If people are going to contact Eurogamer about putting a warning on their article you may as well contact IGN, PC Gamer, Destrucoid, Game Informer, etc too. They all have positive reviews up without any disclaimer.

Of course this post has been and will be ignored.

"What? you're telling me that no one gives a shit about this and now I have to contact every outlet, industry wide, to voice my displeasure that their reviews didn't mention the gay joke?

Nah, lets just gang up on Poor John and the rest of the industry will definitely get the message. Anyway, Poor John is the only sucker that will actually acknowledge our outrage. And he is even on our side, so if we just fucking drill it into him that he is literally harming me with his technical analysis he will surely stick around and become our closest ally, Right?"

It's like in school with bullies, they can sense the submissive guy like sharks, and will attack at will.
The Digital Foundry guy went in with his head down, apologizing, and now the feeding frenzy ritual can begin.

The truth is probably much more nuanced than any of us know, but given the history of John on this site and NeoGAF prior, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Again, this is his full time job, so it's probably much more complex than just "put up a disclaimer" on his part.

Why are they bringing up the realities of maintaining a full time job on a forum that is still coming to terms with the fact that adult dependents weren't invited to the corona bucks giveaway. Know your audience.

Is it bad? I've seen one video about how it's a decent throwback but it's levels maybe too long, but that's it.

It’s only “bad” if you don’t want to perform an old fashioned English “Turing Test” on the gays, which you clearly have no problem with you damn monster.

It's been so long I forgot if Dark1X was a chode on GAF or not.

Either way, why would you ever acknowledge era on anything? A lot of the time the "controversy" is one only a handful of their own userbase care about and doesn't translate outside of it.

He's a good guy and they're morons as usual.  Thread derailed by Messofanego bringing something up that has absolutely nothing to do with the content of that video or Digital Foundry.  Just typical reeeeeeeeeeeeeeee shit.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

So, just want to toss my 2c in here, apologies in advance if I misspeak on something, it's late o'clock my time but clearly I'm not gonna get much sleeping done.

First off, we do ban people for accusations like that. We don't ban people for commenting on the existence of rape apologists, because they do exist, and yes, some of them do support Biden. Patriarchy is messy like that. But if anybody is directly saying "you biden lovers are rape apologists" or some variation on that, report them, please. We ban for that. We also ban for hostility, derails into other significant-news topics like policy announcements, that sort of thing. What we don't ban, and probably won't barring a significant new revelation, is people calling Biden a rapist.

The reason for this is twofold. Firstly, we mostly don't ban for stuff people say about public figures unless it violates our rules around bigotry. And secondly... well, I gotta ask you something first:

With zero goddamn moderation to the opposing views while other who correctly read the situation are banned?

What's the correct read? Because I'll freely admit I don't know at this point. This is an unspeakably messy situation. In 2020, I'm not gonna act shocked when a powerful old white man gets accused of sexual assault. That's been sort of a theme of the last few years, it can really be just about anybody. So when Reade came forward and I listened to that interview she gave with Halper... She sure as hell sounded credible to me. And that's where the whole believe women thing kicks in. It means you take it seriously until you have real evidence otherwise. And we don't have that. But it's been made unspeakably messy. It got made messy by the Intercept writer coaching her and her brother. It got made messier when she pivoted from the National archives to the Delaware ones as soon as the Biden camp said they'd open the former. It got even worse than that when the Vox piece and then the new PBS one came out.

So, like, I think more than anything else, if I could call on anybody to do anything - and I realize I can't in here - it'd be to exercise more restraint. People don't like it when moderation does that, calls it censorship. "How can it be a discussion forum when only one side is allowed to talk?!?" and all that. And I get the sentiment, I do. But at the same time, if the situation is uncertain, and we know that abandoning uncertainty, calling Reade a liar or a Putin puppet or worse can do real harm to people, to other victims, to those thinking of coming forward... maybe just don't? Like, saying "I don't know what to believe any more" is a perfectly fine thing to do. Saying you're going to support Biden, also fine, not bannable unless there's some other context going on that twists the meaning significantly. And, yes, saying nothing is a valid option too. God knows that's how I made it through over the years. Staying quiet until I knew enough to speak with real, genuine certainty, which means I got a lot of time to listen and learn, and frankly I'm really glad I did, but... It's a tough one here, because we may never know for sure what happened. We might not get a clean resolution to this. And that's going to just...

God, this whole thing is such a misery-maker. That's unlikely to change.

Anyway, that's where I'm at, more or less.

So galaxy brain poodlestrike is going to be miserable until biden can prove that a thing didn't happen?

And yes, if you support Kavanaugh, you're a rape apologist at best. Full stop.

We ban for that.

