All the actual gamers have fucked off now.

still plenty of normies over there

remember what the gaf implosion was like. We haven't seen anything like that yet

 

[GHG]

I really want to know what the ban message is and the reasoning they gave him for the ban.

 

[John2290]

Here's EL's summary

Cheers.

 

[Mochilador]

Holy fuck!! I can't believe this!

That's OK, we can savor it like a fine wine rather than a blow out piss up.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Karak Keeps it clean. Never seen him post anything that could be considered political in any way but that's era for you. He does legit great reviews and his podcast is a good listen as well. Hats off to him.

 

[artsi]

I'd say it's pretty wild if simply having an account and posting to other gaming forums is a bannable offense.

But that's just my opinion, I guess.

 

[Martinski43]

They now have banned Skillup, Angry Joe and ACG. Three of the most fair and unbiased reviewers out there. LMAO

Screenshot sent to the Era mods, expect a 5am visit chud

 

[mepirulo]

I think it's more about the content than posting here. They've just asumed malice in his answers which is quite an overreaction as usual.

 

[danowat]

I always got this vibe from Karak that I can't say I'm particularly surprised myself. Just a throwaway comment here and there in his reviews that make you go . Might just be my bias talking though, I'm really not a fan of his reviews and I won't miss him.

Christ, it boggles my mind that this sort of thing is acceptable on Era.

Why would they need reviewers on a forum that's not about gaming though?

 

[Ionian]

Don't worry, a mod said they're still approving 100's of accounts everyday.

Will all be back to normal soon.

 

[Daffy Duck]

How long have they banned him for?

 

[DeadMansParty]

banning people is like the most pipsqueak thing you can do for criticism or opposing views. It shows you aren't an understanding person and just want to adhere to your hivemind like it's the fucking book 1984.

 

[#Phonepunk#]

I've been trying to find why that guy got banned on ERA. Any chance you got the scoop?

They have decided that “Everyone is welcome“ is hate speech

 

[tioslash]

Why would they need reviewers on a forum that's not about gaming though?

True, true.

 

[mepirulo]

How long have they banned him for?

Permaban I think, they recently asked to report political affiliation of the rest of the users if they support Trump or the alt right and they are always ready to jump over the smallest thing. Simply writing it feels very wrong.

 

[Kayhan]

They really have no way of interacting with users other than banning them have they?

Shhh no discussions, just bans now

 

[John2290]

They have decided that “Everyone is welcome“ is hate speech

Ah, I was assuming he was one of the martyrs with the way people were talking until I someone clipped EvilLores post for me and Karak just got put up against the wall for the firing squad, I suppose coming here at all is treason and they'll find a way to justify a ban.

 

[GHG]

Here come the "I always knew" posts:

CDPR is a transphobic company. It's time we stop making excuses for them.

I couldn't find the statement before, but now I see that it even says "text-only thread" and not even "text-only post". So not only was the limitation of text only thrown out, it was broken by the staff in the second post of the thread. I know I'm just one voice, but I personally find them...

When is B-Dubs going to implement digital armbands on user avatars so we can identify the wrong-thinkers that needs to be re-educated?

May I suggest yellow badges in the shape of a star?

 

[teezzy]

We still love ya Karak

Only video reviews on YT worth paying attention to tbh

....

Did all the new folk leave already?

 

[Ionian]

Yup B-Dubs openly called for it. What a moron.

 

[BeardGawd]

In real life these people are miserable and have absolutely no clout so to be able to ban and dictate to others on a forum is the only thing they have.

 

[nush]

They have decided that “Everyone is welcome“ is hate speech

is though.

 

[DispatchNinja]

Didn’t take long for them to already claim that Karak is a Nazi.

song based on 1984, aka becoming the theme song of era with each passing day.

Liked and subbed. I’ve watched a ton of Karak videos over the years, always find his reviews helpful.

[Neko Mimi Mode]

Wow, can't believe they banned Karak

Can anyone legitimately believe this is a forum for video game discussion any more? What a fucking joke.

For all you Reeee lurkers - I'm a Jew, my grandfather was killed in Auschwitz and you sick fucks equate GAF to Nazis??? Imagine being so unironically anti-Semitic and vile. Your whole forum is a shitstain on the underpants of the internet and is far closer to Stormfront than anything here.

 

[Charles Brandon]

getting a bit silly now

The mods took down the original screenshots ages ago so I don't think these nobheads even know what he did beyond the fact he posted on Gaf.

 

[No Longer Human]

That fucking geek when he got the news someone got banned

 

[danowat]

Era, the epitome of an echo chamber.

 

[TVexperto]

what post did he get banned for?

 

[Dabaus]

Okay, I can't stop staring into the abyss here and have become quite obsessed with ERA since last night, I've noticed two things that keep recurring.

1) "read the fucking room" or a variation of it is the go to way to turn people around from having an actual discussion instead of a one sided thread of people just agreeing with the OP. It often follows a ban of the person who went off script with weak reasoned comments on the banning from the mods.

