Resetera and the pedo problem (updates)

For everyone here who is a recovering Reesetter, or who has come from Reesetti to defend your forum, or for people who are simply new, I will now offer the best explanation I have ever read for Internet groups like Ree.


Ree is an example of a Narrativist group on the Internet. They are little different from the likes of Free Republic in that regard, the site which this interesting blog post was originally written about. Any kind of conspiracy theorist group you've heard of, like the 9/11 Truthers and the Sandy Hook Truthers, also fit into this definition. Please who used to believe what Alex Jones said are also such a group.

Please read and enjoy this blog post. It literally explains everything about Reesetti.

If I had to guess, it's probably from one of the E3 podcasts this week where he mentioned various sites he goes to for news or reactions or something and he finished by saying something along the lines of '...and resetera, but I always go away from there feeling bad.'
Some dev said it and Jeff agreed.

I'm afraid not. I'm not the writer of that blog nor do I even know who it is. I was just randomly linked it a long time ago and read it and I realized this explains everything about them. Since then I've linked it in random contexts anytime someone wants an explanation of that place.
 

Rest

All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
Alright, so, I've tried to read a bunch of the stuff in this thread, but I'm not really seeing anything conclusive, and the screen shots seem to me to be borderline creepy at worst, but lacking in context to really draw a conclusion from. Is there an actual smoking gun? Or is this thread just a "we hate resetERA" circle jerk?

There was a guy in one of the screens boasting of his collection of 12-16 year old erotica, but the behaviour of the Ree admins in response to the accusations is the biggest thing out of this imo. If this is how they behave with accusations of serious illegal activity, what else have they covered up? Why was an accusation of much lower consequence with far less evidence enough for them to throw EL under the bus, but when it’s their asses on the line, they just sweep it under the rug?

They're saying Celine.D.Sykes Celine.D.Sykes "was permanently banned from ResetEra for repeatedly trolling topics related to bigotry" and spin it by saying she's just doing this " coordinated trolling campaign"as retaliation. They list bans:

These bans are fucking laughable, and just seem like stuff any sane person would say. The first ban is for not thinking pewds is a nazi personally responsible for Christchurch. The third ban is for saying that going back to 20 year-old games to find "problematic" content is pathetic (which it is). But what really cracked me up was the second ban where OP is banned for saying that not all women are goldiggers and she was actually banned for "misogyny". How the fuck is standing up for women, misogyny, these people are seriously mentally ill. It seems to me that place only supports women if they have penises.

I don't know if you're Canadian or French OP but I hope it's the latter because France could use more people like you.

After reading this thread of shite.
I am so glad i never went to that shit hole site.
And i am still glad the great flush happened on neogaf. This place went from being run by idiots to a place that is welcome to users.

Resetera is such a fucking maggot infested shit hole. How people can even visit that site boggles my mind. Even giant bomb's jeff gerstman laughed when they stated that resetera makes people sad.


That website is like twitter. Nobody needs it. It actually makes this world a worse place.


You got a link to that?

It's just more conspiracies from the "alt-right".
 

ULTROS!

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
If GAF is alt-right then they’re either extreme communists or anarchists.

This is a duplicate of the Staff response:

"At least some of the new screenshots appear to have been conveniently cropped / dishonestly framed to make the intent of certain statements look completely different. For example one user was made to look like he was saying he loves Europe's lower age of consent, when he was actually replying to a conversation about the French dub of Metal Gear Solid. However, as the result of our own research and reports from members in good faith, we have issued some permanent bans for members who exhibited inappropriate off-site activity. This has always been our procedure.

The original screenshots now appear to have been taken down; we'd like to be clear that we did not request their removal. We do not know who took them down or for what reasons."


The OP of this thread includes screenshots that do not appear to be taken down.

Regardless of the convenient cropping, and "framing," I am hilariously entertained by the fact that the staff response does not include the phrase: "This text has been altered."

Therefore, for those of you in a Staff position within your company I ask you:

Since you have implicitly confirmed the veracity of the accusation, How do you respond to your customers, advertisers, web host, (godaddy.com - U.S. Registered and publicly traded company) gaming industry professionals, and people who have a responsibility for the safety and sense of security within their families and communities: Why are you running a website with a staff that openly and honestly fetishizes and celebrates potential assaults upon children. Further, why are you actively protecting and destroying information to defend people who are a danger to children?

Why is none of this addressed within your staff response? Or is "thread closed" a suitable response - much the same as "I don't agree therefore I choose to not listen?"
