You just said yourself that the reason peoples have been unable to post Resetera links was because a lot of peoples reported that site, so much that the algorithm kicked in and blocked the site.

Yeah because it was likely a coordinated effort by one of the many places that hate Era for being a left leaning site that doesn't tolerate extreme right wing views or talking points. It was essentially a trolling effort.

Not in any manner remotely approaching anything mainstream. Before the internet, the crazies were isolated and spread out. Now crazies from across the globe can easily congregate without having to physically travel anywhere. Goes for both the KKK extreme and the other extreme seen in that Tucker thread on Era.
We might not be talking about exactly the same thing. I know quite a few people in real life who overreact to anything that could be construed as discriminatory. They all have large networks on FB/Instagram who they regularly circle jerk with to see who can come across as more progressive.

It doesn't tolerate centrist talking points, left wing talking points, or discussion about certain video games either.
And Twitter doesn't even fully block the links.
That's not entirely true
That applies to links that are already posted prior to the ban; if you try to post any new Resetera links on Twitter it won't let you. Specifically, if you try to post a Resetera link, you get the message "
This request looks like it might be automated. To protect our users from spam and other malicious activity, we can't complete this action right now. Please try again later."

Era, a "left leaning site"? Is that from your script? I'm left leaning, Era is so far left it can't even see people like me. Anybody that doesn't align with them 100% on every single issue is immediately dogpiled and banned.

I am not allowed to have any sort of belief in "free speech extremism" (please don't try and tell me this is a right wing standpoint; I realize a lot of the alt-right has been (much to my annoyance) trying to use such stances as a means of pushing racist/anti-semitic BS but the idea of having an extreme stance on free speech in itself isn't right wing.
If I try to complain about people saying bad things about the people saying bad things I can be banned for "both sides rhetoric".
I am not allowed to promote sex positivity within the realm of video games in the sense that I don't have a problem with fanservice in video games.
I am not allowed to discuss Senran Kagura Burst Re:Newal there or say anything positive regarding the fanservice aspects of the game. I'm not allowed to discuss Omega Labyrinth and can be banned for saying anything positive about Nekopara's fanservice (which is what the game is for). I am not allowed to say anything positive about Colin Moriarty.

I'm fairly certain if I complained about the concept of deplatforming as a means of pushing away right-wingers or had any sort of sympathetic feelings towards libertarians it would put me on thin ice too.
Another exaggeration. People disagree on Era all the time on all kinds of topics and aren't banned.
But those disagreements where people do get banned happens far more often there than most other sites.

I've resigned myself to not stating my opinions on certain topics there since I fear it would just result in me getting banned. No use in being sympathetic towards Senran Kagura or being happy about the character designs in Xenoblade 2.

An easy example of something that annoyed me on Era is that there was a thread about Tom Lipschults and Hatsuu leaving XSeed. In it, people were complaining about Tom's very strong anti-censorship stances to the point where they felt he was a bad person. They were sad about Hatsuu, but going on about how it was good riddance to see Tom gone and there were people who felt he should've been fired.
I *wanted* to run to his defense and try to explain his views regarding the subject but I feared that if I were to defend Tom I would be banned, so I didn't.

I like XSeed and always loved Tom's presence in the company so I was really sad to see him go, and seeing people talk down on him made me sad. But I couldn't really do anything about it.

Also I hate how people make fun of Boogie there all the time. Yeah he says some stupid stuff I can agree, but he's never come off to me as a bad person, but I feel like if I were to try and show any towards of sympathy towards him I could be banned for that too.

I don't recall supporting that thread or the statements in it at any point actually. I have said I don't even know how many times now on here that I do not support violence or threats of violence regardless of which side its on. I am all for protesting public figures, but not violence against them or threats of violence.


There are literally hundreds upon hundreds of threads active on Era at any given time that go on and on with no drama and no bans. You guys just choose to focus on the ones that fit your narrative so you can try to paint the entire site and its userbase as something its not.

