I’ve never played ball with the corporate powers (threatened with blacklisting many times) and have always tried to keep things neutral and pro-indie in the gaming space. Journalists never liked GAF much, either, since we were always critical of how they were mostly huge shills and incompetent at gaming, and so a lot of the gaming press were happy to fan the flames back in 2017.

That’s one of the critical differences between GAF and Reset. Reset fellates certain gaming press personalities from the top down at every opportunity, and they’re more than willing to sell out to corporate industry interests.

we punk rock dawg

Really, EviLore? This site was "always" like that? Come on now. Don't be trying to pull some revisionist history shit on us.

Have you forgotten this, for example?.....


They asked to host an AMA. So what?

Cool. So just to be extra clear I can go into threads where people are saying things that I don't like or that I disagree with and hurl insults at them. I just need to feel like they deserve it. And I will suffer no moderation.

Correct?

Are you touching yourself right now at all the attention you're getting that daddy Ree won't give you? Is it enough for you to run back to your Ree Discord and say to them "HEY! I did good, look I'm a good boy, I fight for justice and rules that are fixed and applied without context. PLEASE, PLEASE accept me into the inner circle so I can finally have a chance of getting to be a Ree Mod. I BEG YOU!!".

You're going to be made to suffer, there's no sweet release of a perm here so you can ascend the ranks of REE as a martyr bravely stepping into enemy territory with only Taysan as back-up to witness the brave and selfless fight for feebly trying to make someone else's community work the way to want it to because it suits you.

Do you feel good now? Swimming in an ocean of attention and just like a child there's no distinction between good and bad attention for you. It's just easier for you to smear shit on the walls and throw a temper tantrum to get that sweet sweet attention you deserve.

Well done soldier.

You can rest.

Now.

Come on now, don't downplay it to be just that. You know exactly what the criticisms were. You essentially sold a NeoGAF poster's post to Kotaku that they published, and retro-actively changed the site's terms and conditions to allow yourself to do it.

You were fine with being in bed with those media outlets when you were profiting from it financially.

I updated the terms of service about copyright licensing to clear up confusion from that point onward after Kotaku reproduced a gaf post with permission. Outlets have done that countless times without permission. It wasn’t about Kotaku, it was about ensuring there would not be further drama about licensing rights to gaf posts. I didn’t make any money from that and I’ve never been in bed with Kotaku, which should be clear enough considering they had a direct hand in the 2017 drama and propping up ResetEra.

Your permission though, not the permission of the guy whose post was being replicated. Right?

For sure, but that's not a defence of that kind of behaviour.

I will take your word on the money thing, but the 2017 drama stemmed from this site going from being a SJW-infested shit-pile, to you being an the receiving end of a #metoo. I don't know for sure, but I doubt someone like Jason Schreier has posted on this site since then, but he was a regular contributor before that. You got hung out to dry by a bunch of people who uncritically believed accusations about you, but before that tipping point, they were fine with you. In fact, Schreier wrote off criticisms of you previous to that as "GamerGate nonsense".

And to be clear, I think you were a victim of being someone who was a target for both sides at varying times. Nothing you actual did warranted the way people treated you. That said, I think you're being disingenuous with your "journalists never liked GAF cos of how critical we were!" stuff.

Oh I wasn't actually going to do it. I just wanted to see if you would actually admit that you allow members to toss insults at each other based on who "deserves it" or not.


I always knew it was the case. I just wanted to be sure.

Pretending that you’re persecuted because the mods won’t ban anyone who posts jabs at you isn’t a good look, big man.

You know, I've been doing some thinking. Nobody_Important Nobody_Important won't clap back at me because I'm a woman. Does he perhaps think I am too fragile to handle criticism? Thinks I can't handle what I dish out? Do you think I am weaker, huh, NI? Can I not be one of the bois and be treated equally here? Is that how you see women? Someone who can't hold their own?


Awfully sexist, don't ya think, Mr. Male Feminist?




So I'll ask again. PLEASE THROW A PUNCH AT ME.

Not asking for bans. I would have just liked a mod to step in and at least stop the personal attacks. And I feel like that isn't asking too much tbh. I just thought Gaf was the kind of forum where members insulting other members was frowned upon. I thought it was a bit more dignified than that.

Are you denying her existence now?
Who? I legitimately have no idea wtf you are talking about right now.

Know what's peak dignity? Having polite conversation with other gaf members, but reporting their posts to try to silently get them banned while you continue those conversations. So many times that your reporting permissions had to be revoked.

Have you checked your testosterone levels lately? Duplicitous ultraweasel behavior may be indicative of low T.

Well, there was your first mistake.

That's like coming with me to my local pub, drinking 10 pints, singing along to "Love On The Rocks" on the jukebox while hammered, then next day saying "I'm disappointed that nobody wanted to engage me in a conversion about Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus".

Yeah and you guys revoked them without actually ever telling me the posts that I were reporting were not violating the rules. So I just went on reporting posts that I thought were in violation of the rules. It wasn't until much later that I realized that Gaf was nowhere near as strict as it used to be before the schism or as strict as some other forums that I have been apart of. And then you took the function away from me without ever actually telling me that you did it. I had to ask around to other members and mods to see what was going on. And once I was finally told when and why it was taken I explained my thought process and apologized for what I had done. But instead of returning the privilege to me (despite it being well over a year since you have taken it and me obviously understanding where I went wrong) you continue to just use it as a bludgeon to make fun of me whenever you want to since you know you can. And the funny thing is that even if you returned it to me it would be utterly useless to me because as you have already demonstrated in here the rules aren't really rules. They are more like guidelines. It just depends on who says what to who. Oh and if the person "deserves it" or not.



You always claim that Gaf is better than Era, but as far as I can tell you are no better than them when it comes to applying your own rules evenly. You play favorites just like them. The only difference is which "team" the favorites play for.

My favourite "fruity cocktail" is a simple combination of ethanol and the tit milk of a female crackhead, which I like to call "Mr. Milkman's Sexy Surprise".
