Ban volume was far lower than it is on Reset, and the majority of the moderation abuse was the work of a handful of rogue mods acting against policy and taking measures to avoid detection and pushback from me. When the abuse was uncovered, e.g. with bish, it was dealt with, but by that point we had lost a ton of our old regulars and moderate voices and most of the mods were scared to even participate in the forum anymore because of how hostile the environment had become. Things definitely had tilted in a social justice direction overall post-gamergate, but nowhere near to the extent that the biggest video game of the year couldn't even be discussed. On the gaming forum mostly the Anita Sarkeesian threads were bloodbaths.
The difference is that what you see on Reset isn't rogue moderation or a failure at the top to implement consistent and fair policy throughout the team, as it was here. What you see from Reset is their policy working as intended. There's no one to push back against it and you're never going to get anything else from them other than more and more extreme outcomes.
