Remove Offsite Quotes From Newsfeed

[Himu]

What is the quote

edit: literally got it upon posting this:

Everyone goes on and on about how much they hate Taco Bell, but they still go there because it gets the job done for a quarter the price of anyone else. Which is as Mexican as something can get.

That quote, as Curly said, is in the spirit of the Bore and deserves to stay. In fact, it's so good I thought it was a genuine Bore quote for years.

sadly it looks like the infamous quote is gone from the article though

This is cool and cheap.

Someone several pages back suggested having Mods for the Mods, essentially an "Internal Affairs" group. I was laughing to myself thinking this is an overkill, but on further reflection NeoGAF/ResetEra are basically the size of a large virtual city that's as diverse as New York city if not more.

How is this newsfeed worthy? I mean, you could cut it down to this:

NeoGAF/ResetEra are basically the size of a large virtual city that's as diverse as New York city if not more.

But the whole thing?

Offsite:

Harassing a person because they play on wi-fi should really be a bannable offense on this forum.

What is the context of this? It's not funny on its own:

No, they exist because they do.

My next game is generally progressive and I do somewhat fear some kind of targeted attacks or review bombing.

But fuck 'em. My grandfather fought in a World War. The least I can do to stick it to some Nazis is release something full of acceptance and love.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but Era does a pretty respectable job of helping to police this industry. The previous thread may have actually saved lives because it dug up some off-site shit, thanks to the Trevor Project donation which we now know is going to still happen. We've been the instigating, central point for numerous journalistic moves, including -- but absolutely not limited to -- the original story on places like GI concerning this.

Post your credentials so I can sweep you. Being an MIT MBA grad doesn't mean much in my circles. Homie that's not even an HSW (google it). You want to bring up how certain credentials makes others invalid of critiquing how other may be misinformed, as if an MBA from MIT specializes in international social media norms. Let's hop in a group message with some mod and post some info. I can possible refer you to my employer after you get this work.

These are terrible.

I mean, immediately after I see this and it's OBVIOUSLY a Phoenix Dark quote:

We live in a society where women get paid less than us, are abused by us, and are taken for granted by us. The least we can do is eat their ass.

And it's funny and in the nihilistic/cynical spirit of the Bore. The above quotes, how are they Bore-esque? How are they funny?

No. I meant this one:

No, they exist because they do.

You edited.

I don't know on that one.

[benjipwns]

I think that's a JayDubya quote? About natural rights.

[Mandark]

"They exist because they do"

A monument to my greatest triumph of futile online arguments about politics.

[CatsCatsCats]

Yeah, that’s our last shred of JayDub content

Who wants to come play badminton in my backyard tho?

Let the newsfeed be free.

On what earth is this news feed worthy

That's a good example of recent additions that just quote too much, there's barely a punchline in it and you have to know about the THQNordic/Child Porn conspiracy (I think?) that ResetERA.com convinced itself of and literally no one else cares about for the line about "we've been the instigating, central point" to have any effect.

It's probably better with just the first sentence about Era policing the industry. Like the one about it having the diversity of NYC that Cindi edited down earlier.

I'm generally more lax than this thread about offsite quotes in there, I think there's some decent ones, but I agree that some of the recent additions seem like too much has been quoted and some maybe need too much background info. Like the one about having "mod contacts" is a ResetERA.com quote I think, but it works because everything you need to know is in it, you don't need any further info for it to punch.

[benjipwns]

I will issue my full report at a later date.

[Coax]

The wall of text ones are the only obnoxious ones, honestly, since they disrupt the layout of page elements below, pushing everything downward upon refresh randomly. So for me it's not so much whether they're off-site quotes it just happens all those ones are.

And I don't collapse the header area since I like seeing our mascot Nick Frost

[Pissy F Benny]

newsfeed should be offsite quotes only imo

[BisMarckie]

I like your radical way of thinking.

[Nintex]

NEWSFEED HARASSMENT!!!!

[BIONIC]

Newsfeed should be thot pics only.

[Pissy F Benny]

offsite only or nintex fan fic only

[Nintex]

The 'big' losers of the Bore keep uploading offsite quotes. While completely ignoring our own
far better contributions that are far better. I would end it so quickly!

[Positive Touch]

Peanut butter + honey doesn't sound very good tbh, very messy too.

almond butter and honey, now there's a winning combo

[Positive Touch]

I don't know anyone (that I've asked or eaten with) that drinks wine. It's mostly a parent thing.

alright, which one of you said this

It can be a bit messy but the honey soaks into the bread mmmm should give it a try

Offsite, not any one of us.

Again the administration shows they have no respect for the forgotten men and women of the Bore
who've worked so hard for their posts only to be treated unfairly by bark and the other dogs

[CatsCatsCats]

No good mods until the bad mods are gone

[Pissy F Benny]

It's hardly messy.

[CatsCatsCats]

Not everyone is as graceful as you are, and honey is sticky 

[Himu]

Honey comes in bottles.



You tilt the bottle and just make some lines. No mess, no need for a knife or anything.

[CatsCatsCats]

But then sometimes I put too much close to the edge and it drips, you don’t need to judge me for this  :'(

[Himu]

I guess a big problem I've got is so much in the past, things were done based on community census. If we wanted newsfeed, someone would say it and then we'd all click like if we agreed or we'd all spam "newsfeed". In the past adding smilies was a community process. If it was good, we beg the mods to add it. Now it feels like Bork or whoever just adds things without going through the community and so much of what he's adding is from the shit thread, which many of us don't even read. So now we feel ignorant on what's going on in our own forum, which is used to be a tight knit place.

No bueno.

Because of this post, I got some strawberries out the fridge and poured honey on them. No mess, and ate them with my fingers.

[BIONIC]

You posted multiple times in the shit thread today after your planned “sit-in” 

[Himu]

Hey I needed a break and the mods aren't showing up!!

[BIONIC]

I am still sitting in!!

[Himu]

Also, I posted in the shit thread only to post SA news. I hadn't posted there in months to a year. Nor did I read it.

[BisMarckie]

I am neutral about off-site quotes. I only care if they are funny or not.

But more emotes is always better

[Nintex]

So true!

The neglect of our moderators has taken its toll. Our threads stand barren in cyberspace, our likes are depleted and the best of our members are leaving in droves or have been banned.

OK, I removed all (or most of them?).  So I guess enjoy having less newsfeed quotes.  Yay and stuff?
