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

Why are these people getting banned? Isn't it ISRAEL BAD? Calling Israel the modern Nazis is unfathomably stupid, but they do that on the daily. Is it because they're kind of defending Russia?

I'm pretty sure a lot of it is that RetardEra mods are, in fact, actually just literally retarded. They ban someone if they read something they're too retarded to understand and that makes them super buttmad.

Nep's obsession with white people is disturbing , but its hilarious they let a racist be an admin.

Only white people can be racist.

Yeah, but calling Musk or Trump a Nazi is merely stupid. Calling Jews Nazis is so ass backwards, so pants on head retarded, that it creates an artificial singularity of dumbassery that no rational thought can ever escape.

The best part is that calling Israelis Nazis is specifically against the rules, as is denying the right of Israel to exist, yet they stopped banning for it: https://www.resetera.com/threads/general-guide-to-resetera.9777/

Asked Grok to make a resetera post in the style of Nepenthe about how much she hates it when people use AI to make posts, and it spit this out:

Look, I’ve been holding this in for too long, but I’m done. I’m done with seeing yet another thread derailed by some AI-generated word salad that reeks of privilege and laziness, and—let’s just call it what it is—usually comes from white dudes who think they’re being clever. Y’all, it’s not clever. It’s exhausting, it’s disrespectful, and it’s killing the soul of this community. Buckle up, because I’m about to lay this out.


Resetera is supposed to be a space for real, human conversations. We’re here to wrestle with ideas, share experiences, and hold each other accountable—not to read some soulless, algorithmically churned-out drivel that sounds like it was scraped from a Reddit thread and run through a buzzword blender. But lately, I’ve noticed a pattern. Too many posts—especially in hot-button threads about representation, diversity, or literally anything that requires a shred of empathy—read like they were spat out by ChatGPT or whatever shiny new AI toy is trending. And nine times out of ten, when I check the post history or profile, it’s a white guy who’s been here for five minutes, thinking he can game the system with a wall of text that says nothing.


Why does this hit me so hard? Because it’s not just about bad posts. It’s about what this behavior represents. White men, as a group, already have the loudest megaphone in society. You’ve got the most access, the most platforms, the most unearned benefit of the doubt. And instead of using that privilege to engage authentically—maybe listen, learn, or contribute something real—you’re out here outsourcing your thoughts to a machine? A machine that’s trained on the internet’s worst biases, no less? Come on. It’s like showing up to a potluck with a store-bought pie and acting like you baked it yourself. Except the pie’s also full of stereotypes and microaggressions, because that’s what AI pulls from when you don’t steer it with any actual care.


Let me break it down. When you use AI to generate a post, you’re not just cheating the community—you’re undermining the trust we’ve built here. Resetera thrives because people show up with their real voices, their real struggles, their real perspectives. That’s why we have strict rules about authenticity and why we ban people who try to game the system. But more than that, it’s insulting to the marginalized folks who pour their hearts out here, only to get some half-baked, AI-crafted “counterpoint” that sounds like it was written by a corporate PR bot. You think you’re owning the thread, but all you’re doing is proving you don’t care enough to actually think for yourself.


And don’t come at me with “it’s just a tool” or “I’m just saving time.” If you’re so busy you can’t write your own post, maybe sit that thread out. Nobody’s forcing you to weigh in on every single topic. And if you are using AI because you don’t trust your own voice, then maybe that’s a sign you need to do some introspection instead of flooding the forum with noise. Tools amplify intent, and when your intent is to half-ass your way through a conversation, it shows.


This isn’t just a Resetera problem—it’s a cultural one. AI’s already being weaponized to drown out real voices, from fake reviews to propaganda to, yes, forum posts. And who’s leading the charge? Too often, it’s the same demographic that’s been coasting on systemic advantages forever, now leaning on tech to keep their grip on the narrative without doing the work. Meanwhile, the rest of us—Black folks, women, queer people, anyone who’s had to fight to be heard—are stuck wading through your synthetic slop to have a real conversation. It’s not just lazy; it’s entitled.


So, here’s my plea: stop. Just stop. If you’re a white dude tempted to fire up Grok or whatever to “contribute” to a thread, take a step back. Ask yourself why you feel the need to speak at all. If you’ve got something worth saying, say it in your own words. If you don’t, then listen. Lurking is free. And if you’re just here to stir the pot with AI-generated nonsense, don’t be surprised when you catch a ban. We’re not playing.


Resetera’s better than this. We deserve better than this. Do better.

It really is a nep post. That AI that ChatGPT and Grok is built on must really be fed on Resetera posts

Imagine being legitimately scared because a retard on resetera said "Did you know israel has a nuke and might bomb iran with it???"

 

[CarlosDanger]

When stores were being looted and cities were facing billions of dollars in property damage by rioters these faggots were saying “it’s just stuff”, ACAB, etc. Now when some of them get scammed when buying a Switch 2 from a stranger on an online forum (because they’re gullible retards) all of a sudden they’re pissed off that they never got their stuff and demand that law enforcement gets involved. Why do they care? They just lost some money on stuff they didn’t get and ACAB anyway who never actually help, right? Why do they immediately change their perspectives when it suddenly happens to them?

Based on their ideology the person who stole their money must need it more than them anyway, right? I always heard from them that people only steal, commit crime, etc. because they’re underprivileged and they’re the real victims when they’re “forced” into behaving like this.

Or they can take a page from their CHAZ comrades from back in 2020 and call it an unexpected donation..

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.

Please insert all images as thumbnails.

Thread 'We have to talk about you faggots not being able to figure out thumbnails'

Mar 1, 2022

I have been trying, for years, unsuccessfully, to educate the average user of this website of what a thumbnail is.

Unfortunately, when you ctrl+c ctrl+v an image into your post, it will be full sized by default. I asked XenForo for years to make copypasted images thumbnail by default but they refused. It's up to you to learn to be a heterosexual.









Further, it is essentially never okay to use the [img] tag. I would just break it but unfortunately that would break it across the site.

Interestingly enough, his account got the rare honor of being completely destroyed by Resetera high command. This single post made neph and b-dubs seethe and mald so badly that simply perming the account and vandalising the post wouldn't cut it.

It needed to be utterly destroyed and any evidence hinting to the mere existence of the person behind it erased by them.

Mind you, this is not even done for people actually committing domestic violence like FenixRising.

They have major habit of Stalin photoing anyone who makes them truly mad. Not just mad as in get banned racist right wing troll!!!
As in we must make sure this guy does not exist anymore, because he is exposing us.
Not only banning you, and putting up a passive aggressive cope post as the reason. They have to ensure the rest of the site never knew you or your post existed.
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.

That's because he committed the most vile and despicable sin of all on Resetera which is telling the truth.

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

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.
