They should have a thread demanding to know why Cerium moved the LLC to Delaware.

Although this is probably just a move to help pay the moderators and give back to the community.

Aren't lots of companies officially domiciliated in Delaware (despite not even being there) for tax reasons or something?

Yep, Delaware Corporations are super common, for legal reasons, along with tax and regulatory reasons. The real question is why would a small video game forum need any of these.

Quote from: oni-link

It's another mistake from the mod team, and one where an apology is required. If mods want people to be respectful and civil, then they can't go around dishing out petty ban messages, and they can't take out grudges on members or tell them to go and "pound sand"

I get that tone policing and a focus on civility can be used to dismiss real concerns, but gaming is a toxic enough space already, do we really want to make the argument that it should be fine to tell staff to go fuck themselves?

I think some people really grapple with the fact this is a video game forum. The gaming side and topics have the most posts, and most people use the site to discuss video games, so we should be asking what do we want from a video game forum, and how can it be inclusive and uplift voices/opinions/views the mainstream would dismiss, ignore or mock

The answer isn't to ban games or discussion of them. The whole Cyberpunk thing has been a mess. A lot of which is the mods fault, as they were blindsided by the user who was making the original OP, but the policy keeps changing and was never clearly communicated. For games like this, they should clearly lay out the policy before hand

- Only allow an OT, a thread specifically to discuss any issues with the game, and maybe a PC performance thread. Maybe only a review thread that compiles reviews in the OP, but is locked and doesn't allow for discussion/hype
- Ensure the OP of these threads clearly informs on the issues with the game, and harshly moderate anyone who handwaves or downplays them
- Lock every single other thread for the game, regardless of whether it's positive or negative, so those who don't wish to discuss/see the game on the forum can just ignore the handful of permitted threads on the game and browse the forum safely

Instead we have an OT that is almost impossible to follow as so many topics are being discussed, then what seems like only negative threads allowed. So uses who want to discuss the game, struggle to, or have to go off site, to places that are less inclusive, and users who don't want to discuss or even think about the game are bombarded with negative thread after thread

If you ban these games, then everyone on Era has to go off site to more hostile places to get info on or discuss these games.

Either way, a clear and unwavering policy needs to be laid out by the staff, in an easy to see place, so everyone is clear on the sites stance, before the next controversial game drops

If Era would rather ban discussion and send people away from the site, to places that are much more hostile to minorities, then by all means, ban away. If they'd rather contain the discussion here, where members can safely discuss the game and any issues with it, then that needs to be communicated so it doesn't breed contempt and pettiness.

I think I've shat in Oni-Link's direction before, but I gotta admit... have to agree with him here. Its a pretty logical and reasonable position.

Makes me wonder when he's going to get banned for it.

Quote from: Plum

Era definitely loses a lot of perspective when it comes to issues of class and the job market. It seems impossible for people to simply... not brag about how well their life is going; to just shut up for a while and not make other people feel inevitably jealous and/or depressed at their situation. It's all well and good to be "aware!" that you're privileged but, well, that doesn't mean you have to talk about it. As someone who's been working in a Supermarket this entire time: I know about all of this. I've had plenty of customers who are simultaneously "aware" enough to take the pandemic seriously but not aware enough to see how bragging to me about their successful job might not be that welcome.

Ah well, you see....

Quote from: Plum

It's fine to be bitter sometimes. Even if it's not 'their fault' it's still not necessary for them to talk about their privileged experiences. Personally it's grown really tiring seeing so many otherwise liberal-minded people act as if working-from-home is this thing that most of us can, and are, doing. I doubt it's intentional, but it needs to be called out sometimes because, well, the comfy work-from-home crew is not the one that needs all that much, if any, attention right now.

I mean personally it's hard not to be a bit bitter when you're in a job that pays poorly, is constantly public-facing, and doesn't even get the prestige of other 'essential workers.'

Of course, it would be folly to point out that that person is apparently in employment, has access to a computer and presumably hot water / electricity / shelter. They also have time to waste moaning on games forums. Not privileged though, no. That's those others.

As the NeoGAF user Peltz pointed out in a thread that has since been deleted, many of the forum’s regular participants were upset not just about the allegation, but about how Malka handled the situation. “If he allowed the criticisms to flow and responded humbly, then this community would still be strong,” wrote Peltz.

Quote

After less than a day, ResetEra already appears to be faster and more lively than the current NeoGAF board. The group that founded ResetEra say they set it up as an LLC, and that no single person will be in charge of the site, which they hope will prevent the same catastrophe from happening again.
