I agree they're the same in "yes corporate entity you're my number one queen slaaaaay". If MS chose to instead release a lot of exclusive linear AAA cinematic games tailor made for high MC scores they would stop regurgitating PR or even pretend to be pro-consumer with the ecosystem talk. Same for Sony fans if gamepass, crossplay and the PC ecosystem stuff was sony's strategy. Gotta support your team and never ever criticize.

My point was more the beaten down position they're in. It took a while and I loved dunking on the PS3 for it but it got a lot of exclusive games eventually (and ended up working out for them a gen later as most PS4 first party exclusives are making insane bank now). So it was still list wars debates and tech and that junk. We'll def see tech brought up as next gen comes close with the teraflops being thrown around by people who don't understand what they mean. But not having any real first party games come out frequently and not many getting much attention for the MC score dick measuring contests they just go on and on by which dev MS will buy next, who they bought and "man this third party game would be perfect for gamepass!". They barely ever talk about any actual games cause MS first party has been noticeably weaker and came out fewer and farther between.

That said, I looked at the Hutton thread and the reports generated from the thread - I see several posts that probably should have caught a ban, but were never reported. We get thousands of posts per day and we don't see all of them, because it's impossible, so we rely on reports for a lot of things we may miss.

Used to be a place that wasn't so lazy as to necessitate user reports; instead, mods would clean house as necessary.

HA LAZY SO FUNNY
Only after being notified if there was a thread that needed cleaning. GAF, in the day, was good at taking care of business, but even they missed things.

No, it's not fucking funny. It's outrageous. It's a passive job that seems to require no active containment of things growing out of control, metastasizing until you're left without a userbase.

I feel like you didn't read my post

Perhaps you shouldn't be posting if you cannot properly delineate the staff's decision-making process.

"Passive job."
Hilarious. You're a real comedian. You know, if you don't like it, you can fuck off somewhere else.

Were I to use this same language and tone toward another poster I would be banned. But you're a mod.

You're fucking right.

User Banned (2 weeks): hostility, prior recent ban for hostility

It is utterly infuriating to be someone who has been committed to progressive causes, from racial issues to sex issues to identity issues in general, for over 20 years, and yet dismissed for being fucking RIGHT in a singular situation, but lambasted by ignorant motherfuckers who discovered politics 4 years ago. And those technical 4-year-olds hold the keys, dismiss any insight, and fall prey to everything you warn them about.

With many of us still stuck at home for the foreseeable future and dating basically being no bueno, a lot of people's sexual needs must have been going unfulfilled for months. To the point that the Dutch government have advised people to find a sex buddy. Inevitably, a good chunk of those folks will turn to porn, which is by no means an unpopular media to consume even in non-social distancing times.

Some feminist schools of thought have denounced what they believe are the harmful side-effects of porn to women and behaviorists have also argued that, when consumed in excess, porn may also fuck up your brain chemistry in unexpected ways. Obviously none of this is hard evidence but should be perhaps taken into consideration when regarding the matter. So I'll ask the community here what are your views on porn and maybe about your porn viewing (acting?) habits.

Outer Worlds came out of Obsidian and is an IP MS owns now

Incorrect: Private Division and Take-Two own it.

(they started on the project way before the acquisition, though)

Correct. Which is why I wasn't including them in the process and said they were focusing on next-gen as they got bought end of last year, this year.

Ninja Theory and the others though, as Stupid Monkey said: 2018. Their shit should be out on THIS X-box, but outside of Ninja Theories which stealth released: Has any of them put out anything?

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

So, by theory of 2-year development cycles: Ninja Theories shit should be out now. But instead, they're doing Next-gen like Obsidan. 

I think ninja theory are a trash studio that embody the concept of hire a bunch of artists and forget to hire a game designer, but they're also exactly the kind of studio you'd expect to make a launch title for your shiny new box, not something for the tail end of your existing cycle.

Modern pornography direct from the performers is an actually pretty interesting development. OnlyFans and personal websites and the like give content creators full control, and the quality is only limited by their imagination and personal resources.

I can't watch "real" porn anymore, especially after i found out how it's made, just feel bad whenever i see those Videos.

I don't understand how one gets so psychologically wrapped up in a rape allegation. People get to the point where you can see it plain as day on their face, "I really hope he raped her" is the thought that is plastered on their forehead. They wonder why their community is on the edge of self destruction, meanwhile, these idiots can't help but torture themselves with self imposed mind fuckery that puts them on the side of hoping for the worst. They get so personally involved in the worst possible outcome that when the dust settles, they end up looking legitimately sociopathic in their desire to be correct.

Its like a coworker of mine who was making bets on the death toll from coronavirus. He bet high and would check the daily deaths and get disappointed if it was lower than expected. The difference being that he quickly realized that is poison for the mind and cut it out.

The problem on Era is that poor moderation is doubled down on instead of owned up to. They never will admit to mistakes and unban those who did not deserve it. It’s fracturing the community.

