Nobody has hurt my opinion of trans individuals worse than Excel. I've never spoken to her but the countless fights she has initiated with potential allies is just disheartening.
I'm more disturbed by the poster they were replying to.Even the mods there seem to acknowledge Resetera exists as an Account Banning factory.

"Oh the usual.ExecutingBanning anyone who opposes the hivemind."
Blam, what do you think about this whole GOG situation?
I have to say these policies are very reasonable and would be the basis for a pretty good moderation standard though. I have to say though, that in my three warnings I have received, I never got a PM about it.
I feel this is still reasonable, because individual situations may not fall that clearly in line with the suggested stuff and sometimes added severity even on a first offense may call for stricter measures. It of course depends on how it is meant, specifically, but in principle, to say that these examples are not exhaustive and it is permissible, within reason, to issue stricter or less strict moderation actions depending on surrounding details and execution is fine. I am pretty sure that NeoGAF will also have a bit of leeway in the moderator actions, because you cannot properly cover all situations by your examples and categories.
It certainly depends on your interpretation, but moderation is hardly a hard science and is very much a matter of personal judgement, so it is fitting to make such rules a guideline. This does not excuse wild west banning without any regard for the guidelines, but there are some hard stops in there, e.g. that a normal moderator shall not issue any ban beyond one week on his own discretion. This ensures that the guidelines are not overextended on a moderator's own volition. However, if mod captains or admins then go overboard and love to hand out the perm hammer for things that are merely mild offenses per the guidelines, that is a different issue.
More people on that site should take his advice. Stick to your shitty indie games and leave everybody else alone.When you REEEE so hard you're about to give yourself an aneurysm

Indeed, they are becoming the cancer of creativeness, and something that needs to be erradicated ASAP.I cannot believe this! Resetera has doxxed Cyberpunk!!
That site really needs to be shut down! I usually would want to keep that site around for humor, but this time, I can't stand it anymore!!

Nah, ignorance is bliss. The Xbox One 6-month-trainwreck (from Orth to the actual release) took place only a few years ago and there were users feebly clinging to the brand. (this is not meant to be an inditement of the current Xbox brand or the current company).

I am one of those who protested a lot because of the DRM stuff but still bought an Xbox One early. Microsoft threw out the idiots who most strongly associated with this consumer-hating stuff (Orth, Mattrick) and changed the policy to an acceptable one. I am mad they tried to pull that stunt, but after they reversed it I think it is fair to buy the product that now has acceptable policies behind it. Afterall, we want companies to change bad policies, so if we continue to punish them for the bad policies even if they are retracted, how can we expect them to?

Let me point out F Funyarinpa 's great response to one guy: https://www.resetera.com/posts/14086419/
He didn't delete shit beacuse he either didn't have an account, or he didn't want lose his games.When you REEEE so hard you're about to give yourself an aneurysm
https://www.resetera.com/posts/14128739/
He probably downloaded all his GoG games before "deleting" his account, they're DRM free either way....
This is sensible. I'm merely drawing the comparison to point out that all people carry the tendency to stick to a brand (or a website, or a religion, or a political party, or a whatever)
Yeah, I don't believe in labelling the whole community just because the mods and an active minority are acting that way. I do not believe we should stoop to "guilty by association" and assume the people remaining on ERA are either blind or complicit.
Wait. So they doxxed CDP twice now? And this time it wasn't just a normal user?I cannot believe this! Resetera has doxxed Cyberpunk!!

If that's how the administration acts what can you expect from the members?
Yeah that was quite a meltdown. At least one person account-suicided
Nice to see the NPC programming at work
That thread is a very frustrating read.
The more interesting thing is that GTA6 will not come for six more years.
People should know that Alimnassor is a known troll who has been banned a few times already for his takes, often against ERA aswell. Imagine having a bizarre take and then someone taking LSD and asking to form an opinion on the subject of your choosing. Those are his takes. Just that little extra WTFery. There is no way this isn't intentional at this point.
Ian Miles Cheong insists that The Names doxxed along with the user (I should show you the picture) but if one reads clearly, The Names (Hecht, i am just going to call it publically, in ERA's eyes that's doxxing too heh) are just liking tweets from a Tweeter who did doxx and suggest Hecht found out earlier than (I believe GOG, not CDPR) although its usually public info (Its just scummy, not doxxing) and sarcastically applying for the now vacant job of Social Media Manager at CDPR.
However
Bill O'Rights
sometimes big gaming community things like the CDPR/GOG talk sees crossover communications with Reset. How are we ought to deal with that? It is unavoidable to mention them when part of the publicity is generated by their incredible overreactions and advocacy for the greater good (Which in reality means getting upset over damn tweets and if you aren't towing the line you are just a dummy and banned)This is what i was going to do but now i can re-use this safely. Thanks. I linked to Hecht's CDPR talk which is in line with this stuff. Apparently Hecht didn't doxx anyone, but stuff is flying fast.Hello everybody, I come from ResetEra, I normally don't post here, mostly because I don't personally agree with positions and attitudes from a lot of users and sometimes staff decisions but I've discovered something extremely troubling about one of the admins of ResetEra, Hecht, and since I've been permabanned from that site(ironically enough the same day I notified the mods about this and was waiting for their response) for concern trolling(fair to say I don't agree with the way my words and intentions were interpreted at all, take a look if you're interested: #556 and #567) I don't have anywhere else to really post this at this point, and I firmly believe this is something that NEEDS to reach as many resetera users as possible because i truly believe this is a fundamental issue about leadership over there.
Ok let's begin:
Everyone is familiar with the GOG tweet scandal by now. As the discussion progressed, some users were posting identifiable information about the person behind the infamous tweet. Of course(and thankfully) doxxing is heavily moderated on ResetEra and everything was removed. There are also multiple mod posts about refraining from releasing or endorsing the doxxing of this person. Here's the mod post detailing the forum's strong stance on releasing personal information of this person:
At the same on twitter someone started posting a twitter thread with identifiable information about the GOG PR person, and in the final tweet he thanked Hecht for providing this information, this final tweet was liked by Hecht.
This is the whole thread. Sorry for all the censoring and all that, I would post the archive link, since I've saved this as soon as I saw it, but it contains doxxing information and I won't post it, but I have provided the archive to the mods and they told me that I could post information about it here and they can hopefully confirm that i'm not pulling this out of my ass.
Interesting thing to note: both the person that posted the thread and Hecht have their personal twitters set to private at the time i'm writing this. I'm not sure if that's related to this or not, but looking at the whole timeline and the timing of this I felt the need to point that out.
-The reason why this is troubling is because not only doxxing in general is abhorrent, but seeing on of the admins of one of the most influential gaming forums approve of such behaviour at the very least and also going out of their way to personally provide identifying information that lead to that doxxing at the very worst, is absolutely unacceptable and I just felt the need to bring this thing to light because i haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else.-
All I ask for is for someone at the top of the resetera management acknowledging this, and at least explain this behaviour and possible apologise for it and I haven't seen that so far.
Yes technically Hecht wasn't the person directly doxxing the GOG manager but his like on that tweet specifically mentioning him reeks of endorsement and approval of abhorrent behaviour and I just had to point that out, especially because of his rules-making position of power on the site.

Yeah, when i saw Ian's tweets i read them correctly and he was just blowning it up as technically it can't be said that Hecht doxxed people, despite the anonymous doxxer saying so. He certainly endorsed it though and the whole sarcastic act on the position of CDPR and calling them shitheads.
