Support NeoGAF

What a backfire!

 

[cheststrongwell]

Next mod move after "We're Fun! Really!!" bit is the "thread has run it's course" lock message.

 

[nush]

This ones actually funny.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

I like how Zips basically rope-a-doped the mods there into embarrassing themselves further, and coming right out and admitting they punish wrong think. And he did it so effortlessly.

Someone should send Nepenthe's latest racist tirade to someone at MOBA. Make someone with a bunch of Twitter followers aware to signal boost it. Whatever. I think it would be hilarious to watch that little racist melt down when she loses control over her kingdom of nothing.

Some master trollers over there. Other good ones were the guy the who said $4.5M isn't that much money anyway, and another saying it's ok becasue mods got paid in clout power. Mods werent happy.

 

[jufonuk]

I'm hoping their post #5000 is a humdinger.

 

[Kev Kev]

god damnit planet smasher, thats not a humdinger! the fuck man...

Were Morrigan and Queen Vulpix both former mods? They sure seem to act like it.

Collect that and the scores of unchecked posts from users and mods that are pretty much the equivalent of "Jews run the world and drink the blood of Palestinian babies," then send it over. Shouldn't be too hard to find any of it.

That site is blatantly anti-Semitic.

 

[killatopak]

Isn’t Era owned by the EU now? Shouldn’t EU rules apply and allow him to delete his stuff?

Yeah, talk about not rising to the challenge. What a fuckwit PlanetSmasher is.

Morrigan was, lol, she had to quit in the past 1-2 weeks, shes an absolute bitch

 

[Kev Kev]

lol they are just handing out tags now to get everyone to stfu

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Give Seik credit. He's lasting.

lol they are just handing out tags now to get everyone to stfu

I was thinking the same thing. Nice detouring for a couple pages.

 

[cheststrongwell]

Seik being called champ by a big titty anime avatar now. He should have just left.

HOT OFF THE PRESSES!

Be sure to tell a friend about this month's exciting edition of ResetEra Monthly!

 

[GhostOfTsu]

Do they know yet that Cerium was a convicted homophobe or something?

I saw someone earlier say that at least before the money went to a good person (Cerium) and now it's going to those fishy MOBA people...

People with an account never posted that lawsuit?

 

[Arozay]

Form an orderly line for your tags guys.

Do you have the background on this, or can you point me to a link?

 

[haxan7]

Actually resorting to giving out tags to keep their users from leaving. That's a new one. Pity it will work for a lot of people I imagine.

She's a Montreal Canadiens fan, which explains a lot

Anyone else picking up on the mods giving out tags to steer the conversation away from the drama?

[Swift_Star]

Planetsmasher, the most hated era user lacks self awareness. If you're reading this, fuck you, cunt.

 

[Kev Kev]

oh look even tay got a tag

Coordinated in the secret discord for sure. "Shit's looking bad. Spam the thread with tag offers and Thanos gifs now! Go go go"!

B-Dubs secret meeting: "MOBA management got around to seeing this 5000 post clusterfuck of a thread. We got to do something!"

Nepenthe: "I got an idea. How about mods set up self-promotional donation pages? I started mine off already"

B-Dubs: "You fucking idiot! Take it down"

Nepenthe: "But I already got $135 in donations"

B-Dubs: "Change it to something else you idiot. For a dimwit paying 20% interest on a car loan, never give any of us advice again about money"

Nepenthe: "Couldnt help it. Me, Hecht and Royalan had to field the heat as all the rest of you asshole mods and admins avoided the thread. I had to think of something to post"

B-Dubs: "Never think again. OK for the rest of you zero paid lackeys, go join in the thread and do something to change the tune of the thread. Any ideas?"

Hecht: "Got a good one. I'll give out tags"

B-Dubs: "Jesus Fucking Christ. No wonder we pay you zero"

 

[Chiggs]

B-Dubs: "Jesus Fucking Christ. No wonder we pay you zero"

I'd pay to see this acted out.

Hello.

Howdy!

you're dead buddy. But free nonetheless.

Yeah. Wouldn't be the first ban I received there. This was the first one, for two words and an emoji.

It's not a worthwhile community to be a member of because of the moderation. It's why I stopped posting. GAF isn't without its' own issues and sadly doesn't have the activity, but at least there is some fun to be had and some good discussions.

As mentioned in the replies on Era (I think the ones mentioning it were posted here?), I largely don't post there because even the slightest misstep is grounds for a ban. I played it safe. I went to read news that I may have missed on Reddit from subreddits like r/GamingLeaksandRumours or other sections dedicated to specific games or franchises. I also don't really post on Reddit either but it's mainly because I don't care to.

That place is toxic af dude. The further you get away from it the clearer that is to see. Getting banned from there (as many of us have) isn’t a punishment, it’s a liberation.

Agreed. There are definitely some decent people there. It's just a shame that the ones in charge aren't any of them.

Zips! Mah dude! Your posts were the best. Rational, well thought out. I am sad that the mods (and most posters) don´t try to... you know... *think*. And fuck Nepenthe, that girl is the worst - they are the ones being openly racist and nothing happens, like... what the fuck is going on?

Thank you! To address your comment about the mods, it is indeed a shame. Their actions outside that thread are certainly something else. They have a bit of power and are just running with it. And with their actual "superior" just taking the money and running, they really had nobody that they need to answer to. They have free reign over things and it's gotten to the point where it's far, far worse than it used to be.

And then with how they're responding in that thread... All I can say is "yikes." They are showing they simply do not care. As far as Nepenthe is concerned, if it were literally anybody else, they would have been banned ages ago.

Also a couple of other things:
Sorry if I missed anybody else's response in here. This thread grew by quite a few pages since I last replied.

Second (but not least), thank you to whomever gifted me the NeoGAF Gold! I see that it was given about an hour ago but I'm not 100% sure on how to see who gifted (if there's even a way). That's super kind of you!
Edit: I just saw who gifted me Gold. Thank you! I'm not sure if you want your name mentioned but I see it in my Alert feed finally. Had to scroll down a bit.

Maybe if he had enough sense to stop worrying about safe spaces and "progressivism" he wouldn't be bothered about resetera in the first place.

[Chiggs]

If only more white liberals, self-proclaimed defenders of minorities everywhere, would recognize this.

Night GAF peace all over you

 

[killatopak]

Thank you ZeroX for trying to take the conversation back on track. Hopefully, people notice the distraction.

[StreetsofBeige]

Look at this asshole swooping in to defend the other mod about Cracker being ok since White people arent fragile enough to care.

 

[nush]

 

[Unknown?]

Someone post the response to this! Is he banned yet?

Dude had to sit there and watch his schtick get stolen by a guy with a dog avatar.
