So I got banned a while ago from another tech forum for daring to defend James Damore, and got banned and labeled a 'women hater'. So I registered another handle just to discuss Xbox stuff, steered clear of politics. However, they apparently have some automatic daily job that reports to the site admin new users registered using the same IP address as previously banned users. So I get banned again for no reason other than I'm a 'state criminal' for 'crimes against wokeness'.

Fuck them.

Oh and ResetEra can seriously get fucked for demanding I register with my ISP address. No you woke fucks, I am not going to self-doxx and give you the keys to my life for having a different opinion.

 

[oagboghi2]

Banned and registering a new account is considered a no-no in like every forum I've ever seen though. Is that not against the rules?

 

[Durask]

That's why you use a VPN.

 

[LittleBusters]

That's why you use a VPN.

Any recommendations?

 

[Durask]

Any recommendations?

I use Tunnel Bear. It's cheap and made for idiots. Also has a browser plugin so you do not have to run your whole computer through a VPN just click the button in the browser.
Now granted I only use it when I have to use public WiFi and for posting on forums so my needs for a VPN are very basic.

 

[Woo-Fu]

That's why you use a VPN.

I really hope that isn't why somebody uses a VPN. It's hard to imagine somebody that small without holding a picture of Nancy Pelosi in one hand.

 

[eddie4]

Any recommendations?

Private Internet Access.

 

[NecrosaroIII]

According to every youtube video ever, you should use NordVPN.

 

[bitbydeath]

Any recommendations?

Opera has a VPN built into it that you can use for free.

 

[teezzy]

I'd probably just stop posting on forums before resorting to a VPN

It's a nasty habit tbh, even considering quarantine

 

[EverythingsOverrated]

The wokeness has taken hold of tech in a bug way.

I used to visit ars technica daily but I swear every time I go on there now there's some goofy woke shit or orange man bad within the first few stories.

Motherfucker I want to read about GPU performance, not Drumpf

 

[LaughingStock]

I hate woke tech forums.

Left leaning forums are usually heavily moderated banning all dissent. That's why they manage to stay left leaning.
You might avoid sensitive topics to stay under their radar. But eventually you'll say something that'll get you in trouble.

I remember when a mod on another forum emailed someone’s employer in an attempt to get them fired, and admitted to it. That was even before the woke stuff got too bad in wider culture.

Never, ever give these people your information.

I used to go there, the forums are populated by people who give off the vibes of Reee regulars but aged by 20-30 years.
Left because even tech articles became visibly woke, also while I stayed out of politics section I don't want to interact with Reeeee types in any way shape or form.

Yup even for here.

 

[lock2k]

Avoid em like the plague. Simple as that.

 

[Elektro Demon]

Fuck em bro. Don't visit their site.

 

[BigBooper]

Opera has a vpn built into the browser. Not sure how it compares because I've only tried one other and it sucked.

 

[Kazza]

That's a relief, I thought maybe github had gone woke after reading the headline

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

Me and brap were banned from KanyeToThe for not being black enough.

Can I use my VPN for ERA? Could’ve sworn I tried and they saw I was attempting to register by proxy and shut it down.

I’ll have to try again, for trolls and giggles.

 

[bender]

You hate woke forums so much you sign up for additional accounts after being banned.

 

[Mistershine.]

I hate woke.

 

[teezzy]

I woke hate.

 

[JSoup]

Hate woke I.

 

[eot]

Woke, I hate.

Woke, hate I.

Yep. You need to actually think like them or you'll slip up at some point. It's a really sad state of affairs over at ree.

I had 3 accounts total on Era. The final one got banned because I accidentally used it somewhere I had already been banned.

Never going back because looking back, the way they behave is obnoxious (even in the gaming section).

Woke up Mr. Freeman, woke up and smell the ashes.

[and 3 others]

I hate work and wanted to call in today, but like David Carradine, I tightened my belt and I came.

 

[Birdo]

Don't visit Eurogamer Forums. It was worse than Resetera when I was there a year ago. I'm not joking.

The mods shadowban anyone they don't like (Far worse than an outright ban).

 

[rofif]

Internet sucks. You can't even speak your mind in most places. Here it's mostly fine... just no reason to block nudity here. What difference does it make to block boobies

 

[-Minsc-]

This sounds reasonable.

I have a great new forum idea. It's called "Just Tech Forum". Straight and to the point, no BS.

Internet sucks. You can't even speak your mind in most places. Here it's mostly fine... just no reason to block nudity here. What difference does it make to block boobies

For the very same reasons people block boobies in public and every day to day life.

 

[Lupingosei]

They are fun. They create such a monoculture of thought, that something like the Verge PC build is possible.

Or in REEEEEEsetEra tell the EA people, that gamers want woke content.

EuroGamer are a bunch of hypocrites anyway. They always like to boast and brag about diversity, etc, any chance they get, but seem to be stuck constantly hiring White Women. For a "diverse" website they sure do like to avoid hiring black/asian people and claim that the best applicant was always a white woman.

 

[Fbh]

Rule 1 of woke forums is that if someone says something is racist, "problematic" or one of the 300 terms that end with "phobic" the ONLY acceptable response is to go "yeah you are right, fuck this person/thing we need to cancel it ASAP!". Any counter argument or disagreement, even if it's presented in a reasonable, logic and respectful way, will get you labelled as part of the problem and probably banned.

Stay away from those places.

To be fair though, making an second account after being banned will get you re-banned in most forums, woke or not

You cannot both be in a mob and be an individual

 

[Bunker Hosted]

Opera has a VPN built into it that you can use for free.

Just in case you aren't sure; Anything that is free, YOU are the product they are selling. Using a free VPN might be worse than using a free anti-virus (Or anti-virus at all). If you are going to bother why using a VPN, pay the 10~ bucks a month.

Free VPN = Direct connection of your internet traffic, to their servers to scrap any data they can to sell to advertisers.

It reminds me of Easy Allies. A hard-left Youtube gaming channel that champions social justice..... Yet, the entire group is white guys

As long as you don't use master/slave in describing hard drives, I think you're ok.

hate to break it to you but a lot more forums and even gaming platforms do this, including right here on neogaf.

 

[Haribokart]

Honestly OP you sound like a bit of a snowflake mate, stop crying and reregistering to forums you have been banned from and hate

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Pretty much. OP what the fuck are you doing?

 

[luffie]

Nah, woke is fine, and it's actually good, making us a better person. When you say you aren't racist and doesn't stand for human rights abuse, that's wokeness.

The problem you are encountering is "fake" wokeness. That's why you have people advocating for the most stupid menial stuffs, like changing "master and slave" format, which ultimately changes nothing but more hassle to decades of programming.

 

[LittleBusters]

Uh no Neogaf does not require you register with your ISP email.

 

[TheContact]

Uh no Neogaf does not require you register with your ISP email.

it doesn't require it, but it checks it. this is how they can tell when people who are banned re-register with alts. virtually every site you go to, even google, logs your IP address.
(your previous post said IP address but this one says ISP email. neogaf doesn't let you register in with free email accounts, but ISP emails, and other paid emails (hosted exchange etc...) are allowed))
