Damn they are MAD that a woman dared criticize Rey in the sequel trilogy.  :lol Her criticisms were literally that they didnt put in the work to make a compelling female lead beyond “she’s a woman”. Her criticism has nothing to do with the fact the lead is a woman, she has no problems with that.

Even had one idiot say that the woman who fucking edited the original trilogy is making sexist comments with these thoughts :lol :lol

It’s all about listening to women, right up until a woman actually dares give her thoughts on something. Then the white males of Era step in and declare they know best.

Just a friendly reminder that it may not feel like it sometimes here, but there are vtubers outside of the big groups. Plenty of those aren't into lolicons or are especially horny either.

As with all media I feel like its never black and white. I still play and enjoy games/music/tv/anime that have documented problems from creators to content to other stuff. I dont defend the bad shit though. Once you start defending the bad stuff... maybe its time to rethink things.

Yeah, I don’t defend Resetera.

Maybe Vtubers should be like western streamers and being genuine sex pests that bring IRL drama in everything they do than introverts with anime avatars.

People in discord are kind of anticipating the Vtuber thread getting Somethingawful'd at some point (they shut down all Vtuber discussion over Gura and Shion flirting with each other).

MC Sales threads don't feel MC Sales threads without Chris. Damn.

Feels like the first mod post stemmed from a lack of familiarity with this community, which provoked a unanimous negative reaction from regulars, then the moderation doubled down on their mistake with a slew of bans directed at the wrong people. This community is possibly in jeopardy due to a lack of understanding of the real problems these threads had been facing. If the moderation admits their unfamiliarity with a community and all the regulars of said community react negatively to the moderation’s decisions, that should be a big sign that doubling down on that is not the answer. Bad night for the Media Create community, and I think a huge mistake on the moderation’s part.

It's pretty difficult to just pretend this never happened and just jump back into sales discussion, people are heated and want to have their say about a community we all care about.

Quote
Honestly it's hard to go back to talking about sales right now with the ban graveyard that happened. I feel this should have been discussed with the whole community some more and not just a part of it.

Right now it feels like only the regulars got banned.

can you imagine the amount of goodwill there would be if literally all that happened was one mod stopped by to say "you know what, we fucked up, we're not all that familiar with the tone and regulars of this thread and we were a little more heavy-handed than we should've been, chris is now unbanned, have a nice day"

even if they didn't really mean it and they were muttering angrily under their breath the whole time, just doing that would possibly avert a revolt, more discord splintering, destruction of yet another community on era etc


but oh wait that takes actual leadership, humility, listening for once, the ability to be contrite without your massive fucking ego getting in the way  :doge

If anyone but slayven posted this I would think it was a pathetic attempt to distance themselves from the word "Woke," like everyone did with "yaas queen," "yikes!" "big oof,"  "sus," "I see you," etc.

But slayven is so dumb it's hard to imagine him having an agenda or plan in anything at all.  Like a squirrel chewing into an electric line.  It's not like they were trying to wreck your shit.

Kind of silly thing to do a this point. The thread has avoided being a cesspool of RE worst instincts for the most part and they avoid controversial shit that RE frowns about also for the most part. Feels shitty they are starting to shit and shun on Vtubers that they find “problematic” when the method of “ignore and don’t make a fuzz” seems to do wonders. Imagine if they do that for the rest of the forum rather than go apeshit for any perceived slight.

But everything needs to be a purity test. Hell, someone there was bitching that the whole gimmick of Kronii was being “mean” like it was equivalent of Matsuri and Marine pervert antics.

If the Japan sales discussion clowns had any dignity they would move their community to another platform asap.

However, I predict a grovelling apology from those that got banned with a commitment to "be better" next time a mod comes in throwing their weight around and accusing others of being ignorant.

I fucking hate the performative thread titles--slapping "RIP Gabby Patito" in the title of your thread for popcorning a murder investigation actually isn't a particularly thoughtful or compassionate touch, stop fucking making me think the phrase "virtue signaling."

Unrelated, but at this point the constructive criticism thread is basically just space for bootlickers to show how shiny they can get boots:

Quote from: Dmax3901
I gotta be honest I read the sales thread and it just seemed like a bunch of toxic children getting mad they couldn't continue to be toxic children. The ban that kicked it all off was for a single day, lol. Also, the comparisons to Asian era and trans era were laughable, it's a fucking sales data thread.

