Support NeoGAF

[EviLore]

Sad part is I know that guy is smart enough not to believe half the shit he posts.

He used to post regular stuff, with a focus on pro-Israel news and so forth. "Alternate sources" rabbit holes will do this to you though. His Covid denial early last year was a turning point.

You seem to be axing alot of the same people who helped carry your forum when it was at its lowest. But hey numbers are up and you don't need them anymore right?

 

[ManofOne]

CA is gone?

Say what? It's bloody politics and conspiracy nuts getting the axe recently. They're not upholding the site. Gamers and a healthy balanced community is what holds things up. Constructive and meaningful posts...not trash. That would be the standard for this forum and pretty much any other.

 

[EviLore]

Change or go backwards?

Forward.

 

[ManofOne]

Can we appeal for CA, for a later time?

Or he's done for good?

I'm sure that past support is appreciated. It always has been. Leeway has also always been given, but never immunity.

Evilore made a reasonable request and if users can't abide by it even after being shown leniency, what's left?

 

[nikolino840]

I don't think Gaf was around in 1973. Maybe as zine or a weekly column in the local tabloids.

Can you imagine Lore in bellbottoms and an afro? I probably could, but I don't think he was born then.

Well this happen when you read only half of the discussion lol sorry

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Crypto threads were entertaining but although had a similar slant to them.

He needed to tone down the National Enquirer kinds of thread titles. And maybe cut down on them.

Him and JordanN are actually harmless, but they just keep recycling the same kinds of messages every day. I don't know how some posters can find so much material and charts about the same topic. JordanN was a master at that. He could dig up endless bar and pie charts all day.

 

[Phunkydiabetic]

He shifted his propaganda posting straight to the Corona thread. Not having it.

It still bums me out that what started out as a great thread for passing on information and general discussion on the pandemic has turned into an anti-vax/anti-mask/conspiracy shit hole of a thread. Any sort of level headed discussion is quickly dogpiled or drowned out.

I really wish they would get a chance to come back though. I think once the pandemic stuff and political theatrics cool down. They should have an opportunity to rejoin. They're really smart and entertaining posters.

 

[EviLore]

When it's clear that someone who isn't abiding by the guidelines update isn't willing to adapt, there's not much else to be done and it's better to part ways.

I dunno, there's plenty of "If you aren't wearing a mask in your own home you are literally killing everyone!" shit in there too.

Wait what did I MSA is Crypto permabanned? I feel like he’s reasonable enough in his cooky way to probably learn from the mistake?

While we’re on appeals I still miss Taysan

That isn't the same thing as all the full on denial, conspiracy theories and condescending stifling of discussion that has gone on there for months now come on. Certainly you aren't that daft. But regardless, this isn't really the place to argue back and forth, there is a hijacked thread right here for that

Mask Efficacy |OT| Wuhan!! Got You All In Check

https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/world/corona-simulator/ @keraj37 Any chance this can get added to the OP? It's a free article that explains why countries are locking things down, in layman's terms. Territories with confirmed cases of COVID-19...

It was for the best, the guy is gonna be pretty busy in a few days.

 

[Slings and Arrows]

Poor Stouffers. Banned for a shit joke.

Will you be banned if you repeat the joke?

 

[Redneckerz]

Wowsers many are sent off to play Skyrim and then take an arrow to the knee there complete with a buggy gameloop included.

Too bad that our political crisis (Cabinet resignation, but on a totally valid thing, i may add) is a mere blip on this scale.

Holy shit.. this place won’t be the same without cryptoadam..

Good thing it will remain the same with you. (I am joking.)

But jah. But i mean the message is quite simply - Don't display angst in politics. Its not here.

Be like me. Talk about planets, scotch, Cunth ''s Oldsmobile or the latest Lego Mindstorms brick set. There are so many topics to simp for - Trust me, politics is not one you want to get addicted to.

Times change.

That is actually, and factually true. I started posting on this at 22.54, and its now *checks time* 22.58.

NeoGAF. Spitting Facts since 2006.

Poor Stouffers. Banned for a shit joke.

Maybe it was literal shit he posted. Even virtual, that leaves off a scent.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Seeing cryptoadam banned. Perhaps a multi month ban for him to cool off? He's active in more than just politics. Or maybe a perm from politics? What you think EviLore ?

Keep it together people! Let a cooler head prevail.

 

[Croatoan]

As a moderate...Guess the axe will come for me soon.

Nah. I'm a moderate. As long as you don't break the TOS you'll be fine. Nobody is on the hunt here. EviLore has said as much.

I am an asshole though...

 

[Mista]

People are asking for it at this point. Can’t feel sorry for anyone :/

 

[OmegaSupreme]

And? So am I on occasion. I let them be an asshole first. Attack the idea and not the person and we'll be fine.

He was banned for talking about shit and it was a bad joke.

[Redneckerz]

Well, then you may get banned.
Pick an hammer, not an axe. Less hurtful.

You better fight for me when my time comes

You’re too nice to be a whiny immature prick like them. So I won’t need to fight for you

 

[EviLore]

Sorry to everyone who’s lost friends on GAF over the past week.

 

[Mista]

Never apologise for trying to make this place under control, brother.

 

[Nikana]

You're my best friend.

Edit: that's a lie. I can't get that up. I'm sorry. But this is your house. Your rules.

Scrap the politics section completely and then we can all be:

 

[Halo is Back]

Quick question. How do I mention another username in my post with the little avatar ?

 

[Shouta]

This entire situation feels like 2016 but with everyone flipped. It'd be a little funny if it weren't sad.

I keep smashing the report button on you but it doesnt work, what kind of ban armor do you have and where can I buy it?

@ then their username. No spaces.

And it was necessary, with due respect to those who were banned and were pretty cool posters outside of the politics forum. That place was turning into an unhealthy echo chamber.

It was also tarnishing neogaf's reputation to outsiders. Considering Evilore's expressed direction of wanting this place to be first and foremost an enjoyable gaming forum, it was out of place to have a very loud niche conspiracy community to stand out so much and dictate so strongly the tone of that forum.

Unfortunately some of them would only
Bother posting in gaming was to bitch about wokeness.

Wait, why did you ban him? He seemed to be pretty respectful

The Russian government under putin does nothing but try to undermine the USA and Europe. Russia today is a state own broadcaster that is nothing more than state propaganda. The article is basically trying to infer that Germany is setting up Covid concentration camps.. come the fuck on.
I like cytro but pushing that for zero reason after being banned from politics was only going to go one way.
if he wasn’t banned from politics he would have made a thread for that and would have got banned anyway.

Yea well I didn't see it because I don't post there anymore. He was a big conspiracy guy so it is was it is. Russia may not be a Communist state but they sure are authoritarian now. What a shame.

The bodies just keep piling up without end!!!!
