Ignore things that you don't want to see, just because you find it tiresome doesn't mean others do. It's a forum, people are going to react to stuff, that's how it works. If someone doesn't react to something as you want them to, ignore or block them, it doesn't harm anything and it takes very little effort to do.
What "community" is there here though? The people that try to make communities already stick to whatever thread they congregate in, be it Xbox, Playstation, Specific games, etc. There isn't an overall "Resetera Community" because everyone posting outside of those specific threads are going to be vastly different from one another, just as forums tend to be.
Because a lot of times it actively ruins topics, it's not always easy to ignore. Just ignoring issues does not make them go away, and they have been more prevalent than they have ever been around here.
People are actively rude here to developers, and as a forum that supposedly cares about workers rights and developers and human beings, we do a piss poor job of showing it.
How to fix Resetera.com
- PC gamers are not welcome
- DC fans are not welcome
- Warnings are a thing of the past, every violation now results in a permaban
- Users can pick a side (Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox) and only post in their respective platform boards, if you want to switch sides you have to DM a mod and write a 1000 word essay to motivate your choice. The users will decide via a poll if you are allowed to cross-post or enter the other side.
- Some game names will be censored, for example C******* 2077
- Every gaming OT should open with a post that explains how the game actively promotes trans rights, diversity, inclusivity and progressive values, games that do not will not have OT's but will be put in a generic 'Other Games' topic. Where images, emoji's and YouTube embeds are disabled.
- Bans based on posting history. A group of community officers will research your posting history across multiple channels. Any activity that violates the ResetEra TOS is an instant perma ban. We encourage posters to help us do the research and report milkshake ducks.
- Your gender and race decides your post limit a cisgendered white male gets 1 post a day
- When signing up you have to provide the following information: full name, street address, company (if you are employed), political affiliation, gender, racial background, active social media accounts (Twitter, Facebook etc.), age, phone number, email
All these rules don't apply to non-binary or non-white posters. However, keep in mind that when your whiteness is in doubt we apply the Nepenthe race theory.
