User Banned (1 Month): Admitting to fraud and exploitation

Lowkey excuse to mention that one time I had my friend MSpaint my name over theirs on their degree and I wound up with an agency gig teaching the Vietnamese defense minister's daughter. Shame me all you like for the deception but fuck that authoritarian asshole, I felt alive and that kid loved our classes. Then eventually (ie. less than two months) I got paranoid, quit and hopped on a plane to Indonesia with my then-girlfriend.

User banned (permanent): admitting to fraud and exploitation, account in junior phase

Definitely possible in certain countries. I once got a job at a public school in Thailand after backpacking and deciding to hang around for a few more months, no one ever even asked to see my degree and I worked on a tourist visa lol. This was only two years ago so it's still viable for sure.

But Japan (and Korea, where I am) are strict on documentation. The longest application process I ever did. Nearly gave up a few times.

Chairman Xi is proud of this swift application of the law

Lmao Shadow the Hedgehog.

[Boredfrom]

To be fair, i would guess the game could have been much more different back then, and SE/Marvel probably hoped for CD to pull off Tomb Raider critical reception for the game   

   I can’t see Crystal Dynamics and Square thinking about making Avengers not a GaaS multiplayer experience. The power fantasy of becoming an Avenger demands that the game should be a multiplayer game as a service experience, imho.

If he is not Zatt Murdock, at least is safe to say he works in PR.

I remember similar talk for Spider-Man. There was no way that people will call it a GOTY with RDRII, God of War, Monster Hunter World, etc. These are two different games, but I firmly believe people are still underestimating this game here.

[Boredfrom]

So I was quick shopping at a grocery store, there is a line and I go behind this family with a little girl. I noticed that she was looking at me and and then waved at me but I just looked at her for a second and ignored her because I didn't want to look like a random pedophile by waving at a random little girl in the middle of the line, and I see a glimpse of sadness in her eyes (not sure maybe I was imagining things, since everyone was wearing a mask) and I was trying to ignore the little girl while waiting in line the whole time. After checking out my stuffs and thinking back, I feel like a total shit for not acknowledging her and waving back.

tldr; a little girl waved at me while waiting in line,but ignored and looked away, now I feel like a shit for not acknowledging her wave

Alex, aka Dictator still posts there. Guilt by association. Six degrees of bigotry.

Alex got--and continues to get--his fair share of shit from them (mostly console war and PC crap) and aired his frustrations more than once, but he seems to be built from sterner stuff than John and can better take the heat. Though I agree that it is only a matter of time before they accuse Alex of being some bigot or alt-right "friendly" or some other nonsense because they are like a hungry dog with a bone once they mark you as "suspect."

This thread made me pissed off at Linneman again. I need to know what everyone else at DF thinks of this.

Oh yes, they coming for you Alex! Denounce John!

It was obvious that the dude didn't give a shit about the bigotry surrounding the game, he was only upset about the fact that he couldn't buddy it up with bigots without people calling him out for it. It wasn't feeling like shit because he was buffing up the revenue stream for a bunch of bigots, he was feeling like shit because we wouldn't let him enjoy his games in peace.

Looking forward to this. Anything similar to Hexen or Heretic will be a day 1 buy for me.

The 3D realms thread

Using that line of thought, I want to ask you a question:
Would you be fine buying a videogame that is 100% socially acceptable if it was developed by Adolf Hitler? Assuming he was still alive today and having the same exact role in life as he had during the WWII days.

Make a game that is offending in nature i.e. homophobic or whatever then yeah I can see why people would boycott that, however if they make a game that has none of that then I don't see the issue of buying said game.

You are supporting bigotry, thanks dude!

At this point it feels almost useless to try & get people to understand that the way this forum operates - especially when it comes to things like we've seen in this thread - only harms people who aren’t the cishet white men that can all ignore this shit & „separate the art from the artist“.

Saying shit like this forum is „extremist“ & mentioning "cancel culture" is hilarious considering all the harm Era has done & continues to do to minorities of all kinds. But of course people on Gaming side wouldn’t know or care in the first place & would rather believe right-winged fucks off-site when they say this forum is filled with radical leftists & communists & whatnot when it’s instead mostly filled with centrist, capitalist shits & liberal fucks at best who would rather see more people hurt than accept change. All we are is a loud minority who even then still gets talked over by everyone else ridiculously fast so it never feels like our words have any fucking weight.

