The moderator in question is not aphobic, transphobic, or anything of the sort, and in fact cares very deeply and personally about LGBTQ+ issues. That is a large part of why we find this ordeal upsetting.

You don’t get to tell them what is transphobic. JFC you created the monster, you should know it’s rules.

Pretty sure he is the mod that initiated all this.

Oh you know who it was. And I guarantee there were misspellings and grammatical errors a plenty during his anti-asexual rant. It must have pissed off KitKat in a real way for it to stick around with her and cause her to seppuku her account.

KetKat is a shallow cunt, she totally didn’t expect the mod team going after her. Also Royalan has many problematic opinions (and Slayven doesn’t care enough either way) and he is the one closing the thread .

The ban in question involves the abuse of a personal relationship between the poster in question and a former moderator. This is now a private matter and not for public discussion. It has nothing to do with the valid feedback in the rest of the post.

Ha how did I miss this... nothing says open to feedback like “shut the fuck up”.

Hey resetera lurkers, remember when the forum was all about moderation transparency and community first?

https://www.polygon.com/2017/10/24/16536652/neogaf-resetera-forum-scandal-malka

Multiple former NeoGAF members, including moderators, told Polygon that as the implosion and exodus happened over the weekend, they felt stranded. The site went “down for maintenance,” and its members, many of whom had joined NeoGAF when it first launched 11 years ago, very quickly had nowhere to go. The platform they used to connect with friends was either ripped away from them, or they felt that the world they had once belonged to no longer existed, as Polygon learned to be the more common case.

By Sunday, many displaced NeoGAF members flocked to a new Discord server. The Discord, which Polygon was asked to keep anonymous, attracted good- and ill-intentioned individuals who began sharing screenshots on Twitter of conversations. Late Sunday night, the server went into lockdown mode.

One member of the Discord server told Polygon that there were concerns that trolls from popular GamerGate and alt-right forums — including the subreddit KotakuInAction, VOAT, certain 4chan boards and 8chan — were masquerading as legitimate NeoGAF members. The concern was that, once these people got into the Discord, they would leak member information and organize attacks.

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 members 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, including 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.”

ResetEra administrators “reached out to communities to vet our people so they could get as many members on the forum as possible without just having a bunch of random users who want to hurt the community join.”

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.”

One constant for those involved in ResetEra’s construction process — or those cheering from the Discord server’s sidelines — is how remarkably positive the community has been, members told Polygon. 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.

With names like Hobbes (endorses violence against women) and Stinkles (confirmed anti-Semite) it’s no wonder the rest of the industry ignores that place like the plague.

Has anyone pinpointed why discussion of trans issues is so high relative to the general population? It’s a recurring discussion on RE while I’m sure like 99% of people have never even met a trans person.

If you work in tech there's a very high probability you encounter cheeseburgers on the regular. There's a clear connection between autism and AGP. The game industry is part of the tech industry.

what's a cheeseburger

[benjipwns]

what's a cheeseburger

A cheeseburger is a machine in a power cheeseburger system, which provides controlled application of the power. Often the term cheeseburger refers simply to the gearbox that uses gears and gear trains to provide speed and torque conversions from a rotating power source to another device.[1][2]

In British English, the term cheeseburger refers to the whole drivetrain, including clutch, gearbox, prop shaft (for rear-wheel drive), differential, and final drive shafts. In American English, however, the term refers more specifically to the gearbox alone, and detailed usage differs

[Potato]

Let's be honest here, REEEsetera would be a much better forum of the whole trans community just fucked off somewhere else (the BCT and the whole of poliGAF for that matter).

I recently came out as trans. Mg girlfriend came out as gay. She still doesn't want to be with me despite saying she'll "see me as a woman", she wants someone with a vagina. I know it's just me personally. But it's hard to celebrate this week despite how much I want to right now . I want my girlfriend back.

Don’t even start. You didn’t leak the name before Sabi. Like I said you’re not an insider, and looking at your past posts, all you do is speculate things and get everything wrong, you don’t have any proof or credible info. Someone else leaked the name, and you’re taking credit for it. you’re a JOKE.
You came out of nowhere acting like you’re the man. Yet you know nothing and you don’t know noone in WBM either. Stop lying to us and yourself. Kindly remove yourself from this thread. You and James Sigfield should both shut up.

I don't know how kids in schools are supposed to actually learn anything with the threat of a shooting rampage just looming around the corner. I'd be terrified to go to school.

There are 132,853 K-12 schools in the U.S. There were 24 shootings in 2018. That's like being scared of leaving the house because you might get struck by lightning. The odds of having a shooting anywhere near you are so astronomically low that its ridiculous to be scared. Another example of the culture of fear. YOU MUST FEAR THIS THING THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN TO YOU.

See, by calling attention to the "breach of privacy", the staff has made this worse, because nobody was talking about that portion of her post until it was mentioned, and now we all rightly want whoever was sending transphobic messages to be punished.

To be perfectly honest, and obviously speaking for myself only here, I kinda don't want to know. I consider the staff friends from when I was on it, and I don't want that image shattered.

I was naive out of college and bought a new car back in 2011. $34K. Took me 4 years to pay it off but I keep great care of it and barely use it. 8 years later I have 35,000 miles on it. So the thing should last me a long time, which I'm thankful for.

8 years/35000 miles is pretty damn good. If nothing else, you've got a decent asset there if you wanna get a new car.
