Also, what are these explosion of hate crimes that originated from a rich asshole buying a company, yet again in the US?

People are going to DIE because Elon Musk who has yet to actually take ownership of Twitter has vaguely said he wants to cut down the moderation in some way in the future. Don't you listen to PlanetSmasher?

Literally everyone alive when Elon takes over Twitter will die after he does. That's like eight billion deaths on Elon's hands.

This is like that What If where Ultron ices Thanos and takes over with an army of robots.

User Banned (3 Days): Encouraging piracy

Not to be "that guy" - but I truly cannot stomach it when a new Tom Cruise blockbuster comes out and 99.9% of people conveniently ignore the fact that the man is pure fucking evil - second-in-command (not hyperbole) of an incredibly brutal cult that swindles, brainwashes, and terrorizes.

Everyone knows this about Cruise. They just fucking ignore it.

Don't see this movie. Don't see this movie. Don't see this movie. And if you do see this movie, at least have the decency to pirate it instead of paying to see it. Don't give this monster one fucking cent of your hard-earned money.

And fuck you too, Gaga, for writing a song for this absolute fucking maniac's fucking movie.

K bye.

Matt and NinjaScooter have been secret Sony agents since Neogaf days. It must be frustrating that the main beacon of astroturfing for Sony isn't software or hardware anymore, its Jason Schreier's consistent angst against Xbox and writing uninformed and shifty financial articles for Bloomberg.

The logic that his article is correct is based on how one of the world's wealthiest men is betting on the acquisition going through....when the premise of the article is "wallstreet" is betting against the deal going through.

If that seems really stupid logically, it actually isn't, you guize just don't understand context

Australian Competition and Consumer Commission...? hmmm, Australia has never even had Now has it? I don't think anyone there could have taken advantage of what Sony initially stated anyway. Aussies won't currently be able to stack plus on their account, but they will be when the new version comes out or their current sub ends, so effectively they won't be locked out of plus and will be able to extend shortly with any number of codes they have purchased recently.

I mean, look at how many people in this thread are reacting to it. People aren't even reading it or using prior OP-Eds to justify ignoring it. It's a huge expose, far bigger than anyone here is realizing because they refuse to engage with it. It's embarrassing, that third part is a study of literally every show he's done and how he operates rhetorically to drag people into conspiracy theory land. (Literally using some of the same para-social techniques streamers and YouTubers use)

Keep in mind, we've had people on the left, on this very forum, watch some of these segments and say Tucker is making a good leftist argument. That last article should be required viewing for people because it breaks down exactly how he's able to push insane conspiracy nonsense and get people to buy into it. He frames it all as "the powerful elites vs you, the normal person" and once he's got you buying at that point he starts bringing in MRA, nativist, and other fascist shit under the radar and dragging people into the ideological swamp.

They literally went through SIX YEARS of his show, every single episode, to put this together.

If this was some John Oliver or YouTuber shit people would be praising them and talking about how they wished the actual news would do stuff like this. Meanwhile, when the actual news does this sort of thing look what the response is.

Oh, NOW you have a problem with the monster you helped fucking build

Honestly, Chikor is a dipshit and I dislike most of his opinions, including that one, but is not exactly as controversial or bad thought as B-Dubs is bitching about.

In that regard, is why don’t you ban Chikor if he pisses you off so much, you have banned a lot of people for way less. Is better than throwing a hissy fit and accusing random users of trolling.

[John Dunbar]

Considering the fact I've had to write his dumbass an email explaining that if he went to bat for a dictator who was in the middle of killing his own people again we'd perm him, that he got banned for going on about how antisemitism wasn't a thing a week after a mass shooting at a synagogue, and now he's in here going "well, maybe bin laden shouldn't have been shot", I think I'm being kind.

so b-dubs is pretty much just admitting some posters get special treatment. who else gets this kind of attention instead of just a ban?

but prominent members is not a thing. 

[HaughtyFrank]

Especially considering I've got family who worked in the damn towers. It's a miracle they didn't wind up dead. I've got friends who have fathers who have all kinds of cancer because of that shit.

Seriously, we're going to bat for Chikor's dipshit ass. Embarrassing.

I am sorry for the friends and families you know who suffered because of the twin towers. It was a horrible terrorist attack and no one is shedding tears over a dead terrorist mastermind. However, I will bat for Chikor's ass. I suspect there's a good chunk of posters here that would. He has been one of the few allies we can count on where the rest of the board looks away. Nothing, absolutely nothing Chikor said warrants your response. Criticizing America's disregard for international law does not mean Bin Laden should not have been shot. I criticize American foreign policy all the time. It's abhorrent and American presidents should be tried at Hague for the shit they have done around the world, especially in Muslim and Latin countries.

Killing Bin Laden in black ops mission is the last thing I want to drag America for, but it's fair to say our policies are wildly inconsistent over releasing pics of dead Saddam kids vs not releasing pics of a dead Bin Laden.

The guy who downplayed the atrocities ISIS committed probably shouldn't chime in here

I imagine that’s why the forum is getting the reputation of anti Semitic breeding ground given that even one of the admins admits that one of your key allies sounds like a self hating Jew and downplays dictators.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

I can't speak on their history nor do I know the context of those things you've mentioned, all i know is they're currently not banned so they're still allowed to participate here.