I recently figured out I was trans yeah
Era has a sizeable transgender community making it appear to be a helpful place in that regard.
Naturally I have a bunch of questions and want a bunch of help figuring some personal stuff out regarding that.
I don't really have a strong understanding of gender for one and it creates very conflicting personal feelings regarding the subject
But I fear if I were to ask questions I would be considered a transphobic troll and wouldn't be able to get any help on figuring myself out and figuring out what I should be doing.

If you make a thread on Era about it and explain it that way I am sure there will be no issues so long as you are respectful about it. There are MANY Trans members that would be happy to help I am sure.

Source on that? Dennis8K has been on Resetera since October 2017, so I cannot believe he is a ban avoiding alt.

Well I can't be sure of what the reason was and this is purely anecdotal, but at some point I saw the "Dennis" account banned and then "Dennis8K" appeared with the same avater.
It's possible that it was a self-requested ban, or something, but the point is that "Dennis" was banned and "Dennis8K" is an obvious alt, along with "Ban Puncher" and several others that don't come as quickly to mind and I don't have the ability to search for anymore, being banned myself.

One thing that is interesting about Resetera and, I suspect, American youngsters in general, is that they have no real concept of communism and what it lead to in Europe.

For example, to be right leaning to them is to endorse Nazism. So surely, at the very least, to advocate communism is to support the Gulag?

70 million dead and yet, it doesn’t register. Some of those chaps should hang out in Eastern Europe and see how their political enthusiasms go down.

Oh you. Why are you defending the user base? How big a sample size do you need? There are 30 pages in that thread alone all calling for violence. These ARE the people you are defending weather or not you agree with them. I have browsed enough of the site to know there is about 5% of rational people there. If you see that as #notall fine. Then maybe that site is a better fit for you.

Anyone that frequents that site while knowing what goes on there is complicit as well.

Thats...much easier said than done. You arent wrong, its just that family and friends arent always the most accepting when it comes to things like this. It's at times a guessing game to figure out how people will react and after that unless they're trans or well researched themselves they might not be able to help much beyond a kind word.
I'm afraid of talking to my parents about it. Ideally a therapist would be the best way to go, but there arent any gender therapists to my awareness anywhere near here

The internet is really nice in this regard where you can find other people in similar communities that wont judge you, or even if they do judge you they likely wont ever meet you so it's easier to talk things out.

Seeking advice from people who are likely to poison you would be much worse. Please be cautious. I would recommend speaking to a general therapist as they would have clinical experience in these issues. "Gender therapist" is a needless distinction. This would be like declining to go to the hospital for a broken bone in your foot because you're unsure if they'll have an orthopedic trauma specialist.

It happens also yeah it exists and I actually have the entire log of one of those channels but only up till a point and it's not recent.
We need to see some reciepts.

They are severely psychologically damaged folk who suffer from untreated (or poorly treated) mental illnesses.
FWIW you got under the radar of GAF judging by this thread.

Yikes, not a good look, is that the hill you want to die on, and problematic. ;)

You know what you can also make out of ResetERA?
7bKESHC.png
;)

Right, I wasn't going to go out of my way to hide who I was, because that just makes it more obvious that I'm "breaking the rules," and I didn't think it was a "seriously" enforced rule, again, because of examples like "Dennis8K" and "Ban Puncher," who are obvious alts and who even outright state and mock the fact that they're circumventing previous bans through alts.

I don't want to obfuscate who I am. I try to use the same username or as close as possible everywhere I go to keep my identity consistent and my integrity intact.
I actually dont know Ban Puncher by name, perhaps by avatar? I have seen that name around though but who is that alt?

Not abolished, just links to era get an unsafe warning
Well if there is actually such a thing as a Forum STD...
6.png
Du8je6a33.png


Source on that? Dennis8K has been on Resetera since October 2017, so I cannot believe he is a ban avoiding alt.
  • Dennis is Dennis.
  • Dennis loves PC's.
  • Dennis loves 4K's.
Mix these 3 ingredients together and what might be the result? Perhaps a Dennis8K?

