I would say Gaf is near the centter except a couple of really passionate posters. If this was a far right message board there would not be topics dedicated to hi res images of boobs and butts.

I can't say much regarding this topic. I'd need to deep dive into the sexual desires of every political ideology, which could possibly mean getting smacked with the ban hammer

However, in general all across the political spectrum appreciate boobs and butts. It's universal.

Yeah, but on the far right there are a lot of people that basically think if you look at boobs too much on the internet you won't be sufficiently motivated to try to get women to show you their boobs in real life. So even though those guys are probably looking at boobs on the internet they publicly discourage others from doing so.

Unfortunately this is a topic that we cannot discuss here, so I shall say no more, bid you farewell and go for a violent fap.

God forbid you don't fucking console war or that's an instant perma.

Pro Tip: Just ignore people if you don't like what they say so much that it offends you.

Hello,

Today I used the report function three times.

1) For a person that compared the pressure of being anti vax to the jews being followed in the second world war ( https://www.neogaf.com/threads/covi...fauci-edition.1608887/page-231#post-265134179 )

2) The same person for calling for violence and people that want a vaccination mandate to be culled the next day. Yes those are this person's words (https://www.neogaf.com/threads/covi...fauci-edition.1608887/page-231#post-265134287 )

3) A different person in a different thread insulting people as idiots, dumb asses and people that can't read ( https://www.neogaf.com/threads/the-...ng-black-friday.1624941/page-3#post-265135071 )



And what happens? I get a warning and three points for using the report function while those posts still stand?

I hope this is a single moderator that is doing this and not reflective of the entire moderation staff who are doing this hard work voluntarely?

It would be very much appreciated if the moderators could look into this. I don't want to cause drama, but since I can't see who is handing out these infraction points I can't talk to them in PM.

Thank you for your time and understanding.

I've seen some thick skins on sale at Amazon you might want to check out.
 
Wow, I'm "famous" for calling people idiots.

Edit: you know what, I'll be the bigger man and I'll gladly accept a warning for that idiots post. I dont regret it nor do I take it back but hey, a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do. EviLore EviLore

I would genuinely like to see user's report history made public. It'd make for some pretty interesting reading seeing who runs to the mods every time they read an opinion they don't like. It'd probably make the mods jobs easier too.
 

Rest

All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
People get to post racist shit with impunity here. It's just about the only thing I report, and my reports are prettymuch always ignored. I basically don't report anything any more and just add shitheads to my ignore list.

I knew things would get worse before they got better after the schism, but it seems like the decision has been to let assholes infest the community and let the forum fester. I understand the desire not to let GAF become oldGAF 2.0, but the getting better that I expected hasn't come and that's not what GAF has always been about.

Where do you see racist stuff most often? I've reported a few awful things on gaming side and they generally get dealt with quickly.

No. Your warning was abusing the report function to cry about people having critical opinions of TLoU Part 2. It has been something we have noticed you started doing after you received a number of thread removals last year for continuously instigating/harassing people for having a difference of opinion over the subject. You were even given a slap on the wrist a few times for doing this very thing. Today you were formally warned for it.

I see a lot of racist stuff on both sides. One of the worst examples recently have been threads about casting in movies and stuff. People getting up in arms that characters previously portrayed as white will be played by minorities came up in several threads in quick succession.

But apparently, having negative opinions based on the race of people is okay as long as you don't use slurs, so a bunch of chucklefucks get to share their views with no repercussions because of "plausible deniability." Nevermind that there is never any logical support for the opinions in those threads; it is apparently okay to say "this fictional person should only be portrayed by white people because they have been portrayed as white in the past."

It's like the complaint people used to make about racists not liking black and brown elves in fantasy games because it wasn't "historically accurate." Nevermind that elves aren't real and have never been real. Nevermind that, for instance, Albert Wesker is a fake person from a fake game and everything about him is made up. Playing White™ characters is for "Whites Only," and as far as the moderation here is concerned the motivation for that feeling just needs "plausible deniability.*"

That sounds like complaining about racism?

No. GAF was never racist but there were like three members banned around December - January that were. Only racist crap I see and sometimes chime into myself is all this discrimination against green rats. Green Rats Matter.
 
OP, the first two posts from that Kenpachi guy are fucking nuts. He sounds extremely ignorant and I have no sympathy for anti-vaxxers. Still, I respect his stance on the matter, even though I strongly disagree with it and his comparison is some fucking bs that no sane person would ever make. Still, I wouldn't report him because of it, I would simply laugh it out, tell him to go pound sand and don't reply anything else.

The third post? Nothing wrong with it. Maybe he should be less aggressive but whatever. Really nothing wrong with it.


OP, chill. Learn to accept different views and don't go smash that report button the moment you disagree with someone.

I had a dream I reported myself asking for a title, and one of the mods replied "Sure, you can have 'Banned'" and then they permabanned me. This is much more elaborate way of going about that process.

OP, I sympathize, but you really should have just messaged a mod. Threads like these, while humorous, really just end up turning into people sniping at one another and airing information that we don't really care about (like how you were actually warned for caping for some game repeatedly).

Anyways, you seem like a cool guy all things considered (could probably use a little thickening of the skin if you're going to traffic discussion forums, though), so good luck.
