I won't add to the mountain of notifications B-Dubs is receiving right now but I too would like to thank him for looking into this as soon as he did. I understand it may take some time but I hope everyone can reach a resolution the community is satisfied with and hopefully Chris, mazi and everyone else who left reconsider their decision.

Can this cunt get any more pathetic?

Before someone posted the discord chats he was cheering on cvx  :lol

I'd argue cvxfreak having a more active role in moderating the thread going forward could warrant a bit more patience from regulars before cutting ties, considering his history with this business and these threads.

Oh yeah, he had his tongue buried so far up cvx's arse he could taste his breakfast.

Quote from: cvxfreak
The aggressive responses in here are clearly from people who don't actually read Japanese, only filtering the info through Google Translate for a surface level understanding, and then making assumptions about what the overarching point of the talk is, culminating in the perpetuation of false information. It needs to stop.

A thousand times this. The sheer arrogance of some folks drunk off their custom tags when they don't even understand the language of the country whose market they claim to be experts on (above people who actually work there, apparently) is completely bonkers and the main reason for the constant toxic atmosphere that plagues these threads. Just plain refusal to even entertain the notion that they may be wrong sometimes.

It's like the expert on japanese culture GAF meme, but actually serious.

Good grief indeed.

From the totally constructive community criticism thread

Quote from: Dmax3901, post: 73747567, member: 4989



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: Dmax3901, post: 73755961, member: 4989

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.


Dmax being a total bitch and angling for that mod position :lol

When someone gets banned there is a sizeable portion Era that says, Well, they were banned so they must have done something bad.  Oh, that's all they did, well the mods promised to be kinder in the future.

Basically, What did she do wrong for her husband to beat her?

  • era mods are scrambling to communicate with chris and the other banned users who actually made a valuable contribution to their hellhole, promising them fruit baskets and offering them absolutely unfair amounts of protected user status if they'll just please come back
  • era mods are fuming at the user revolt and privately shitting all over chris for being such a fragile white snowflake to take his ball and go home over a one day ban, and may even comment alluding to it, "maybe sales era wasn't as much a community as everyone thought if a slap on the wrist was all it took to shatter it completely," everyone who speaks up will be banned and that will be the end of it

breaking news:

chris1964 will be thrown under the bus as an always-bad™ due to his privileged audacity to shrug when tyler malka diddled a girl in the shower, he only left gaf because everyone else did

https://www.neogaf.com/threads/media-create-thread-week-42-2017-oct-16-oct-22-read-intro-please.1454698/page-2#post-252852552

Quote from: Chris1964
I don't really care for the whole situation that has occured but since I'm a sales guy I'll go to the place where there is a similar audience and right now almost the entire sales community has moved away. It wasn't my intention to abandon NeoGAF anytime soon and certainly not with this way but with current circumstances it's very difficult to keep participating since I focus only to a one forum.

Since almost all with experience to create a Media Create thread have left I understand it will be difficult for someone new to offer a smooth transition and it will need a lot of patience but if there is willing there will be found a good solution sooner or later.

This will be the last post from me here, to those who will continue I wish good luck.

I wonder if B-Dubs gonna keep cvxfreak on staff despite the outcry. If he let cvxfreak go because Discord chats were leaked, then that may open the floodgates on getting other staff in trouble by leaking their dirty laundry. Off-site sleuthing was only suppose to be used against fellow regular members, not mod staff. That's probably was B-Dubs' original intent when he sanctioned off-site sleuthing against members during the CP 2077 debacle.

It is hilarious that the CP 2077 fallout continue to be a source of many of B-Dubs' problems with the mods and staff :lol

I have not been paying much attention to gaf but I am reliably informed that there have been some shenanigans over there, tyler has gotten more and more heavy handed during biden's presidency to the point where whatever was left of the gaf userbase made their own secret discord where they draw memes of tyler, which has only infuriated him more

he has handed out dozens of bans every month in a userbase that really can't take that kind of hit

there are 279 users online at gaf right now which is only double the bore's
:notlikethis

one user was recently permabanned for being upset that while history has been made with the US's withdrawal from Afghanistan, any discussion about it is forbidden at gaf because it's political and there can be NO political discussion

Absolutely not. When Tyler looks back he's more likely to think "I gave those backstabbing fucks the best years of my life and they abandoned me because some ungrateful slut got mad; but I showed them. I showed them all. I win fuckos. I always win."

So, they decided to let Leo live out his delusions of still being a U.S. Marshall investigating the island to help him snap back to reality. Huh? It's also made clear that they legit let Leo basically do whatever he wanted while under the delusion, allowing him to freely wander the island more or less, interact with the other mental patients freely, etc.

