Why do you need to ignore 565 threads? Its not like most of them will ever be bumped or make it back to the front page.

I wonder how many people just put nep and other retard mods on ignore?

Also, how does that work when sometimes they just ban you for refusing to reply to people in a thread? I've seen people get banned for making a post and not replying to call outs. Not even for a driveby, but just refusing to respond to critics.

Mods can’t be ignored as that would be jannycide. The thread about that was where that famous FinaleFireworker post crying about how hard jannying is came from.

Why can't we "ignore" mods as we can other users?

Last note: mods should be paid. They’re putting in labor for a site with high traffic and should be compensated for it. Time for Era to unionize

Why are they saying they're being asked "to die for this company"? Is there some reason they can't get vaccinated? Is there some reason the part in the e-mail saying they can negotiate working from home doesn't apply to them?

They're Branch Covidians. They're all fully vaccinated (and boosted, and socially distanced, and double masked), but they won't be happy unless everyone else is fully vaccinated, boosted, socially distanced, and double masked. These are the people that insist that a bunch of strangers having a party at their house puts everyone in the world in danger, because "what if one of them catches the virus and it MUTATES?" See any recent XKCD strip for more examples.

so they started handing out more silly bans in the Will Smith topic and then immediately closed it when the popular posters started getting called out for being retarded faggots, conveniently when news that the academy is actually taking action against Smith and the Williams sisters father came out against Smith.

It seems that if you aren't absolutely up to date on proper targets and what side to be on, it would be completely impossible to parse how not to get banned on restarea. They chimp out about things they applaud any other day of the week, and circle the wagons around behavior that they admonish.

The only winning move is to not play at all, it seems. Maybe that's just my outsider's perspective of seeing ResetEra as a bunch of socially stunted faggots.

Can't wait for the Swedes to finally figure out how to properly monetize their booby prize of a web forum.

The proper way to monetize it is as aggressively as possible. Put every tracker, virus and miner that will give you good money on it and tell them using antivirus is a ban-able offence.
Nowhere else wants them, the infighting is too manifest for anyone to even corral the sheep into a new pen like Cerium did, every offshoot has failed. They have nothing else in their life and they'll always justify supporting it because they think their posts are activism

If you've got an Android you can install AdAway via APK or f-droid. It'll be a VPN if you're unrooted or system solution (idk) if you are rooted. I've got that plus Vivaldi Adblock and I've never seen an ad on that site since 2017. It also block Twitch ads flawlessly, because nowhere near enough people (use and) root Android and with AdAway for it to pop-up on their radar.

These are people who purposefully turn off adblocker on desktop to give rich people more money though. Some of them still think if they give a corporation more money, they will suddenly decide to start paying the jannies.

iirc from the cyberpunk shit with the staff posts, you cant put mods on ignore

Can't put the jannies on ignore but what you can do is signup to the Farms and make fun of the jannies. They all F5 this topic on the daily to see what is said about them.

Resetera jannies have no power here

Having a dream about being banned on ResetEra? This is experiential, but the times I dreamed of weird stuff followed (1) an extreme fear of something or (2) something I consumed nonstop (i.e. playing one video game 16 hours 7 days a week). Why am I saying this? Well if you've been looking at the keffals thread, you should know...

The continued challenges I face in ordering fast food with "just mustard."

I am a man who eats mustard. I am not opposed to ketchup, which I will pair selectively as an appropriate accompaniment. But on a sandwich I am not much for ketchup and prefer the zest and flavor of its proud yellow cousin. As a frequent patron of the fast food burger, I have grown accustomed...

Is this the guy who had a whole saga where his fursona was essentially "headless man with a suit" and got really emotionally devastated when some random artist made art similar to this vision of himself?

Yeah, if you aren't logged into an account, the phone/mobile version of the forum features video ads that take up half the screen.....and if you try to click the X to close them down you'll inevitably fuck up and be taken to the advertiser's website. I wasn't really interested in creating another account, but at this point I probably ought to.....just so I can sidestep their incredibly invasive ads.

It's funny. Some poster had the wherewithal to ask, "So we won't get banned if we say we disagree with Will Smith's actions?"

A bunch of idiots dogpiled him and said "Didn't you read the staff post, idiot? They think his actions are bad too!"

Then a day later the jannies just decide to start banning anyone who got upset that Will Smith slapped someone who joked about his wife. I'm still struggling to figure out how "Will Smith made a fool out of himself" is even remotely considered a dogwhistle.
