The banbot must of scrubbed some data....they have been banned twice before (quickly unbanned)

If they were smart, they'd spin off politics to its own sub-section likeEviLore did here. It helps an immense amount.
Now every other thread is some jackhole posting an article promoting or bashing the candidate they like/hate, lather rinse repeat. Thankfully, I guess, they all still maintain the fortitude to jump into ALL these threads and provide us with entertainment. Imagine how boring it'd be if ExceLarry just said "I'll sit this thread out". Yikes.
They did try to create a separate sub section for politics at some point but it went away faster than the time they merged offtopic and communities because the everything is politics crazies threw a tantrum since they wouldn't be able to post about Trump in any part of the forum anymore.

They can’t. Politics are the reason that Ree even exists.

Yes it lasted a whole 4 hours from memory and they had to take the forum offline to undo the changes
Resetera is political/sjw forum pretending to be a gaming forum
Once it implodes around the election time the cancer will once again move onto another forum...my guess is somethingawful.com as it has basically been taken over by angry trans mods and lowtax has adopted the cerrium model of just collecting the cheques so it will be a utopia for them

I used to think they were serious, but after finding out they are supposedly Canadian, I believe they are a troll account.

Misreading a sexual encounter isn't rape, not by any standard way that people want to claim. Coming to the conclusion after the fact that there were things he didn't pick up on in the heat of the moment, when pointed out to him, isn't admitting to rape, only admitting to not reading her behavior correctly in the moment. He believed it was consensual during the encounter.
It boils down to he said/she said. His only crime in D&D terms is failing an Insight check. This is apparently worth dragging him through the mud for.

Getting fired? From Era? That is not a job, not his livelihood. Calling out bdubs is more like saying "hey, remember when you said some terrible shit..." to a friend. If he gets all butthurt and punts you from the group then he ain't your friend.
I dont think the stuff he wrote is bad at all, but then I realize virtually all forum talk is locker room nonsense, not stuff you'd say to a stranger on the street or to your mother. That distinction is lost at era however (if you are not a protected class).
I will stop posting these screenshots. Since i can't edit my posts, maybe a mod can put them in spoiler tags.

I actually don’t mind the occasional screenshot, just when there is so many it is easier to link to the thread and just post some highlights. But keep them coming, it is nice having a laugh while watching some

I can't fight every single battle out there. That's mentally exhausting. Even on Era it can be a bit much and I need to take a break from it.

Does that make me a bit hypocritical? Sure, but it's almost impossible to not be a bit hypocritical in some form. I hate what's going on with climate change yet I use my power hungry computer nearly 24/7 when I'm off and drive hundreds of miles for work every week. :/

You sound like you actually do have the power to think for yourself....why do you honestly still support reee still.??...they really only stand for gender/sjw politics based on who is perceived to be the most oppressed and they really shouldn't be as balls deep in that mantra as they are supposedly a video games forum.
Surely you can see having balance and openness is much better than the opression Olympics that goes on at the borg cube resetera?

I think the majority of posters there are still reasonable and left wing which maches my political sphere of thought. Gaming side is still the best place for video game news and discussion on the web imo.
You guys aren't so bad either though

This thread is a doozy, nine bans on the first page alone. Most are for people respectfu saying there is a time and place to talk about the transgressions of Kobe.
Sometimes I like to just scan the threads over there to read the ban messages, a way to have a little laugh before falling asleep. Looks like I will some bedtime material for the rest of the week.

Lol You guys can be a bit dramatic at times.
Anyways I don't have any duty to do anything as far as B dub is concerned. He hasn't broke any laws.Maybe he said some shitty things in his youth he needs to clarify on, but nothing I need to report to the authorities. That dirty laundry isn't my business.
So you're from Reeesetera?
Question for you ; Why are you all so fucking mental?

This is what I feel happened to me. I had only posted there for two days and my first post defending Sanders got me banned. I'm looking around here and I'm not impressed by the references to clown world and other dog whistles but there's got to be a middle ground that allows for disagreements, debate, and discussion over issues over which people can reasonably disagree in good faith that is between allowing Nazi adjacent bullies to just down out everything else and running the place as a ban happy enforced orthodoxy.
I'm a leftist. I've been targeted for harassment by KF. I don't want those people around but I'm honestly kind of bitter about being banned from resetera for fucking nothing.

Banbot only grabs posts every so often, it also didn't start recording them before a certain date, anything captured since then that predates it is because the thread has been bumped.
The one incelsiorlef ban I know of was like maybe three minutes long. That's way too short for the banbot to catch it. I don't know the timing on the banbot to scan again exactly but it's at least ten minutes or more. (Can be longer when there's technical issues. ResetERA.com has also tried to block it with various tricks, but apparently they don't know how to actually do this as he's said the bot still has a level of access no site should give it.)
It also can't catch any ban not made in a thread. I believe it scrapes for the code that makes those ban banners. That's why it also grabs the STAFF POSTs. The stuff for specific users (VIP/Staff pages) has to be set manually and the guy isn't working on it anymore. Though if you send him crypto he'll probably add a user or whatever.

I think you'll find there's a lot of left-leaning people here as well, it's just that opinions from people on the right are allowed too, unlike some other places. I can't say I've seen anything I'd call 'Nazi adjacent' in th Clown World thread ... unsavoury, perhaps.