2) There is a member called Kyuiji that the rest seem to flock around and this member seems to be the focal point of most of the problems on this site. If they wanted to help free up some of the in fighting, banning Kyuuji would be the place to start but I have to assume they are staff as they're getting a free pass on things that users were banned for just a post or a few, prior to them commenting. Either that or they're an industry insider.

3) Bonus, the word Chud when someone is proposed for the firing squad which seems to either be that Kyuuji alt accounting or something the rest of the sheep picked up from Kyuuji. Kind hard to believe as it's such a specific word and always gets thrown at someone who is about to get wiped off of the site.

I also suspect that the mods on ERA, and once modded here when it too was insane, branch out to other places and gaming culture parts of the internet like sub-cultures on Twitter, VGcharts, large sub-reddits etc and actively try and succeed in gaining moderation abilities, popularity or some form of control and they pull the strings in the same way they do there. I can't prove it, it's just a hunch and I could be way off but after being part of those parts of the internet until I gave up on them a few months ago I see exactly what made me leave and come here as a last bastion of sanity, I seen the same shit, the same mannerisms and the way they speak on ERA just amplified. I have to assume they also spend their time on other sites with the intent of being mods, popular and intentionally direct those communities to there ideals and social views and it works. Something is certainly rotten in Denmark and I'd almost, very nearly call conspiracy at some higher level than it just organically happening with a bunch of nerd, power hungry psychos who have too much free time.

Fuck, there is a load of other things i've noticed or suspect and you could write a novel on some individual threads let alone the culture as a whole and someone should, but I can't stare into the abyss to long because I can feel it gazing back. At any rate, if albeit a little infuriating, It's extremely interesting trying to dissect what has happened there and how it all works because there is obviously sane people on that forum and they're the majority but they seem to bend and give in inches at a time as the mods and popular people push and push, it's mirroring modern establishment, leftist politics in places like California, Portland, Canada, Scotland and the UK and exaggerating it to an absurd degree, it's absolutely fascinating. Particularly the last 6 months or so, which seems to be where it went from insanity to something beyond insanity I can't find the words for.

How the fuck did you people who have left that place post there there and not want to jump out a bloody window, it definitely can't have been fun or even close to genuine. It's like watching people escape from North Korea into other countries but at least with them, I can understand it cause they couldn't just close the laptop on their life but to actively seem out that place as an escape from reality or a place to get ideas off, of your chest. Mind boggling.

Fantastic post and i do believe you are correct.

 

[danowat]

what post did he get banned for?

He didn't get banned for a post, he got banned for being a contributing member of NeoGAF.

 

[CharmingCharlie]

So Karak has done absolutely NOTHING to breach any rules or guidelines on Resetera. But because of a few fuckwits in frocks he has been banned for stuff he does outside of Resetera. How the fuck are the mods not looking at this and going "yeah this is a bit too much this". This is fucking insane.

 

[cormack12]

what post did he get banned for?

He didn't get banned for a post. He got banned because someone wrote this and reported him

 

[No Longer Human]

Has anyone brought up the advertising issue?

The site is DRIVING sales of an UNSAFE game! Mods need to make a clear statement and then bow down and beg forgiveness. And it should be in every thread. And if someone is talking about something else, someone should say ''Where's the discussion on trans issues?????''

 

[CheeseSteakEarthQuake]

It keeps getting mentioned here, but what's up with the whole "dude bought a wife" thing I see posted around?

 

[SaiyanRaoh]

Already a long time subscriber. I just joined his Patreon. Dude was cancelled over something they disagreed with. No trial, nothing. I know I keep saying this but fuck Resetera.

 

[Charles Brandon]

what post did he get banned for?

Don't think it was any post in Era that did it. One of the goons over there screenshotted him saying 'no one takes games journalism seriously' on twitter in response to someone slagging off the polygon review. They also screenshotted him posting on Gaf to say he would review the game. That was enough.

 

[cormack12]

It keeps getting mentioned here, but what's up with the whole "dude bought a wife" thing I see posted around?

Dude is in an arranged marriage I think. The 'bought a wife' meme is largely based on assumptions of dowries or being a beneficiary of the father in law I think.

 

[mepirulo]

The "no one who matter does" just under the polygon review and the IT WILL HAPPEN just under the "trans shit" message. They just assumed the worst as usual.

 

[The Evil Midnight Bomber]

And It looks like we’ve got our very first sperg-out for the morning!

Christ! Does anyone here have the slightest clue what this nimrod is on about?

And believe it or not, there’s still another couple of paragraphs!

 

[eot]

Should be @Black Chamber's tag haha

Hah, that was fast EviLore

 

[Kayhan]

Shugga just called Karak a Nazi in the CP2077 OT.

On ResetEra you can apparently accuse people of supporting genocide/mass murder of Jews without any evidence.

Can B-Dubs confirm that this is indeed OK on ResetEra?
