Yeah you could be right.

The forum does somehow reminds me of Maoistic China, or Cambodia under the Red Khmer. Think differntly from the main ideology and get banned/sent to a camp. It even has bootlickers who would happily report their neighbour to the party leadership.

And the Stinkles ban proves that it doesn't matter how emphatically you carry water for the groupthink even 99% of the time.

They will come for you as well.

Lurkers, enjoy your safe space. Don't get banned for using the wrong adjectives. Everything you did before that is meaningless. Real inclusive and understanding, right?

Stinkles ban is duration pending still. Let their cowardice continue. The Halo Infinite threads will be delicious.

Soon posters will be banned for not speaking 100% word for word from the manifesto. Only posting in gaming? Why didn't you get outraged by the lack of diversity in licenced EA golf games? Racist much.

HALP! NEED MOHR STAFF POSTS!

Technically, this poster was 100% correct. It's simply fucking math. 96 confirmed cases, 6 deaths. 6/96 = 6.25%.

It's not going to stay that way as more cases are found and deaths don't keep up, but it's correct AS OF THAT POSTING.

I'd hate to be forced to rely on that place for anything important.

Facts have shown the Coronavirus has targeted minorities more than cos white straight males. Is the coronavirus racist?

What about Chinese people I hear you say? Somehow Asians get viewed as white in diversity threads but Asian Americans are minorities. Riddle me that Batman

Coronavirus (permanently banned, trolling, account in junior phase, racist actions)

I made a comment on that Mental Health thread about this and it went unnoticed, but I believe it's very possible that "Saturday Guy" actually went through with it after being talked down. Read the 2nd page, he says he's feeling better, then makes a post about reading some Discord/Chat/Twitter threads were Era members basically talked shit about "being too much of a pussy to do it" and that is his last reply on the site on Wednesday at around 8 PM.

Then everyone moves on to Yesterday Guy, even the last fucking post of Saturday Guy's thread is like "Hey look another one over here guys!" and straight up links to it and ends the discussion.

It's mind numbing how they allow these suicide threads to stay open, then expect everyone to just move on with their day. No follow-up by the OP, no mention of them again. Maybe they got better, maybe they actually did it but who will ever know?

Just an update if anyone cares, but I reached out to that guy on Dick Jones Dick Jones suggestion and he replied back today that he's doing better and getting help and was thankful for people reaching out to him.

So this is the post that got Stinkles banned. Annnnnd, I have no idea what I'm reading.

Looks like someone complained he was talking about an angry black woman? I have no idea how to intrepret that.

But forget about that, how will Microsoft react if they found out they hired a racist?!?!? :messenger_fearful: :unsure::ROFLMAO:

He called a lady, who happens to be black, angry. There is no way to convey that fact without being racist according to ResetEra.

Therefore, the white male bosses at ResetEra have decreed that black women cannot be angry.

Surely that is OK.

No, no, no. She can be angry (and that anger would sure as hell be justified living under this oppressive white supremacist misogynistic patriarchal regime where her kind are literally being killed in the streets as we speak), but acknowledging that anger in any way other than to affirm it with a good old "yaaaassss queeeeen, slaaaaay" would be racist, bigoted, misogynistic, and quite possibly transphobic, too (because why not?)!

Still pending? Wow.

You got guys on there banned and duration set in 5 minutes. And his ban needs a referee meeting lasting 24 hrs? lol

Of course. They are surely in a heated debate about whether or not they need to stick to their principles and protect their marginalized posters against his unabashed racism or if they value having an active "insider" more. The mod chat is probably a complete shit show.

Mod 1: I suggest permaban. Principles over industry employees

Mod 2: I suggest no ban. Industry employees over principles

Mod 3: We tell Stinkles give us some Halo info to prop up forum talk or we’ll tell gamers to bomb Halo Infinite and permaban him so he can’t defend the game. Forum traffic over ethics.

I can imagine scenario 3 is what they're after.

Leak Halo/Xbox Series X secrets to us, or you'll never post on our SJW echo chamber again.

Real talk....

What the fuck is their logic in tossing out this ban. You literally banned a dude one month for a fucking opinion on movies?!

Is this what the right side of history looks like. Man, fuck Era. It's opinions on fucking movies...... fictional works.

Seriously, someone defend this... gleen in what rational world this is excusing harassment and so severe of excusing harassment that it merits a month ban?

They legit levied less time for perceived racism by other members and overt threats of physical violence.

