[Joe Molotov]

I want to know how much the person I reported suffered before their ban and whether they begged or not.

[Nintex]

Banbot got got? About fucking time. Dude went from lolRE to working in 8chan bullshit in a hurry and has long been a truly odious poster harnessing most of the worst aspects of the internet into one creature.

we can't ban people for being assholes, where would you go?

Banbot was different than being an asshole like me or a dipshit like Nintex. His posts were gross in the distinctly ugly internet person way.

I agree with this assessment good sir

When your identity is basically how your anxiety controls your life, there's no point in trying to change yourself. Better make everyone around you accommodate to your needs.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

the concept of "a safe space" and the concept of "a public forum that judges and moderates discourse" are fundamentally incompatible you fucking idiots.

You already have your 'safe spaces' - they're your fucking community cliques where nobody fucking bothers you because nobody wants to fucking go there.

[Hermit]

hahaha yeah, threatening people is so funny, hahaha, right guys? I'm totally being hilarious when i say im gonna fucking punch this lady over here hahaha



Fuck this dumb ass clown.

wasn't hobbes saying some shit about bodying a woman due to a racist remark earlier?

[nachobro]

So, are we still without an official communication or response?

We're almost at 2 days now since this situation peaked

[NinjaDeath]

Man if Excel becomes a mod i can no longer have her on ignore.   She stirs up so much shit all the time. 

I feel like the only solution to their problems is eliminate gaming side and just convert the whole site to a LGBT community forum.   Otherwise they will never be satisfied.

it takes a long time to prepare a statement that says "the loudest of you guys are making this site a living hell, please go start your own spinoff"

This is true but Hobbes was only parroting what another mod (Nepenthe ?) was saying.  Who is also ok with body slamming old people on the ground if they hear “the word”

[anime tits]

The best revelation behind all this is how apparently the backend staff has been a revolving door behind the scenes the past couple years. Nobody can deal with this shit

It was a great moment of them realizing that almost all the original admins have left and how that explains why things are terrible.

Then it got even better when they got Royalan to step down despite him being one of the few who's been there from the start.

[Hermit]

We're going to see monthly threads where these knuckleheads are going to start demanding for certain people to be banned or modded

[HaughtyFrank]

"Stop asking ignorant questions! It's exhausting and ruins our safe space"

trans folx know what's bigoted, abusive and trolling though - we've heard it all before countless times.

How about deferring to those of us who actually know our community, instead of assuming we don't know what we know.

[Potato]

an ignore button is too much work for them to wrap their heads around but they demand a notification system for reports that lets them have by the second updates on any report they made

Is there a system that could be added to the report system for more transparency that sends automated messages to the reporter to show when their report is pending, in analysis, and then the result?

https://www.resetera.com/threads/resetera-moderation-staff-is-fucking-up-beyond-belief-on-lgbt-issues.153951/post-26656905

I asked about this once in the past and was more or less told it was too much work for them if I recall correctly. All that means is I feel less comfortable in reporting posts. If something is disregarded I'd love to know why.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/resetera-moderation-staff-is-fucking-up-beyond-belief-on-lgbt-issues.153951/post-26658084

Reporting needs a basic overhaul absolutely. At the least, you should be informed if your report was actioned upon or not.

"I need instant confirmation that my report has resulted in a ban!"

It's like these people get off on getting people banned or something...

[paprikastaude]

lmaoo ERA has a thread up about The Game Awards and how they feel “uncomfortable” with marketing affecting the “sanctity” of the awards. How Death Stranding being nominated is “problematic”

TGAs are off-year mini E3s breh, they don’t even give showtime to the people getting awards anymore.

People in that thread see all hours of ADs and announcements as a necessary evil for their favorite video game to get an award.

Like

They also think PR man Geoff Keighley is a journalist.  Well, maybe not anymore after hosting so many nazis (like that... guy from Youtube or whatever) and considering that they understand 'journalist' as 'ally'.

but tbf it's also worth watching for all the fuckups and Keighley not knowing how to react, because he's a robot.

[Joe Molotov]

How many awards will Boogie1488 win this year? Stay tuned!

[nachobro]

Is this the only official response so far? It reads like a prelude to a more significant statement, one that addresses all of the OP and general concerns that have been raised over the course of months.

I get that it can take a while for mods to figure out what needs to be changed but the silence on the matter makes me think nothing is actually being figured out.

I can't wait till excel and kyuuji are mods because there's only two possible outcomes:

A ) A mass graveyard of bans happens.

B ) Nothing changes so people start asking for their heads.

C ) One of them is outraged about some innocuous statement from one of their fellow internet janitors (AMAB) and starts leaking screenshots from the safe space to the safe space of the private mods only discord.

a lot of universities have hate speech codes to restrict that shit instead of entertaining them

why on earth would anyone want to have "an exchange of ideas" with a bigot on a video game forum

The idea is to avoid an "echochamber", which is just bananas.

[Cauliflower Of Love]

Additionally, I agree that a google search does not do justice. If I need to understand these marginalized communities better, I often sit back and listen, but sometimes I need something clarified and that sometimes includes moments where I'm not sure what to type into Google to have my specific question answered.