Quote from: WestEgg
The issue is that tempers boiled over because Media Create threads are subject to constant drive by troll posts and thinly veiled console wars that are rarely if ever moderated, but last night only Chris himself was initially banned, despite it having been obvious he was being baited by anyone even remotely familiar with the usual thread dynamics. Chris is probably the hardest working member on this site, and aside from doing the weekly media create threads, he also compiles the annual white paper reports with thousands of games worth of data, and it's probably not too much of a stretch to say that his choice to settle here after the collapse of gaf is what legitimized era as its successor.

Of course he isn't above the rules like anyone else on the site, but he's become a massive target for console war harassment, and it's hard to blame him for clapping back at times.  A big issue, a recurring one in other issues, is there was no real attempt by the moderation at de-escalation prior to the ban, no "Hey guys, stay on topic" and stuff like that which has usually come in the past when sales threads get heated.  Instead, just mass bans of anyone even critical of the moderation.  A staff post after the damage has been done is a case of hindsight, not prevention.

Yes, sales data isn't as important as other bigger issues with this site and with the world at large.  But for many people, the sales community is the entire point of this forum and where they choose to spend their time, so it's very important to them specifically. Of course they are going to flip out when it seems to be under attack.

Quote from: Dmax3901
The ban might've been misguided, but again, it wasn't a permanent ban or even a long one. The mods came in with guidelines moving forward which suggests that, regardless of how things were before, there are now more strict rules that will need to be followed.

The mass bans you mention were largely people being openly hostile towards the mods, continuing to post things directly in violation of the rules that had just been laid out and making inappropriate comparisons to the situations with minority groups on Era. I even saw someone insinuate a mod was somehow tied to an industry executive and thats why people were being banned, lol.

"Sure, the ban might have been misguided, but the real issue is people didn't shut up enough and take it. Someone went so far as to insinuate that the mod who was flexing being involved in JP development might have some kind of ties to a JP developer!"

They'll change it with each new topical issue, while continuing to ignore the fact that daddy Nintendo and their fav brands don't give a fuck outside of marketing campaigns driven by tweets.

So... they took the time of searching for Bruno's Twitter account and check if he said something there? ok...

Saw the post for the ban. And noticed that Bruno only had 37 followers. Does staff just search for reported users on Twitter to see whether they said something bad about moderation?

I find it funny how this freaking site (maybe) killed off an important part of this forums culture. Good job! This is some A-class example ''how not to enforce new rules'''

Owh yeah... keep mod duties to things done on this site, instead of off the site. Thank you very much.
And for the slightest chance to get them back. A true hearthfelt apology needs to be made, and i would even say some mods needs to get sacked and i wouldnt blame them. I would stay away as well

Wow we propably lost Chris, Lelouch said he doesn't wanna continue and we definetly lost Bruno MB thanks to someone being petty.
Good Job Mods and Admins on killing maybe the biggest thing that made this place stand out to other gaming forums and discords.

Just because I'm willing to play along with this new situation doesn't excuse the fact that none of this was handled right. Absolutely none of it, regardless of what intentions staff had, or what their endgame for better discussion is, absolutely none of that excuses how this was proceeded.

I have been absolutely livid the past 24 hours on how any of this went down, about how any of this required the force that was shown. And I won't forget it. Just because you didn't mean for this to happen, or mean for it to look like it happened because of certain reasons does not take away that it still happened. I'd say I would hope staff will do better with this community from this point forward, but I don't have much to go with.

See you next thread.

Usually off site drama is is being frowned up on and shouldnt be brought up in here ?
Ive seen people criticize mods or ERA on other sites/twitter before, this is the first time ive seen someone getting straight up permabanned for it. Especially since there was no warning or the user never had any bans or issues on ERA before that. It just comes out of left field for some of us.

Is it part of the ERA rules that off site comments will get you banned ? I never witnessed it so its new to me.

The biggest threat of fascism comes from the cops. If Trump wasn't so pants on head stupid he could have pulled off a coup using the local cops on the streets and daring the state governors to respond. Once the cops stop responding to local civilian control (and already civilian leaders are struggling to keep the cops under control) and center their power bases around union leadership the Republic is done. Someone is going to recognize that and they'll be a far bigger threat than Trump.

Think about a city like NYC. The NYPD has 35,000 sworn officers. NY State has 5,000 sworn troopers. There's only 21,000 in the New York National Guard. Even in smaller cities like Boston and Philly, the local PD outnumbers the state troopers, forcing a showdown between the governor with the national guard and the cops. That's if Trump didn't try to federalize the national guard and some units defecting to him.