I went to a London GAF meet and met this guy a few years back and he was a greasy slimy sort of guy, basically in the UK they're called club creepers, these creepy dudes that will sit in the corner of a bar and wait for girls to get drunk before speaking with them and offering a drink, he also had shit hygiene and only talked about bullshit Sony stuff before leaving after he realised that no one gave a single fuck about him.

Mercury Fred, official spokesman of PoliERA regulars, finally made a list of demands for the ERA mods for them to return:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/us-poliera-2020-ot5-guidance-recommends-quarantining-poliera.178039/page-366

-More transparency, consistency and accountability in moderation.
-Either completely git rid of the ban appeal process or make it something that is actually responded to and engaged with.
-Disallow the use of unequivocally labelling someone a rapist until there's rock solid evidence. Alleged rapist, sure, of course, but when the question is open it helps no one to allow that sort of absolute language.
-Illegitimate sources such as The Intercept should be treated like The Daily Mail and banned from the site.
-First apologize to then literally beg some of the high-contributing regulars who are gone to come back and then to make them mods.

That last one is just  .
He's could be joking, but given how high and mighty they are in PoliERA, who knows.

I also want to point out their desperation to get Kirblar unbanned and to get sphagnum perm'd (they are denying ban-baiting sphagnum is what they are doing but it's obvious that is what they are doing) is pathetic. Pretty obvious they want "Too Lefty/Socialist-ERA" to be purged from the forums.

[VomKriege]

PoliERA delivers again.

This didn't all start with the Reade allegation, the biggest problem with that is it created a permission structure where the worst posters on this site felt they had moral authority to do what they were already doing

You're not w...

that is, constantly getting all up in PoliEra's face and throwing out whatever weekly flavors of wild accusations against us that they felt packed the most punch in any given moment.

[Averon]

I also love how nuance and "not labeling people immediately and allowing doubt" is now the number one thing that needs to happen when that has been ERA's modus operandi even back during the GAF days. These are some of the most judgemental people I've seen. They loved labeling people as the worst human filth imaginable and get their high off being morally superior to them for often the most spurious of reasons. They did just that to John from Digital Foundry just yesterday because he dared to cover the port of Ion Fury. And we all know their new epiphany about allowing doubt about accusations start and stop at Biden. They will continue to be just as judgemental and quick to label other people.

All this handwringing is just a temper tantrum from PoliERA because they lost control of the discourse in political threads and others are pushing back on their often terrible takes.

When someones response to pointing out all the horrific shit Trump has done is 'yeah, well.....X politician signed this bill 20 years ago!' that is a bad faith argument. It's a dismissal and normalization of Trumps actions. It's dangerous, irresponsible and ignorant, and the fact that it's been allowed to go one for so long unabated is a fundamental failure to encourage useful, constructive discussion.

It is ignorant to inform people that some other politician already did thing X twenty years ago? 

He's mad that people are normalizing Trump by showing that some of his actions are already normalized?

Clearly you don't know my thinking and philosophies on white supremacy, nor in general are well versed about how much of a racial caste system America continues to exist under. The idea that it isn't everywhere is patently absurd. I suggest you start here with this book: Racism Without Racists. You have a day off now, and we're in a pandemic; even if you're essential, you have nothing else to do.

Why does this thread bother me so much? 5 pages of people saying shit like “I hate painkillers so I just deal with my headaches” Like why wouldn’t you just take an Advil?

I don't for two reasons:

1) I don't want my body to get used to it for the day I absolutely need it

2) I need to monitor the pain to make sure it doesn't get worse, and more importantly, you DO NOT want to prevent a fever as it's a defense mechanism and it can lead to disasters if there is a spread in your body that it didn't fight

I think this is my fav.
First, NSAIDs don’t lose efficacy with use.
Second, a fever can kill you dumbass. A temp of 101+ isn’t doing a damn thing for you and can cause brain injury or if you don’t take something for it can climb to 104+ and then good luck homie.

It’s nice to know that during a pandemic that can cause life threatening fevers, resetera is out there fighting the fight against life saving NSAIDs. I just don’t understand these people.

Most people don't understand the basics of OTC pain killers and fever reducers, how dangerous high fevers are, and conflate them with opioids.

This is why a lot of doctors are assholes and they lied about masks not working to stop N95s from being hoarded.

The community that I and Blaze belong to is actually a more underground community that is known as the Sonic Hacking community. The extent of the organization within our community is staggering. It's a true hacking scene. The word hacker has a lot of malicious connotations these days, so let me clarify - I mean hacking in the truest sense of the word. Every member of the community is there simply because they have a thirst for knowledge and a passion for what they do. The community specializes in ripping sonic the hedgehog up into microscopic levels and examining every piece of it. We operate in true hacking style - we're fiercely competitive, but at the same time, everything that is found is expected to be fully shared. Thus, discoveries and knowledge grow exponentially.

