I do not quite get what you want to get at but yes, Cerium was a user here, Cerium posted mainly about games, but also about social issues in games (he was very active in the discussions about Yooka and A Hat in Time wrt Jontron's involvement. I did have the impression he is a political person, but if you want to know more about him, it's probably best to ask him?About Cerium....
He's the creator of Resetera, right? But he seemed like an simple user... that doesn't matter. What matters is he's here in NeoGAF as well, though he hasn't logged in to this since the October thing.
I don't want to ping him, so you can search for his name. His name is the same as on Resetera...
Checking through his posts, it seems to be mainly gaming and normal things. He didn't seem like an political person, to be really honest.

I don’t know what your end game is, but whatever you are doing, do it in your own time and don’t bring it to GAF. Stick to your regular thread on KiwiFarms.Sorry I didn't get my point across. But yeah, I was trying to dig into him to see that if there may have been something linked to Resetera. I know that he's a creator there, but there are sometimes deep secrets. that may be hidden.
You know what, nevermind. I think it's better to not dig too much into him.
Checking through his posts, it seems to be mainly gaming and normal things. He didn't seem like an political person, to be really honest.
He's not, it's all about the $$$ from outrage and discrimination culture. Has Ree ever done anything to donate to or support the causes they claim to be founded on? Is he ever active in that community other than word of God statement posts?
He's going to flip that forum as soon as he gets a big enough offer like EviLore didn't sell out for.
Remember how there were users on Neogaf that said "Conservatives just need to reach out to Hispanic voters to win them over?".
About that...
VICE: Latino Conservatives Debate Liberals on Immigration, Trump, and Race
That is true of any large group. You are always going to find differing viewpoints. But when dealing with large groups, there are also going to be identifiable trends and generalizations. If you ignore that, then everything becomes a No True Scotsman/All Lives Matter argument. Trump wishes...www.resetera.com
You can read the entire thread to see the shit show that Reset is going ballistic at Hispanic/Latinos voting conservative.
It is not possible to win elections anymore without having the demographics. This is no longer theory, it is complete FACT.
Republicans are going to be completely screwed in the future because they let the SJW's control the racial narrative. The warnings signs are already there, but NOTHING is being done to stop this.
Edit: And oh yeah, they need to fucking hurry up and do something about this fast. The Democrats are about to go all in on race like never before.
If I wanted to see that kind of stuff I'd just wait for another accusation to be thrown at a mod or admin here.If you're trying to sow division and distrust among the community here, obviously that hasn't worked. This community is stronger than you think.
Seriously the discussion about Professor Beef is so overblown. Beef was wrong in his assumption that this was another (?) stunt for attention, made a terribly insensitive post and stepped back as a consequence. There is no great conpiracy, just one man who misjudged a situation and posted something insensible because of that. By my conversations with Professor Beef in various Sonic discussions (I never dealt with him in the capcacity of a moderator), he was a nice person and I am sure he regrets what he has said there. Please do not start witch hunts in particular ones based on isolated bad postings. I am sure everyone who is on a message board such as NeoGAF or Resetera over a long period of time will make some postings he is not all too proud of in hindsight.It's bad enough that a mod just had to call Etika out in April, and then pretend like he cared. I think I might've been looking too hard into it, since I only was looking into whenever other mods had a similar behavior to that Professor guy.

I don't think you need to apologise at all in any form. Regardless if Cerium is a fine upstanding citizen with a halo, he Is responsible for that cesspool of a place, but I guess if the $$$ keeps rolling in, who cares right?I think you helped me answer my question. In short, I don't think so to both of the statement. Nevermind, then.
Sorry if what I said seemed weird earlier. I was just simply curious if Cerium was a bit similar to those other REEEERA members- you know, not caring, etc. First there was some suspicious of pedo ring, then this Etika thing. I wondered why Cerium didn't seem to take action- I know there are several reasons at that time, such as the reason being that it was just made as a 'play'. But, considering the heavy dog-pill, negative comments, I'd think he would've done something about it, even if just a little. And no, it didn't happen.
I guess I'm just genuinely a bit paranoid, that maybe he is in a similar situation, as those Resetera members. If so, it would put him in a bad light as the director of a forum.
It's bad enough that a mod just had to call Etika out in April, and then pretend like he cared. I think I might've been looking too hard into it, since I only was looking into whenever other mods had a similar behavior to that Professor guy.
Again, I apologize if I made you all a little upset or worried. I'll go take a break now.
Exactly this. Intentions be damned he created a monster and then made a choice not to put it down.I don't think you need to apologise at all in any form. Regardless if Cerium is a fine upstanding citizen with a halo, he Is responsible for that cesspool of a place, but I guess if the $$$ keeps rolling in, who cares right?
You literally just started a witch hunt thread in Politics subforum accusing JordanN of being a racist. And because you failed to reign in your pedantic tic once again, making that thread only "normalized" and "provided a platform for" JordanN to stomp all over your argument and rub your face in it over the course of several pages. This brought even more attention to the ideas you were trying to stomp out.Seriously the discussion about Professor Beef is so overblown.

