One of the latest topics in there are people being anti-democracy for some reason, which is even wilder than I would expect from Resetera, but it is what it is.

Imagine anywhere else in the english speaking internet where you need to start your posts with "Democracy is my preferred mode of governance" because its apparently a hot button issue at the time.

Gotta love the first retard not knowing the difference between "vicious" and "viscous".

I would hope this guy used some sort of anon email and not a uni or school one. Because his data is probably being passed around their antifa discords.

I'm 80% sure that keeping work/uni emails around for that purpose is the single thing they learned from the Beefsoda book of moderation, their TOS goes as far as to use that "legitimate interest!!" bullshit in order to invalidate the GDPR.
But then again it would also be an error of judgement to believe to believe that B-Dubs knows how technology works.

Most websites on the internet (this one included) use IPv6. It costs literally nothing except turning on a switch in the site's proxy and telling the router to use a delegated block provided by the ISP.


People who read books and are not retarded know this and set up a dual-stack because they like their website to be accessible even during ipv4 exhaustion.
Resetera and other sites ran by lesser apes struggle with this concept because:

1. IPv6 scares them.
2. because "NAT is supposed to work as a firewall too!".
3. because they consider IPv4 addresses to be the golden standard in identity recognition and validation.

This last one is by far the most exceptional debating point i have heard from website admins, a lot of them think that unplugging the router for 5 mins is some kind of mystical ritual that isn't practiced by 4chan shitposters when they were 10 years old.
The email-thing is a complete joke as well, my ISP-mail works and they don't give a shit about getting called by some pidor claiming to be an important janny about their customer's shitposting habits.

TL;DR As far as their capacity for malice goes you have to understand that the chimps running the forum don't really have the faculties to use the data they gather.

They are hoping nobody has the cash and the reason to not take them on, in that case. Because as shown with this sites legal issues. All it takes is one motivated sperg. I bet they could prove a case of data mishandling especally when they did phonebook people activly. But there is nobody around to take the case on.
These faggots want to LARP as revolutionary's. Just they have not got the skills, brain power or even the guts to be anything more than a joke.
Take WEWUZKANGS Nepenthe. She is so brain rotted stupid, the whole thread is littered with her greatest hits of nigger brain takes.
She is pathetic and a hoot to laugh at as she claims to be a Black Panther black Supremacist wig wam, but would lose an argument to a wet paper bag.
I secretly hope she believes the Yakub shit that NoI preach. Because

The email-thing is a complete joke as well, my ISP-mail works and they don't give a shit about getting called by some pidor claiming to be an important janny about their customer's shitposting habits.

It is mostly when the site was at the height of its pull with journoscums. They did phonebook a few shitposters with the help of them. Got them thrown out of unis and harassed their workplaces. But as they are waning on real pull now. As you said all they can really do is bitch to an ISP.
There is only handful of them really left who do that sort of shit on the site now. They all post on the same ring of sites. So you can usually suss out their reddit accounts from when they post on r/gcj and then post the same shit they post on ResetEra.
They mostly seem to care about purity spiraling and shit testing onsite now.

The real discussions between Reeeeeee users happens on the discords they have all retreated to. The forum is just there for virtue signalling these days.

How does a video game forum's spin off forum's niche political section have so many palestinains and iranians using illegal (in their shitty countries) VPNs to post about how israel is about to kill them and their friends or destroy their childhood home?

They're more likely to be white LARPers than actual sand niggers.

 

[Team TERF]

I didnt screen shot them, but hundreds of posts were about how israel are nazis, twitter is evil nazis, etc

FYI that Israel/Nazi analogies are supposed to be off limits

Due to historical considerations, the term "Nazi" is not appropriate or acceptable when used in reference to Israel, Israelis, and Jews. This includes comparisons between the Israeli government/IDF and Nazi Germany. You are welcome to criticize Israel in all other ways, but that specific analogy is off-limits, period.

EDIT: AP late and gay, sorry I replied before catching up on the rest of the thread

 

[V-tuber and Resetera Fan]

Holy shit, they're actively purging Iranians literally as Israel is bombing them

the ban screen might be the last thing some of these posters see of their friends before a JDAM hits their apartment block

 

[CEO of Autism]

Seriously, how are there still people left to post on the forum? you even need a bespoke mail to register so it can't be alts alone.

There was a window of time where they dropped the email requirement to pump up member numbers.

 

[V-tuber and Resetera Fan]

I am going through the topic page by page to find new bans on old pages that we didn't post:



















This is former user "Posts Enjoyer", this ban was posted 2 pages ago:




These guys are banned for something else in another topic, any ideas on why?



Edit:

I tracked one down:

That post is too long, so I will make a new one for new bans I found:

One of them was banned for sperging out over people not liking the Switch 2 screen.

 

[Lord of the Large Pants]

Wait, what IS the ResetERA approved view of Israel VS Palestine? Because it seems like they're just banning anyone who expresses support for either side.

... if that's true, it's probably the smartest thing they've ever done.

 

[V-tuber and Resetera Fan]

There's even more Iranians on this website. For a nation that's so thoroughly controlled, and a population that are so oppressed, there's a ton on a video game forum talking about gay rights and rebelling against the government (both of which iran will literally kill or rape you for)

Ask yourself not "Why should I ban someone for this post?" but ask yourself "Why shouldn't I ban someone for posting here?".

More seriously, the ones listed above you made the classic mistake that proximity to the loudest and retarded opinions affords them to luxury of developing opinions of their own.
As much as the mods bloviate about "tell us what you really think, don't be a stranger!" there is a strong destinction between the class of posters that is allowed to post original content (Nep-nep, the loony troons... and not many else), and the majority group that can best be described as "Ruminants" due to their tendency to just keep masticating the same topics ("I believe the most media moment of Disney's™ Marvel™ MCU is..." "If Mario™ and Batman™ were in a cage fight to the death, who would win?").

Now when a poster belonging to the former posts in the latter category (ex. Slayven, Fat4all) nothing really happens. But some people get confused and think this violation can go both ways.

Seriously, how are there still people left to post on the forum? you even need a bespoke mail to register so it can't be alts alone.

"Bespoke" isn't even enough, you're not allowed to sign up from your self-hosted/hostinger email domain either. But it doesn't take away the fact that most ISPs let you make a nearly unlimited amount of aliases, which combined with flushing cookies and rebooting the router (or indeed just turning off wifi on your phone) renders it moot.
It's funny that forums who claim to be the most carefully regulated ones also have barely one week old threads that look like a Gaza housing district, and it gets worse as you scroll back (with the oldest pages looking like a parisian ossuary). While Kiwifarms only has nool popping in to tell us how embedding images is bad for global warming or something.

How is ICE a "secret police" when they're doing all this shit these whiny ass bitches are complaining about in broad daylight?

 

[V-tuber and Resetera Fan]

I think they're too dumb to better describe what they want to describe. Lots of people on both sides are upset with how ICE is currently operating where they just grab and deport people without a trial or hearing. They think that means theyre secret police, but resetera doesnt get what "secret" means.

Citizens have the right to a trial, illegal aliens don't have rights, and many of the ones ICE is scooping up already have deportation orders against them.
