SALTY EX MOD ALERT

Since I'm a former GAF mod myself -- which I have to assume you knew since you were so informed about policy, why it didn't work, and who enforced it -- it's probably incorrect to assume we had an identical experience of moderation policy and application.

But if I'm to understand it your answer to my question is that you have no specific explanation or elaboration on subjects actually relevant to the thread because you thought that was all implicit already and you just wanted to chime in to additionally air old grudges and shit on the old staff.

I'm not sure I see how that contributes to making Era a more progressive and welcoming space but maybe that was also implicit in some way I'm missing.

As shit as I remembered

[BisMarckie]

I credit some of my growth and change having been raised in a house of republicans that latched on to fox news as a religion as having been a member on GAF since 2006, when i was 21.

https://www.resetera.com/posts/10743107/

vs.


Gaf's strict moderation was probably the main force that formed me into an intellectually responsible and respectful adult

[benjipwns]

lol people are taking that "safe space listen forum" idea seriously wtf i can't even

[Nintex]

I like that they stopped hiding the fact that the board is only for leftists.
You used to get grilled if you even suggested they were biased.

They're now holding their banners proud. Gotta respect that.

[Momo]

Probably only a few of those students had NeoGAF accounts and you probably had exactly the same posting style. Cyan once described his method for deciding whether or not an account was an alt, although I don't remember the specifics but it involved checking if you and the other account visited the same threads and had the same writing style.

dunno why the morons would do this when there is literally a plugin that lets you know if someone is logging in as multiple users from the same browser.

Nah I was too slick for that. Firefox for account A, Chrome for account B.

Aint no one got time for logging in and out

tbh i would have banned you in a couple of minutes with no detective work if you did this.

Took em 4 months. It was the MLS thread that got me because nobody likes MLS so two people liking the same team was too much of a coincidence

Cant imagine anyone did any detective work here, the tools to catch you near automatically without even looking for you exists and there's a high probability you would be flagged. More likely they ignored you, you were an asshole to someone and they then decided to ban your account for being a dupe. Can't really recall anyone ever being banned for duping, only seen it used as a reason to ban assholes lol

[benjipwns]

I see this said quite often here anytime someone asks why something is offensive and I honestly don't think it's very constructive. I think men (and everyone else) should be able to ask questions and/or debate over why something is or isn't considered offensive, and/or the context things are said or used. I don't think it's bad to have these conversations if everyone involved is being respectful.

Because sometimes, like this time, it's not some debate you get to have a differing opinion on.

[Bore Expert]

Cyan had and has a real job, he just also devoted a lot of time to NeoGAF because he enjoyed it. Many of the GAF mods were like this, which is why they were good.

A lot of em were scumbags actually 

[Raist]

wat
Era has most of the influence GAF had when it collapsed, which is more than Reddit or 4chan.

 

[Nintex]

I just asked my wife and she laughed. I have never met a lady complain about being called a female. Some people get offended and some people don't give a rats ass.

[Jansen]

How can Persephone bitch about how there's no discourse about sexualization in videogames when there's a fucking 400 page thread on gaming that's solely focused on that. She fucking started that thread.

Because she's a dumb biaaatch

[benjipwns]

Glad someone made a thread about this. I totally understand why a moderation team would do this, and believe me, I get how much work must go into moderating on the site, but: a centrist stance is kinda worthless in this day and age. Like, I can just go interact with brands on Twitter if I want inoffensive to everyone goofs. The reason why "the old place" was good is because the moderation team didn't just ban people based on "TOS violations". They worked really hard to create a certain vibe. It wasn't just soulless HR-esque statements and giving good users warnings or bans for calling people out on their actually toxic shit.

I'm at work so I didn't get a chance to read more than the first page, but for everyone laughing and saying "if this place isn't progressive enough then nowhere on the internet is progressive", that's exactly the point. The reason there was a mass exodus from "the old place" is because our community was so full of progressive people who saw something shitty happen and decided to act on it. Nothing has been done on ResetEra to cultivate a community as special as that, at least from what I've seen. That movement would not have happened just about anywhere else on the internet, and I surely don't think it would have happened here. That's the point.

