I got banned once because I said I didn’t care about political shit in off topic, in a thread called “can we split politics and OT’.
What point? Racism is ok as long as you are not directly attacking other user?

Relax where did I ever mention race. I literally mentioned “Different viewpoints” and you got offended. Hilarious.

Wrong.
Not only are many people at reset wrongly accused of racism/ sexism, others post every day about how all men suck or all white people are trash without being auctioned.
Sexism and racism IS allowed AND promoted at Resetera, AS LONG as it is directed to the right gender and/ or race color.

Fixed that for you. Funny thing, the vast majority of "sexist" and "racist" viewpoints that are banned on Era are not at all racist or sexist. You continuously make light of incredibly serious accusations by using it on anything that you disagree with. Then again, that is why you are on Era. You literally cannot handle a difference of opinion.

Which is exactly why he got worked up and I never even gave examples of what I was referring to.

Hopefully after this thread has run its course this board can stop talking about Era. It's obnoxious and mentioned in nearly every thread. People build strawmans from "the other site" instead of engaging with people who are here and there are more than a fair share of left-wing posters present.

You must be thinking of another place because resetera is one of the most racist and sexist forums right now.

ERA has some good points from the sheer amount of people causing a great source for news. Different views will get you turned on and banned often though. Hell, a joke can cause bans. I've just learned to ignore any of those topics about politics/gender/etc that are just riddled with bans.
Also, can we just point out that ERA 2.0 looks almost exactly like GAF now...like why?

Offended? You're the one complaining about not being able to share your "different point of views" on reset Era, I just assumed what different points of view are those, since those are the ones who generally warrant bans (outside of fanboyism and stuff like that)
The classic #notallmen #alllivesmatter post that completely ignores social and historical context in which things are said and done. Don't tell me you also have black friends, wonder why white people can't say the N word and that the gender gap is a myth.

The folks they have running the site literally have no clue what they are doing, so they have to copy the folks who do (NeoGaf).
Yep, you are right. Those are the ONLY THINGS that warrant a ban. Not like there is an easy to read site that lists every idiotic ban made by the "genius" team at Era. Oh wait. There is: http://resetera.kiwifarms.net/

Whites say nigga all the time and nobody cares except people who are "woke".
Well of course. Normally it would probably just be a page long but resetera had to send troops to stir shit up because those "people" need to be complaining on forums 24/7.

Not gonna lie, looking through the bans is funnier than a lot of the actual threads there.
Care to inform me of some more up to date issues?

Sorry, i'm not a programmer. But i'll try adding one example directive anyway.
int main()
{
int number;
cout << "Straight Male";
if ( number >= 0)
{
cout << "Is attracted to girls" << number << endl;
}
else
{
cout << "Not attracted to trans women" << number << endl;
}
cout << "BANNED";
return 0;
}
Not sure if i did it right but someone else can make a working patch for you.

You just reminded me why I like Python.
...And to the point of the thread, I also browse both forums. I find Reset far more active (as others have mentioned) for gaming news which is the main reason I joined GAF all those years ago. But I enjoy both, for different reasons. GAF is indeed more open-minded nowadays.

I'll be honest. Whenever ERA is down, I come back here and read the GAF vs ERA threads that always show up.
This time, though, I got a shitload of Achievements, so that's pretty sweet.

Anybody here that is taking a shit on how terrible resetera is, use your ‘right to be forgotten’ and contact the mods to have your account erased.
You can still browse it as a source of gaming news if that’s your thing and you’ll be way less likely to support sexual assault with a history of whatever the fuck.
I stopped whining about them and just left, it’s easy to do. Now if I could only ban myself from the politics forum and never look at it here, I’d be a happy man!
In all seriousness moving politics to its own forum was a genius move here.

I don't post anymore but read both forums and lurk like a mofo. Moderation is STRICT on resetera and if a mod doesn't like someone they'll find a way to ban them. It does suck how slow gaf became after the divide though. I feel like I have to read both forums and wish I could go back to just one. But oh well, gives me a lot to read during down time at work.

Guy mentions civil conversations and differing opinions and nothing about racism or sexism, but your mind immediately goes to racism and sexism. Yep, sounds like a shitty ResetEra post and proves exactly what he's talking about.

Before this forum left the asylum with a clean bill of health (the brain parasites left), it was a case of people jumping out of the Frying pan (SJW-GAF) and into the fire (Resetera). I used to post here 2006-2009 and then just lurked. The old modding team slowly became more and more crazed until they lost their shit entirely by 2014. Were talking frothing at the mouth, batshit crazy. They are now over at resetera, inmates running a new asylum.

