He got banned for this?
Quote from: Boredfrom on November 19, 2019, 12:33:41 AMShosta, I’m still waiting for an answer of why Royalan is a progressive when he is exactly the kind of Democrat that RE hates with passion. I'm talking about on cultural issues, bruh. He's gay, he's black, he's always been the loudest voice in the room when it comes to this stuff. He's a perfect representative of what Resetera wants and was literally the most important person when it came to changing Resetera into what it is so if he doesn't pass the purity test then fucking nobody does.

The admins needs to treat transERA better than this, holy shit.
why is there so much posting? imma go ly dwn till you guys get off the meth
Hey everyone, I'm part of the Mafia (the party game) community here on ERA; Ket would regularly play games with us and we're supporting her on this (many have posted here already).In case you're ever interested in playing with us, or really just hanging out in our discord, a place where all are welcome, come on in (we barely talk about Mafia in the discord lol, it's just a place where us friends can be together and talk about whatever else):
QuoteThe admins needs to treat transERA better than this, holy shit.than giving them a thread for a whole week to whine about a single ban of one of their worst posters?
now they're sharing twitter handles
https://www.resetera.com/threads/its-trans-awareness-week-nov-13th-19th.153146/ We fighting the mods because they're trying to get away with bullshit that (Of Course) only targets the trans and queer communities of the forum
Is Cerium banned yet?
Former mod here, and certainly no stranger to saying stupid shit, as pretty much all of y'all are well aware.I've written about three dozen versions of this post and deleted them all because it's hard to formulate the right words. Rather than posting a huge essay, I'm just going to say that while I DO understand the challenges of moderating a site as large, diverse, and ever-changing as Era, I ALSO know that it's possible to make the wrong call sometimes.Nicole has the right of it, from my point of view. I may not be a frequent presence in most TransEra threads, but I stand with you. It's so, so damn common to see people trivialize the struggles of the asexual community nowadays, and Era needs to be a place where ace members of the community can feel safe and not under the same kind of threat of erasure.
Quote from: Boredfrom on November 19, 2019, 12:25:19 AMWhy is SweetNicole pretending she was not kicked out for similar reasons?No, not similar reasons. The exact same reason.She fucked Talking Pillows, who brought down SteamERA, and she was given new account names + her Duration Pendings were erased.

I am reposting this thread for visibility and awareness of the situation, and because it seems moderation has given up on locking related threads and quarantining the discussion to the Trans Awareness thread. Seeing as the entire moderation staff is asleep right now, I'm not really going to wait for permission to remake this thread.
A few things I would remind people as the evening hours begin in earnest:To the community: Even on our best days when I was on staff, it took staff time to respond to issues. An issue of this magnitude, it will take time for them to respond. There is still time for them to respond correctly, now. Please have a bit of patience and wait for their response rather than demanding they rush things. You can still talk about this problem and how we got here, but rushing is not prudent. We want them to get this right. It is also late hours of the night for most of us, and many people, community and staff included would be greatly served by sleeping on this.To the staff: Although things are bad right now, the community does want to leave. People are looking for you to give them a reason to stay. They're looking for you to give them a reason to hope. They're looking for you to show them with their actions that things are going to be okay in the long run, even if they're not okay right now. Please, please, do not waste this opportunity.And, I know posting your trans policies publicly is scary. Yes, it is possible it could be abused by bad faith actors. But I worry more about the community than I do some bad faith actors right now. The damage has already been done, and it will require extreme solutions to restore things to normal. The choice seems to be between rebuilding faith with the community or dealing with some bad faith actors. For me, it is clear which is the right decision is out of those options, and I earnestly hope it is clear for you too.

I am better with google than the internal search and used it to look up who KitKat is just to be sure and saw that other sites have picked up on this issue. A very prominent hate site to be exact. The avatar in question is now starting to be misused over there too. That´s how bad this already is despite the fact that this isn´t even 24 hours old yet. All your words are literally being screen-capped and monitored. Just a heads up.
change the mods, shuffle things up every 4-5 months.

Sad that 98% of ERA members don't give a shit of Trans issues.

Someone should work in a dig about Era Clear on a burner
Who are the mods involved in this?RoyalIan, Morrigan, AliceAmber(?)I think there's an admin too?
If this ends with cerium banning sweet Nicole for essentially attempting a coup, my year will be made
I'm scared I'm going to go to sleep and this thread will be purged along with all the other ones. Stay strong friends
MODS ARE ASLEEP POST SMOOTH YODA BORING REPOSTS THAT SAY NOTHING
Quoting this so others can easily catch up.I had no idea trans members were feeling this way, or that they experienced a sense of pervasive hostility towards them anywhere on the forum. I come here because I expect Era to be a place where marginalized people can feel safe and protected by a progressive mod team.The same goes 100% for asexual members.I can't offer an opinion on the banning, or anything going on behind the scenes. I just want to know that mods are taking the concerns of all marginalized members to heart, and that these issues are going to be addressed.I'm so sorry that anyone is feeling alienated by this community, especially asexual and transgender members. You're incredibly valuable members of this forum, and not just because of the unique perspectives you bring to our discourse. Love and support to all of you.
I get that there are legitimate concerns here but please let's not let people from other places on the internet take advantage of this chaos.It's gonna be hard to tell who's arguing in good faith and who just wants to see the site go down
KILL THEM ALL CERIUM!
I know there are LGBT mods... and that we are being told that they had some say in some of these responses and actions… Either tell me their judgment is suspect, or they are worried about not towing a line
Issues like this have always been handled terribly here. And I feel like it’s only gotten worse despite years of saying they will do better.There’s a reason why certain communities don’t feel welcome here anymore and their respective OTs only get a fraction of the traffic they used to get at the old place. Everyone’s moved to Discord.