It might surprise many members of this board to find out that I'm merely an average member in the Sonic Community. I'm officially registered as an oldbie, someone who was around when the community was founded back in 1997-ish. I've contributed, and I know a fair amount more than average, but no where near the top. The top dogs of the community are truly special people, who's efforts are going to be discussed in great detail in this topic.

A brief history of our community. We enjoy membership into the hundreds range, making us a much larger community than, say, the final fantasy hacking community (I see some guys from their community regularly posting updates on their fan engine... great work, by the by) or the mario hacking community, and we're much older. We formed in 1997 as a group devoted to compiling information on flat out strange shit in sonic the hedgehog - magazine scans of levels that don't exist, lost items, etc. Pretty much what I posted in the last topic.

Kirblar went from being a neoliberal ringleader pre 2016 to being a banned scrub.

Mercury Fred, official spokesman of PoliERA regulars, finally made a list of demands for the ERA mods for them to return:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/us-poliera-2020-ot5-guidance-recommends-quarantining-poliera.178039/page-366

-More transparency, consistency and accountability in moderation.
-Either completely git rid of the ban appeal process or make it something that is actually responded to and engaged with.
-Disallow the use of unequivocally labelling someone a rapist until there's rock solid evidence. Alleged rapist, sure, of course, but when the question is open it helps no one to allow that sort of absolute language.
-Illegitimate sources such as The Intercept should be treated like The Daily Mail and banned from the site.
-First apologize to then literally beg some of the high-contributing regulars who are gone to come back and then to make them mods.

That last one is just  .
He's could be joking, but given how high and mighty they are in PoliERA, who knows.

I also want to point out their desperation to get Kirblar unbanned and to get sphagnum perm'd (they are denying ban-baiting sphagnum is what they are doing but it's obvious that is what they are doing) is pathetic. Pretty obvious they want "Too Lefty/Socialist-ERA" to be purged from the forums.

Why do they hate the Intercept?

Most recently? Its because one of their reporters (Ryan Grim) broke the Tara Rhede story. Overall, it's a center left publication with its own problems, but they don't like that it's run by Glenn Greenwald who was a russiga-gate skeptic.

MY DEMANDS BEFORE I RETURN TO THE BIRE
-More transparency, consistency and accountability in moderation. Especially regarding brother sex scandals.
-Either completely get rid of the ban appeal process or make it something that is actually responded to and engaged with on Discord only.
-Disallow the use of unequivocally labeling someone a rapist until there's rock solid video evidence that they raped someone. Alleged rapist, sure, of course, but when the question is open it helps no one to allow that sort of absolute language. This also applies to all other accusations when made against people we like. (At no time does it apply to the coward Mandark.)
-Disallow the use of history to undermine any of my histrionic thrashing tantrums that contain words like normalization or unprecedented.
-Illegitimate sources such as The Intercept and anything else that upsets me should be treated like The Daily Mail and banned from the site. And anyone who tries to post them should be permanently banned.
-First apologize to then literally beg some of the high-contributing regulars who are gone to come back and then to make them mods. Second, do this literally hourly to me personally or I will reissue my demands.

The responses from staff I have received in the last ten minutes are not what I would call satisfactory.

[benjipwns]

It has been over FIFTEEN MINUTES! Where are the staff?!? Why are they not catering immediately to my needs! My anger is untethered and knows no bounds!

[benjipwns]

I'm sorry, I forgive everyone, it's just this lying Johnson and the goddamn war, I hope we can all put this twenty minutes behind us and work together to have the demands met as quickly as possible.

Incel hates OP-ED's. Reads a bad one, and thinks they should be banned.

And in order to get this point across, she signal boosts it?

 

Why are Op-Eds everywhere becoming a breeding ground for privieged people with platform access

becoming? has she just discovered newspapers?

My 17 year old cockatiel just died.

I've never been so heartbroken in my life.

 

His name was Jericho (he looked like Chris Jericho) and he was my best friend.

 

He used to sing whenever someone was at the door, he sang to me Puertorrican Christmas Carols every single morning. I will miss him dearly. 😢

 

yeah i can see the resemblance. rip birdy

Glad the mods banned users posting that shit in the Obama broadcast thread, it’s incredibly low effort

It’s one of those things where there’s resistance to actually making a thread about how horrible American foreign policy is and what it actually means to be president and continue that policy, or how it could be improved. A thread that honestly focused on that would probably do numbers if it was framed from the start as an intelligent conversation.

PoliERA hates : WikiLeaks, Manning, Snowden, anyone that doesn't believe Russia isn't pulling the strings everywhere in service of evil, Bernard Sanders, being challenged on the innate goodness of US imperialism or the sanctity of the Party.

It's hilarious it's the one and only example that's cited for new banned sources to consider.
