I just find the idea to be really dated. They're reserving an entire color to make edits or updates.

Yeah because it makes sense and it makes moderation easier for the staff.
Its not worthy of criticism.

Or you could upgrade to software that didn't come from 1991.
The obvious flaw is that anyone could impersonate a mod using this archaic method.

It's not really a software issue, as far as I know they use the same software as NeoGAF. They just wanted moderator posts to reliably stand out by a specific colour, what's so horrid about it? Considering the quick pace of the threads there and the high amount of moderator action, and finally the fact they do not use highlighted mod names (in contrast to GAF), it is a sensible choice I'd say.

Thats not even remotely true and you know that too. All it takes is a literal look at the person's post. Oh there isn't "Moderator" under their name? Oh okay. Then they aren't a mod.
Stop making dumb arguments that you know are easily countered. It makes trying to debate or discuss anything against you embarrassing.

Dude, you just said this part yourself:

So if someone is scrolling quickly they will also check to see if the user is a mod too? Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of mod-locking color coded text?
I added red text for the ayyyy factor.

Moderator actions are also added to other people's posts so JordanN is actually right here. However, that would be one bold move, to impersonate a mod in your post. I envision a permanent ban waiting for anyone that attempts that.

It would be instantly reported and instantly removed. Nobody is gonna be able to pose as a mod long enough to do anything of note. He knows that.

You got evidence of this?
Nobody_Important
“Aww, it’s so...average,” she said to him in a cold brick of passion
You mean other than basic fucking common sense, the ability to read, and eyes?
It literally says "Moderator" under their picture. It would take anyone with eyes to see that someone isn't a moderator and report them. And then anything they had posted under the guise of being a "mod" would be instantly removed. Stop intentionally making stupid arguments please. You do this shit every single time someone calls out your bullshit. You try and turn it into an intentional mess with ridiculous claims and arguments and in order to try to deflect away from your original claims. I don't fall for it. You made a bullshit claim. Now own it.

That's not evidence. There's a difference between saying "it should be like this" and not "it is like this". Don't jump to conclusions, even if you believe something to be obvious.
And calm down.

Okay then humor me with your ridiculous train of thought. Someone on Era makes a post in Red Text posing as a mod. What happens in your mind? How long does the ruse last and how much lasting damage can the impostor actually do before the moderation team does something about it?
I am genuinely all ears. I honestly could use the laugh this morning anyway.

If you show me evidence, I could give you a proper answer.
Once again, jumping to conclusions =/= proof. That line of thinking gets you Michael Avenatti.

It's not nefarious. It is however hilarious that nobody is allowed to use red text because that's reserved for important people.
The sad part is that at least one of them feels like they are genuinely trying to have a conversation.

You guys know Reset Era is just one super fat, white knight, furry pretending to build a community to support his "progressive" views.
He has no arguments, he has no critical thinking skills. He lives in his bubble and posts all day under thousands of names.

That being said, like a lot of things ERA, the staff is inconsistent with this practice. Stuff that is subject to red text regularly isn't put in that colour.
But that kind of criticism shouldn't be exclusive to the usage of red text or not: It should be directed towards the policy in general.
Out of all things you can complain/criticize on ERA, you took red text being exclusively used for staff as your card of surprise?
Next thing we are noting how their buttons look off.
Marcy was only really ever funny in Married With Children. As 3 seperate forum users, they are exactly 1/3 of her character each. So combined they form one Marcy. That isn't funny.
I have to applaud Nobody here (Yes, really) for even attempting a geniune answer. That kind of complaining is really just low key imo.

It’s not just about the colour of the text. It’s about how it’s used a big, aggressive warning sign saying “toe the line, or else“.

We all know how much Reee sucks on so many levels, but the red text is definitely not one of them.,It's just a way to immediately see mod text. Let's not make everything look bad just because is ERA.
Redneckerz

I mean, that's literally the point of red moderator warning text.
Not so much the ''toe the line or else'' talk but that is just policy related, which manifests in their intent of the red text usage.
An attempt to be as pedantic as them will ultimately lead to failure from our ends since we share a notion of empathy and common sense. Most of The Names and Little Helpers do not share these traits, but are usually just stay-in complainers.

