1. Allow only gold members to post in politics until 10th feb
2.???
3. Profit

Don’t need to restrict it to gold members but I think it would be a good idea to treat anyone who hasn’t posted since 2017 as a new member and require them to reach the 50 post limit in the main parts of the forum first. Let the likes of NI and Nigerian Prince have their time in the sun. They’ve taken their slings and arrows for the last couple years when it was not easy mode for them and have earned their right to gloat, no matter how obnoxious it is. (This is not an olive branch — I still think you’re both dishonest, weaselly cunts). But any cunt Reeturning to gloat and sneer and lash out at the right wing effigies they’ve created in their minds can fuck off. All they’re doing is riling up regulars and it’s not worth losing good members like Saruhashi, Phonepunk, Zombie and Grib for these rats. These are the same types who shit their pants 3 years ago and left it for everyone else to clean up. They will add nothing to the community and will flee for purpler pastures the minute they appear.

There aren’t many reeeturners posting at the moment in politics and several have been dumped.

Forum is bleeding right leaning posters at the moment and you can already see the quality dropping.

This thread and posts case in point. Note the hate filled one liners. Pure pre-exodus neogaf/resetera:

I agree, it's not worth losing the good members. But January has broken them and many others, including the media on both sides. On one side, Rampant hypocrisy from those who were cheering on riots last year, and the other, people who feel betrayed after putting up with the slander for four years.

I don't know if it was the promise of a new year or because of the election or what, but people are going looney tunes in that forum, and I can't see it improving until after Biden is sworn in and everything settles down.

It was just an idea, a chance for people to reflect before going full Ben Stiller and flushing their accounts down the drain. I mean, we're meant to be adults so this suggestion is mental, but here we are.

Bonus points for slipping the new user name in to your post.

I guess if you’re okay with threads full of low-quality self-congratulatory dunk attempts than actual discussion. Which, judging by your post in that topic, doesn’t seem to be a problem for you.

There’s an option to block entire sub forums, correct? Politics is at the top of a slippery slope right now (and before you laugh at the invocation of that fallacy, just remember how ludicrous everyone thought it was three years ago when Trump said people would be tearing down statues of Lincoln) and if I want to read resetera-caliber political hot takes I’ll just huff glue until I feel like going there instead. But we have a boobs thread and a butt thread here in Off Topic, so I’m understandably torn.

Not every reply needs to be a dissertation breaking down your thought pattern. If you look at the video it's fucking funny. Share your thoughts and move on and if someone replies feel free to engage them.

Just wanted to apologize if I insulted anyone over the last few, if timing had been better, I would never have posted what I posted.

Life isn't always what we want it to be, and I forgot, everyone will ultimately suffer through lows, and tragedies, but instead of being a pain in the butt towards others, we should all try to always be just a decent human being towards each other. We are after all the people living right now, and we, are the ones, creating and evolving our society. We should strive towards making it a better one, for everyone.

Do people really think EviLore EviLore is after conservatives? I'd be gone if that were the case.
If you truly think that then you may aswell request a perm now. Evil might be many things but going after conservatives is not exclusive to him.

Man what an awful day for the community! We've lost some good members to say the least. Stop the madness guys. It's Sunday, just drink a bottle of rum. Then wake up tomorrow hungover and get your asses to work or to school. Forget about Trump or politics for a bit. Life moves forward.

Yeah, that’s fine.

You’re falling for Twitter propaganda - the kind of thing that I thought we are trying to avoid? You can clearly see on the screens that this was prior to Trump’s speech at the rally. This random Twitter account is misrepresenting it as though the Capitol riot was in progress and they were all standing around gleefully watching cops being killed.

To preserve the community, maybe it would be best to hide the politics section for a bit like in 2017. When the heats off and the “impassioned” have mellowed, it can be reopened. I just hate seeing all these folks banned.
Understandable, sacrifices must be made for the greater good.

Cool, then it can be easily dismissed. I didn't fact check it.

Banned from politics for speaking my mind and giving my opinion. Can't respect this and I'm leaving. You and the staff will take this site down with you if you're not careful, me pointing that out shouldn't be a ban from the the politics sections. Good look with the effort, I hope ya'll find the balance before ya hurt the site more so than what your own paranoia is causing right now and in haste. You'll loose respect and users. Best of luck, truly.

Hey guys, let it not go unnoticed that VertigoOA VertigoOA was the guy that said NBA 2K is a more valuable franchise than Mario and Pokemon. That's flat out the most idiotic thing I ever read here, dude's a HOFer.
Considering PKMN is worth more than most videogame IPs combined... it is definitely up there with the dumbest things you can say at a gaming forum. He can't hurt you no more NintendoCHAD.

This is a videogames forum, first and foremost. Just take a chill pill. Evilore knows what he's doing. Just do what I do... The posters here are good guys no matter their ideology. People are more than their political views. I can disagree with everyone and keep it civil. No need to call anyone out of their name. If anyone rubs you THAT badly... Put them on ignore. Your mental health is more important than arguing.

Off-Topic is where all the action is!
 
Why everyone is so obssessed with politics? I just ignore eveything and live happy.
I liked GAF for the whole package. GAF is great because of all the mixed opinions and positions. It's awesome to get pushback and support in threads. It's easy for things to turn into an echo chamber, and so far GAF has been pretty good about allowing all perspectives. This latest move worries me, but I'm not going to burn my account to make a statement.

Also, it's 2021. Everything is political.

Because discussing politics is the last stage of useful living, after learning how to make strawberry pancakes.

It is important. You don't take important things away from people, or they all will be making strawberry pancakes all day.

Not so much discussion on that, really.

It will keep your account though.
Bro, it's crazy how many gaf members have fallen off recently
Maybe they should not jump from places where they do not know where exactly they are going to land and if they will survive the drop. ;)
I don't know what to think
Peanut butter jelly sandwiches. Think about it, now. And make one for yourself.
