRC since you were 12 and someone says they'll kill you on a message board under the name SmokesPole420 it doesn't have the same effect as when you are new to the interent posting under your real name and someone else using their real name does the same.

Still largely could be ignored, vast majority of death threats are people being keyboard warriors but things are pretty different.


I mean, they're also doing it for anonymous accounts now, reddit for example is banning people for "death threats"or "harassment" even when it's obviously satire.

Anyone who thinks that TB deserves the level of derision that is leveled against him is a fucking moron. People treat him like he was a serial rapist or something. It's fucking insane.

I have not followed this thing much but what are they even whining about?

I'm not here to educate you.  :maf

Yes, pretty much the gist of it. because he didn't trip over himself to virtue signal against GG early on, he became a pariah. The funny thing is he became hated by GG as well.

Dear Reset people who are lurking this thread.  In case you missed it, your site has banned over 3,000 people since the middle of April.  Does that sound like a healthy or progressive community?

I mean, if they were banning people like Optimus yes.


Well, thank God they're keeping sociopathic shutins like you there instead, it's obviously working great. Just look at what a great community it turned out to be!

Sounds like spineless moderation to me.

I still don't know what Gamergate was and what it was all about. And I'm damn happy about that :success

From what I've gathered from GAF sofar, Gamergate is responsible for the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria.