In all sincerity, as someone who avoids the mongs over at ResetERA like the plague and has no interest in adding to their traffic, I would be really interested in you starting this up.

Way ahead of you fam

Quote from: CloseTalker, post: 73856266, member: 3383

The native PS5 version of Horizon Forbidden West is still listed at $10 more on PSN and every physical retailer, but it now offers no functional benefit to just buying the PS4 version and doing the free upgrade. No extra content, no reason to buy it other than to scam uninformed customers out of $10. Am I missing something? Does this not seem incredibly shitty?


Quote from: Chille, post: 73856800, member: 37658

I plan to pay the extra money, I have a PS5 the upgrade system is designed so you don't rebuy the game not to save money

It's a free upgrade program not a discount program. I have a PS5 I don't need to upgrade therfor il buy PS5.

I want to preface this by saying I know I'm not a Media Create regular. I don't believe I've ever even previously posted in one of these sales threads, since I'm relatively uninterested in sales data. However, as it is of a direct relevance to the present situation with Chris, I feel I should at least offer up something that suggests even further that Chris's ban was unwarranted.

These posts are from the Era-affiliated "BiohazardERA" (Resident Evil) Discord server, which I've been in for awhile. The official stance from a moderator of both the server, and site (cvxfreak) is that the server is literally an extension of Era, and thus, I feel it's fair game to post anything from it that would be pertinent to the present situation:

(Image removed from quote.)

The snarky post that Chris was banned for occurred on September 19, at 9:14 AM PDT. This was after cvxfreak had already made some bad faith posts in the BiohazardERA server, mocking the Media Create regulars and community, and acting proud for "shutting Chris up":

(Image removed from quote.)
(Image removed from quote.)
As can be seen, this post was made at on September 19, at 2:41 AM PDT, which... predates Chris's snarky post, obviously. How is it that cvxfreak is allowed to publicly (or privately, if you consider BiohazardERA to be a private community) make bad faith commentary against Chris and the Media Create community, but Chris is the one banned for perceived lack of decorum?

(Image removed from quote.)

This is not the first time cvxfreak has behaved in bad faith, either, and I have further screenshots, should anyone be interested. I know this is about Chris, not me, but just recently, cvx brought up one of my Era bans to use against me in an argument, since a Resident Evil poll I made here did not go as he expected. Additionally, I've observed him waiting for one member in particular to slip-up, so that he can give him the banhammer.

If I get banned for this post, so be it. Thank you to all the mods and admins that have tried to keep the peace, but a serious conversation must be held with, and about the mods that do not.

I don't like to throw autistic round as an adjective recklessly, but people obsessed with collating data about their hobbies over a period of many years are definitely closer to the rain man side of things than not, so it should be absolutely fucking obvious to anyone (ie not resetera mods with their superpower of being extraordinarily shit at their one job) that dropping a ban on someone that was unfair, illogical, and was not justified by any formally established rules, was going to have that person absolutely fucking livid about it - even if it was "only one day" - and people of a similar mindset were absolutely going to have fucking 'receipts' for their follow up - because a big fucking chunk of their lives is collating 'receipts'

cvxfreak is a bit more "important" than Black Chamber.  He's actually in the industry and has connections to Limited Run Games as well as being a found of Brain Wave.  This is not a good situation for neither Era's industry legitimacy nor its staff.

They'll give as much of a shit as they did when TheTrin was personally linked to stealing money from indie developers

I initially thought they'd just Royalan him

To clarify, you mean demod for a couple of months, but still post as a highly protected user with custom tag, and then silently re-mod them when the fuss dies down?

In defense of CVX Freak, Chris was stirring up some shit and mocking him a bit over the exchange they had.

Constructive thread slowly heating up, although I'm still expecting staff to successfully ignore it all away.
Quote from: TheMoon
This embarrassing showing over the weekend has hopefully finally illustrated for the last time that the way moderation is handled on the day-to-day needs to be seriously looked at.

The plain simple fact is that this forum is still being moderated in the same exact way as the orange shithole was with petty mod grudges and trigger happy ban-behavior to give people a "time out" when a warning would have perfectly sufficed. Bans don't do shit when your "offense" is some basic form of complaining about a thing (among them moderation issues, things that used to be called "thread whining"). They usually happen for a reason. And instead of addressing the cause for it, the symptoms get ...well, banned.