Here is one more to add credulence: There was a brief grace period where all emails were allowed. Perhaps Dennis used that?

Like my own Smoking Gun post before which you also casted doubt upon, i agree that this is a bit more circumstantial but still, this is just a case of adding things up on the scale of likelyhood. That and Blam already mentioned earlier in this thread how making alts is really easy since their scans don't run deep.

It isn't like people will make multiple accounts to post from on the new forum when they were probably doing it on the old forum...
It is also surprisingly easy to generate new alts, on their registration list there used to be an option (Or so i saw in this thread) that you could point out if you were using an alt or not.

I should just put that in bolded: ERA actually had an option so that new users and alts could mark if you were an alt or not.

I thought it was debunked as a joke but i did see a shot of that option being real, so... who would they be kidding with that?

I hate to break it to you guys, but you are a bit late on the Twitter news. The mod captains were made aware almost immediately and Cerium has already been in touch with Twitter support. It seems to have been a simple mistake with the Twitter report algorithm that came as a result of a coordinated report spam. They reported enough ResetEra links quickly enough to trigger a Twitter safeguard that automatically blocks a site after a set number of reports in a short amount of time. Its to protect users from potentially harmful sites that are shared by adbots.


Era will live on it seems. Much to your dismay lol
Just a friendly bit of advice: The bolded highlights exactly why people call you out often. It is not because you have an alternative opinion: It is that in a rather disguised manner, you lol at the emotions around here regarding ERA. Its disingenous, come on.

Now, do i agree that the Twitter thing is overblown? Sure, and the views expressed on GAF regarding those aren't mines. But i am not going to go around and be like ''Lol, much to your dismay eh GAF?'' when you already have an image going on and you are affilated with the staff. All of which combined would make me advise against making such statements.

Mind you, i am not calling you out as heavily as others do, as i try to be constructive here.

I'm sorry what? They are the exact fucking opposite of Transphobic.
Then what do you call the people whose threads get featured here? I am not talking about the majority of folk that just post similar to GAF here, i am talking about those people/threads that get featured here. What are they to you?

Another exaggeration. People disagree on Era all the time on all kinds of topics and aren't banned.
This is only a half-truth. People will disagree with you on many things, but there are a few pet peeves that will make or break your stay on ERA. You know this because you have been in this thread for a while now.

To deny that would be rather naive, don't you think so?

What seems to me is that you turn a blind eye to the more ridiculous bans (Nor hardly if ever point out the inconsistency that is among bans for similar offences, sometimes no action is even undertaken at all) but then make this stance as if ERA is the new normal. It isn't. That is actually what's dangerous: Normalizing the kind of behavior The Names undertake.

You can't just keep up pretending that your ship will never get hit by an iceberg as you are hit by an iceberg and you are on the ship Titanic. That is like, literally ignoring reality at that stage.

You guys just choose to focus on the ones that fit your narrative so you can try to paint the entire site and its userbase as something its not.
Again, please stop with the Ad Populums. Like how not the entire site is like that, so should you not paint the entirety of GAF as one and the same. Because that's rather hypocritical to do.

You can ask them here or in dms. You can use the ERA LGBTQIA+ discord but not their thread. It's just easier to talk about specific things and get answers much faster. Plus no mods to push some really stupid bans or some shit.

Yeah I mean who knew if you start changing words in people's posts you can make the posts sound bad.


I for one am shocked.

You push for the defense of ResetEra so regularly that it has become like clockwork at this point. The same exact points you made in that post, you seem to refuse to use for republicans/right-leaning folk. You are a hypocrite, mate. Plain and simple. If you want to so ardently show that Era isn't full of terrible people, then you should follow your own advice.