As much as local chiefs of police will disagree, there's very little professionalism in law enforcement in the United States until you start getting to the federal level. Local cops may as well be local warlords in any sort of fascist uprising. It will be long and bloody with the fascists operating under the color of law to boot. We should thank our lucky stars that Trump didn't figure out the power he had in his cop union buddies willing to go all the way with him so long as they could continue to operate with impunity.

I agree with you. And honestly, this is not just happening here on Resetera - this is more and more common in many other life circumstances. The respectful confrontation of diverse, diverging opinions does seem to lead more and more to a fight and disrespect of the person in question rather than then challenging the idea. This is precisely why groups with diverging opinions do not talk to each other anymore.

The good news is that within corporations, conflict is a known problem. And corporations came up with PPI (Practical Process Improvement) rules to manage it. Part of the PPI is Ground Rules for meetings. I propose to adapt this set of Groud Rules to suit these forums. I leave it to the Mods to decide exactly which rules to take and which not, and whether to add new ones. These can be found here.

Some well-suited rules could be:

1) Participate and ask questions - everyone should be allowed to do so.
2) Do not dominate - allow all people to participate, do not exclude/ignore people.
3) Attack the problem, not the person - this is crucial for mutual respect and productive conversations.
4) 3 Knock Rule - if the thread is going off track or getting into too much detail, the mods can point this out and steer the discussion back on track. Bans should be used as a last resort, to be honest.
5) Have fun! We should still enjoy the discussion and feel allowed to politely disagree.

Just my two bits.



you'll be asking for a codified list of rules, with explicit reference to which one was broken when issuing bans next!

Only game that got some kind of response here on Era was CP2077. And I still stand by my opinion that Era should decide if they will treat all developers/games the same or not bother at all. These random decisions serve no purpose.

can you imagine the amount of goodwill there would be if literally all that happened was one mod stopped by to say "you know what, we fucked up, we're not all that familiar with the tone and regulars of this thread and we were a little more heavy-handed than we should've been, chris is now unbanned, have a nice day"

even if they didn't really mean it and they were muttering angrily under their breath the whole time, just doing that would possibly avert a revolt, more discord splintering, destruction of yet another community on era etc


but oh wait that takes actual leadership, humility, listening for once, the ability to be contrite without your massive fucking ego getting in the way  :doge

Quote from: B-Dubs, 6 hours after bore post
Thread is open again!

After hearing from well-meaning members I wanted to clarify again that the staff post was something that's been in the works for a while and in retrospect my call to rush it out yesterday was bad timing. The fact that it came on the heels of banning the OP (even just for a day) made it look like the two things were connected like some big statement, and that was never supposed to be the case. That was just a routine ban, the shortest we can possibly do.

The guidelines aren't asking for anything unreasonable and while they will be enforced, we're not going to be hunting for excuses to ban people over them. Going forward we are going to prioritize finding additional staff who are regulars in this thread and can handle its moderation. We really believe that those of you who are willing to give the guidelines a chance will end up with a better thread in the long run.

Now in case this needs to be said again: Don't troll. Don't try to use the guidelines as cover for your trolling. Don't go looking for drama. Don't make wildly inappropriate analogies or extremely hostile posts towards members or staff.

Believe it or not the staff hates drama. This was never intended to be a big dramatic change. The only goal is a friendlier thread where more people feel welcome to participate in good faith.

Yeah knowing that one of the mods is super hyped about this and even changed their tag to reflect it stings for me.

But hey its their choice. If they want to be hyped along with the others then I can't stop them. I just won't play it myself.

Left leaning? Maybe to right wingers and fascists. But really, era is more Libertarian.

To go off-topic for a bit, I've been in a lot of threads since the founding, and one thing I've noticed and talk about all the time on my own Twitter is how profoundly sinophobic era has been that is no different from even outside of the forums. How anti-sex and sex negative the forums are. etc. etc. There's a large lacking in intersectionality on this forum when it comes to a lot of discussion, and it's only gotten worse because plenty have left over poor moderation and failing to prevent a lot of preventable things.

Like those rules are so clearly "just don't be an asshole" and yet everyone acted as if they'd been denied oxygen lol.

It is funny to pop into this thread and see an entire community meltdown over a one day ban that they're now admitting was justified (since the convo pivoted to other things)
