I just read that part of both OP's. I can't believe that, even when you are an emotional mess and with anxiety you can think that booking for 5 days is not going to last you 5 months.
Reading about it seems like a tale of Tabula Rasa: Released from the safe space that is ERA, he lands himself into problems.
I think Oheao also had a GAF account here. EDIT: I was right, in this thread even.
Oheao was also banned as a spammer for this post where he reveals he only advanced to be able to PM. I remember now that he wanted to speak to Blam .Hey everyone, ResetEra member here. I just created a NeoGAF account, and to be honest, I don't really see myself switching my main forum (in fact I don't even know how often I'll post here). So, I'll give some thoughts on the site:
- Yes, ResetEra is far from perfect. I have many issues with it myself (particularly the lack of transparency and too much ambiguity for my liking) and yes, many people can be overbearing with their liberalness
- However, in terms of deciding a forum, I don't look for the perfect place. I look for the best in terms of activity (ResetERA is very active) and not allowing aspects that I want to deal with. So, while ResetERA may be a bit ban happy at times, I'd rather it be that way than not banning posts that support sexism, racism, transphobia, etc.
- As for NeoGAF, I don't talk to you guys here much so I can't speak for how you are in that regard, but lurking this thread I have seen some posts that I find troublesome, and I think they highlight very well why many ERA members don't come here
- Many ERA members have extreme depression and social anxiety, myself included. So, many use ERA as an outlet, which while potentially problematic as it could exacerbate depression, is also a place where many want to just be able to hang out without having to deal with all of the troubles and hardships of life.
- This is essentially a futile endeavour, this thread, since everybody's mind is already set. The NeoGAF users have made up their mind on the ResetERA users, and vice versa. I know from my time dealing with people on VGChartz (which I ended up leaving for ERA) that most conversations end up with neither side changing their views. And I generally won't change mine because I tend to consider it to be correct.
So dude is just extremely socially panicking and that thread might be the result of having an attack. Hell, i wouldn't put it past him that he just made a blanket plan for 5 days and simply was too scared to continue further or cancel the whole ordeal and so he went for 5 days when he is supposed to stay for 5 months.
If that's the case, then i have to ask: Who the fuck is guiding this user? Clearly, he planned all of that, surely someone else knew, right?
Oh shit dude, I remember that guy. I replied to him saying ResetEra is probably a bad environment for someone with those issues.
Then it was this:
I'm sorry to disappoint you guys but I only really made posts here in the first place to advance my account to PM. Now that I've accomplished what I came here for I don't have any intentions of making any more posts here.
Haha. Enjoy China ya wee prick.
