What is remarkable is that they manage to maintain the same moderation practices even after full turnover.
Nah thats easy.
Promote any of their most radical posters, feed their inner facists with the newly gained power and bingo.

That looks like a drama that could be called "Proceedings of the Politburo".
Or even the CCP, Xi Jinping is eternal but everyone else gets purged regularly. It's how you can maintain absolute control and power, by keeping everyone in a constant state of fear they'll be the next to be purged. This is a trick that Chairman Xi learned from Stalin himself.

on top of that you have the high profile mod flameouts like Finale Fireworker or Professor Beef who got cancelled for posting a mocking Simpsons gif in a suicide related thread.

I would assume being a mod or admin there is a very draining hobby with little upside (no pay, no praise, just kicks out of banning and warning people) and a big personal downside of attracting the hate of the mob, like what happened to SweetNicole and BronsonLee who had her/his/their entire account nuked. The hate they received seemed to spill outside the site even.

You're missing some people like Morrigan and Brazil, OG mods and they're still around. You're also forgetting Kristoffer (conservative mod that was eventually banned) and probably a few others.

Either way, the turnover rate is kind of ridiculous.

Edit: lol, and who could forget Royalan and Slayven. I took a look at the current list and they have A LOT of mods, few of which have been mods since the beginning.

Slayven being a mod is actually hilarious. At least the other morons’ posts aren’t consistently just yikes-tier one-liners.

Thanks for the detailed update, it really puts things in perspective.

I remember the whole fiasco with Professor Beef and the backlash he got about posting that Simpson’s gif about Etika, what was the issue with Finale Fireworker? Always rolled my eyes seeing him post an official mod communication with that stupid avatar of someone with his hands crossed. He was like the Barney Fife of Resetera.

I kind of feel bad for a lot of the people in that thread.

So many of them clearly aren't happy there, but are convinced we're a bunch of far right bigots, despite the fact that we're way more chilled out and welcoming.

Still, I know it took me months even after being banned there to consider that maybe their massively dumb echochamber might be wrong and that it'd be worth coming back here to see for myself, and weeks before I felt comfortable posting again, so maybe in time some of the more sane ones will be able to break free.

I posted a "reach out". Probably get me banned, but maybe anyone still active over there can pop in and say hey.

Fact is, there probably are a ton of people here that believe something I'd be uncomfortable with believing - for myself I'd call it bigotry or sexist or whatever - but the fact than I can talk with them, disagree, agree, maybe find new standpoints to views things, get challenged on things I think and take for grantedb or just straight call out people on their bullshit and we both live to do it again another day...

I'd rather disagree in good company, and maybe there's some people on ERA still who feel that way too.

Hasn’t there been basically full turnover of the mod team since the place started? It was touched on in the last thread but I can’t find the thread.
I remember seeing one mods post this when Etika said he was gonna commit suicide
Funny enough he only got a ban AFTER he did it. Before it was okay and they have the nerve to say they left this site because of the person in charge.

Edit: Nvm, can't get it to show up.

ResetERA have shown their true colors and worth during the Etika, Alec Holowka and the "ERA Discord pedophile incident"... You can say about 4chan what you want but that place is far more reasonable and capable of varied discussion than ERA ever was (and will be).

They consider anywhere outside the Ree bubble to be an "Alt right shithole", anyone going against the groupthink will be mass reported and banned.

Saw you posting on that sad thread over there. You should mention that now we can do this Super Famicom Super Famicom . They might as well just shut the site down over there.

Wait, all those were mods from the beginning? I could have swore Planetsmasher only became a mod later, but I might be misremembering.

Also, am I losing my mind or did Jasec not nuke his account? I just checked and it's still there.

Professor Beef was the Etika Willie GIF culprit.

I don’t really side with his politics, but Cheesemeister was usually a pretty solid gaming-side poster on oldGAF. I had no idea he was a mod on RE. And it was definitely short-lived...he only has 47 posts on record, last one from Feb 2018. In that post, he had just closed a thread wherein everyone was mocking televangelist Pat Robertson after he had a stroke, for “...the discussion [being] in poor taste.” I wonder if caught some behind the scenes flack for being a sympathizer or something, or he just saw the direction it was all headed and abandoned ship early on.... in any case, his full departure was wisdom on his part.

All this talk of Restera made me actually go back to pop my head in a few threads to see what's what.

It was pretty banal until I hit the Blackface Cosplay bollocks and holy crap was that a bloodbath if you dared to express the slightest trace of wrong think.