That is hilarious. I am not sure who ProtoSurge is, sounds like a decent sort. Not sure if they are reading this, but I do want to thank them for defending me - but I would ask that you (ProtoSurge) stop. It is clear you enjoy Era and that is perfectly fine. However, I fear that any continued defense of me would lead to your unfair banning by the overzealous moderation and their "little helpers".

Out of my thousand or so twitter posts, maybe 20-30 are in reference to ResetEra. Funny how they don't want to look at the statistics, I wonder why that is? Maybe it could be that they are trying to push some sad little narrative to discredit me. Why else would they have to go back nearly six months to find another tweet as a "gotcha" moment? Oh well.

I do love how magical kitsune is trying to paint me in such a light and push blatantly false claims. Maybe they are still salty they were banned here? I rarely go to ResetEra. The most I see of it is in reference here on GAF, mentions on Twitter, and various YouTubers who sometimes rarely make mention to you (like YongYea, PSA Sitch, etc), and the very rare Reddit post. As for the twitter folk I follow, I was not aware of Oliver Campbell's past, but the funny thing is - I rarely see much of anything other than gaming posts from him which I found entertaining. It is why I followed him, same for the ever dreaded MOMBOT. I know, that may be horrifying to some. Such a horrifying figure, that Japanese house wife that makes posts about games.

And yes, it is clear there are loud sections of ResetEra that wish to see the death of, if not outright murder, the majority of republicans and see them as less than human. Which is why I posted what I posted. Is it exaggerated? A bit, but sadly it still holds far more truth than I ever want it to. I genuinely believe that the folks on Era want to do good, but their poor moderation, the sheer lack of critical thinking, and overall attitude only harms whatever good they try to do.

Ban Puncher is the alt account of Man Puncher.
Right, that makes sense. Its funny because i know Ban Puncher and i thought it was just a play on a past thing that earned him/her that name.

Gotta go find them again. Didn't think I'd need them any time after when I was looking through them.
I think it would be beneficial. When people get banned for questioning what is done with their personal data, i think there is more to the story.

Can I get a specific example of a Transphobic Era thread so i know exactly what you are talking about?

I literally just asked you a question as to how you would call the people in the threads that get featured here (Or hell, you can just use my posts as a reference. If you want a list just ask), why are you dialing it down to transphobic? I am not talking about that.

Surely this cannot be the only thing worth commenting in your eyes?

You push for the defense of ResetEra so regularly that it has become like clockwork at this point. The same exact points you made in that post, you seem to refuse to use for republicans/right-leaning folk. You are a hypocrite, mate. Plain and simple. If you want to so ardently show that Era isn't full of terrible people, then you should follow your own advice.
Well there is/was the Talal thread. There is the Mental Health thread, as more memorable ones.

The thing is, the negative image spread around is caused by the intention and ridiculousness of the words written by the users underneath them. Isnt it readily obvious that some of the more controversial postings are often done by known people/Little Helpers? I think this should say enough about the statement that all of ERA is terrible: At best a few hundred people are geniunely terrible, compared to the thousands of others that roam freely.

However, its these few hundred people that fuck it up for the thousands of others, creating the negative image that ERA is associated with. Without ill intent, but i do think this is something both you and Nobody are not yet realizing, for various reasons.

And yes, it is clear there are loud sections of ResetEra that wish to see the death of, if not outright murder, the majority of republicans and see them as less than human. Which is why I posted what I posted. Is it exaggerated? A bit, but sadly it still holds far more truth than I ever want it to. I genuinely believe that the folks on Era want to do good, but their poor moderation, the sheer lack of critical thinking, and overall attitude only harms whatever good they try to do.
At worst i would call those tweets a bit generic. But because you aren't specifically saying what thread/what part is problematic, your tweets get hostaged and used in a court of public opinion.
And that is the only court that matters.*

*To ResetERA, that is.

I think there has been a miscommunication somewhere along the way lol


My original post regarding Era that you quoted was in response to someone in here claiming Era is Transphobic. And then I asked how on earth could anyone consider Era of all places Transphobic when its the exact opposite.

