What happened to your font?
And no ofcourse you wont get banned.
Most likely CDPR used a tag they thought was just popular but failed to realized it was used for different means. But since people already got tits up over their previous controversy, they assume there is a history here.

Because why assume good faith right. Fool me once, shame on me, Fool me twice, yadadada.
 
*Sees thedrunkenchild's post*

Yeah, I really wish I had some positive news to give you about the ERA administration ever admitting fault but uhh... well... knowing that they are very consistent about how they approach potential missteps is kinda positive in it's own way I guess?

As salty as we all are (Grr! ERA is teh devil!) this thread wouldn't be quite this long if there weren't so many incidents to discuss.

To that note i really ought to push the idea to be more discussion-based rather than complaint-based. This Hecht situation is done more like a discussion than most (including my own) other posts in this thread.
 
Thank you for conversing in a calm, collected manner. I do hope you converse more and share some opinions in other threads. Differences in opinion can lead to great discussions and better understanding for both parties.

Doxxing is a very real issue and this isn't the first time Era have done such, as you most likely know. I doubt they will do anything to Hecht as they are so entrenched in their "fighting the good fight" mentality. Sorry for your removal, but do not threat too much. Era is by no means "one of the most influential gaming forums" and there are far better places to discuss Gaming, Pop Culture, and Political topics on the internet.
Wait one of the staff for old Gaf assisted in Doxxing that employee?

Huh? No I was referring to Era as a whole. They have had issues with doxxing people they feel are "bad". They stay up for long enough until the mods decide to "take it down" and slap the person on the wrist instead of dealing with them in a more serious manner.
 
They are so triggered by term SJW that they will ban you if you use it unironically: https://www.resetera.com/threads/dan-houser-is-thankful-he's-not-releasing-grand-theft-auto-6-in-the-age-of-trump.76737/page-24#post-14157159
Just look at that dogpile, they were probably all tripping over themselves trying to hit that report button.
They're offended, because they literally think they're doing activist work for wanting to "diversify" games.

What they don't understand is that video games are fictional and serve a capitalistic market. All their efforts in making game characters dress up in burkas or change their skin color has zero effect on the lives of real people.

Nothing more pleasurable then dropping into this thread over my morning coffee.

I totally appreciate rules that have zero tolerance for abuse and downright hate. But resetera is a caricature of moderation. Banning people for simply not towing an extreme view is troubling and nothing more than despotism. Constantly watching your back is not a healthy environment.

When will this well balanced Neogaf going to get its numbers back? Do we have any stats on users, is it steadily going up? Any insights? Any plans for advocacy? Or perhaps it's fine the way it is....

I remember him here aswell. I think he also had a kiwi ac or smth.

I do more clearly remember that this user only resides on ERA to troll. Had a few bans, but now perfected his "craft".

No doubt the comment on GAF is also satire. Trying to troll multiple sites at once.
Damn man you know everyone

Just vaguely. I remember him banned and reading something along the lines of going back to ERA and act as a mildly disgruntled fellow and see how long the persona could last.

Its like LARPING for an audience of one: yourself. Kinda sad tbh.
 
More clear evidence that ERA is a site that promotes and practices dangerous, authoritarian approaches to "discussion".

If you're one of the people who posts here and there I would encourage you to request an account deletion. In my mind it is morally wrong to support such a site in any fashion (However, if you disagree with me here and decide to keep your account I will not verbally condemn you repeatedly, dox you, etc.).

Gotta love this one:

African American girl identifies as being caucasian in this thread

Some of the comments:

Hopefully this child (and other minorites in similar circumstances) is able to receive the help that she needs, as this is very unhealthy, to say the least.

Yeah, if I had to guess get five minutes alone with the mom and you will hear some shit.

"I ain't black, I'm Treasure mmkay."
"....Okay."

This is either staged, or she has severe mental illness.

Aren't these the same people that think 5 million different gender indentifications exist but when its about race it all goes out the window? Hypocrites.

Yes telling others what to do is pretty much what is being done there, so thanks for not insisting. I also assume all are welcome here, irrespective of politics as long as they respect others. If I'm off base, I'm open to being told otherwise.
 
Oh the guy who threw a hissy. Not sure what 'conspiracy theories' the child is talking about.
Maybe that poster that is always on about how black people are genetically inferior in terms of intelligence to whites and asians? I'd say that is the most severe thing I have read here, in terms of racism.
*shrug* it's era. Quite a hyperbolic post though. Is that user in Uganda?
No, he is living in a stable democracy, though a right extremist party is pretty strong there for quite a while already.

What the actual fuck? Is this real? They are openly doxxing the leaker in this Smash thread and it I guess doesn't matter to any of the mods?

Sure they blanked out the name on the picture but they said his name and his linked in many times on every other page.

There's not a mass exodus over things like this? Flexible morals and ethics...

I admit to not looking at any links to over there so perhaps I am wrong.

I find it more terrifying that within 48 or so hours it generated 133 pages of content, 50 pages per post, so over 6600 posts.

Either Smash Ultimate is far more popular than even i imagined (And by no means am i underselling it) or tons of people do ERA during work, or they have no work.

Crazy.

One of those replies

That's a known Little Helper. Its also a very ignorant post. Hurr duur straight white people. At the same time its not condescending at all to actively spit on John Bain or to wish any company/person that has the audacity of saying anything as total shitbags.

It never ceazes to amaze me that people like such think you win trans influence by being an aggressive badmouther or just playing it totally ridiculous calling cocksucker something that offends you when someone just lost all his games and was robbed. As if that isn't condescending.

Its funny how 1 year on users on ERA actively embraces this hyperaggressive stance and try to establish it as a valid metric to communicate.

I dunno, like i said before we should move the topic away from complaining about ERA and rather discussing it and later on forfeiting it altogether. Remember even when we are just providing examples of bad things we are still giving them attention that they don't need nor deserve. That's why you have these inane takes - I am sure they know people will pick it up because of its outrageousness.

It's no work because nobody there has a job (other then the devs obviously), and also them just being the most obsessive group of people I've ever seen.

This. I know a number of people from Era in the "real world". Most do not have jobs. The few that do are either part-time only or "artists". They stay holed up inside their rooms most days, skip classes, and whine on the internet.

I see they are all striving to be the next Sakimi-Chan. I understand their plague and I know that they'd never reach anywhere close to that. It's a shame really. That or you mean they are "artists" then i gotchu.
 
I found my old ban. I would have gone out with a bang if I knew I was going to get perma banned for something so innocuous. The mod also spelled "behavior" wrong. What a dummy:

User Banned (Permanent): Racist dog-whistling, trolling, history of similar behaviour.

"I'm sure some people did vote like that, but undoubtedly a lot of people voted for him because they prefer a free market economy over a centrally planned one and they were upset with the PC culture, and preferred individuality over identity based politics. None of those have to do with racism and are reasons people will vote conservative. "

Not talking about the ban itself, but ''behavior'' is perfectly valid. From Google:

Behavior or behaviour: Behavior is the preferred spelling in American English. Behaviour is preferred everywhere else. Other than the spelling, there is no difference between the two words.

Its US English, so if you think its ''dummy'', then you must be from Europe or you weren't aware its one and the same. ;)

Looking at your avatar, dogwhistling is expected behaviour for you.

I'm american, so I guess we have our answer on who banned me (not an american).