I went to resestera after GAF crashed. But I came back because I got sick of being constantly reminded that I'm a horrible person becuase I'm white.
I like the slower pace of GAF.

I was warned for "transphobia" for saying that, ultimately, the Jeffery Tambor situation was a he-said-she-said with credible witnesses on both sides and I'd like to wait for some sort of investigation.
("How dare you try to erase trans people?" -ERA User)
I was banned (2 weeks) for "inflammatory false equivalences" and a "history of infractions" for saying that the combination of colors involved don't matter - prejudice and hate specifically to whites is still "racism."
("Sure, Jan." -ERA User)
I was banned (permanently) (twice!) for saying that getting physical at protests and going to the residences of private citizens to disturb the peace is beyond the pale and the correct thing to do is to go after advertisers and keep pushing for elected positions. People in the thread were straight up calling for violence and saying things like they wouldn't feel bad if one of their political enemies was "popped" at a protest and clarifying that by "popped" they meant "shot." Several other users agreed and I was banned for calling that sort of thing disturbing.

It's screwed up that I participated over here on GAF for years without anyone ever having a problem with me and making a good amount of friends and gaming partners before the split, the suddenly the whole site migrates over political reasons and the new replacement forum has an overwhelming political flavor to its atmosphere and moderation. I hate that I can't interact anymore with a large amount of people I've known for the better part of a decade because I honestly, earnestly shared some opinions that wouldn't even be close to controversial when shared anywhere else.
ERA is a small group of people who managed to hijack a population and are now holding it hostage, wielding moderation as a political cudgel.
It is what fascist progressives look like, and I say that as a lifelong liberal who just voted straight ticket in an attempt to bring some accountability back to government - but I digress - and honestly with all the gamergate/anon/election interference/online influence angles flying around I'm absolutely shocked that someone hasn't done some in-depth research, journalism and reporting on it, because it's so bizarrely effective and pointed so as to almost seem concerted. No matter which way you lean on the involved issues it's a fascinating little social phenomenon taking place at a breakneck speed and somebody should be getting their thesis done, or something.
I'd genuinely like to see this place come back o some sort of glory, because people were often assholes and sometimes crossed the line, but were generally quickly put in their place by the community if not the moderation, and nobody was afraid that having an unpopular but harmless opinion on the "off-topic" side of a video gaming forum was going to get them instantly ostracized if not exiled from a community they'd put years into.
Honestly, do we have some sort of, like, moderation elections, or something?
I'd like to be able to do something more tangible to make sure this place deserves to attract its population back.

I feel resetEra is even more US-centric than neogaf ever was.
I mean, I'm sufficiently aware of American culture to know that blackface is unacceptable. Period. But I've seen too many non-Americans ask legitimate questions and get banned right away... As if being ignorant equated arguing in bad faith or even being facetious.
Also bringing up legitimate men issues = being and MRA nutjob. Talking about this stuff doesn't actually dismiss or belittles any issue related to women... But whatever.
Hell I consider myself a pretty hard-core socialist (BTW socialism != comunism) and all that shit, that I'd qualify as histrionics, is so foreign to me... Why is it even labeled "leftist" ?
My ignore list has at least 500 people...
With all that said, I don't approve the fact that this place has become way too accepting of alt-right and incel parlance.
This is basically the only reason why I prefer Era over GAF.

I mostly lurk on both sites. God help you on ERA if you're not anti-gun and don't think having children is a selfish, awful thing to do.
I'm not afraid to speak my mind but what the fuck's the point if you're just gonna get dog piled? I stick to gaming.

I looked at it when it first went on out of curiosity, saw Slayven was mod, never went back. Dude tried to play like he was some shot caller, but you know damn well he’s in his Mom’s basement and probably looks like the black version of comic book guy. Fuck that forum.

Do people on era not realize that the mods are basically the people that made this place a shithole???
You sorta see some similarities between bad gaf and what era is now..there's your answer.

Oh and yes...mods here are great and there is definitely some good grass roots coming through...will take time but it will grow bigger.

Era is like a parody of what old GAF was becoming, but news does break quicker there, and there is more discussion in general. I'm liking the tone of new GAF quite a bit. Hoping it can pick up the pace a bit and I can forget about Era.

Damn. It's extremely similar except a smaller font (which it's always had). I gave them the benefit of the doubt (ha) when they tried and spectacularly failed to create a politics subforum right after NeoGAF did it (successfully). But this one is just too obvious. Some people over there are still, a year later, working tirelessly to try to undermine NeoGAF at every turn.
