I wanted a system where anyone who registered had to be vouched by % of the amount of total members were in on the forum.
How will that work with unknown people? This assumes that the people who will have to vouch for this user will have some background in the user they are going to let in. How will that work for people they don't know?
AFAIK since you mention that its currently only SteamERA people being there, the above feels like a policy designed solely for that group.
The bigger the forum got, the harder it would be to gain access. But I was outvoted.
Could you address my prior questions, Phawx?
So the list of neat things is:
That's what's in now currently. But we keep looking for things that might further improve small QoL stuffs.
All things considered i do find those QoL improvements rather neat, But id still like to hear some more details on the questions i asked prior.
Eh fuck it, I registered on Meta, my username is a shout out to my favorite manlet. It'll be interesting to see who actually goes over there because I have a sneaking suspicion the concept of personal responsibility scares the hell out of the most prolific shit posters and not being able to fuck up every thread and cry "MODS HALP" when called out on their shit will keep them away.
I do like the idea a lot, it's just a matter of whether or not people can handle not being shielded from dissenting opinions.
Well for one you won't have any
Little Helpers anymore that try to bait others into a ban as is apparent over ERA, nor will these users have any
protection because as soon as they would try to perform their shtick the system will counter it and people will report that kind of stuff.
It has potential in theory, but i do feel there is way too much faith placed into assuming
good faith among their peers. I mean, they partially jumped out of the GAF ship and joined ERA in the first place, and i reckon there are users there who left GAF on a pornographical note. Those folks then went to ERA, realized that they don't get what they wanted out of it there aswell, and will join Meta and act
normal.
So whilst MC has potential, and its QoL are things i feel GAF should take a note of, ill look at this for now with
I tried signing up on Metacouncil because why not, and it says my email has been banned lol. More people must hate me than I thought ;_;
Edit: then
I tried to make my password MyPenis and it said it's too short
Reset user calls for the death of 62 million Americans.
At what point do we start calling Resetera a terrorist website? There have been threats against the President, and now threats against Americans.

Try saying similar things towards every trans member on the site or specific users or trans people in general. Then
suddenly its despicable. (Rightfully so, i am just saying that all this terminology is equally terrible.)
But almost 63 million Trump voters? Nah.
As one user put it, People who vote Trump aren't automatically racist scum,
and there is a lot more nuance to it because imagine someone's entire character be devalued purely on your poltical choice.
That ofcourse
does not stop the
Little Helpers from trying to
push the narrative that yes, people who vote Trump are racist scumfucks that need no handholding.
FWIW the user in the latter link (an
Elite Little Helper) even
goes on stalking said user
across multiple posts.
EDIT: But ofcourse, that user providing said
nuance ate a 3 day ban for
''User Banned (3 Days): Junior phase account trolling and antagonizing other members''. But the user directly underneath it, who clearly is more into
antagonizing other members gets nothing.
The level of
protection this sidekick of the number 2 prolific poster gets (And the number 2 itself) is off the charts, even when compared to OldGAF.
This is one of the worst posts I’ve seen on ERA. Absolutely appalling in every way. They will ban people for saying they will buy the Cyberpunk game, then they let stuff like this stand.
Well, its not like the staff ever advocated for equality around their moderation regarding hate speech.
Oh wait, they do.