Bingo. People are doing it for fun. I personally don't give a fuck what he said, as i am also guilty of shit talking online (and offline), but i'm not trying to be holier than thou and smite all non-believers for their wrong-think.
Could you please remind me what happened the last time someone fished an old GAF post from a (now ex) ERA mod?
And let's be honest, that guy just made a objective statement, he didn't laugh at dying from an STD or dropping n-bombs.
B B-Dubs - come on man, you just logged in to see what we were posting. What do you think about all of this? Surely you changed your ways and are sorry for those comments (as you should be per your world view). Hope you sleep well cause these comments are a ticking time bomb and once you ain't the shining beacon of virtue they will use it against you. And shining so bright will wear you eventually out.
Edit: heh, should have gone through all replies ast yours to see that most of these points have already been raised

I assume the banbot is a manual thing. I am farily certain it has only grabbed about half my warnings / bans.
It is a bit of a difference whether the postings come from a campaign from the outside, where people just try to dig up dirt on Era mods because they hate Era or whether it is used to confirm suspicions of ongoing behaviour from the inside. I do not think he has much to fear from that issue but at the same time it is not too surprising that B-Dubs wants to stay updated on what people dig up about him.

You can have as many (polite) disagreements here as you like, as long as you are not a troll.
But, word to the wise, if you want to be treated normally, you can start by purging yourself of REEE style rhetoric like:
- Dog whistle
- In good faith
- Nazi adjacent
That’s all bullshit invented by people who can’t construct an argument or think for themselves. It won’t get you very far around here.

The term dog whistle just reminds me of when BDS started barking at people in the Jessica Price thread and didn't even catch a ban for that level of trolling/hostility. That thread in general was my first eye opener about REE, really surreal stuff for people to go to bat for a woman that toxic.

I think you would find a majority of this board do actually have left leaning views by definition .....but there are also a lot of people who dont agree with everything on offer and thats from both sides
if you fell into this bucket you would most likely be a target.....Gaf is not like that anymore...the cancer that infested this board was cut out and it formed Reeee
If you have an experience or something to get off your chest people will hear you out here and while not everyone will high five you......we certainly wont turn our backs on someone who has a legitimate story to tell

KF is the internet definition of watching a bushfire and trying to put it out with petrol
they dont take sides they just laugh at stupid...just so happens Ree is full of it
I am curious.
What was/is the nature and extent of the harrassment?
Are these people contacting you directly? How?
Fact is it's quasi impossible not to have either on any forums dabbling into politic topics in current day. Precisely because of what you call "dog whistles" (by definition a sound most people can't hear) and "nazi adjacent" (by definition you can't be both "'adjacent" to a thing and be that thing, so using this term means advocating banning non-nazis people subjectively considered as "adjacent" to them).
If a forum tries to ban what some people will identify as "dog whistles" or "nazi adjacent", the only effect would be to make alt-right types use more subtile "dog whistles", making them look a bit less "nazi adjacent", then the forum has to ban them too, and the story repeats itself endlessly, with more and more innocent being confused with the actual propagandists (as they don't hear, and so use the whistle), up to turning a place into resetera. And it's same in the larger society, look at what happen to the poor people that haven't realised the "new meaning" of the ok sign for example and lost jobs because of that. It's actually the real goal of the alt-right, riling up the left until it behaves totalitarian, and then exploiting all the people pissed by that / turn false positives into new militants.
Resetera style moderation serves the alt-right more than it really threatens it.
Personnally clown world also made me hesitate to join this place as it's such a textbook illustration of the main alt-right tactic as described in innuendo videos etc... (taking ultra extreme examples of "sjw" or sexual minorities activists behavior, making people laugh about them in what may first look like as innocent jokes, and then slowing moving the goal post into assimilating the whole left to them or adding other far right propaganda in the mix - like extreme drama about the immigration in Europe turning our countries into complete hellholes, something that always makes me laugh as a french - climate denialism or references to conspiracy theories) it can only make any non far-right people with some political culture suspicious.
But on the other hand what would be the best to avoid things like clown world existing ? Censoring speech (with affermentionned escalation effect) or actually having "sjw" types and representants of protected groups stop ridiculing the left with regularly insane behavior some in the left then feel forced to defend, even if they mock it in private, just because of their identity. What % of the behaviors mocked in clown world aren't really ridiculous and condemnable even in the interest of the left itself ? Isn't the threat of helping the alt-right discourse actually a chance for the left to actually realize what cuts it from the average people ? Personnally the more I think about it, the more I consider this kind of topic actually usefull, there's a virtue in being mocked when it's desserved, and not only letting this discourse exist but actually listening to it may be the main hope for the left to evolve and one day speaks to the 99% (or the 89-% as there are easily 10% of insane people, including not only the nazis but a worrying quantity in the left, that should be considered lost to science and would be better ignored/fought than catered to, something this kind of thread helps realise).
Anyway even their right to speak (as opposed to what they actually say) should be defended when it's simply speech (not open calls to violence) , as it's impossible to both support free speech without allowing people express point of views you consider disastrously wrong. And there's no democracy without as large possible freedom to speak (I know I'm not in complete agreement with both my country and some part of the modern left on that).