In a nutshell, there are a lot of members but regular Joe soap hasn't yet realised the underbelly of that place.Cerrium certainly is not dumb...he was there to offer a group of people a platform to continue their journey into whatever abyss they are travelling towards ....evilore did not offer them that means
At the end of the day he makes money from it and this group of mods get perceived power....cerium only needs to give that illusion to this group and the whole thing keeps ticking along but the second this thing begins to cost money is the second he’s gonna drop the place
There’s a reason why they have an army of moderators and plants in various popular sites and that is because they can control the flow of information or limit it
You saw it first hand with the pedogate stuff and them activity taking down various outlets that were reporting on it.
It’s also one of the reasons why people have not sued them for slander or damages as they use that same machine to generate hate towards whatever person/topic rustles the jimmies....the more clicks the more cerium makes
Eventually they are going to own goal themselves (which they are already starting to do) or someone with enough money is going to get sick of their shit and take them to court
Then you will see how loyal people are
Even the nicest guys and even the smart ones can get brainwashed from this SJW moral compassing nonsense.
I think ULTROS! comment was in reply to mine rather than the other issue about "him"Being nice isn't a qualification for anything. The ex-mods mainly wanted him for his diversity attributes.

Ahh i understand, its a balance mate, you want a big community with lots of JRPG talk but also where you can actually fell comfortableYup.
Ah well, I do miss the big gaming community especially when it comes to JRPGs. Hope it will grow here more!
Be the change. Make the threads people will eventually pick up on it.Yup.
Ah well, I do miss the big gaming community especially when it comes to JRPGs. Hope it will grow here more!
It'll keep growing. GAF had to start somewhere once before, and it's doing so again. There are still a bunch of communities out that thing this GAF is still the same GAF that became a laughing stock everywhere else on the internet. So it's only a matter of time before more and more people realize how much better this place has become.Yup.
Ah well, I do miss the big gaming community especially when it comes to JRPGs. Hope it will grow here more!
While I haven't been around too long, from my perspective this community is the strongest it has been, at least when it comes to a sense of camaraderie. And it's hands down my favorite version of GAF.
Go hunting for secrets and controversies about members of Era... it's something Era community would do. Please don't bring this shitness on Gaf.
In any case, the shit inside Era will resurface on it's own, there's no need to look for it.
I don’t know what your end game is, but whatever you are doing, do it in your own time and don’t bring it to GAF. Stick to your regular thread on KiwiFarms.
This stuff shits up the forum.
Laughing and pointing at the retarded REEEEEING over there is not the same thing as delving into people’s online lives and possibly doxxing them.In all fairness, this entire thread is about talking smack about Era and its members. We arnt saving whales from the Japanese or holding peace negotiations between Trump and Kim.
This is like MGSV, we are getting knee deep in dirt, we arnt heroes and we are sacrificing our humanity in the name of revenge. This is now Outer Heaven and we are all Big Boss.
I started the thread because I was told this is the only way I can answer to him. It is not my policy and in any community I respect, I cannot let racism be uncommented.You literally just started a witch hunt thread in Politics subforum accusing JordanN of being a racist.

