[nudemacusers]

dunno why anyone would think that more minority representation would 'fix' moderation on reset when it's pretty clear that the people that end up getting selected to mod are mostly just thin skinned douches lol.

[nudemacusers]

also does anyone at this point actually believe bans are reviewed by a team of mods? they can't even get their "staff message" story straight half the time lol.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

They're generally good at reporting the facts as they stand, even if obviously like a lot of other UK media their opinions are... to put it kindly, suspect. To put it less kindly, fucking awful. This is sort of the problem with establishment media - they're the only ones with the resources and editorial control to work as solid fact-based sources but so much of that editorial control is also bent towards really really bad ends.

well what is he supposed to do when ketkat is in the thread with a torch and people are starting to talk about transphobia? 
windrunner is so fucked 

[Hermit]

these inexperienced morons get so overwhelmed and then have to "talk to the team"

gotta love it

[Uncle]

They don't care, it's just a circle jerk to act like they're listening. Yet we still allow discussions of stuff like DQ11, Kingdomcome Deliverance and CDPR shit when all of those companies have racism, homophobic and transphobic issues. Yet we're going to still discuss and give some semblance of free product endorsement and celebrate these works and companies? All the while we have various minority communities that run the gambit of what these bigots target.

Like, I'm sorry and I know it's just tip of the iceberg shit, but like... stand with these people. You're gonna change logos and shit to show support, yet still boost companies who actively hurt these communities??

 

[HaughtyFrank]

It's amazing how they keep bitching and bitching

[Nintex]

Just read through this thread and the views in this thread are absolutely astonishing.

I am in disbelief that bans were given in this thread and it really makes me reconsider being a member of this forum if is to continue.

With Asian Era Meeting coming up, the mods have to address this....shocking!

Come from reporting the same person that's trolled gaming-side trans topics for a month to this one and find bans being given out like candy for those sticking up for someone who's been groomed and repeatedly abused since a child.

What.

I like how the T's have been able to spin any thread as of late back to trans rights.
I mean, it's quite astonishing to do that in a thread about ISIS 

Also what fun topics to talk about on what is supposed to be a video game message board.

[Pissy F Benny]

i played a little bit of kingdom come on gamepass and other than the dude who made it being a tosser it doesn't have any of his dodgy views represented in what i played, so idk what they're on about there

and isn't that accusation with dragon quest even more tenuous cuz the vile bigot they're talking about a character designer or some shid

[HaughtyFrank]

Clearly 15 year old girls are incapable of any independent thought and can't be expected to take responsibility for any of their actions or wants.


That's some real TERF talk on RE

All 15 y/o girls should be assigned an adult male husband to help guide them through life, so they can avoid the pitfalls of joining ISIS. It worked for messofanego's wife.

[Transhuman]

The truth is that she joined an authoritarian religious cult (ISIL), but good luck getting anyone to call it that

[Switters]

I played a little bit of KCD and it was the lamest shit imaginable

That game has a hidden main character actually has severe cerebal palsy mechanic that I didn't enjoy. I keep going back to it though hoping it gets good. As it is I bide my time sneaking through poor people's houses in my underwear and choke them out while they sleep.

[HaughtyFrank]

Also, I wonder what would've happened if she'd have been a white filler voluntarily joining that other terrorist organisation - the idf.

 

Edit: lol word filter

I’m hoping the mods go ahead and cave to the demands of the idpol wreckers and ban all Cyberpunk 2077 talk right before launch. The shitstorm would be

Ketkat shows up in any thread where there is some form of controversy just to stir up shit. It's amazing how scared the modmins are of her.

KetKat going balls deep on Windrunner. I think it's time for another blood sacrifice to the woke gods.

If poodlestrike had even trace amounts of integrity, he would have asked;

• How the fuck is The Guardian transphobic as a media outlet, and
• Even if they are, how the fuck does that bear any relevance to an opinion piece regarding the rights and obligations of citizenship in a sovereign nation

As he clearly doesn't, he will use his duties and responsibilities as Mod Captain to totally throw a fellow mod under the bus

[Nintex]

Think about it this way, only fascists would not feel remorse and sadness for the trials and horrors of a lady who volunteered for ISIS.
If anyone deserves a break it's her. I mean she's the victim here.

[HaughtyFrank]

Still haven't had a link that she was "recruiting women" and "sewing people into suicide vests" that isn't ultimately from the Mail or Telegraph either btw

What's wrong with the telegraph now?

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

fined for owning a brakeless fixie again***

got a fine again for having no brakes on my fixie (bicycle)

german police are such tight asses

ok I know it‘s a small issue compared to other issues but still

i should have just ridden away, but many years ago i did that and they caught me and i got more shit

i know htf to ride, and i don‘t endanger anyone, except myself. plus it‘s not „no brakes“, you can still brake with a fixie by skidding and controlling the pedal, it‘s simply about half effective braking distance than a normal rim brake. and so many people ride bikes with bad maintenance and shit brakes any ways or idiots on e-bikes and e-scooters thinking they sonic or some shit and think they own the roads and bike lanes/paths. but i get the fine

any way, fuck em. german laws are sometimes dumb as fuck, „fixies are illegal“. dumbest shit ever

any other fixie riders? esp. in germany? what do you do to avoid the coppers

 

OP has illegal bike entirely for fashion reasons
OP gets caught and fined with illegal bike
OP makes an OP that backfires, even on ACABera

According to my super accurate sources that predicted a big Nintendo Direct today (not a Mini) that was switched out at the last minute, I have it on good authority that she only packed lunch for ISIS members going out to peacefully protest the American occupation of Kurdistan.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

the telegraph (Torygraph) leans politically right wing which makes it 'bad' to the kind of people who will retweet a total falsehood if it aligns with their worldview

[Shuri]

Since all the bans are approved by a so-called mod captain, the mod captain who approved those bans should be made public and shamed. The mods who submitted those bans and the mod captain that approved them should be removed from power. The admins love to go on and on about transparency and fairness, but it is obvious that they don't care about any of those concept when they screw up, over and over again.

