3 day ban for vocally wishing death upon the president.

30 day ban for saying the wrong word to agree with somebody else's post.

You are a complete resetera sycophant caricature at this point, man. It's sad.

I already said that I would have made that particular ban a week not 3 days. And if you actually read what I said I never said a 30 day ban is the appropriate length. I just said that a ban is to be expected. A week or 2 for dropping the N word is fine with me. A month though given the context? Thats pushing it.

Threats of violence should be permanent bans no matter what. But hey if that's what that forum wants to be then so be it.

In terms of politics if it was my forum I would give the same perma ban if the threat was directed towards Trump or Obama.
 
Modern liberalism has seriously taken a 180 degree turn.

In the 60s and 70s, violence was considered the worst thing ever, and governments needed to give up their nukes and stop polluting the planet.

Now in 2018, everyone is accused of racism or sexism. And the only solution is "punching" them and opening the borders.

Like wtf? All this violence makes Trump look like the peace candidate all along.

And the nuthattery continues.

There's a whole thread on ERA talking about arming minorities. The comments are borderline preppers/ready for civil war.

Minorities should do what they feel is best.

I wish we'd bust back at police more often and kill some of them when they tried to kill us, but I know what'd happen as a result.

Yes. Nazis in the streets, fascists in the government.
https://www.resetera.com/threads/should-minorities-arm-themselves.68621/page-4#post-12677018

Purchases made since Trump's election:

3 9mm handguns
3 AR pattern rifles/pistol
2 AR lowers, and sufficient parts to assemble an additional 2 rifles
1 7.62 NATO precision semiauto rifle
1 .308 bolt action hunting rifle
1 9mm pistol caliber carbine
Level 3 + steel plate armor
Thousands of rounds of ammunition
As many training classes as possible.

I have no intention of not being armed and potentially being a martyr. It's 2018 and Nazis are marching the streets. I am part of the growing armed left.

The gun posts no more crazy that any of the Right wing gun nut 2nd amendment defense posts I have seen on Reddit and here from Scypher. Let me be clear though I strongly disapprove with any form of private gun ownership. I just don't see the difference between that post and the usually insanity that comes from gun owners.

The difference is ERA is a "gaming" forum, yet they've already made threats of killing Trump and the Police.
I would be concerned when they seriously start drinking the Kool-aid and believe every Republican is a Nazi coming to get them.

Its no crazier than Right Wing gun nuts being deathly afraid that all Democrats wanna raid their homes and steal their guns.

Except the current President and major branches of government are Republican.
You're talking about the past. I'm talking about what concerns us right now.

And again, ERA is suppose to be a Gaming Forum. Not an underground outpost.

Why does that left leaning person claiming to be armed and dangerous to fight an imaginary threat make you more concerned than the usual Right Wing people claiming to be armed and dangerous to fight an imaginary threat?


Also he didn't post that in the Gaming section so that last part is kinda pointless.

What imaginary threat? Are you saying Trump doesn't exist?

They outright called for the death of the President. He is the person currently in power, so it's relevant that a forum conspires to harm him.

He is not arming himself to take out the President though? As usual you are going off the rails.


He says its to fight Nazi's. Which to you is an imaginary threat.

Right Wing gun owners say the same shit all the time when they talk about gun ownership and people trying to take their guns. Which is an imaginary threat.


Thats what I meant.

And according to Resetera, all Republicans are Nazis. That's the level of delusion they accept as truth.
 
Yes I am sure literally every member of Era believes that. Good job. You caught them.
When the moderators actively dismiss claims of "black supremacy" but are ok with users calling Trump/Republicans "white nationalist/supremacist/nazi" then they condone a message that paints Republicans as actually being Nazis.

They condone a message that Republicans are a certain way, but as long as they don't overdo it (Death threats, Wishing harm etc etc) yeah its allowed. Just like how the mods here allow people to paint the left or the right certain ways so long as people don't take it too far.



