NeoGAF & ResetERA - The Hilarious N̶e̶v̶e̶r̶e̶n̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ Splintering "Gaming" Forum Circus

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
I once encountered a whole busload of Chinese tourists in southern California while on vacation myself many years ago. Anybody who unironically says Americans are the worst tourists in the entire world have never seen Chinese tourists.
Seriously, when I went to Italy I was amazed by how many and how awful the Chinese tourists were. They’re just oblivious to social norms. Fortunately I didn’t see them at any of the restaurants or events we attended but they were out in force in the cities. In one cafe they were doing a video shoot and disrupting all the customers, pissing everyone off while the Chinese chick starring in the video was making duck faces holding up her cappucino.

I didn’t see many this year when i travelled to Europe, thankfully.
 
In general, I'm surprised that such a "true believer" was permabanned after only 4 mod interactions with a 2,000+ post history in only a year. You're the kind of user they probably wanted to keep around, despite not being in any inner circles. Then again you whined about migrating off of GameFAQs for catching moderator attention there, so it may just be your personality in general. I will say you made an effort to at least try to talk about video games occasionally, and I like your taste in Mega Man, MMX, and Shining Force.

Thanks for being open about picking your brain, it's helpful.

Yeah, I wound up making bad choices about what I posted in which I've been modded for.

Morrigan seems to constantly violate this "rule":

People get banned on a daily basis for "severe infractions", I'm confused.

tl;dr mild and heavily prefixed criticism of moderation

Disregard this post everyone, poster is a wrongthinker, if you engage with it we will lock the thread.

THEY'RE IGNORING DIRECT ADMINISTRATOR INSTRUCTIONS TO SHUT THE FUCK UP, CHAOS!

In one red fell swoop, they started a fire. And now they're standing at a terrible lose-lose situation:

A) Either admit they really are too fucking harsh with their moderation and that they should be more transparent and open about it while simultaneously being a bit more light handed

or

B) Close the thread and fucking ban everyone and their mother- proving the point of pretty much every post pointing it out. Especially the callout by ListeningGarden.

Can't wait to see their next move.
 
ResetERA's crazy moderation and their "heads I win, tails you lose" decision making reminds of something from the Gulag Archipelago.

At one point, the Soviet Union actually outlawed the death penalty, which did nothing to prevent them from killing people anyway.

They even got called on it at one point when they were about to put a guy to the wall to pose for rifle fire, and the response was:

"This man is not being executed, this man is being shot."
 
Mods had a little private chat with our little wrongthinker, don't you worry. They won't be causing any more trouble in this thread.

Some people did not agree with them handling it this way and spoke out and surprise surprise, the thread was immediately locked. I guess they wanted feedback, as long as this feedback was not too critical of the moderation. Why would anyone ever think that that site is an echochamber?
 
It's extremely transparent that this thread was only opened as a roundabout way for people to thank the mods and give them the asspats they think they deserve.

They wanted shit like "Thank you for making this community for what it is" and "Please don't let the trolls make you feel bad", instead they got actual feedback and they couldn't handle it.

Cerium should follow our example and allow the userbase to cyberbully those cuckpockets like they deserve.
 
Even with more new mods banning people every hour of the day, they're still banning so many people that they can't even be bothered to write proper ban reasonings. It's always "junior account" if they're a newer account, or "history of infractions" for older accounts. It's like the reasonings were made by a word generator just throwing in random terms like "bad faith", "drive-by", "downplaying" etc.
