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 don't have the data to back it up, but all an insular forum needs to remain stable is 1 admin that actually cares, 3-4 mods that do their job & 100-150 members of which the top 10 percent post roughly 10-15 times per day. Since ResetEra values control & rightthink over popularity or dollars, you can always expect the culling of wrongthinkers to get worse, not better.

So we are looking at either 10 mods per 100 users. Or people report every wrong think and the few mods very liberally ban all dissenters.
I am in the latter half camp. Makes more sense that the community almost self polices it’s self.

We know from CrunkLord's site that there are only 54 staff members policing what they claim to be 40,000+ active users(lol). Maybe half those are publicly participating, while the other half probably sort reports for higher-ups to pass judgement on. They've got about 35,000 users to shed before things are at unsustainable levels.

About two weeks purging at the current rate then.

Call me a crazy conspiracy theorist, but I think Hecht is lying. This was never stated in the thread, and seems pretty unusual practice. If you wanted private feedback, why not direct people to PMs? That way you can ban without appearing outright tyrannical when they ask pointed or uncomfortable questions.
 
How can people operate at that level of dishonesty and think they're on the right side? Like, they must realize they lie constantly, which should be a red flag.

They justify it by thinking that's how terribly everyone operates. Shitty people see themselves as average or better, so they assume you and I are just as crooked, if not more than them.

So I guess if you just disagree with this person, you're wrong, are a detriment to society, and should be deplatformed?

How do you deplatform a media corporation in a free market?

They're going to tie themselves into a knot with their mental gymnastics. All someone needs to do is reply "Colin Moriarty" and watch that thread explode.

ResetEra talking about Jeremy Hambly getting punched. https://www.resetera.com/threads/harassment-campaign-against-mtg-cosplayer-forces-her-to-leave-community-harasser-banned-from-wotc.8598/page-14 (https://archive.fo/tOz36)

It's pretty funny to see people call Jeremy a Nazi (one of those centrist-Nazis). Also the whole story about him "telling people about his centrist views" sounds made up. I saw the video immediately after the punch and it took place outside on a patio with just a few people around. The story being that Matt walked up to Jeremy to specifically ask if he was Jeremy before punching him. uBlock detects the site they cited as malware so I didn't bother whitelisting it to read.

I'm going to complain and start an anti-trust lawsuit over this!!! The EU will force NeoGAF to not link to their own ban tracker by default.

One tiny step towards being forced to be transparent.

Doesn't means they'll do shit to improve themselves, but apparently they must be really pissed to know that people who got banned can get the truth about it from anyone other than themselves.
 
And he’s banned.
>Saying words on the internet
>Great pain

Why am I not surprised?
Only on Resetera could somebody blow all their money and end up homeless to buy a Switch and games, then proceed to ask if he's doing the right thing. How old is his little brother? Take him to McDonalds or something instead, not that this "lesson" would make sense because you're just rewarding him for playing video games with you and not having him throw a tantrum.

My God.
I don't know how any human being over the age of, like, 13, could ever possibly be this stupid.

"I'm gonna get into a bet where regardless of whether or not I win, I still lose massive amounts of money! But hey, it'll at least teach the kid a lesson about not being toxic while playing video games!"

How does a person like this even get to the point where they make above 20 dollars? Does this person really expect anybody to actually believe that this person is a responsible adult who can take care of themselves?