“Possibly doxxing”Checking someone's posting history isn't doxxing and if it were then why would it be publicly available for us all to see? Did the user you quoted specify doing some other activity involving their personal details?
I started the thread because I was told this is the only way I can answer to him. It is not my policy and in any community I respect, I cannot let racism be uncommented.
I also do not think your valuation of what I said in the thread is correct; I have defined racism and demonstrated that JordanN's postings reek of it. He disagrees with the definition, but refuses to provide an alternative.
I cannot answer this question, because I do not know what you want to know.Yosh, what's your endgame with this?
I cannot answer this question, because I do not know what you want to know.
No, my only goal is to demonstrate that not everyone on this forum tolerates or even agrees with such racist discussions. Of course, it would be great if JordanN were to stop posting his non-stop race-garbage (or better even, also stops obsessing about race), but I recognise that's utopic. Leaving racism unopposed is deeply immoral from my point of view. I dislike the "make a new thread in politics" solution - precisely because it makes it more personal than necessary, but since it is the only solution available to me, I need to resort to this measure. The only alternative for me would be to request account closure.I’ll rephrase. What outcome are you aiming to achieve with this witch hunt against JordanN?
Driving him off the forum? Baiting him into saying something that gets him banned? Confession of being a horrible racist and submission to your will for judgment?
Megadrive sounds sick and awesome, Genesis is the Bible and Phil Collins.Mega Drive is a bad name
If you just compare the names “Mega Drive” and “Genesis”, both are perfectly fine choices, and I could see someone having a preference for either one. But when you look at the full names, with “Sega” included, it’s a different story. Sega Mega Drive. Sega Genesis. “Sega Genesis” rolls off...www.resetera.com
The most disgusting thread on Resetera ever. I am outraged!
I grew up with the megadrive.....and I turned out as a perfectly fine straight white ma....oh waitMegadrive sounds sick and awesome, Genesis is the Bible and Phil Collins.
Spotted the dirty foreignerMegadrive sounds sick and awesome, Genesis is the Bible and Phil Collins.
He is the poster that though video game characters needed sports bras and meant it. Let that sink in.
Viewing ban notes publicly is the best new forum feature of all time.
Also, full apologies to brap , I thought an earlier reply to Astartes was serious and took it literal. Told him to F off.
Apologies.

So witch hunts are okay as long as you personally feel strongly enough about them.I started the thread because I was told this is the only way I can answer to him. It is not my policy and in any community I respect, I cannot let racism be uncommented.

But otherwise, witch hunts against ERA users should be discouraged and we should stop picking on poor, innocent ERA.
Goodness, are you going to go back to making hamfisted arguments about how "GAF leans right" again? You so frequently stan for ERA while showing no regard for your fellow GAF members that it gives the impression you are only here to stand up for them. Show some spine, if you can, because this is disturbing.
Hey-o! Stop "dogpiling".You're missing the point, he's deliberately contrarian for the attention, as long as he's getting it.
No witch hunts are never OK. But "I think you are a racist and I do not say so because you are a Republican supporter, but because of what you have said in the past" is not a witch hunt. "There is someone who has said something insensitive, so what else do we have against him, and how are others also at fault, does anyone have any further mud on related people?" is a witch hunt.So witch hunts are okay as long as you personally feel strongly enough about them.
See how often I comment in here? There are tons of "haha, this guy has posted something I do no agree with" postings here and the majority of such postings I do not comment on at all. Enjoy your laughs, but if you start targeting people with shots in the blue of the kind "maybe he has done something?" then it really gets tasteless.But otherwise, witch hunts against ERA users should be discouraged and we should stop picking on poor, innocent ERA.
I still think that GAF leans right (in terms of postings in political contexts, of course I cannot give any opinion on political orientation of people who haven't posted [much] about politics), but what do you expect me to discuss in that regard at the moment?Goodness, are you going to go back to making hamfisted arguments about how "GAF leans right" again?
You know I knew in advance that calling out JordanN's racism is not exactly a popular thing here, the spineless thing would have been to not say anything about it. It is unclear to me why you think I do not show regard to GAF posters in general.You so frequently stan for ERA while showing no regard for your fellow GAF members that it gives the impression you are only here to stand up for them.

Artificial framing. It's a witch hunt. You opened a thread calling out a specific user with the premise that they are racist. That's a terrible way of beginning a conversation.No witch hunts are never OK. But "I think you are a racist and I do not say so because you are a Republican supporter, but because of what you have said in the past" is not a witch hunt. "There is someone who has said something insensitive, so what else do we have against him, and how are others also at fault, does anyone have any further mud on related people?" is a witch hunt.
I brought it up as an opportunity for you to reflect on your own poor record when it comes to correctly identifying things. I could've used any number of examples, like your hamfisted arguments about the electoral college.See how often I comment in here?
