I'm Glad Some Cry-Babies Have Left / Self-Banned

Unless they've changed their minds in the last 12 hours, this isn't true.

Actually, it is.

Just to chime in here. 'Juniors' won't be labeled as such. Everyone is considered a 'Member' visibly. There will be some posting restrictions, but as far as a visible way to distinguish one from another, that won't be the case. It was something that pretty much all of the moderation team felt was the right way to go.

Oh wow, I can't link the site because it's banned, ha.
 
Absolutely dreadful mentality. "Oh, you're a white guy? Sit down and shut up; you by definition have nothing to add."

I'm not going to dwell on it because it's not meant to be discussed here for now.

When it comes to the Police in the USA I can see why people feel like that, so much twisting of language goes on to pretend nothing is wrong.

It's unworkable because people can pretend to be anything online, I'm not handing in my passport to prove who I am.
 
I feel like everyone has forgotten

The internet used to be about anonymity, it seems people no longer value that.
 
Actually, it is.

On top of that, they had a few threads about Junior labels, this seems like the end result of those threads.

To me, so far... It seems like a decent place to hang out.
 
Horse shit like this is apparently why:

Oh my god.

The whole practice of defining people by whatever group you've associated them with is so destructive.

You said that's from the new site? I mean... I guess if they're happy with it, best of luck to them.
 
Good luck to those of you wanting free speech on the other forum when you have people with mentalities like this:

Sigh.

At least you were "fair & balanced" in your representation.


This animosity toward RE is lame.

Both sites can coexist and achieve their intended goals without throwing stones.

I wish nothing but the best for both forums.
 
This has been a common issue unfortunately, and I've seen evidence of it recently.

It's laughable really, as the amount of posts someone makes on a forum doesn't make their opinion worth more than someone else.

Those more guilty of belittling juniors have moved over though. There'll always be someone that think's their more important than others regardless anyway, so just ignore them.

Had someone lose their shit and attack my Junior status for badmouthing Skyward Sword shortly before all this happened. Wonder how this person feels now, if they're even still around. lol

Edit: Just noticed now that I'm a full member. Double lol
 
Yeah because letting in Diablos, Derrick01 and other notorious banned gaf posters in will make it a hive mind and echo chamber.
Ppl see what they wanna see.

Just like the post that got cherry picked, they conveniently left out the ones that disagreed with the op and that disagreed with that post.
And the thread got locked.

Hive mind indeed.
 
Sigh.

Some people are only going over there to make themselves miserable, they miss rabid lefties, they just can't admit it :P
 
Personally speaking you deserved it and I wouldn't have let you come back. If someone makes a racist comment the last thing I want to see is someone trying to rationalize their racism. There is absolutely no excuse for what he said. Not only did you try to downplay it... Why is it necessary to state your black and ask if the other people outraged are black as if to prove a point? Whatever angle you were trying to spin for yourself to make us look like we were wrong for being upset failed. You even went further to call out people for picking and choosing battles... We battle racism every single day and we do what we can where we can. Of course it's impossible to fight every single person that spouts racism... the larger someone's audience is... the larger the backlash. It's not hard to understand. I'm disappointed you weren't permanently removed honestly speaking, but thankfully I'm out of this place. Still awaiting my ban.
You picked what you wanted out of the post...you will never know, if you are not black, how it is on a day to day.
 
Hopefully the hivemind left
It's more likely that one remains, if anything. A culture of consent isn't important to develop and progress, learning and growing is for cry-babies, being sensitive to the experiences of women, especially to sexual misconduct/assault/rape isn't necessary. This was a messaging and moderation nightmare. The community wasn't perfect, but the way this was handled made it very unlikely any decent, empathetic thinkers will stay. So what's left are people who are apathetic or agree that it's morally acceptable to support someone who conducts themselves and their site in this way.
 
Neogaf has gone center right now...

It's better to be center right/left than full on right or left.

I didn't post on the forum because it was very far left leaning. Certain people backseat modded and were ban baiting with political bullshit, even in gaming. They would only get slaps on the wrist when similar behaviour from opposite side would get perma banned.

As outsider, I quickly decided not to post at all so I wouldn't accidently offend some protected posters when no offense was meant from me.

