I’m tired of reading this shit in Era. If you eat there, you’re a piece of trash, no exceptions.

If they aren't going to ban them outright, people who eat at chik fil a should get a tag so the actual good people here can just put the trash people on auto ignore.

I think the site as a whole needs an actual, experienced community director as site staff. While moderators here are human and volunteers, the history of moderation and enforcement of the site's rules has been spotty at best and looked like favoritism at it's worst, and certain topics, such as this one, show deeprooted problems that really need to be solved over the long term and prevented in the future. An actual overarching plan and a proper set of support tools for the staff implemented by a community director would go a long way to destressing the moderation team, providing clear and consistent forum policy and preventing these grey areas (which really aren't grey at all).

I volunteered my time in the past (proper community building, marketing, PR, all areas of expertise this site is currently lacking) and got promptly ignored (which is 100% okay!) but I still believe to this day that this place needs experienced guidance on issues such as this, and "winging it" is not, and has not, been working. I really hope a thread like this leads to an open discussion about what needs to change and an actual proper plan on how to get there.

It is now 2019, almost 2020. Forums and communities as a whole can not be run in the modern area in a style of how they were run 5-10 years ago. Times have changed a lot, and they are going to keep changing. The friction does not have to be there, and it is a fixable problem in the long term. I hope the site realizes that and gets the proper person in place to work towards that betterment of everything here because this place still has so much untapped potential for good.

I'm throwing this suggestion out here in addition to other suggestions and this is more of my governmental self on this, how about we establish a moderation watchdog similar to the Office of Inspector General or the Office of Special Counsel where the admin and staff, in unanimous agreement, or regular users who wishes to nominate a user, nominates an independent user as an inspector general to which to be advise and consent to every user on the forum or at least have users sign up for it. Having a simple majority or 60% say aye to confirm the user to a one year term which can be renewed up to a limit of 3 years. This user would be charged to lead with examining the actions of the moderators as a general auditor of their operations to ensure they are operating in compliance with generally established policies of the website, to audit the effectiveness of security procedures, or to discover the possibility of misconduct for the staff and admins. If there is misconduct conducted by a admin or moderator reported by a user, the IG will investigate this report and would determine if that moderator did operate in misconduct. If that moderator is found to operate in misconduct, the IG will report to the admin to determine disciplinary actions such as a ban or having their moderation powers revoked.

Another suggestion would be to establish an office similar to the Department of Justice's Office of Special Counsel where only regular users can nominate an independent user as an independent counsel to advise and consent to the same terms and rules except the powers of this counsel to ban and revoking a moderator without having to go to the admin.

Again this is simply a suggestion, if anyone needs to point out any flaws or loopholes, I'm right here.

I can't believe he had the nerve to say this when he locked the last thread.

Personally, the idea that someone who was not supposed to have access to our private conversations had access makes me uncomfortable, and that has nothing to do with fear of being "outed" as a secret bigot.

Narrator: It had everything to do with the fear of being outed as a secret acephobe.

[shosta]

FUCK YOU PORK

[bork]

[benjipwns]

It much be so hard to go about your daily lives without the ability to be ace/transphobic in private. Poor people

lol at acephobia being the thing that finally makes them realize that ResetERA.com is a hate site where minorities leave in droves every second

[Pwnz]

We just got the cybered u guys.

[bork]

smh bork really just locked a thread because yuka posting wasn't allowed

You couldn't handle the immense power.  It's OK, not mad.

[benjipwns]

pork is basically the Royalan of The Bire

[shosta]

I just can't believe they've chosen this mod, and the right of staff to say hateful things in private, over us as a community. Even permed one of the most well regarded members of the community because of them. This is what they believe is more valuable than us.

how does it feel

[Propagandhim]

I just wish *sigh* I felt safer, ya know?  *stares at shoes*

[Tripon]

This is going to end with kektat being made owner of Ree isn't it?

[benjipwns]

how does it feel

reported for making me feel unsafe

[benjipwns]

Everyone involved in protecting Royalan's acephobia needs to step down.

[TVC15]

Cindi, if you’re reading this, now is the time to load up a Reset account (if you have one), jump in that thread, and demand that Cerium step down and hand the forum over to Ket. If someone does it they’ll start parroting something similar.

[shosta]

it was a "unanimous" staff decision, so that's... everyone?

[Crumb]

This is going to end with kektat being made owner of Ree isn't it?

Its the only way.

[shosta]

Ah the wonderful, constant reminders that "allies" will sell you out for a pinch of cornbread. Just what we all needed.

wtf is a "pinch" of cornbread

[benjipwns]

Its important to continue to point out that this community was founded in to be more open on things like the processes. You have an entire community who is now in fear and you choose to say shut up and get back to trans issues. If you arent going to listen to an entire community that what is the point of this site?