While that is true, the quote "members cannot create or enforce thread policy." is exactly that.

Well yes I know that. Dark theme helps a tad, but I find the purple they use to be pretty horrible.

I can't believe you can't even make jokes about stuff without getting banned.
Somebody had to go for that joke though and i'm glad someone made that sacrifice.

What I do not get is how that is an attack on staff. He does not seem to talk with any moderator, he does not even criticise a moderator, he is just talking about regular users and how they treat CDPR topics.While that is true, the quote "members cannot create or enforce thread policy." is exactly that.

^ He literally says "the moderation here seems to be poor".
I'm not giving my personal opinion on that, but I can certainly see how it might be considered an attack.

He is directly responding to a Moderator, one who had a direct hand in the Doxxing of the CDPR employee.
Easier to just silence them for an inane reason than allow them to speak the truth.

Yeah, I’m not saying that red bold text in and of itself is a problem, just pointing out that the way they use it is to enforce groupthink.

The thing that annoys me most about RE is the blatant bullshit that the mods are either complicit with or in on. this thread shows it in a few posts. There are posters there who will straight up imply you're racist if you don't agree with them. They love to use the same lines that the mods use when they issue bans. Then they sling those exact words at each other, like arguing in "bad faith" or being "disingenuous". With zero irony.
It's weird as fuck.
I mean It's weird in general, but also weird that they don't understand the way they argue and push nearly everyone away only hurts them (the extreme left) in the end. It's also weird that they don't even understand that they're extreme. They think calling everyone around them a racist or misogynist or whatever -ist or -ic they've come up with...is a normal thing to do.

Some members might. Others tend to establish criticism with evidence.
I just like to point out that not all of ERA is terrible.
Stick around. Visit other threads and then form your conclusion.

Here's an example where it's right to call out Resetera.
https://www.resetera.com/threads/ur...tor-to-the-rise-of-right-wing-populism.81648/
This thread blames suburbs for creating Nazis, reeeeeeeeeee.
What they don't realize is that Toronto suburbs are actually, NON-WHITE.
But because they see "conservative" they automatically assume it has to be far-right.
Edit: And this map is from 2006. The GTA is even less White than it was 10 years ago.

The "white flight" was from the downtown core to the burbs like Etobicoke and west along the lake.Here's an example where it's right to call out Resetera.

Believe it or not a long time ago, streets like Jarvis and Sherbourne and Victoria were super nice. Now they are junk. Downtown became overran with businesses and social assistance hotspots and bums, so these people bailed. So at that time, "the suburbs" were more like stretching along the lake first, then north. And a lot of those snazzy multimillion dollar homes along the lake are owned by people for generations. They probably built it and bought it 60 years ago for $30,000. Now worth probably $3 million.
The reason why the dark green spots are so apparent is because minorities coming to the GTA can afford homes which are much cheaper than Toronto. And the closer you get to downtown or the lake, the more it costs, which exception of uptown Forest Hill area, and some spots in Richmond Hill or King City now.

Lurker or someone looking for a gotcha that we all stink.
Out of all the topics on the board they always seem to make a “gotcha” post in this thread or a more heated thread on the politics forum as their first post.

I just found one oldbie user who just likes such posts but has not made a post since the exodus. One of the users that got liked also made a gotcha post and has not participated since.Out of all the topics on the board they always seem to make a “gotcha” post in this thread or a more heated thread on the politics forum as their first post.
I assume they are testing the system to see what is allowed and what isn't. Ill continue to engage them in friendly manners, perhaps they are just observing and still undecided to come back.
I don't think its beneficial to respond to anyone looking for a gotcha post with a gotcha post back. If we gradually want to move away from the negative stigma GAF has, then picking apart these people looking for a spark only serves to maintain that negativity, imo.
