Support NeoGAF

Used to lurk here before politics got deleted

; )

Mostly an excuse to tell their new buddies at the derrrp pad how, "oh, those mean trolls, those bad mods, oh those GAF people..." And have one of their d'erp mods pat them on the shoulder and say, "there, there child. you can console war, go on psycho-political rants and...here's a special controller for you. Those bad GAF people can't hurt you here."

Goodness...just nauseating to know those freaks actually created their own forum. They really wanted that echo chamber. Buncha sick freaks...

Nauseating? It's commendable; rather than sit around and make everyone have a shit time they wise-d up and made their own casino with black jack and hookers just like we have here
Just another casino is all, everyone going to their preferred business/venue for entertainment

This coming from I, who went full virgin troll mode and actually registered an account to get them to shut the fuck up because it was ruining lurking

It's so much of a salt mine, that there is now a spin off of the spin off forum for those that called out it was an echo chamber. It's top millennials internet drama.

Would you rather it here? They went and made their own forum with their own rules and content, actually quite mature and respectable lol

Not all of the people who floated to other platforms were disagreeable, just wanted a certain type of content Though I will say that whole "We'll all volunteer as tribute for a self ban!" Hunger Games moment was cringe af

The politics section was a wild ride while it lasted.
I don't miss it necessarily, but man, those memories:

-All of those sad souls posting vehemently there.
-Getting banned.
-Getting upset over NOTHING.
-They're occasionally crying.
-They're always seething.
-Some of them wet their pants, because they refused to go take a piss and wanted to continue on typing out insipid arguments.

It was an awesome conflagration to behold on a daily basis.
I will forever love you, politics section.
But you can fuck off.

I still have the announcement pinned to the top of my pages
And yeah some of the trolling you could do to those folks...chef's kiss

One or two of them I feel bad about though; even the Guardian Force got on to me for being too savage here and there lol

I genuinely enjoy talking politics with people when they can remain calm during disagreements. It's a shame but it is honestly for the best.

Wait, you mean, you enjoy mature conversation?
Fuck me silly, MV

My boss asked me to do a PowerPoint for him. I had to gerber some data from my colleagues. One of them took it upon themselves to do the entire PPT, saving me the hassle. All I had to do was plug in my data and make it a bit prettier.

MEANWHILE
I GET TO CREATE A TRAINING FOR MY TEAM ON SELECTING THE RIGHT FUCKING CONTRACTS IN OUR TICKETING SYSTEM WHERE IT GIVES YOU A FUCKING ERROR SAYING IT'S NOT THE RIGHT CONTRACT BUT NO OPTION TO NOT ALLOW TO BYPASS IT

So since I'm permanently banned from the Activision mega thread, I guess I'm Free to make new threads to discuss the deal?

I can't see never being allowed to discuss the merger, because I had the audacity to suggest someone was having a meltdown?

They continue to post but I can't?

Just ping Mod of War and discuss it like an adult

That's probably the last one I'd try.

I remember how moderation of the "Next gen" megathread was if anyone questioned the SSD.

 

[ThatGamingDude]

That's probably the last one I'd try.

Wha? MoW is seriously chill af lol

Just don't be a jerk and compromise and you'll be fine; I've gotten a few finger wags from the mods here and they're surprisingly chill if you just try to come to an understanding
Like I now understand the limitations of what I can post about modding consoles and pirating because I talked to them about it

I don't mind finger wags or even warnings. Shit I've taken a few bans in my days.

I'm more pissed that I got banned from the thread for replying to troll posts with troll comments, and meanwhile they are still there trolling.

Now I can't ever address this issue ever again according to the rules.

I didn't even get a notification I was reply banned, had to figure thar out by myself.

Haven't taken a ban yet, but def had a post removed and a sternly worded notification lol

Here's why I suggest submitting a PM to them and just not being an ass about it:

A. Moderation of NeoGAF is not by democracy. All decisions with regards to thread closure and movement, permanent and temporary bans, membership, and any other relevant issues are made by the NeoGAF administration alone and are final. That being said, constructive criticisms and suggestions are welcome, provided they are directed to NeoGAF Administration via e-mail, here. Do not dispute administrative policy or action within the forum itself.

Stand tall, walk proud, but understand others will too, and if you're in their house they might be a bit bigger than ya

I am like an onion.

