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

[Next Task]

Vague recollection time. Back when Digg was a thing - maybe back in the second GWB administration? - there was a time when it started getting very conservative, where anything left-leaning was instantly downvoted into oblivion and everything right-leaning was elevated to the front page. Users who were publicly against the Republicans would find everything they posted was downvoted heavily, and even taking into account a general population spread, it was clear that something was going on.

And, of course, it was. There was a secret forum for a group that called themselves the Digg Patriots, and they were collaborating on making the place conform to their worldview. Someone they didn't like made a post? Point it out on the forum and they'd instantly get hundreds of downvotes. One of them wanted to post a link to Fox News? The members could elevate it to the top of the page, every time.

And what those people had in common with the troons and wokescolds of ResetEra was a zealot's obsessive streak and too much free time. The only potential difference, and this reflects poorly on ResetEra, is that it's quite possible that if such a thing were to be implemented, that the troons wouldn't even have to organise on a Discord - they'd be able to, out in the open on the forums, just 'Ugh, transphobe' a post, and the user would get an instant ban. And the mods already know that if they know what's good for them they won't cross the troon brigade, because the REEEEEEing will make it mandatory they quit.

Incidentally, I'd guess there's numerous forums, from subreddits to places like Something Awful and Metafilter as well as ResetEra, which already have channels that go beyond places to bitch about other users they don't like. We know NeoGAF had one for the mods, after all. While the point of the Digg Patriots is that they were explicitly created to mess with the site, it's likely the troons who talk in their private channels would vehemently deny that they're organising pile-ons in their 'safe space' - it just happens that one of them will point out a post and say, 'I can't believe we have to deal with this shit in 2019. I just don't have the spoons to deal with this phobic shit,' and then suddenly that post and poster will get mass-reported and told to go fuck themselves by multiple people who will create entire false narratives about what was said to justify feeling offended and lashing out.

tl;dr - Sure, give the power to the users. The troons have it all except in name only anyway, might as well make it official that if they decide you're guilty of wrongthink that you're getting a ban.

Of all the bad ideas floated in that "mods should do better for LGBT" thread, I think this has the most potential:

This can actually work well, if you attach another layer to it. Have a meta-moderation system, where people randomly get assigned review duties to moderator actions. You have to review whether or not the promotion/demotion/ban/etc was justified.
Of course, you can make the metamoderation system blind review too, to avoid prejudicing the review.
Well-targeted reports by ordinary users can cause automatic assignment of minor janitor powers, whereas a mod that gets reversed a lot over time can be automatically sanctioned. Worked reasonably well on Slashdot, though how it would function in an entirely closed community like REE is not fully known...

It wouldn't matter how fair it was or how well it worked, if a single troon ended up banned under it they'd be flinging shit and burning the place down like the subhuman animals they are.

I'm just curious to see whether there really is a 'supressed sector' like was revealed in the final days of NeoGAF popularity, when you had hundreds of accounts burning themselves just to say "screw you".
If there's some suppressed more-sane section that could get handed the controls, I'd be interested to watch.
Not join of course, just watch.

Yes. Pagerank but for users. Everyone moderates everyone. For warmup, have mod decisions build up but do not act on them, then perform several mod actions to supply initial values and watch the miracle happen.

YEAAAAAHHHHHH

What the fuck are they talking about in terms of violence towards asexuals? Their parents asking when they'll have grandkids? People rolling their eyes and saying "ok, sure" when they tell them they are asexual?

There are two types of "asexuals": normies who don't fuck and have no interest in fucking, and "slut-shaming" deviants who pretend to.

Normies aren't disadvantaged at all: in the first world, no one cares, and in shitholes, rejecting sex for life can get one a religious career which may turn out better than forced marriage which is the fate of the vast majority. The ones worst off are men who want children but unable to find a wife because deviants clog the tubes.

Deviants buy into the alphabet soup cult, preferentially associate with other insane cultists, and fuck them. Because their sexual desires can't be communicated clearly and are inherently contradictory, they can cry violence whenever they have an unsatisfactory experience. This also presents a great opportunity for "asexual" troons to avoid the morass of "consent" and force their totally nonsexual girldicks down "asexual" female cultists' throats.

I am as I identify? Enzom21 please come back. Times have changed.

This ban is a prime example how the troons can now enforce their agenda. Ask even the most innocuous questions or try to apply logic? Insant perma-ban.

I identify as Enzom21. I am as I identify, don't question my identity fucking bigot.

It's a federal offense if you're caught, but the post office really operates like this. You could cash a few realistically. Someone did it to Google's executives once according to a recent H3 podcast.

So basically it's not just one rogue mod, some dirty black cis male, but the entire mod staff has a consensus on trans people you'd expect from the likes of Kiwi Farms, and thinks they ought to be put in concentration camps and gassed. They're all secret Trumpers.

What ResetEra mods are doing to the trannies is worse than what the Nazis did to the Jews.

Acetones

The Acetones would be a good name for a 50's band.

All the more reason for them to do it. ResetEra would barely exist by month’s end if they had “community moderating” aka witch hunts. Let it burn.

Pretty interesting to see the extreme difference between the users, power users and mods.

Japanese Porn May Be Getting Rid Of Those Pixels

It's a pretty long feed, but the gist of it is that it's possible that the criminal code will be amended so that porn can be uncensored if the performers consent to it. Of course, this may not actually go through. It seems that there will be a lot of opposition to it, especially considering...

Random selection doesn't work that way. What would actually happen is they'd freak out when it didn't go their way.

Oh yes, I vote for this one all day. Just a outright brigading war of attrition. Hilarious for us, and it might actually be the only solution (a final one?) that would leave a reasonable forum at the end.

Its 'I want to eliminate looking at everyone uglier than me which is 99% of the human race so I won't have to die alone'.

Joke's on them, even if they do manage to eliminate everyone better looking than them, no one will ever, ever fuck them lol.

But for some reason, the troon safe space doesn't like it when someone suggests a female body is invalid because of plastic surgery... oh.

The trannies smell blood in the water, they're sharks. They have to be, everyone must die and those that submit should be useful and then die. This was WW1, now we need WW2.

Much like sharks who cant stop swimming, if Troons don't stop blaming everyone else around them for their problems, they die.

We've been fighting World War T since SA began to be taken over by the troons. This is just... another front in the war against the 41% battalion.
