Lmfao @ Nobody Important constantly keeps ducking Melon. And then it's revealed he has her on ignore without knowing why. you can't make that shit up. best back and forth ever.

Honest to God I have no idea when or why that even happened. I usually reserve the ignore function for the worst people I come across, but as far as I know Melon is pretty okay so idk what happened.

 

[Schrödinger's cat]

At this juncture I would like to declare how proud I am to be a member of NI's ignore list.

Watch out. I'm a 'worst people'. (Sorry mom!)

Are you sure you’re not just backtracking because you found out she’s a woman

Hey if you can find a post she ever made that would warrant me blocking her then more power to you. I usually remember this kind of thing since I regularly add and remove people.

I guess you're on Jimbos ignore list.

Probably sick of her posting selfies.

 

[Shizumapower]

This is your biggest lie yet

 

[Whitesnake]

Yeah and you guys revoked them without actually ever telling me the posts that I were reporting were not violating the rules. So I just went on reporting posts that I thought were in violation of the rules. It wasn't until much later that I realized that Gaf was nowhere near as strict as it used to be before the schism or as strict as some other forums that I have been apart of. And then you took the function away from me without ever actually telling me that you did it. I had to ask around to other members and mods to see what was going on. And once I was finally told when and why it was taken I explained my thought process and apologized for what I had done. But instead of returning the privilege to me (despite it being well over a year since you have taken it and me obviously understanding where I went wrong) you continue to just use it as a bludgeon to make fun of me whenever you want to since you know you can. And the funny thing is that even if you returned it to me it would be utterly useless to me because as you have already demonstrated in here the rules aren't really rules. They are more like guidelines. It just depends on who says what to who. Oh and if the person "deserves it" or not.



You always claim that Gaf is better than Era, but as far as I can tell you are no better than them when it comes to applying your own rules evenly. You play favorites just like them. The only difference is which "team" the favorites play for.

That’s an awful lot of words to say “I’m a little crying baby who can’t take banter”.

I would normally suggest that you think about how you got to this point, but self-reflection isn’t your strong suit.

"Banter" lol


Sure.

Man I go to bed way too early I guess.

By all means, show us the horrible oppression you face at the hands of shitposters.

If you‘re willing bitch and moan about it so fervently, I’m sure you have many examples in mind that you’re eagerly waiting to show everyone, yes?

 

[Tesseract]

i'm still waiting for the other evidence

 

[Raven117]

I’m a hair older in the spectrum, and my education both undergrad and law school taught that there are no sacred cows. Question everything. The free flowing of ideas and their discussion no matter what always was better at addressing problems than silencing that discussion long term.

I used to think that was the end game for all people who sought information education and understanding.

I was wrong.

Places like Reset do not value that. They are actively against that. Once you realize that, then you can properly place resetera where it wants to be. Firmly a safe space echo chamber for the far left. They want it that way. And that’s fine. We can all do what want. Just don’t go in there with any illusion that a discussion is what they are after.

Here is much more open. Say what you want. Get ready to be challenged though.

 

[Tesseract]

imagine being the grandiloquent guy who goes to the same dive bar night after night

such forlorn pretension doesn't fit the character, no matter how much you think it might

 

[DeepEnigma]

Yeah I don't like fireball. I drink Shire Fire.

Fireball is pure garbage. Good on you.

 

[Cybrwzrd]

I usually remember this kind of thing since I regularly add and remove people.

The ignore feature lowered the collective IQ of the internet by a single standard deviation. It made it far too easy for easily butthurt people to feel "safe".

 

[Dr. Claus]

Only N_I would look at Era and its blatant racism, doxxing, transphobia, homophobia, sexism , moderators that support such and prolific use of terminology such as "coon", and think, "Yea, they are on the same level as GAF." What a joke.

 

[IDKFA]

Gaf.

This topic wouldn't be allowed on Era. The thread would be closed and the OP would get a ban.

 

[Dr.Guru of Peru]

Resetera is cool if you stick to the threads that are largely shielded from the moderators (i.e. community threads - NHL, auto, cycle etc.). Those threads were pretty much the only threads I posted on in Old GAF in the years leading up to the break up, and they really don't have a remaining equivalent here. But with COVID19, a lot of those are of kind of dead anyways. I generally avoid the rest of the forum because its no fun being dog piled on and banned for simply having an unpopular opinion.

General GAF is generally a more comfortable/better place to post. I think I've posted more since the breakup due to less fear of being banned for saying something stupid or unpopular, but that fear isn't completely gone. I do wish moderators would communicate more and make it more transparent re: what is permissible and what is not. I had a warning a few months ago (?maybe a year) on one of my posts, and it was really vague and unclear why. I'm pretty sure my posting slowed down after that, and really only picked up after COVID. I do think the fear of being banned stifles a lot of content on these forums, and the best way to do that (short of just not banning people) is to be extremely transparent and clear with what is allowed and what is not.

How did they dox people again?

Why would I do that? It’s your ignore list mate.

Like any tool, it's all in how you use it.
It was a godsent when GFAQs finally added the feature in 2007 or so. Small communities could just unilaterally put obvious trolls on ignore and they are effectively dealt with.

