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.
Even better, since this system would never work out, the next step is one with weighted voting. If you get a lot of likes, your banhammer power increases, essentially making a super protected class. Imagine it, the only posts on resetera bitching about the actual upper class while anyone with a different opinion is brigaded and censored by the protected class of resetera. It's poetry.

You could have a progressive stack where the LGBT and brown people get more weight in their voting. It would actually be pretty funny to watch because you'd have everyone arguing about what weights to apply. So the asexuals would demand equal weighting with the troons and then get voted down by groups who already had a weighting advantage.

Eventually, like all disenfranchised minorities, they'd be raped. Which would, of course, take away their claims to be 'asexual'.

If you actually applied weighted voting like that, you could get lots of REEEtards to troon out or pretend to be black for more clout and then be even more eager to rat each other out for fakery or transgressions and paranoid about being caught.

It'd be like The Crucible meets the behavioral sink.

Muahahaha!
 
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...
They'd game it just like they already game the site with that eternally suffering "report" button. Plus I don't trust anyone involved in REEEsetera being technically competent enough to implement such a system.

In reality a system like that would result in a lot of bitching (well, more than there already is). People would complain about being sanctioned, about having their mod actions reversed, about not being selected to moderate (or meta-moderate), about feeling "pressured" to moderate if they are selected, about the system being anonymized ("I don't want to punish someone I like just because they made one bad call") and about the overall quality of moderation it produces. My best guess is it would result in far fewer overall outright bans and allow more legitimately diverse conversations, and we all know that's the exact opposite of what the inmates want in that asylum.
 
In true ResetEra fashion, their first priority would be to ensure straight white men don’t have a right to vote. These people are about denying rights to others rather than give troons extra weighting.

The result would be absolutely nobody being straight white men. Even though almost all of them actually are. So when all of them troon out, troons won't be special any more. If you give them more weight for each minority status, people will be desperately trying to get them all, but to the extent you can just self-identify as them, those will become worthless and everyone will have those.

People will have to come up with weirder and weirder shit to claim to be.

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.

They wouldnt even need to do that. "Orthodoxy means not thinking- not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness" (man we're just drowning in Orwell tonight) and thats exactly what Era is, orthodox. There is no communication, no coordination, necessary, because they've been indoctrinated into the church of troons and know the scripture by heart.

This pretty much already happened. There are too many troons on REEE so they have to come up with Ace Ventura and other exceptional shit to still feel special.

What is the "June" incident? I vaguely remember something happening. Also who are Onis exes? Are they real or just in his head?

I'm torn because aborting Resetera would have made the world a better place, but the Farms runs on high functioning autism.

I guessing that Quinn is one of the voices in his head? The rest... well his grip on reality is slipping ever faster, that therapist (plottwist, is he part of the hivemind too?!) is doing his patient a disservice by not having him committed and put on clonazepam.

"I've gotten more pushback about being autistic than I ever have about being trans".
Yet strangely autists are not being murdered en masse?

They didn't make it past the first page without arguing about Pokemon Sword/Shield.

It's not the other 5 that made you have an epiphany, but the least fucking harmless one in that cocktail of brainfuck being Autism is the one that made you realize a lot about your life?