Until they make everything public, and suspend offending mods, ResetERA should never be considered a safe, accepting space for Muslim and Asian as long as those people are still in a position power in the moderation team.

[Nintex]

I think it's perfectly fine to be upset at the current state of Nintendo marketing. Specially because Switch is a sucessfull console. People do buy a console to play released games and there is an implicit mindset that implies that for a certain time span there will be new games releasing. It's a cultural thing to expect first party games to come, specially with Nintendo, even more when the third party offer isn't that good (but it's an evolution from WiiU days). Hell, this is what Nintendo is after all. Nintendo consoles = Nintendo games. At least, one can argue that their brand strategy is really good: their IPs are one of the most iconic and the most played on the world, some are even the best selling games out there. Then, the tradeoff: people expect their IPs more than any other game. What people expect from Nintendo seems pretty normal to me: their games. People want to know what they will play day one, week one, month one, year one, whatever. They want to save money, or want to play something else before the next big hit. Nothing wrong to me.

Consolidated development around one platform is apparently not providing the boost in title development. And you cant use COVID as an excuse. Nintendo has bluntly stated COVID has had NO impact on their 2020 titles. So if this is all 2020 is talk about a drought. Switch being a big success due to covid is their only bright spot at this point as a company. They have failed to deliver software

Narrator: Nintendo had just released a video game 4 days ago

ISIS will soon have a rival

The "review bombs" are from years ago. Switch has a joke lineup for any enthusiast gamer older than 12. Anyone wasting their time to whine about "haters" and defend a year of nothing but more overpriced ports, a Solitaire collection and Sticker Star 3 is a perfect fit for resetti.

BAN THE MODS AND KILL THEM FOR THREAD DERAILING

Can't wait for the "We need to talk about Shamina Begum...." thread for the people who didn't get to finish teabagging Windrunner's corpse.

Some really uncomfortable things happened in this thread when it came to moderation and staff participation. Full disclosure, I participated in the meta discussion. I encourage everyone to look through the thread to get the full picture.

Things start out typically for any subject about the criminality of a minor and Muslims on Era: They are given much more severe judgment by posters than any white people who joined an extremist group especially if they.


But then things take a turn. Windrunner, a moderator, comes in, saying that while she's sympathetic to Begum and the death of her children, she believes that Begum deserves to be imprisoned her entire life. This is in spite of Begum joining ISIS at 15, lacking a direct connection to any crime committed that would warrant such a sentence. All on top of the rape and grooming that she experienced.


At this point, people began taking issue with this stance — as you'd hope they would — calling it unacceptable, especially given that someone with a similar stance was banned for a month on the first page. First is Lord of Ostia, who asks why someone who was so abused deserved a life sentence. Windrunner's response? "Okay, dude" Lord of Ostia then mentions their history as a victim of grooming and abuse, which I would argue gives us a better perspective on Begum’s situation.Posters are then seemingly allowed to openly advocate for Begum receiving life imprisonment.


This is when the bans began. First is Baki, who called out Windrunner's post. The ban reason mentions both concern trolling (without clarifying how) and a history of dismissing sexual misconduct, which is neither relevant and something I could not personally verify. The conversation continues, with Lord of Ostia making a comment that Windrunner has left the conversation, only for Windrunner to return. I suggest reading the page from here on out as it's a one-two-three of bans for "hostility" that are immediately called into question by users.

It’s then that Poodlestrike puts up a staff post, which basically states that advocating for a harsh punishment is fair game, but openly discussing such a suspect series of bans is not. He tells people to discuss moderation issues privately, which I suspect will be ignored, as anyone who has tried to appeal a ban decision can testify. Let's not forget the Ketkat Incident where hell had to be raised for the situation to be addressed.

Despite the staff post, people continue to raise objections, causing Poodlestrike to direct public discussion to the upkeeping Asian Era discussion. I and others find this unfair, as it would dilute that discussion's topic and only kick the can down the road. We also see some people interested in the Asian Era meeting expressing doubt on the staff's actions.

Redcrayon then comes in and starts trying to make gammon (a term used against right-wing British people) a hateful term. Personally, their argument reminds me of when TERFs try to say TERF is a slur. At this point, it's obvious the mods have lost control of the situation as no one else is catching a ban despite, I would argue, the conversation being more "hostile" than the posts that kicked off this debacle. Some choice posts calling out the inconsistencies: 1 2

Windrunner returns with a post to elaborate their thoughts. In response, users Timm and Ketkat question the authenticity of Windrunner’s latest post, pointing out contradictions between this post and previous ones. The thread is immediately closed as having gone off-topic.

So Era, that’s what happened. I wanted to give this situation the light of the day for people who weren’t just in the thread. It’s seriously making me question the impartiality of mods, and if they practice what they preach when it’s them being pushed on. Have things gotten better since trans era had to revolt?

Free Lord of Ostia, Free Baki, Free Salty_Josh, ban me if speaking truth to power.

Special thanks to my editor on their work here.