When even an Admin seems to not care the slightest amount, I doubt things are ever going to change for us. Y’all are actively driving away minorities with the way you’re handling things like these, but of course nobody wants to properly talk about it. At best you’re just driving us away from Gaming side, at worst you’re driving us away from the whole forum.

Apologies if this isn't OT enough, but it's just disgusting to see people here defending their positions the way they are while we literally have a thread where all the alt-right & white supremacist devs are listed that were also present in the stream. When you're in a stream with so many other outright alt-right devs in by a publisher who also jumped to the defense of a transphobic, homophobic & ableist devteam you do not deserve the benefit of the doubt. Have some god damn moral standards & backbones for fuck's sake.

Its because they keep ratcheting up the offences until people can't be bothered to argue anymore, then wherever the absurd point things had got to in the last thread becomes the new baseline for all ongoing threads

[HaughtyFrank]

I mean, don't forget that they had promised donating to an LGBT cause and then -- when that turned out to be an awful 'look' for them -- decided to start downplaying everything immediately. We got any receipts on that donation of theirs? Because if we don't, I'm willing to bet it never happened. And if it never happened, that's verifiable lost money to a good cause on account of homophobes and transphobes which amounts to serious damage against that community in my opinion.

I mostly remember it because the original release had a memory leak and you had to wait 20 minutes for it to load 

[BIONIC]

Alright, let's get into details.

First, about RedEye: He didn't actually accomplish anything. We were already in the middle of discussing how to reopen the discussion when he made his threads. At most, it slowed us down and stressed out some mods. This thread was going to be recreated regardless. But even assuming that is untruthful, spamming threads in violation of the TOS is always going to get a ban period. We messed up on a number of things, but this ban wasn't one of them. Redeye will serve out their ban, which they earned. He was not the only person who raised this issue to us, publicly or privately, but he was the one spamming the forums.

Since the topic of context came up, sure, there's instances where we'll look for the context of a post, which could tilt our decisions one way or another. Anger in a thread about a senseless tragedy, for instance, probably won't be an issue unless it's just insanely out of line. But spamming threads to "get our attention" also interferes with the site as a whole, as other users have to pass several threads in order to get to the ones they want, and it ignores the fact that we can’t actually address anything if we’re busy dealing with duplicate threads.

Now, let's talk about staff's mistakes. For starters, the initial thread lock of the meeting takeaway thread was a mistake. It was getting incredibly derailed, but we should've just taken a harder line on troublemakers. We needed to open up a thread like the current Constructive Community Discussion thread earlier to provide an outlet for people who weren't doing anything wrong but felt like they needed to discuss issues with the staff publicly. In the meeting itself, we could've acknowledged and handled the specific complaint around mod accountability better, and closing the meeting before we'd come to a real conclusion only exacerbated the negative feelings afterwards. The intention was to keep the thread open long enough to gather all the feedback we could, not to stay open indefinitely, but this was badly miscommunicated. That's on us, and I apologize.

All that said, we can't go back and undo those mistakes, which is why we're here now, trying to see what is best going forward. We've done a review of all the bans done in the related threads, and overturned or reduced several that, in retrospect, were hastily done. If we missed somebody, feel free to report their post, but be aware: We're not offering a general amnesty here. Some people said or did things that ultimately mean they had to be banned, and they will stay banned for the duration given to them. Not all behavior is excused or waved away by our mistakes here.

Ultimately, we've collected a great deal of feedback both from this thread and the Constructive Community Discussion thread, and we've put out a roadmap of goals and features that we're aiming to get done to address that feedback. Some of those features and policy changes we've implemented and/or previewed already. There is a great deal of work involved in getting these things done, and we're going to continue to put in that work.

Redeye did accomplish something. People saw what was happening, and were (rightfully) annoyed when they felt a pattern was being repeated.

We’ve been telling you have more open feedback for years. Keep the apology, but give us detailed plans on what you’re thinking of doing—and a timeframe.

Yeah, I would never have been clued in on all of this if it wasn't for RedEye's threads. I would've missed the first few of them that got locked and burried too.