Not transphobic, but a hive mind of thick bullies that are incapable of accepting an alternative ( let alone differing) point of view.

To your question, they quickly banned the trans individual that didn’t shit the bed over CDPR’s cyberpunk tweet. You would think that the opinion of a trans person would be welcomed; instead, the usual gaggle of fuckwits dogpiled him.

They are religious zealots.

Well they closed that thread and they are going to do a "run thru" and see if anyone is seriously advocating for violence. (Tucker thread)

I wonder why? I wonder how many reports that vile forum got to various agencies, and platform holders?

Disgusting little hellhole. Man am I angry at some of the worms in that thread. Cowardly moderators as well. I am all for free as hell speech but when your openly happy a women had to hide in her closet and call the police your a disgusting piece of garbage.

Yeah, huzzah for neogaf reclaiming its sanity, and dignity.

More anti-white racism.

Again, if someone had typed out "black people can't be trusted with their vote, they will fuck everyone else", you would get called a Nazi and charged a virtual hate crime.

If liberals continue to talk like this, how can we not expect white people to be a little more "anxious" in the future? Resetera clearly shows they will throw white people under the bus without a second thought.

I understand that, although that is not what i was talking about haha. What i was asking is what you consider the ERA people that are heavily featured in those threads that get featured here.

I try to spin your position in a more positive one. Because there is a linkage to ERA, perhaps you could chirp in on this thread where Bill O Rights is also active?

Do not accept help from the ERA trans community.
I am not going to agree with that. Whilst some users are truly depressive souls that deserve more proper help (I once even messaged an ERA mod regarding a potential suicidal user. They did end up helping me really adequately, so.. i know that aint saying much but still) and other users are also Little Helpers in the day time, some others do really recieve beneficial advice from others and i don't believe in the idea that everything of that is something that should be disregarded.

Even so, what made you arrive at your conclusion?

The way they changed my ex. I was genuinely suicidal before I managed to remove her lazy ass out of my house, and it was only by browsing sites that were referred to as hate sites was I able to understand the way she acted. I would have never believed such a 180 had I not experienced it myself but having done so it's all too clear that many of the most influential members do not have the best interests of those coming to them for help in mind.

There are good members in the community. The prominent figures are not those members.

Oh another
I recently figured out I was trans yeah
Era has a sizeable transgender community making it appear to be a helpful place in that regard.
Naturally I have a bunch of questions and want a bunch of help figuring some personal stuff out regarding that.
I don't really have a strong understanding of gender for one and it creates very conflicting personal feelings regarding the subject
But I fear if I were to ask questions I would be considered a transphobic troll and wouldn't be able to get any help on figuring myself out and figuring out what I should be doing.

Honestly, your gonna have a hard time seeking advice online about Trans stuff that wont lead you down the hole of extremism.

Be it Era or places like Reddit, your gonna stumble into an extremist type group and while you might get some 'guidance' before long they will start to fill your head with extremist ideas.

Before to long you might try to seek out hormones behind your doctors back and self administer them (that's a thing on reddit)
Your gonna despise ever man or woman who wont have sex with you.
Your basically gonna be led astray and find problems where there wasnt one before.

I'd stick to Gaf as it is now. We have a few trans members who arent extremists since that element left for ResetEra.

Another absolute soy boy willing to throw one gender under the bus:

Every time I hear "privilege", I have to ask where does this privilege come from? Who gave it to me?
When I see homeless men on the streets, are they still "privileged"? What about the men who were drafted in war and were sent to their deaths? How "privileged" were they knowing they had no chance of returning home alive?

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Honestly, there are far better places to go than Era for mental help. If you (general you, not specific to Red) are at a university, they usually offer free therapy and a place to talk to. It is a wonderful thing and greatly helped me when dealing with depression. It also didn't keep pushing this mindset of "everyone is out to get you" like Era seems so keen on pushing.