 

[Mista]

Funny how this thread ended being about nobody important. Wordplay? I’ll take it.

 

[belmarduk]

Fireball is pure garbage. Good on you.

Do you have a recommendation for a better cinnamon whiskey? I'm not much of a drinker.

 

[DeepEnigma]

I personally don’t like any of them, I’m not into the overly sugary liquors.

If I’m going to drink whiskey, it’s going to be Jamison black label or above, but I stopped drinking a while ago and haven’t had a single drop since.

Did find this article real quick.

The wholeCDPR/GoG situation was another massive doxxing that took place by Era and promoted by their moderators.

There are more as well. Just google it.

And that’s before you even get onto the topic of dos attacks
It’s funny how these random things that happened on gaf at the purge seem to keep happening to poor unlucky developers/bloggers or anyone that the borg cube at reee doesn’t like

 

[belmarduk]

Why did ResetERA dox a Japanese band? Did they get a pronoun wrong or something? Surely, ResetEra recognizes this behavior is wrong.. although the music in Ys 8 was kind of disappointing.. maybe that's the reason?

 

[Gamerguy84]

One thing that was beyond, way beyind disgusting was the pack celebrating the death of the developer that Zoe Quinn went after.

Which caused the mob to go after him without knowing shit, he took his own life.

I also wonder about the transgender person Dave Chapelle talked about in his recent Netflix concert. She took her own life but always defended Chapelle, in fact, she was constantly being harassed by transgender rights people who felt they should speak for everyone.

 

[Mexen]

GAFEra of course.

 

[TaySan]

Gamespot system wars : P

 

[Roufianos]

There was a period when GAF was basically dead that ResetEra was better for gaming news discussion.

Now GAF's back and it's impossible to avoid the retardation at ResetEra, even in the gaming section. No need to visit that shit hole, it's a plague on the whole industry at this point.

Yeah I agree, I have 2 people on ignore and they are both just massive politics section trolls if I couldn't filter their low effort shit posting in there it would be very disappointing

Gaforlyf.

 

[nush]

Nobody_Important: Has left the chat.

 

[iorek21]

GAF, obviously

We can type common stuff freely without the fear of being banned

Meanwhile in ERA, we can’t type 2 words without offending someone

 

[Nobody_Important]

If you happen to be in Texas I would recommend Shire Fire cinnamon whiskey.

And Etika?

God, that thread was the most disgusting piece of crap I ever read. Even a mod was mocking him over his suicide. Massive amount of people mocking...if they ever got banned was not because of their shit attitude. It was because the nazi mods were afraid of being target of heavy criticism.

and he still comes here and defends the place.

 

[Rightisright]

I’ve never played ball with the corporate powers (threatened with blacklisting many times) and have always tried to keep things neutral and pro-indie in the gaming space. Journalists never liked GAF much, either, since we were always critical of how they were mostly huge shills and incompetent at gaming, and so a lot of the gaming press were happy to fan the flames back in 2017.

That’s one of the critical differences between GAF and Reset. Reset fellates certain gaming press personalities from the top down at every opportunity, and they’re more than willing to sell out to corporate industry interests.

If anyone posts anything that remotely disagrees with an industry perp, that fucker gets banned so quick his avatars head is spinning.

 

[ORI]

I remembered my password. As a member of both I’d have to say GAF. Era at this point is right where gaf was before the craziness I mean all it consist of America sucks.... cops suck...... White people are racist...... Trump is at fault for everything...... I mean who enjoys being that unhappy and miserable all the time ? You can’t post if you have an opinion against the herd. It’s just negative over there.

To be fair, Trump does suck and as a result America isn't the shining beacon it once was. But I can agree with the rest, at least we can get a discussion here.

 

[ORI]

Overall, Resetera has the better content with gaming discussions being quite robust and very very interesting at times. But anything political or racial is a shot show there. I am left leaning democrat but even I have my limits. Most recently they claimed that liking Barrett in the new final fantasy was considered rascist. That thread now had several people banned even for saying one liners like "I disagree and thought Barrett was well done" boom 2 months ban. I mean that is some bull shit. I didn't even bother posting.


That being said, politically I have more in common with them then I do with the deplorables of Trump, way more. But at least in this forum I can call the deplorable an idiot and move on with my life without worrying about being banned.

TL;DR: fuck Trump, but at least I can have that opinion here and not be banned!

 

[mcjmetroid]

I love this thread now

I knew I was right to come back to this thread!

 

[Compsiox]

Getting banned from any community is super sad. Especially since you can't explain to someone in real-time after the fact when trying to appeal. They just take your email appeal or whatever and you hope they interpret what you're saying correctly.

I'm sure here the community has a little more freedom as to what they can say without getting destroyed so I'll go with GAF.

Get over yourself

Get over yourself

I know it hurts to be a deplorable. Every day I thank God I was given a proper education. Enjoy your life moron, and enjoy your time on my ignore list.

Edit: you should have a bleach Martini tonight, be generous and treat yourself. You deserve it!