Moderation is difficult, we get it. Especially if you're trying to moderate a huge place and want to generally do right by people and all the various communities that often aren't done right by in the day-to-day. Sure. But I can't think of a more unconstructive and, frankly, immature way to deal with people having heated discussions or getting hung up in an argument than a ban. Be it a day or a week or three days. What's the difference? It's not constructive. All you do is "shut people up" for a bit. Something this board has that the old place didn't is a "warning" feature. Use it. This should be the go-to move instead of a ban. A ban should be something pulled out for serious offenses.

Do fucking better.

PS: Something I've always found incredibly bizarre is how folks working in the industry even end up with mod rights here at all. I got it somewhat in the old place as all of that was probably just some legacy bs from its baby days and also some kind of grasp for legitimacy when you have Names on your mod list. Reeks of some version of conflict of interest. If industry folks want to get involved here because they like the place and they have the time, that's great. But should they handle moderation?

Quote from: ArkkAngel007
And then there's the repetition of the overall issue for years now of the same song and dance on how harassers and trolls seem to conveniently avoid staff notice while community members get the initial/only bans.

Disclaimer before defensive, bad faith responses appear: I'm not equating the struggles of harassment vulnerable communities here deal with to those with the hobby/pop culture/data communities. No one has, and shame on certain people for using the former inadvertently or intentionally that way to deflect criticism and bury the issue. This is entirely focused on the apparent S.O.P. of staff in responding to the baseline issues of harassment and trolls, not the content or targets/victims.
There's also a better comparison to what happened here than TransEra.

Right down to the detail, this is literally just what happened to PoliEra all over again. Every detail.

And like what happened there, I expect the majority of old regulars to leave for good, the loudest of the trolls to take over until they work themselves into permabans (because they just can't help themselves) and for the few remaining newer regulars from before this self-inflicted wound occurred to take over from there.

But like with any endeavor, from a business to a nation to a simple team, this place isn't going to survive repeated purges of its institutional knowledge.

But for some reason the lesson is never learned.

Quote from: Nairume
Quote from: NinjaScooter
Its the issue with moderation that has come up nearly every time there has been a blow up like this:  People who probably shouldn't be mods, who seemingly incompetent at dealing with people, or are petty and thin skinned,, are given that title, secondly, the mods seemingly don't follow their own rules (we've been told over and over that it takes 3 mods to agree to every ban, yet when there is an unjust or questionable ban the moderation team suddenly feigns ignorance), and lastly the moderation is incredibly inconsistent (which in part probably can be attributed to point 1), largely it feels like the moderation team can't seem to find that right balance of not being heavy handed where they aren't needed, and being incredibly lax in areas where moderation is necessary.  Often some individuals are banned for seemingly the slightest of infractions, yet toxic trolling and bad faith posting goes unchecked.  If I have to see another ban message again where someone is banned for "multiple instances of" things like racism, or blatant trolling/console warring on the gaming side, like what is the point of giving people so many chances with issues like that?  Is there some hope that these people are somehow going to turn into valuable contributors to this community?   It is exhausting to put that on the community to try and deal with, so its not surprise when people get frustrated or clap back at them, only to be met with moderator action themselves.  You have to understand why that sort of wild inconsistency doesn't sit well, or leave the community here with much faith in the moderators.
Part of my frustration in all of this is that, in the end, it seems like a non insignificant amount of the staff are in it to be prominent members of the community but don't want to actually being community leaders and downright resent being asked to lead. It is gross how many calls to action get ignored at best and excuses at worse, only for actions taken largely feeling more punitive towards those who asked for action than those who actually deserve it. Even questioning a bad decision is more likely to end up with punishment being dealt out than actually causing sincere problems.

I know there is no easy way to run a large community (been there, don't that!), but this clearly isn't it.

Quote from: Jimmy Joe
I would like to suggest that "mod whining" is not a good reason to ban people when the grievances raised are legitimate

"People would get away with a lot if we didn't ban them for that," one might say, and one would be right

But at the same time, the consequences of banning people for "mod-whining" when their grievances are legitimate is creating the impression that the mod team is arbitrarily authoritarian, and quicker to respond to people questioning that authority than to issues like endemic trolling


I initially thought they'd just Royalan him

To clarify, you mean demod for a couple of months, but still post as a highly protected user with custom tag, and then silently re-mod them when the fuss dies down?

Pretty much, but iirc the full Royalan also requires saying they chose to step down out of respect for the community, so when stealth bringing him back is questioned later you can go "Admins never thought it needed to go that far in the first place!" and retroactively basically make it like nothing was ever wrong in the first place.
