What are the comparative plethora of issues with NeoGAF? Most of the feedback is positive these days.
Just like Era most of neogaf is just fine actually. The problems however are centered mainly around the politics section here and the Etc section there. The bias and the favoritism that is shown around certain posters here is no different in my eyes than the same thing that happens over at Era. Certain members are allowed to bend and stretch rules to the breaking point and even beyond with little to no punishment despite the rules that are posted. Insults, dogpiling, racism, bigotry, harassment, and people taking an argument from one thread and continuing it in another thread despite a change in topic. I can't even count how many times I have been called a cunt, retard, disingenuous piece of shit etc etc these past few months . And as far as I know not a single person has been even warned for it. All of these things as I understand it are against the rules of Gaf and on Era as well and yet it happens all the time in both places. And neither place really does much about it. If it gets REALLY out of hand you might have a mod come in and tell people to get back on topic or stop insulting people or maybe even you will pop in and tell certain people to stop derailing threads or whatnot, but that's about it. The rules for better or worse are adjustable it seems rather than concrete. It just depends on who is doing the breaking. Once again I reiterate that this is mainly in the politics section here. I have not really seen this type of behavior or favoritism extended to the gaming section, community section, or off topic. Though to be fair I don't frequent those as much here as I do on Era.


I raised my concerns about this issue about the rules being applied evenly quite awhile ago. So this really isn't anything new from me though.

ResetEra moderation is Stalinism in action. While not perfect, NeoGAF is light-years ahead in that regard and therefore, all in all, superior. Ultimately, ResetEra is their forum. They get to write the rulebook.

But with regard to content, I'd say ResetEra seems to be more up-to-date. They seem to have enlisted more vetted industry professionals, though one could argue that's a mixed bag. Gaming news also tend to pop-up sooner there and be more specialized, more widely discussed.

I can only hope that will eventually change.

post reciepts if yer gonna level those kinds of accusations
Posting from my phone at the moment so I'm having trouble tracking down all the examples I had in mind, but here are a few.

You’re a fake ass punk bitch. Your morals are no better than the rest of us, cunt.
people ripped on your ass because you acted like a troll in a RIP thread. Stop playing stupid you disingenuous pos
What a shock, another thread where NI acts like a disingenuous POS
"Why isn't Trump taking the blame for a disease that originated in a completely different country."

This is why I call you a disingenuous pos NI
No you obtuse cunt, the post you responded to was expanding upon the original point made in the post I quoted. You misconstrued that point so you could soapbox and get your narc feels for the day. Just like you're misconstruing this one.
The WHO fucks up totally. NI response: "give them more money, and don't hold them to account for anything."

Disingenuous POS



I know damn well if I went into a thread calling other members "punk ass bitches" "cunts", or "pieces of shit" that I would at the very least catch a warning for it. But that's the kind of bias I'm talking about.


Because it's me and people don't like me it's considered okay apparently to break the rules. But just so long as it's directed at me. And that is fair no matter how you look at it. The rules should be enforced evenly regardless of who is doing the talking. And that's is where Gaf and Era trip themselves up in my opinion. That's what I mean by both having a plethora of issues.

You want people to be banned for saying what they see? The only reason you are here is because you don't get enough attention there.
It's not the disingenuous part I care about. If people think I am being disingenuous in my views then that's fine. Everyone is entitled to their opinions. It's the "piece of shit" part that I take issue with. Because I know damn well I would not be afforded the same leeway.

One is obsessed with the other. The other couldn’t give a shit what the other thinks. You guess which one is which.

Hey, I remember making peace with you after, admitting that I was out of line for that. and may not have been in that thread. That is more than you would get out of the cult.

no lies detected in those posts, n_i

what about the other accusations in your post, chatsubo dive bar insults fall by the wayside when the target is a snake weasel with a pathological desire to shirk responsibility

I know and I do actually appreciate that believe it or not. And you and I both know that it wasn't the first or the last time that such a post was made against me since I got here regardless of how the interaction ended.


It's not right that the rules against insults like that are applied only some of the time.

You're just talking about human nature. There will always be a degree of favoritism from one party (who may be in a position of some (lol) authority) to another with whom they may have bias or ties of some sort.

Humans have never escaped such issues in any venue, and we likely never will. Expecting the "rules" to be applied evenly across the spectrum is only setting yourself up for frustration, disappointment and disenchantment.

Better to make your peace with human flaws, because you won't escape them wherever you go in life. We're not perfect, so you have to make some allowances for humans to be human while still functioning in life. Don't let others get you down my brother, is what I'm trying to say.

is the content of my character wrong, or is the system out to get me

🤔

The content of my character has nothing to do with the rules of the forum. The same goes for anyone else. Even if I believe someone is acting like a "bitch" or a "cunt" it is still against the rules to voice that opinion. And if I did I deserve to be reported and actioned on for it regardless of who I said it to or what caused me to say it.


That's exactly what I mean about the rules being adjustable rather than concrete on here and Era. Instead of just applying the rules against insults mods seem to take into account who made the insult and who it was made against. And that's not how it should work.

It's weird how I had the same thought and was just about to post when I saw you posted almost exactly what I was thinking. It isn't you personally that is a "piece of shit", Antie, it's how you come across that rubs some people wrong. The slurs are for emphasis and from exasperation, I believe.

The apology was more for my benefit than yours. Didn't feel too bad on your behalf, but mine since I know I'm a better person than that. I felt embarrassed for myself.

Still think you're a weasel. Woof! Woof! :messenger_winking_tongue:

Hey Nepenthe, lets have an update as to how many people got to see you show your racist ass today SO FAR....

Dupwhc9.png

Over 50K Wow, bet your proud of your "Message" reaching so many people. Special thanks to B-Dubs showing what kind of staff he lets be a mod ADMIN on Resetera.

That's more people than the amount of registered accounts on resetera! Except most of those accounts are banned, so it's magnitudes higher.

2020, Resetera stays losing. So, Which one IS better Neogaf or Resetera?

Well, thats not exactly true is it?

One laughs at the other. One doesn't ban you for speaking of the other and its community in a positive way.

One uses the other along with almost any other forum not in political agreement as a boogeymanperson that can only be referenced in a negative way.

No need to guess with it really.

Damn, this nugget got wiped from existence
Just seen that, oh well he was apparently a racist clearly lol

Restera
- Tons of people and content
- Heavily policed. Make sure to conform to moderator rules and views
- Basically China

GAF
- A lot less action
- You can speak you're mind, as long s you don't troll or go overboard with insults
- Smaller democratic country

I've been summoned!

Era is still my answer. For various reasons.

Go into any era thread and mention to them you post on GAF regularly and they will rip you apart, and will try to look for ways to ban you. The difference is we know you post there here and sure we five you shit about you and harass you but mostly it's for shits and giggles. That's the difference between the two sites.

This is the post that pushed me to GAF predominantly. All i had responded was to someone that posted what forums to do visit and I said ERA, Reddit and GAF and I got dog piled.
