When there’s zero transparency, it tends to be out of sight—>out of mind, until it happens to you directly.
I think the Reee forum is worse than Neogaf ever was, if I may say so.
It's been 7 years since Jack Tretton was charged with murder
You had to be there to appreciate everything that happened. The media was telling us every day how that would be the future and how Sony would undoubtedly follow MS On the night of June 10, at a massive E3 conference in the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena, the head of PlayStation business...www.resetera.com
Laugh my fucking ass off.
This is fucking hilarious. You cannot make any funny threads on that depressing shit hole of a place! The hilarity of that thread, the OP gets a ban for console wars.....hahahahaha haha oh my fucking days.
You utter boring twats, have some fun for once in your pathetic lives.

have some fun for once in your pathetic lives.
That should actually be their tagline. It encapsulates everything about the site. Genius.Fun is problematic.
I think they have many events, the witch hunt after South Koreans this past week was Era's ideas of entertaining and fun. Being complicit in multiple suicides in the past 12 months is their idea of fun. Demeaning users based on the colour of their skin is their idea of fun. They have been busy organising 'fun', the only problem is that it's just fun if you are participating in the Outrage Olympics and mentally ill (banned for abliest rhetoric)I wish it was easy to pull up that screencap of the mods saying "We are working on some fun activities for the forum, its taking a long time to organize"
It never happened. Fun must be scheduled and organized by committee there.
Found it!

Except most resetera threads are not funny and most posters are not comedians. Real comedy ascertains the truth around us, by pointing out personal or societal idiosyncrasies and then relates them to the underlying universal truth. These sorts of threads mostly come across as insecure and petty...www.resetera.com
Comedy is bullying!
You'd get banned for digital blackfaceSpeaking of fun stuff, I love the emoticon reactions and just realized that it wouldn't work on REE, because what are they gonna do.... ban people for spamming on ridiculous notions? They wouldn't be able to handle all the sane but silent people (which if humanity is any indication, always has more of than insane people). Banned for laughing at a sensitive topic.
Naturally this guy is questioning his two month ban for a pretty reasonable post. Spoiler: it ends about as well as you expect.
Moderation on ERA concerning the Tara Reade allegations was a big driving force for me looking elsewhere to spend my time on the internet and ultimately coming back to GAF.
Just another example of stifling any dissenting positions on important political issues.

The poster got banned not just for this one post, but multiple posts where they bring up conspiracy theories about Putin and Russia and media coverage. Regardless of what came out of Tara Reade's credibility much later after this ban occurred, at the time, there was no real reason to cast aspersions on the victim. Using such rhetoric is hostile to victims of sexual assault and it makes it difficult for victims to come forward, and that is why such rhetoric has always been against our guidelines.
Moreover, bumping a thread 2 months later to complain about your ban, especially over a sensitive issue, is completely inappropriate. This is not how members should express concern about their bans. The member had 2 months to email in an appeal and make their case, and never once did that.
We are locking this thread because it's clearly no longer on-topic. We will still be evaluating some of the remaining posts.
Of course whatever you don't like is "right wing". That must be right wing humor. Oh, and HE's the one talking about "insecure or petty"?... on a silly thread? Does he have a mirror? Just saying...Found it!

The fucking gall.
no real reason to cast aspersions on the victim - even though he only mentioned 'myriad inconsistencies', in a story which was then found to be false
completely inappropriate, you should email an appeal which everyone knows will be ignored - and also that defeats the point of what he is doing. He wants a public conversation, not some bullshit behind-closed-doors sweeping under the carpet exercise,assuming he would even get a reply, which he obviously wouldn't.
And they talk about 'fragility'
This thread gonna be funny. Just the concept of these Male feminists insisting the movie was good alone is comedy gold

The insecurity involved here by them mods is pathetic!
"Where not wrong you are!! SHUTUP!!!"
Fucking losers
They have a glass house complex and it is hilarious!yeah nice little threat there at the end
I'd had funnier and more enjoyable experiences getting dumped. Jesus. The only funny one out of that abomination was Leslie Jones (that godawful Oprah joke aside) who was hounded off social media. I remember watching Sunday Brunch when Dan Aykroyd more or less confirming the death of Feig's career. Now that was funny.This thread gonna be funny.

Indulge me for a second,I got banned a few times, asked why at the email address (gmail)
First one was pretty hostile and felt like I was being berated by my mother.
It put a target on my back, never got a reply again. Very Funny as I don't care.
One ban was saying "listen darling". think it was to Excel, no idea but apparently that is offensive to women.
Indulge me for a second,
Imagine a scenario wher one of those clowns walks up to you and says "listen darling" in the real world
Now imagine what you would do to em, I'm hoping you are smiling because in the real world those dumb fucks are wallflowers that nobody pays any mind to
All power fantasy shit as they hide behind a keyboard, it is so obvious
"Taking the piss"It was an off-the-cuff thing as they were saying "fuck and shit" in the thread
Ban didn't bother me, I just laughed.
they were going crazy, I was taking the piss
Someone did it here? I'm kiss them on the cheek. It's normal
"Taking the piss"
Theres where ya fucked up, I have a feeling they are introverts and dont have a clue what that is
Trust me I used to be introverted as fuck and I resented everything and one that had a laugh, but ya know i just grew up and realised that taking the piss out of people and myself was actually fun, that everything didn't have to be serious
But hey, maybe they think they are saving the world or something over there, one comment at a time!
Dude I'm agreeing with ya!I didn't fuck up anything, they were being an asshole. My comment was innocent and also I don't care.
Was just stupid. Person was going HAM in the thread, didn't even know who the were at the time. Was just random.
Be introvert, extrovert , honestly whatever you want. But an asshole is an asshole, that will never change. You don't get a free pass.
I like and respect animals more than I do most people.

I really liked that movie. Never seen the original.How dare you call the Colin Farrel Total Recall crap. He boxes a robot.
That's why you like it. The original is brilliant. Pure Arnie action. Consider this a divorceI really liked that movie. Never seen the original.

Pick a time over the weekend, open a thread and have a watchalong If ye say no then I was joking the whole time. Fuck you guys.We all need to stop discussing Ree for a minute to implore Ryuji Goda to watch Total Recall with Arnie, genuinely one of the finest movies ever made.
Hi mods,I think we should play a game and start appealing random bans at the email address and post any responses here. There's got to be some fucking gold in there when the mods think nobody will see the responses.
Hi mods,
This is catfart69 I'd like to complain about my ban...
You could do it from a burner email as well.