So I am not sure what point you are trying to make here.

You're claiming all these threats are imaginary. I'm saying they're not.
You said they're ready to fight Nazis which I pointed out, they consider Republicans to be one.

It doesn't matter what Neogaf moderators paint people as. We're not making the threats.

A handful of morons on a huge site like Era hardly means the entire userbase is of the same mind.

Violence still happens. My cousins were pretty close with that guy who was an anti-fascist rapper. He was stabbed to death by fascists few years ago because his lyrics were too caustic and this made news internationally. Murderer had connections to the far right parliament party. Difference is that instead of causing riots, they urged everyone to keep calm and express themselves by peacefull protests and voting. My cousin even spoke to national radio and TV stations

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Pavlos_Fyssas

This is were Resetera has lost it.
 
So, you see why I disagree with Reseterans coming back here? Because they won't abandon their old habbits, and most that are here, will continue to shill for that place.

I didn't "come back". I never left. I lurked here for years. I only made an account recently.

Check out some of the recent GAF bans. They've definitely been trying to get back and spread their poison.

This is why this thread exists. Don't ever let Resetera promote the idea they're the beacon of progressiveness and it's everyone else who are nazis.

They get upset when we expose their murder fantasies of Trump, engaging in anti-white rheortic, and psycho feminist rants who literally believe "pixels" are out to get them.
 
They get upset

That is a bit of a stretch. I'm a member here and even I barely pop in this thread. Pretty sure 99% of Era doesn't even know this thread exists let alone cares what is "exposed" in it or care enough to get "upset" about it. Not everyone stalks Gaf like you all stalk Era. Most of the people who left probably couldn't care less what you guys do here anymore. In fact I have never once heard his thread mentioned on Era I think.

The guy isn't shilling for Era.

Did you see the thread about the presidential alert system, or whatever it's called? It was full of people imagining how Trump would use it to text them "MAGA" and stuff like that, even though he wasn't even the one to institute the system and the news really has nothing to do with him. It's a learned response at this point, and people just egg each other on and make it stronger over time.

Now tbh, this thread is similar, because while it has "discussion" in the title, it's really about reinforcing one particular perspective on Era. Just because Nobody_Important Nobody_Important doesn't share it, or doesn't share it to the same extent, doesn't mean he's a shill. If you want to be better than they, then at least try to be a bit more open to differing opinions.

It's not liberalism. Liberal-authoritarian and left-right are orthogonal to each other.

As far as I can tell, the right wingers want guns for defense whereas these paranoid Reeeeeers want it for some kind of proactive, anti-police, anti-government offense.
 
Yes I am sure literally every member of Era believes that. Good job. You caught them.

If they aren't banning people for calling all republicans nazis and making death threats against Trump, it's a safe bet that those views are sanctioned by the site owners. Carry on with your sycophantic handwaving though.

Because mentioning GAF is like mentioning Voldemort and they will ban you for it 😂

Come on dude, can you be a bit less transparent?

The left have become so "progressive" they are a victim of their own politics and the PC culture they curated. They have let in a ton of regressive wolves in the name of "open arms for all/strength in numbers/enemy of my enemy is my friend". Now they are afraid to speak out against that, like you see in this very thread, because they do not want to be viewed as "not progressive enough" (it was what we call hive mind/echo chamber), got to maintain the PPW badges of honor, yo! The party is literally flagellant now with all the "fuck the police" and "every Trump voter is a Nazi" rhetoric.

You'd get banned if you mentioned neofag, some sub-reddits or kiwifarms on here a year ago. Most users knew about it but you could never bring up the elephant in the room.
Those mods now run Reee.
Of course you can't bring light to the negativity of the holy ground.

Okay now you guys are being ridiculous lol

Of course dropping the N word if you are white I gonna get you a ban. I can't even believe you are pretending to be surprised by this fact.
I think in this context, ''Mah Nicca'' is more a statement of agreement rather than a racist remark. And certainly not uncommon around the web.