 

[CuNi]

I'm confused.
I wanted to check in on a conversation about the MS ABK Merger that was in another thread since all hell broke loose with the newest tweet about MS comment towards the UK regulators, and it seems to be gone, even from my feed.
Was the thread deleted, or did I quantum leap into a universe where said thread never existed!?

I checked Discord for any gaming threads created. I see one was created but the link goes dead when I click on it. Must have been deleted.

Here's what it shows:
Xbox on Activi/Blizzard Acquisition: "While Sony may not welcome increased competition, it has the ability to adapt and compete"
The UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA)...

Might not be the thread you are talking about. My guess is all merger discussion is funneled into one thread. Fairly often, they just merge the new thread into the mega-thread. You might have to look there to find the discussion points raised.

Yes that thread was nuked/merged.

 

[Thaedolus]

I laid into legal yesterday over concerns of a possible noncompete for a dude I think is right for the job…

I get it, we need to make sure we protect the company, but come on. Let’s go to fucking bat if it comes to that. Messing with someone’s ability to provide is as close to violence as it gets in my opinion, and I think we settled the idea of owning people 160 years ago in this country.

I’m still seething about it. Fucking non competes, suck my dick.

I think you need some self reflection. I've seen you melt down Multiple times in war threads. I remember seeing 10 of your posts on one page alone.

I think you need to rethink what your doing. I've noticed you go to the extremes when people question what you say. You really need to relax a bit and not react so harshly to criticism. As for mod feedback you should take their advice as it usually helps you from getting banned again.

Usually its a perm after a 1 month so I would take this time to reflect on what's happened. If you really want to say with us I would suggest learning from this experience. Its only human to make mistakes but you can learn from them.

Hopefully you come back better and more relaxed.

Not going into lengthy discussion on Derp-Pad but in what way is that like a casino? It's not. The majority caught bans after the January 6th inssurection, though some before. Then the whole klan started closing their accounts. Boy's club? Sounds like the type of thing 'mature' boy did in the treehouse at 13-years old...and these are 30+ year old men.

I'm ignoring further discussion on this matter but I'd love to see someone brave enough to call it what it is: they crapped their pants in anger when their bros got banned, formed an echo-chamber to attempt to defame/imitate GAF and let all the garbage that makes forums suck go unmoderated. That's some casino.

Teezzy D and the Echo Chamber of Sadness.

JK Rowling you have my bow and my axe or whatever.

I can’t actually imagine ever raising my hand in violence to someone, except for defense. And I’m not stupid enough to imagine a scenario where I’m inventing a defense to justify violence.

We settle our differences with words. I was as mad as I’ve been in decades yesterday, and I explained to people why and we settled it. I use hasty and profane language a lot here but If you’re going to excuse violence as a means to resolve something, good riddance.

Given your biases and preferences (we all have them), how can you reliably determine what is and isn't a "troll post"?

Why do you escalate with your own trolling? That's not helping.

What if you respond to a genuine comment with trolling because you mistakenly thought it was a troll? Then it just looks like you are the one trolling.

I don't think it's healthy for you to try to be the trolling police because I don't think you have the demeanor for it. Just relax and play games.

You are a known console warrior that does nothing but try to instigate/provoke others while crying/moaning about anyone critical of the plastic box you tied your entire personality around.

All that matters is the games, not the company or the plastic box. I would suggest you actually *play* games instead of crying about another box on the internet.

 

[Thaedolus]

Wait did I miss the memo and we need to talk about which plastic box goes pew pew harder?

It’s been a week man

I don't see any context for this, but what constitutes defence?

Someone threatens your mother in front of you and calls her some really hateful stuff. Do you use nothing but words when your mother is in tears?
You're walking to meet your 16 year old daughter and she runs up to you crying because a 20 year old lad just slapped her and called her a slag because she didn't give him her number, and he's still stood round the corner. Are you saying you wouldn't do anything but use words? It's not defence after the fact.
You walk in on your best friend fucking your wife. Just words?

Going black and white with it makes no sense, especially when we're just monkeys with upgrades. Protective instincts and emotions like rage don't care about how evolved people pretend they are.

You’re not wrong in that defense can take different forms, but I wont start it. But I will fucking finish it if I need to, especially when it comes to my children.

I’d much rather use words

I respect that. Although, if your best friend was fucking your wife that betrayal would understandably be beyond words for many people.

The legal definition of (self-)defence usually stops when you knock someone down or get the upper hand in any way, but if you fuck with someone's family (that includes dogs) you get what's coming to you.