I totally understand the sentiment to not want to answer questions about yourself or the marginalized community you belong to because you're not obligated to answer those questions and the people asking the questions are not owed an answer.

I also understand as someone in a marginalized community myself that if more representation and acceptance of my marginalized community that a level of understanding from those not in that marginalized community is required and is 100% beneficial.

This is pretty great.

[OnlyRegret]

Didn't really think about this till now.

-Big C is the out of sight owner sharing little of what goes behind the scenes
-Volunteers are doing all the heavy lifting and managing the flock for free
-Ad revenue + ClEaRAsil revenue brings in an unspecified amount and is never alluded to
-Big C is pocketing those funds whilst offloading work to the volunteers

Hahahaha, this shit is CAPITALISM 
The website direction is intended to carry in whatever direction is profitable, get that free labour from people who wanna play hall monitor in a Safe Place. Woke capitalism.

A Google search isn't an effective or efficient means of learning for everyone. Many people learn better from discussion and dialogue, which is why Q&A interaction has been a pillar of pedagogy for millennia.

This is not our problem to solve and ResetEra is not a university, it's a gaming forum. They can get the shit you're suggesting elsewhere. This forum and the people who make it are under no obligation to be all things educational to all people. Being a safe space for minorities is a lofty enough goal as it is. Your pushback here is evidence of that.

SO WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU DIPSHITS TALKING ABOUT SAFE SPACES FOR MINORITIES IF ITS JUST A GAMING FORUM HOLY SHIT

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

The past few days have been exhausting for both sides of this. It's not going to happen immediately, like tomorrow or anything, while tensions are still running high. We need time to determine what all needs to be addressed, what other topics of discussion are relevant, and options for moving forward.

We want this to happen, but we also want this to happen at a time when the discussion can be productive.

not slick

[Potato]

Honestly, if you have a functioning REEEsetera account and aren't agitating for full accountability of where the money is going and also for Ketkat, Incelshit and Hobbes to be made mods, then what are you waiting for?

[NinjaDeath]

I mean... this is sort of why resetera was made? This forum was made since the old forum stopped being a safe space. If you want a video game forum without protection for minorities, go back to NeoGAF tbqh.

ResetEra wasn’t made to be the minority safe space haven.   It was made to be a video game forum not run by a sexual predator.    It just so happened that hey it’s open to everyone and you won’t be able to be a bigot here.   No where in the fine print did it say the Trans community is the top priority.

The oppression Olympics have been run and won.

The BCT took an early lead with a series of outrages about police brutality, but some Juicy Smollett-related stumbles enabled the LGBTQI+ community to catch up through sheer force of complaining about made up oppression in their own echochamber.

But in a mid-event revolt, the trans community executed a perfect backstab maneuver to spilt away from their former team and execute one of the protectors/mods of both the BCT and gay communities to vault itself off the back of the asexual community and into the lead where it is currently forcing the moderators to suck their female penii as they dictate terms about how the rest of the event is going to play now that they are writing the rules.

Meanwhile, the host broadcaster, Cerium LLC, is sitting back as the mods take a brutal beating on his behalf and counting the cash as the ad revenue rolls in.

Did Royalan really even step down?  He still has the mod title.

ksweely mad af that he's being mocked

I made this thread in an attempt to educate people about the actual history surrounding Thanksgiving, this history is NOT the history that was taught to people in schools:

    The true story behind Thanksgiving is a bloody struggle that decimated the population and ended with a head on a stick

    • Most American schoolchildren grow up with the story of how the English pilgrims and Native Americans came together for the first Thanksgiving in Plymouth.

    • In reality, peace didn't last between the English settlers and their one-time Wampanoag allies.

    • The two became embroiled in a devastating war just a generation after the famous feast.

    "there is nothing problematic this holiday"

    ...

    can someone please explain to me, in about say, essay length level, why it's obvious to y'all that Black Pete is racist, but your own racist traditions are suddenly totally not racist when any asshole on the other side of the Atlantic (hi!) can see that it is?

Because people aren’t dressing up like pilgrims or native Americans and talking about how great the pilgrims treated the native Americans.

It's hilarious that he just randomly dropped the info that the Philadelphia police came up with the name "Black Friday".

The name "Black Friday" was created by the Philadelphia Police:

“Black Friday” is the name which the Philadelphia Police Department has given to the Friday following Thanksgiving Day. It is not a term of endearment to them. “Black Friday” officially opens the Christmas shopping season in center city, and it usually brings massive traffic jams and over-crowded sidewalks as the downtown stores are mobbed from opening to closing.

Sane poster: If you want to demand long bans for not understanding niche minority topics there should be education.
The Kree: This is not our problem to solve and ResetEra is not a university, it's a gaming forum.
Sane poster: So if it's just a gaming forum, why does it need to be a safe space? Couldn't you just make your own safe space forum?
The Kree: Missing the point entirely. But I'd love to see you argue that this shouldn't be a safe space for minorities because it's just a video game forum.