They did knew that he was white from an earlier post though, but i don't see the relevancy here. In this case, context matters, but i reckon that The Names have troubles with that and therefore took a swing with the hammer. It is what happens when you don't properly read a post nor recognize intent.

This user's intent was not to be racist. This user's intent was to be in agreement with the user.

What imaginary threat? Are you saying Trump doesn't exist?

Good thing you pop this picture up again, as i did ask Alex. I will PM you with his answer on a later time. :)

I think what most (and yes, including me) makes the kind of posting of Nobody and perhaps Yoshi aswell grind most people's gears is because they don't reject ERA in complete absolutes. I do think there is something to be said for that since taking ERA as a whole in general is what entices mob mentalities. Not everyone is an apologist there, so neither should the aforementioned users.

That being said, i don't share the notion that every ban mentioned gets a defence in favor of The Names. At this point, some things are as clear as night and day and one of those is that The Names nearly always assume bad intent on any post out there. To retroactively attempt to nuance or defend this is something ill heavily disagree with, because at this stage, i feel its attempting to claim a pyrrus victory. An individual ban might be correct, but that does not change the fact that in general the negative image that is maintained by The Names is by their own doing.

It's more confusion for my part.
Of course the users are different as we all are. But what is an absolute are the rules on said forum.

You choose the forum your interested in and check the rules. If your happy with that then you start posting for what ever reason.

Reees rules are so fast and loose, I don't know how anybody keeps up with it. You're also very limited to what you can say and generally can only stay in one scope of thinking.
Now if your not a complete shut in with ideas of grandeur, why would you bother posting on said forum.
That's why I think people tend to believe they are all off the same block.

For my point at least, it's just something to just point and laugh at. I can't really see any winners or losers in the context of forum wars.
I have nothing against users here or on Reee. If effects start happening IRL then I have a problem.
I certainly don't go about my life talking about crap I read on forums. People would just stair at me like I spat on their shoe.
Generally it's a morbid fascination of working out if exceptional Reee users actually believe these things or are they just toeing the line for something to do.

It is funny that RE allows to casually talk about video games, entertainment etc yet you are supposedly to know and apply by heart gender studies theories, as if you were writing a diploma.

I decided to post at Resetera (and would still be doing, if I could) because:
1. There are a lot of great people there.
2. In principle I like that it is not wild west like other social media. I have said enough about where I think moderation would be well advised to be stricter or more lenient, but the core idea of prohibiting hatespeech to ensure every member feels welcome and can discuss on an even levelis a good one and I feel it is at the core of the idea behind Resetera. The execution is (significantly) less than perfect, from my perspective, but the idea is fine.
3. It is a very active games forum where all the latest news get posted immediately.
4. Niche interests like mine can be discussed there, because of the huge user base, without resorting specifically to a niche forum with all the issues that entails (tunnel vision, overboarding hype cycles, going from too uncritical to downright hateful and back).

Hate speech codes are the most idiotic invention of the last century, especially since the people tasked with enforcing them are typically the ones that see themselves as the biggest victims of hate speech. Without exception, it inevitably ends up in a death spiral as everyone races to the bottom of the victim pile. I will never understand why you continue to defend Ree as though the moderators are simply good people with good intentions who have been led slightly astray. It's an authoritarian hellhole of a website and you are the victim of their delusional dictatorial fantasies.
 
We won't ban you for saying cunt. You are Australian. That's a bigger crime. But also a bigger punishment ;)

Some people love to be governed. I can't wrap my head around why you would want to be by some of society's most insane.

That's how Rome fell, drinking too much of that lead in the water and wine pushed those loons in charge off an even deeper end. ;)

Because of repeatedly being too nitpicky on minority issues is the ban reason. Specific posting: https://www.resetera.com/threads/eras-woman-problem-read-op.57534/page-37#post-10762158