[shosta]

at least we got some fucking discords out of it

[remy]

  at all the drama at reset.

start a new community  based on open moderation and being welcoming to minorities and the first time you get tested do neither

It's not the first time. Resetera has been a living hell for these people for months.

[remy]

that post legit gave me a sensible chuckle

[benjipwns]

hmmm hiding now huh

Meanwhile, Metacouncil is still going strong.

[ShutUp]

What are these idiots "in fear" of? Does ERA have a hitman from the dark web on speed dial, ready to take out the trans community over there? Jesus Christ the hyperbole.

I'm stunned they perma'd Ket. Now do the same to the ones bitching and the site becomes 0.00000000001% more tolerable.

[shosta]

lashman wouldn't do something like this. I trust lashman.

[benjipwns]

And it actually is International Transgender Day of Remembrance now.

Yeah... On a day about remembering the fallen victims of transphobic we are having to fight for transparency due to a pillar of our community being shadily banned for speaking up in a thread about the administration's handling of transphobic for the last several months.

[Propagandhim]

Yeah, his name is Royalan

[TVC15]

wait, there’s going to have to be a THE STATEMENT from ResetEra now, right? This is worthy of one, I think.

[Nuitangg]

Has incelsheet weighed in yet?

[nachobro]

metacouncil also doesnt have mods shutting down threads over tiddy

[benjipwns]

I love the community here but I'm honestly fucking done if there is no response

Don't worry, there will be a response, you won't like it, but there will be a response.

I’ve been negative about Era for a long time now, but god is this a new fucking low

This is a good time to mention that Xaszatm, an ace person, got his thread on trans issues locked by acephobe Royalan.

I hoped to start posting more, but frankly I don't really feel like it's worth it now, in both safety and personal interest.

[ShutUp]

Ah yes, that damn acephobe. Stay safe, folx.

[benjipwns]

I'm seriously considering stepping down as Mod Admiral, I didn't know my staff were all violent bigots afraid to be open with their forum membership.

[Tripon]

Does era want to be known for gay bashing or acephobia?

[benjipwns]

I honestly didn't think things couldn't get worse, but then they did. :/

Unless there's a quick reversal of course and accountability to be had, I think I'm done with this forum, at this point. The administration has demonstrated no willingness beyond empty lip service to improve... any... aspect. These problems have been top-down since the forum's launch.

Royalan, perhaps you should take notes: as gay people we have to stand in solidarity with all members of the umbrella, or else it doesn't function. Dismissing or measuring against others' oppression makes it clear you're in the repugnant "fuck you, got mine" camp of gay man-children clutching at their tenuous privilege.

I'll be shocked if this thread isn't locked by tomorrow with no improvement for anything. They can't fix this for the same reason the problem was caused in the first place. They can't see beyond themselves.  Any perceived slight against them gets far more precedence than anything else.

I don't think there's active transphobia or acephobia, but it's still bigotry if you're called out for an hurtful action on good faith and your response is the biggest "fuck you" you can exercise.  Putting your own ego above any concern of others is were a lot of bigotry comes from, and I believe that's what's happening here.

Who is Royalan? Can't keep up with this shit anymore.

[shosta]

So what did we all learn tonight?

[benjipwns]

Nobody even knew Royalan's real name, so they couldn't confirm he was the acephobic one.

[remy]

If they were smart they should have outed royalan and just let him register under an alias and promote him as a new mod when no one is looking

Apparently a gay dude that won't stand for asexuals because the suffering isn't on par with his. Eg a bitch ass cunt.

[shosta]

they threadmarked the photo

[benjipwns]

lol Kyuuji made sabrina's post a threadmark

[benjipwns]

Yup. This is Contrapoints all over again.

[Pwnz]

If they were smart they should have outed royalan and just let him register under an alias and promote him as a new mod when no one is looking 

Or "suddenly realize" it was a bad faith troll account with a history of histories of transphobias, gee golly good thing that special ops dog got him.

[benjipwns]

To make matters more wild, the content and moderator Ketkat was referencing was not Royalan.

I'd rather not get my account banned but that's the first time I or Ketkat have seen that post but I think that's important information to dessect which is why I'm putting myself on the line.

 How many minutes until the mass account suicides? 

sure would be a shame if everyone starting posting trans porn. trans awareness

[tuna_love]

why is robin scared of getting banned 

[benjipwns]

Like Chick-Fil-A, ERA staff has lost all benefit of doubt for me.

that's what they're all afraid of, because they know who runs bordertown