Excuse me, he said PonyEra AND MagicEra. Not all Magic players are deviant MLP horse fuckers, some of us them only watch proper Christian horsegirl animes.

[benjipwns]

Sorry, Persephone. This problem isn’t going away unless the mods and administration stop running this place like reddit. This place isn’t progressive or left leaning.

[nudemacusers]

The forum is one admin twitter search away from implosion

[Drainage]

Someone called the shower elf a womanizer, he can finally retire.

[HaughtyFrank]

Wrongthinkers are allowed to post in that thread and the forum Hazmat team only gives them week long bans which gives a very problematic impression to the thousands of developers that get feedback from Resetera.

I'd love to know what their dream forum would look like. That thread is already nothing more than  just pointing at designs of Japanese games and saying "gross"

[benjipwns]

i'm starting to think some of these people have never actually been on reddit

[BisMarckie]

i'm starting to think some of these people have never actually been on reddit

I think spending time on the internet on other sites than ResetEra, Waypoint and Teen Vogue is a little bit suspect.

[Bravotyler]

Realize that most women have suffered rape or sexual assault, or at least harassment for being a woman at some point. Let that color your thoughts and replies.

[benjipwns]

I think calcium is starting to understand what drove the elf away from his own forum and lead to his eventual euro sexual assault tour. Expect calcium to take a sabbatical only to be found in a thai cave exposed as an elderly english pedophile

[stufte]

Reee more influential than Reddit? What? Show me the thread on Reee where President Obama signed up to do an AMA. What threads on Reee get turned into anything of cultural significance like they do on Reddit or even 4chan. GAF at least made it into a few video games and was the highest referrer to the Clinton website, Reee has NONE of that. What a bunch of losers.

[Joe Molotov]

Unless alt-right Reddit trolls are the ones calling for harsher moderation to keep us fragmented and unable to fight together for important social causes like  Disney's James Gunn's Marvel Cinematic Universe.

User warned: Villifying Jason Schreier's journalism.

[Nintex]

We went from FHUTA to 'female' is offensive in less than 2 decades.

2006 - NeoGAF popularizes FHUTA

2009 - NeoGAF (Nintex) creates Dudebro by creating a fake game cover and by extension modern toxic masculinity culture and the alt-right are born

After user Arpharmd B accused him of being a pedophile, Cuyahoga responded by saying, “So, I’m a pedophile because I don’t want to play Dudebro, My Shit is Fucked Up So I Got to Shoot/Slice You II: It’s Straight-Up Dawg Time? To throw around these sort of accusations at someone who seeks to do something different suggests quite the insecurity on your part.”

The title caught everyone’s attention immediately. After a bit of discussion about it and user [Nintex] mocked up a fake game cover,

2012 - Wii U flops

2014 - GamerGate!

2015 - Nazi's return from the moon, disguise themselves as YouTube streamers and academics

2016 - NeoGAF becomes the top referral for HillaryClinton.com. Campaign manager Amir0x send to prison for being a pedo

2017 - ResetEra spins off from NeoGAF after #showergate

2018 - The word 'female' is offensive calls for a massive culling of the community

 

[Jansen]

Well EXCUSE me but as a male I've also been assaulted and permanently scarred by the fat girls down the street showing me their titties when I was a little kid

[benjipwns]

I wonder how we can go about convincing more women to join the site - I know it may be a bit difficult as some women feel a bit uneasy here but I really think that having more women on this site would really help with having a more even and understanding community.

more fee-males

[jorma]

What? I literally just asked my wife because I have never heard someone saying referring to a chick as a female is derogatory. How is that trolling?