As a poster from Russia I think my centrist views might not be tolerated, I saw multiple people dog piled and called Russian trolls/shills if they didn't go full blown "fuck Putin, fuck my country, etc".

Pretty much anyone that acknowledged that post at Reset Era called it out, but here everyone wants to pretend that it is somehow indicative of the board itself. These are petty days at GAF...

Aaaaand that's strike two for me.

Ha, Xaero, I hope you are giving each forum more than three strikes. Because if a single dumb post counts as a strike then neither forum could last five minutes of casual browsing.
 
It's pretty hysterical that EL locked the "state of GAF" thread.

He should have, it was nothing more than people doing what they shouldn't honestly. If people only want to post here about invites and things well that isn't the thread to do it, the topic was off topic and should have been locked imo

Otherwise, if they want to talk about him and what is going on there are other threads with that right now.

So why is he acting like a child in other threads then?
 
I really have to wonder how these people function in the real world. It's gotta be such a chore

Multiple-personality-syndrome-lite, I assume. It kinda works like religion. A nice face for god/the community, a bad face for the real you. It can work.

Fair enough to close it if its ran its course but if he wants the board to move on and start being respectful and treating people with consideration and respect why close it with:

evilore said:
I endorse going and registering on Resetera. "Make gaming great again." Have fun! Bye!

Now, moving on...

That doesn't really seem very adult to me.

So why is he acting like a child in other threads then?

Yep, he's been acting petty and childish in just about every post he's made since the original post of that thread. Certainly not acting as an example toward civil discourse.
 
It's pretty hysterical that EL locked the "state of GAF" thread.

That thread absolutely should have been locked way before that. At that point it was about 10% actual discussion, 30% shitting on Evilore, and 60% invite begging for the new site.

Though his parting shot plus his other posts today don't exactly make him any more of a sympathetic figure in this.

Actually, it is.

Ah okay, glad that's the case then. All I'd heard was about the fact that Junior status was still fully a thing. The part about 'hiding' it from the community is a positive step I hadn't heard about. Though if somebody wanted to be a prick they could always just click and see the post count. Right now everybody has a low post count, but down the road that won't be the case.

I'm not sure there's anything that is defensible about Putin or Russia, based just on the past year, but that's just me.
 
So why is he acting like a child in other threads then?

I explained why I thought that in his what he should do next thread, possibly a person that just always likes control. I never say I agree with what he is doing. In fact, he sort of pissed me off that he is doing what he is doing more than anything when he could roll up his sleeves and do things to make it work.

I don't know him that well to know if he only cares himself and only does what he wants only with a power glove. But maybe?

How long does it take to open OT? Why? It's all silly but maybe he will look "good" if things go booming again, either way. I still don't agree with his statement, closing of things etc

It can't be that hard to make this forum have features and work well when you have the money he has been said to have.
 
Fucking disgusting if you ask me...

Did this mentality exist here before?

Uhm, yeah? There are idiots on every site. And I hope you don't think one poster's mentality equals the whole forum's mentality, especially since everyone called him out on his disgusting comment who replied him.

It's a great thing, attacking someone because they had Junior under their name was really stupid. I also like how mods aren't as visible as here (no red name, just a small "Mod" tag), they don't feel that threatening that way. I think the forum is off to a great start, I like the mentality of the admin/mod team, but we'll see if it lasts. EviLore's attitude in the past few days really hasn't helped convincing me that this is a better place. Does he even care anymore?
 
-Pepe name and avatar

-From Russia

-Screams about "Persecution" from the left

-Defends Putin


Welcome to the new GAF people.

So now I have to choose between a forum which prides itself in having corporate shills and platform warriors as admins or one that, in addition to having the admin it has, is becoming KotakuinAction's new channel.

Great : \

Wow. How the mighty have fallen. This is almost as bad as socialcuckwarrior88, except that guy was instantly banned over on the other side.
 
I have respect for those who gracefully exited the forum and started anew elsewhere. Those who've decided to shit post there way to a ban should be ostricized at the other place, but as of right now they seem to be welcomed.

Welcome to the new GAF people.

He hasn't defended Putin. Why being Russian would be a problem? Please don't fall for the pepe = racism narrative pushed by the trolls from /pol/.
