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

But, and this is a big but, this all just sounds odd to people on personal, individualistic level. Normal people don't go out of their way to correct somebody like a pedant nor do they throw big temper tanties over it, probably because it doesn't matter. That's how normal people operate and unlike these posters, normal people don't enforce their own perspectives onto others. It's the same tier as correcting people who say "irregardless." Yes, it's fine to think it's odd, but nobody cares that it bothers you and you look like a lunatic for yelling at people to speak otherwise.

I always mock incels for it because they do it every time they're not coming up with autistic things like "femoid."

No...quite a few have come up in the gaming forums whenever anyone mentions trannys...women in games (bf5) and everyone's favorite topic...gamergate.

The moderation in the gaming forum is just as fucked

I do not doubt there are bans in the gaming side, but the majority of the bans mentioned in this thread come from non-gaming threads, or tertiary content (gaming journalism). A couple of gaming threads that do show up are secondary (bf5 for example, its about the controversy and not the game) and threads about games with "bad devs" come up less often.

I don't know about you, but I usually only check threads about stuff I'm interested in. So one could argue visiting the gaming forum and only checking out news about either niche stuff you like or gaming news (actual news, not clickbait-ey blogposts) would lead to very few bans showing up for you. Again, if you came from NeoGAF you are used to a few bans here and there (since its the same mod team).

The moderation is retarded and that's a given, but so is the userbase -- is kind of what I'm trying to say here.

Do not endorse trolling. Do not quote slurs. Doing this is account suicide.

What a fucking bizarre thing to say. How do you know that Mr. Moderator? Do you have direct contact with the whale(s) who dumped their stock? Are you involved in insider trading? https://www.resetera.com/threads/ni...hocking-share-drop.46650/page-10#post-8713525 (https://archive.is/dPAIm)

I don't know why this post makes me so angry, maybe because it's objectively false. EVERYTHING gets price in, including the fraction of penny change in cost of cardboard in the global economy you imbecile.

It's the same logic behind the 'nobody is allowed to talk about the Zoe post, that post is between two people!', trying to pretend something that literally everyone does all the time is somehow an egregious error in this instance.

GAF is still a bit dead, but the moderation is actually good now. Almost anything goes and mods are not trannies. The elf deserves to get fucked, but I'd still rather see GAF recover instead of ReeEra surviving.

Most of the allegations are just that....allegations...would not at all be surprised if they have been trying to unseat him for a while.

If you ran the biggest gaming related forum on the internet your gonna get some attention..and some crazies

I don't care about the elf being an autist in the shower. I care about him letting the best gaming forum on the net go to the shitter.

I get the impression that most of the bans come from the non-gaming side of the forum, so people who only check threads about games wouldn't even notice the shit we see here (which focus on the bans). So no, if you joined that site to discuss politics you are already banned and if you joined to discuss video games after neogaf imploded the couple of bans you may see are a normal occurrence to you.

I get the impression that ResetEra isn't a gaming forum, and if anyone does talk about video games it is an extreme minority subforum & just an ice-breaker to lead into bitching about current politics and ideologies.

Would anyone be interested in setting up fresh accounts with similar names to your KF names here with no post history on ResetEra, arranging a start date once everyone has been manually approved, and racing to see who can reach 1000 valid posts without getting banned first? And if everyone fails, whomever makes it the farthest wins. Honorable mentions to users that get away with really inflammatory posts or who makes the most convincing fake troon online. Could be an amusing competition with multiple categories.

Existing accounts might work too, as long as you post your current post count to make sure you're pushing for a fresh 1000 like everyone else.

Can you join Era without doxing yourself now? I thought that was just a small window when the transition happened.
 
Having occasionally read a bit of neogaf starting back in the PS2 days this entire clusterfuck is bewildering.

Neogaf was only good for helping to eliminate the fake gaming hardware and software sales numbers numbers. There was some good discussions about games but nothing really any different from other gaming forums.

The reputation that 'gaming insiders' posted there helped the hype for the site but even that was wildly overblown. There was some miserable little troll from Turn 10, a dimwitted Microsoft exec who got caught flaming a poster in a private message, and a mid-level guy from Isomniac posting the same stuff you get from any other game dev social media account.

Mods like Amir0x were complete garbage all the way back then and it is hilarious to see him exposed to the entire world.

I knew there was a non-gaming part of the site but I always assumed it was just there to pad out the number of message boards. I never imagined anyone would waste their time posting there.

What I don't understand about the SJWs/Feminists and other toxic nutcases that everyone is posting about here is no one in the press covers these spin off nutcase boards. SJWs almost always are aware enough to not waste their time with low visibility online sites, they prefer to put their effort into hijacking sites with large amounts of normal people or large public visibility.

I can see there would be a brief rush of power by these wackos but I can't imagine it lasting very long.