The first. I mean by virtue of saying "I want to wait for more info" you are essentially saying that the person is lying, so....take that as you will.

Woah this is just bad optics all around. Can't a person say they want to see news from a more reputable source before jumping on one side or another?
This should probably be given its own thread though so this one isn't derailed much further...

This is a well intentioned, but bad take.

It sucks we lost poliera. It was one of the best communities on here and I learned so much from them.

This is totally contradictory to the staff post in this very thread, that reads:

There's a big difference between saying you want to wait for more information, and immediately casting aspersions on an alleged victim because she said something weird about Russia.

There's a big difference between saying you have concerns about a contradiction in a witness testimony, and peddling conspiracy theories that she's a Russian plant.

There's a major difference between saying you'd still vote for Biden in a thread about Biden, and going into a thread about sexual assault survivors to lecture people about how Reade might be lying, actually.

So maybe you all need to get on the same page about this.

Wait is this actually the stance of this forum? I can't actually believe this. I don't know how I feel about this man...

I agreed with almost everything hecht said in this thread, but yeah, there is no consistency between the several statements that have been put out on this topic.

I'd appreciate it if the entire mod team was on the same page and have 1 stance, so I can decide if I want to stick around in this community or take my ball and leave.

This is straight up ridiculous. Especially in this thread in particular, as the people saying that are giving Reade the benefit of the doubt.

I would hope the staff comes back into this thread to address this, because if that's the official stance of ResetEra, I'm probably done with this community.

Y'all just need to accept that shit is not going to change and moderate your posts accordingly. Y'all want it to be one way, but its the other.

You should know by now what topics you can post free thoughts in and which you should keep your mouth shut and fingers locked until more information comes out. The moderation isn't going to change because the "worst" thing that could happen is they stifle dissent regarding false accusations. Whereas the opposite could allow for this site to become like reddit or GAF or any other place on the internet where racism, sexism, homophobia, and all manner of hatred is allowed to fester. It may not be fair, but this isn't a court of law its a video game discussion board.

Now, you may feel upset because someone you support or like is being labeled as something you feel is not certain. But trust me, those individuals don't need you to defend them on a video game discussion board. If you really feel strong about publicly supporting them, well Twitter still exists as does reddit and the rest of the internet. Go there and voice all your doubts and support if you feel stifled. But, when you're here then you need to hold your keypad and realize there is a bigger picture the site is trying to protect and so the individual poster is meaningless.

At the end of the day, if the accusation or whatever turns out to be false you can have your gloating moment. But you casting doubts on this board, especially in the early stages of a story, can only lead down a path where initial support for victims turns into a public inquiry.

If that's the direction forward for this site then it's no better than an alt-right echo chamber forum. Stifling civil discussion is not the way to go, bud.

The truth is we speak of moderation like it's a hive mind but it's not. Some moderators are great. Some moderators are incompetent. Some moderators are fair-minded, others are not. Some are too easily outraged, some are more chill. They're human.

So in the end, getting banned or not is too often a luck of the draw thing. And if you're a mod and you see your "comrade" ban someone for something you wouldn't, you're not going to side with the poster about it. You'll let it go. Again, it's human. Even if we give cops shit about the thin blue line thing. Cops are human.

Some places over-ban, some places under-ban, no forum is magical. This place definitely over-bans. Yes there are lots of assholes, nazis out there but there are also people with bad hair days. There are also misunderstandings. This place definitely needs a smarter approach to its moderation system. Thread quality has gone down from where it was as a result of smart, yet abrasive people leaving. I've seen people say sensible things and be banned.

I think Ya'll need to try and innovate. Come up with better forms of punishment, or more granular forms of muzzling people out of line. Just relying on current policies and best judgement is not enough. I feel there is a whole technological aspect to this that is being woefully under-used.

For example. Some people post very low quality content. One liners. Old shitty memes. They do nothing ban-worth but they clutter threads with time-wasting filler. Why not limit those people's post number per day to encourage longer posts instead of one-liners? Quota system in general seem like something worth exploring. Both for creating threads and posts.

i have to think that porn is unethical, but necessary (in a sense) if you're not in a relationship. i really don't think it matters how the porn is produced (amateur, professional, or whatever) - there's really something debasing and unnatural about watching other people have sex. plus the specific genres themselves are problematic. like why the recent fascination with incest?

I exclusively watch lesbian porn because there's no men in it.

 

I prefer fiction erotica. At least with that, I can use my imagination to picture the scene as an active participant.

 

Porn is simply a tool, not a form of entertainment. I've never really understood anyone who just watched porn for fun.

 

I never did understand the argument: "Porn isn't real." Like what does that even mean? The people are real. What they are doing is real. Their reactions are fake but who cares. If you wanted to do the things in porn you can if you have a consensual partner.

 

I enjoy amateur porn made by content creators I enjoy and trust. Also I am subscribed to some NSFW hentai artists on Patreon. Amateur porn produced by couples themselves is the best kind of porn, and is also 100% ethical since it's free of the abuse that can happen in professional porn.