 

[HaughtyFrank]

Pointing out that not everyone has a problem with the term female is now trolling and downplaying misogyny.

https://www.resetera.com/posts/10743349

[benjipwns]

I would like to hear from the women admins and moderators what sort of direction they envision for this site.

I appreciate that the founding of RE also brought with a highly diverse admin and moderation group. If we're the crewing swinging the oars, then we need the captain or the person in the crow's nest telling us the best path to take.

VIDEO GAME DISCUSSION FORUM

[VomKriege]

ResetERA : half the time these posts don't even get dog pilled.

[Bravotyler]

However, I would disagree that Era is hostile towards women, and even minorities like myself.

That's simply not something men get to decide.

[Boredfrom]

How can Persephone bitch about how there's no discourse about sexualization in videogames when there's a fucking 400 page thread on gaming that's solely focused on that. She fucking started that thread.

Being fair, she probably realizes that the thread is some sort of quarentine area

[paprikastaude]

I can vouch for Waypoint. They declared themselves the Lisa Simpsons of game sites, so they are definitely on the safe side.

[stufte]

Woemen.

[Bravotyler]

GAF mods did an alright job at best. They played favorites with people they liked (certain users & communities basically had mod-immunity), and targeted users they disliked.

But you just described era's moderation

MODS MODS MODS BUT NOT TOO MUCH YOU AIN'T SLICK EITHER

I think they mean in regard to gaming? Which even then is debatable. Reddit has some massive gaming communities. I’d say most subreddits for games outlive/are more popular than their RE OTs.

cerium must have an alt he posts with, the cerium account is 415 posts of housekeeping matters

cerium is too busy pming people to joing era at gaf under his/her alt.

This type of post needs automatic action if the poster doesn't back it up.

How the hell will Reset survive of Dems don't take the House this fall 
ERA is not even a year old, and it is already on the edge of implosion.

User Banned (2 Weeks): Trolling, downplaying misogyny.

Holy shit.

As for Vetting, is there no way for admins to actually build up a Vetting System like Facebook groups do? Drop a few questions on the user who registered that need to be answered in a satisfactory fashion?

[benjipwns]

I also think we should probably be harsher with the people excelsiorlef mentioned a couple of pages ago, the ones that post on other sites and basically use those to make fun of us while pretending to be cool here.

moblin and marrec annihilated

Was about to quote that.

Pretty sure I called it a few weeks ago that they users were gonna try that.

From what I'm seeing on r/xboxone or r/nintendoswitch or even r/nvidia or whatever is that they're pretty cool places.
I detest the Reddit UI so I don't post there myself but when I do to look up some stuff I don't have to cut through 100s of bullshit posts.

The stuff is on-topic, insightful and generally moderates/manages itself. On REEEEE every thread is ACTIONED at some point.
If you open a thread about Pokemon Blue or whatever you'll be knee-deep in gender choice option debates or some genius Switch resolution or virtual console begging talk within 5 minutes.

They can't stay on-topic ever, which is why REEE is easily the most worthless video game message board out there for starters.

The Bore about to be investigated. Tell marrec to better scrub his post history.

[benjipwns]

lmao at how butthurt stupei is about people trashing the GAF moderation, that's nearly every post they've made in the thread

Did someone trick the discord users of era that the forum would be private or something?

Ratatata thinking that they have more "influence" than Reddit or 4chan is a bit like the folks on GAF who thought the place was actively targeted by russian agents.

[BisMarckie]

https://www.resetera.com/posts/10744798/

Of course it’s for real. They probably creamed themselves when this thread went up. A bunch of GirlEra has already been doxxed by these assholes.

Benji

[stufte]

They should totally add pronoun options to the user dashboard. That'd make some of them feel safer and they'd be able to call out cis men with confidence.

[benjipwns]

It was, I'm willing to share the evidence with the ResetEra mod-team because most of those Russian agents actually migrated to the new place and left NeoGAF.

[Raist]

Remember, reposting the dumb shit that comes out of their keyboard is doxxing, stalking and harassment. Bobibob said so.
