DOJ |OT| SUMMIT NOW SUMMIT NOW

[thisismyusername]

Volimar also resigned:

Hey everyone I just wanted to make a post to explain why I'm no longer a moderator because with the current state of things I worry there may be confusion. I realize some may read this and think I'm trying to make an appeal to emotion, but I can only hope that people who know me also know that I have tried my best to always be supportive and constructive in trans issues threads and will know that my intentions are true.

I'm physically disabled and I have been diagnosed with depression and two anxiety disorders. None of this is new information. I've spoken about it in other threads and even shared what medications I take because I think it's important to de-stigmatize mental health issues. As you can imagine, those issues have caused me a lot of trouble the past few days as I'm sure they have with those of you who similarly suffer. For me, they peaked last night as I turned off my computer and started getting ready for bed. I had an attack. Thankfully, I've had them frequently enough to know how to ride them out and calm myself after. But this morning I woke up feeling physically awful. Those of you who have also had attacks may be familiar with that feeling you get after or sometimes the next day, where your body just feels incredibly hungover, thrown in a mixer, and then poured over a pile of garbage.

It was a wake up call, and one that's been coming for a while. I want to emphasize that I don't blame the current events for what happened, since if it hadn't happened now, it could have just as easily have happened the next time some game developer or celebrity did something terrible and we had a blowup thread over it. Anxiety by its very nature is unpredictable. It's made me realize that I need to take care of myself. If you get nothing else from this post, please take away the importance of taking care of yourself. I haven't read what's happened since I went to bed and in my current state I don't plan to, but I know there's a lot of people dealing with a lot of stress right now. Prioritize self care.

If anyone has questions or comments or replies or whatever, please PM me rather than quoting my post as I don't want to derail from people's concerns (but be aware that I plan on trying to get myself to a better head space before replying so it may be a while before you get a reply). I'm not trying to make things about me. I simply wanted to make sure there was a reference post for people to link members who might have questions about my resignation and whether it was related to what's going on right now. Thanks in advance for pointing them in the right direction.

Yes, we knew this like an hour or two ago, Benji-san.

I just came across the word "folx" can someone tell me what the deal is with this? What is triggering about "folks" that they have to spell it with an X instead?

Also, what does the folx say?

folx is the same gender-neutral term like latinx that white people use.

[Boredfrom]

Cerium is such a bitch.

There's nothing triggering about the word folks, they're just doing it to be cute.

[ShutUp]

Nothing of consequence done to those who actually did something wrong here. But a black gay guy was forced to give up mod status for something said two years ago, even though the fucking bitch who dug it up cropped out part of the post to fit her agenda because she was in a bad mood, of course no ban for this.

Fucking spineless cretins that yet again show they are, for whatever reason, legitimately scared of those they are in charge of moderating. Literally would take the same amount of time to ban all of them that it takes them to ban the many, many others perma'd since the site came online.

[shosta]

this is far from over, admins

I know who's getting banned next

"folx" means you appropriated "folks" from people who live in the south and probably wear flannel 3x a week

Sabrina is really the big winner in this situation. She gets my admiration.

how is folk or folks not gender-neutral?

[nachobro]

sabrina is solid af

[Averon]

Best yet, sabrina is immune to any bannings for the foreseeable future. The staff is scared shitless now. They won't dare ban sabrina for any reason since the alphabet crew sees her as a hero for exposing the bigoted mod Royalan.

wait didn't you say she was aguirre too? if so, hall of fame poster.

And yet again, a random member on the site is threatening those in charge, with zero consequences.

You would never see this anywhere else.

Everything thought that the Joker movie would make the incels rise up, but it actually made the volcels rise up.

[VomKriege]

Also did they commute the ban after it was upgraded from "duration pending" to "permanent" ? It's fucking extraordinary just how chaotic and short sighted everything is, but I guess a ghost owner with no reliable admin will do that.

[TVC15]

Haha, Cerium and the mods are old lady bitches bent over the barrel getting gangbanged by the inmates.

I don’t think it’s a good idea having the discussion with Trans-Era being public. It will be derailed just like this thread was for a good bit. The results and the key points touched on should be public though

"Transparency? No no, I said... trans... parenting."

Give an inch, take a mile

Cerium should just sell the forum to one of the Chik-Fil-A people for 10 million dollars.

PoliGAF loses another mod. Kristoffer, Kirblar and now Royalan. What kind of dirt will they be able to dig up on b-dubs?

I've seen some extremely nasty fake rumors spread from those kinds of people on twitter that got shut down with proof of how they were faked, and members who have been caught from other sites here. There are certainly people out there that want nothing but to break ERA apart and harass anyone and everyone that they can, and I've even seen a few of those posters pop up posting fake rumors masquerading as a "concerned" member, actually just trying to start a fire, before getting nuked. Lots of people on the outside see ERA as a progressive and extreme leftist site and want it gone because of that. I would even daresay they've probably tried adding fuel to the fire already.
 