If every poster attacked someone else based on something they've said in another thread that they didn't like, every thread would be full of nothing but insults and ad hominems. Let's apply the rules consistently here.

And like, every thread more than 6 months old would b a graveyard of banned users

Dubs has a personal connection to 9/11, hence his response, and honestly I can't fault him for losing his cool. Chikor's comparison was way out of line. We had a talk on our end so hopefully we don't have anymore blow ups. That said, Chikor has had many infractions that have built up over the years, and only through appeals and the like has he managed to stay here - but the point is, even if you are leftist or on the left, it doesn't mean you can't be an asshole or have abhorrent views, like going to bat for dictators and violent extremists

Is there a reason why you just made the identical point I made?

Personally I think the decision to release the photos of Hussein's kids was stupid and served no benefit, and I struggle to think of any good reason to release Bin Laden's photos.

So if Chikor’s post was defending dictators or whatever word salad they used this time, would The Albatross not also be guilty of the same forum crime?

Bullshit ban with bullshit excuses

I got warned without reason for "trolling" and banned from that thread (until it was reversed), and the thread of course got locked right at the same exact time when that individual in question was basically called out for receiving special treatment. The rule seems to be if you're staff you basically have forum immunity and the rules don't apply to you...because reasons that you don't even have to back up with any evidence -- and they can punish anyone who dares talk back to them.

Oh, wow. Totally off-topic, but I don't think I was familiar with that person before today, so seeing them be perma-banned for that post seems extreme to me. The ban is supposedly for "defending dictators", but I really didn't see that as the main point they were trying to make with that final post. Seemed more like they were questioning why show the corpse of one evil person, but not another.

Yeah, the ban was cruel and unjust. And aethsyn, i did see that totally mindless "trolling" warning. If you all have a minute or so I suggest creating a ticket to appeal the ban https://www.resetera.com/tickets/categories/ban-appeal.6/create

Really disappointed about that ban. Might need to consider my future in this website as well.

Chikor has always been a friend to Muslims on this site. The fact that he gets banned for literally nothing while so many continue to spew anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian bigotry is mind-blogging yet on-brand for liberals.

Careful you all gonna get banned for questioning staff actions, guys. I bet they're just simply looking for a reason to pull that ban hammer.

There's a reason why many Muslims left this place in droves after all. Not that the people in here are seemingly unhappy about that fact though.

Where do we Muslims vent our frustrations though? What's the proper way to express our disappointment and complete and utter disregard for us? Is this website just like the previous one then, with zero transparency and at the sheer whims of angry mods?

That’s the problem. We’re not being given anywhere to discuss this with the staff. We’ve already had a bunch of Muslims leave the site, and we’re not the first minority group to walk off (I can think of two big waves of minorities off the top of my head). I asked Hecht two weeks ago in the thread about Meta shadowbanning Palestine posts if I could (or the staff could) start a thread (since the Muslim OT is as good as dead) and was told there would be an internal conversation first but at this rate there’s not going to be anyone left for the external conversation. Hecht and another mod in the aforementioned thread said there’s no “prominent member” system in play, but all it takes is a cursory glance at any number of threads about topics such as Afghanistan, Palestine or anything MENASA related to see that there’s a ton of horrible shit people can get away with saying .

There’s clearly a big difference of opinion in how these issues are being handled on the site and if the staff won’t let us try and discuss it in an open and transparent manner in a community thread then of course we’ll end up derailing threads. And it’s not because we’re assholes, it’s because we’re pushed into a corner and will take whatever chance we get. Then there’s always some mod coming in and talking about keeping the thread on topic to shut down the “dissent”. Talk about missing the forest for the trees.

It’s not enough to just have us on this site. If we’re allowed on it, then we want the same equality that the majority enjoy. And to those of you reading this, especially the staff, thinking that we do: if you’re not us, then can’t see from our perspective so give us the chance to talk about it openly with you.

Dave said it best in Black:
“They take our features when they want and have their fun with it,
Loud in our laughter,
Silent in our suffering.”

Well said. Unless our issues are directly addressed, they will continue to spill-over in adjacent threads. Either until we are all mass-banned or we all leave because they force us to. Speaking of the shadowban thread, there was supposed to be a discussion and an outreach. And as an extension of Olive Branch, Anton Sugar was supposed to be unbanned. Still waiting over 2 weeks now with nothing but silence.

I never said he would be unbanned. I said his ticket would be reopened and he would receive a response, because it should not have been closed without any remark from staff.

It should also seem kinda fucking obvious but you can - in fact - be a muslim and not support ISIS, be a christian and not support the westboroh baptist church, be a socialist and not tacitly support brutal authoritarianism by downplaying and whataboutism whenever its mentioned, or be any kind of fucking thing you want and still distance yourself from extremists who hold similar views to yourself.

It’s always impressive to me how bad the mods are over there. Chikor is a raging dickhead who constantly talked down to others and stirred shit up while acting high and mighty. They are no great loss. But somehow, the mods managed to make them sympathetic by picking a relatively mild take as the one to perm them on, just because B-Dumbs got his jimmies rustled.

HOW can they keep being this bad?!?