So badwrongopinion on a movie > threats of physical violence?

I noticed someone posted my comment pages ago that got me a perma on resetera a few weeks ago.

I am a moderate Republican and said that while I would consider Biden or Mayor Pete, I would definitely vote Trump over Sanders.

I ended up having a civil discussion with some posters for awhile(I ignored replying to the ones calling me a fascist) after that but about an hour later was banned for that original post for "inflammatory support". To be fair, a fair number of posters did question why I received a ban(especially a permanent one) but of course others were like "good job mod, banning that Trump supporting trash"

I was a bit surprised since I had been posting there for a significant time and never received any bans or hell even a warning. However, like I said I was only a bit surprised. The politics discussion over there has largely become a Bernie supporting echo chamber. Even people supporting Warren, Biden, etc, or those who dare to be critical of socialism have received temporary bans.

Ah well, the crazy mod who perma banned me probably did me a favor. The place has become bitter, nasty hellscape, While I never really paid attention to who the Admins and mods were, I did notice the moderation and bans becoming much more harsh and often ridiculous than during the early days of the site.

I just had a good laugh going through that part of the thread and seeing how many people who pounced on you are also banned now (just weeks later). They can't stop eating themselves alive.
 

Another thread about not wanting kids including the classic line

don't wanna bring anybody else on this planet bro we're suffering enough as is

This guy is only 23 though so not massively surprising he's not ready yet. However, multiple posters encourage him to have a vasectomy.

That is just terrible advice. Telling someone who is basically a kid themselves to have a vasectomy, which may not be reversible. Potentially something he may regret for the rest of his life. No bans for that genuinely irresponsible behaviour though.

The ban is overblown, but it is excusing harassment on the basis of "but it was a bad movie!". It's quite dumb to think that certain harassment won't happen even with a great movie, and to justify harassment because you thought a movie sucked.

Jake Lloyd, Ahmed Best, KMT and others didn't deserve the vitriol thrown their way.

Can someone please explain the Stinkles ban to me? I do not see what the racist rhetoric is supposed to be in there - and serious one at that apparently.

Just look at the reply in the thread itself Stinkle ban

"So she is a angry black woman?
Come on dude "
"Criticizing a black woman for being angry and combative is an incredibly bad look. " etc...

I am confused, it is in principle off limits to call a black woman angry / easily provoked? Of course you should not state something like that wholesale about a group of people, but it can be a correct statement about an individual.

I’m old enough to remember a guy named Frank O’Connor who looked exactly like this guy reviewing games on the magazine C+VG in the early 90s, only he had hair at the time. The reviewers were represented with caricatures on the mag, but those were accurate enough that I can recognize the same facial features in this pic of O’Connor. Can anyone tell me if it’s indeed the same person?

Yes, it is the same Frank O'Connor. He first wrote for UK magazines, then moved to the US and wrote for a few, the illfated Ultimate Gamer and the equally illfated Game Buyer relaunch of Game Players, eventually running the Official Xbox Magazine, then from there got hired at 343 and worked his way up from something like community manager to ResetERA.com shitposter.

I am confused why anyone would want such rules. If there was a rule that one cannot criticise me or any member of a group I am part of in a reasonable way of some behaviour, I would feel uncomfortable about this, because people may walk on eggshells around me and not give me the room for growth or to fix issues they have with me (and which could lead to undesirable outcomes for me and others). How is that desirable?

To them, the only ones that should be held accountable for anything or can have their behavior criticized are white men. Sometimes CIS white women if they are supposedly being racist or transphobic.

It’s highly desirable when you have power. And it’s easy to get high on it.

The bans posted in the last couple of pages here should be proof enough that those people are on the best power trip of their life. They’ll find a way to ban you if they have to pretend they can read your mind to do it. But the real reason for most of those bans is they had a grudge against someone or something IRL and decided to ban somebody for a totally innocuous post on an Internet message board to give themselves a dopamine shot, because they don’t have the guts or the energy to stand up to something that’s bothering them IRL. It’s really that simple. This is the behavior of irresponsible people, and of tyrants. This is what the Inquisition did on a much grander scale: you’re guilty - and we don’t even really care to find out what you’re guilty of, because you are anyway.

My previous post was sarcastic, of course. Surely you don’t need an explanation for those bans, because it’s clear as day there isn’t any. This is just Era mods being Era mods, and there’s been plenty of examples of this already.