We are sitting comfortably in the peanut gallery, no need to get on stage. 

[nachobro]

so resetti shitcanned shosta, royalan, bronsonlee, and probably more minoritiy mods while the white admins ran the joint?

not a good look for a progressive forum

[Hermit]

hobbes actually has a chance now since he's a cis white male

[benjipwns]

All the admins being white males is pretty typical for a progressive organization.

it didnt work btw

[HIDEGROUP=moderator]While I've got your attention, and since we're on the subject of danger, you guys should know people have been taking screenshots of, for example, the PC Gaming Era Discord and posting that up on KF. Add this to the fact that someone on that fuckin' hellsite was pretending to be me to try and stir shit over here, and I'm a little miffed-- this screw-up has painted a huge target on all of us.[/HIDEGROUP]

Machiavelli's Rugrats, everyday, exclusively on ResetERA.com

I wouldn't be surprised ERA is going to bleed itself white in the next 24 months. Pandering can't be an healthy base for moderation.

[shosta]

they didn't even ban and kill the mods

lol "was pretending to be me" some dude just posted something like "reeeeee mods I'm actually Deffers"

somebody said they were Ketkat too

[nachobro]

the last thing I would recommend is to, in time, appoint more LGBTQIA+ members to the staff and moderation team

https://www.resetera.com/threads/resetera-moderation-staff-is-fucking-up-beyond-belief-on-lgbt-issues.153951/post-26634962

[Leadbelly]

Waiting for the CERIUM RETIRE BITCH posts when nothing else comes from this

That probably won't happen. So now I guess it's time for 'ResetresetEra'. That would be amazing.

[Propagandhim]

Remember when they said, "Mods are cops"

Yeah, dunno why people think is particularly hilarious that ERA is going to become more miserable for everyone.

What do they have? One axis of intersectionality? Two axes? Please. ResetEra needs people so fractured that they act like a completely different person to every single person they interact with.

I can see the BANNED FOR BEING A STRAIGHT CRACKER mod messages already.

And the minority ones were forced out of the system for infringing on the upper class of the populace by not kowtowing enough. The system works. #TrustTheProgress

wait so royalan got demodded AND denutted?

what's BCT's response?

So on any other day of the year, how long would have Sabrina's ban been for a relentless pursuit of cross-forum drama, misrepresenting moderation, and hostility in a sensitive thread?

And she fucking admitted it!

[Transhuman]

I'm just glad ketkat is back where she belongs. The world is right again

[Coffee Dog]

Resetreset isn't coming from this, Cerium retire bitch isn't coming from this. Nobody actually has real grievances, they wanted an internet fight, and with Ket unbanned they "won", and all other details and remaining points of outrage are safely stored to be reheated the next time someone wants to strongarm the mods.

They'd rather continue the anti-mod coup than go through the actual work of taking down reset, as they've seen they can just get what they want. And cerium is seemingly...okay with this?

Straight up MVP

[maninthemirror]

So they are asking ketkat be unbanned for doing things which would get anyone else banned as well just because ketkat is a “valuable” member of the hive mind ?

A mod got demodded because he did not fall in line with the hive mind thought process

Amazing thing is that this whole scenario only proves to everyone inside era who has some sense and outside era who aren’t bigots that era is a literal hive mind.
That people expect some users to get privelige status membership no matter what they do but they dogpile on anyone who has a non bigoted opinion which does not fall in line with the majority view.

It proves that era will reward bad behavior from folks who are lock step and barrel with the hive and will dogpile anyone who has a non bigoted opinion which folks just don’t like. It’s sending the message that the user base rewards a certain thought process if they abuse the TOS

You ever take a step back and think what does being LGBT have to do with moderating a video game forum?

[maninthemirror]

Your hear that bitch? You are going to get banned unless you are willing to suck a cheeseburger

People who reply to a thread regarding trans issues with "hmm, I don't know how this transphobic joke makes trans people angry. People are just too sensitive I guess. I'm all for trans rights tho" should be moderated. No more bullshit from "interested observers" please.

[Hermit]

Open discussion on a forum should be BANNED

[maninthemirror]

Next up on era

If one trans person says this show had a transphobic episode  Any doubter will be banned for 2 weeks minimum .
To partake in a show is transphobic thread. You can only agree that it is or else do not participate because you will be banned

Future Dave Chappelle show thread: first 5 posts : “great show, chappelle killed it”. Trans member posts #6 post in thread: “but Chapelle is transphobic” . Mod issues staff post on post #7: “anyone who praises this show will be banned because Chappell is a transphobe, I have changed the topic to showcase that “
