I wonder if Cerium will name other names or just let them tear themselves apart finding the other trolls...?

They already think nearly everyone is a Kiwi agent, which is why since the PedoEra discord scandal mods and admins are hardly speaking to members.

They're constantly scared of leaks or informants. Pretending to be a troon is the golden ticket because it allows you to be unhinged and attack the mods if they dare question you.

Ridiculous (and impossible to close) full screen ad on mobile

Has anyone been experiencing this over the past few hours? On safari iOS here and keep getting redirected to this fake google page. Happens within a few clicks normally (why I’m unable to search if this has been posted about). Please fix admins! Link to ad...

Isamu Fukui pretends he can't fix his malware ads because it's Christmas.

 

[hell is other robots]

Speaking of FeistyBoots, which one of you is it?

Certainly not me.

 

[VacuousSpooder]

Godspeed, shitposters.

Hobbes wants to know if the Resetera mods can find out who all of you are

Will Era ever impose a feature that hides threads from lurker view that are sensitive topics, like trans focused threads?

Would it ever be possible to identify someone who screenshots posts and submits them to hate sites?

I didn't screenshot Hobbes, I'm listening to your feedback.

Now we'll try and find out who FeistyBoots really is!

 

[Water-T]

We are all FeistyBoots

"Given the words, they use I am surprised they haven't been sued more"
Imagine being sued over words you said on the internet lmao

Hobbes thinks making Era a clubhouse for cool kids only is somehow going to stop the spread of screencaps. We need Shy or someone to inform him of how many secret kiwis the site has. Good to see him right back at it after all those threats to ragequit the site when he was banned, though.

Shitsu got banned again lol

The kind of quality thread only Era can provide.

 

[hell is other robots]

If you told me Excel Spreadsheet or FiestyBoots (still totally not me) were trolls, that wouldn't surprise me. Hobbes on the other hand is obviously genuine. He's a milquetoast version of hbomberguy only with far, far, far less reach. Maybe my ire towards Excel should be pointed at him instead. What is an incident manager anyway? Do they also verify Gamestop assistant managers on RE?

 

[AnOminous]

They're now crying and screaming it didn't go their way.

I wonder why they chose the U.S. for a defamation lawsuit when they probably would have won it in the UK, and why they'd pick Los Angeles for a venue when they probably didn't think calling someone a pedo is defamation because they approve of pedos.

Shitsu got banned again lol

Sad. They banned for that instead of replying "Baby don't hurt me."

They already think nearly everyone is a Kiwi agent, which is why since the PedoEra discord scandal mods and admins are hardly speaking to members.

All according to keikaku.

Hobbes is hilarious. He thinks his whining about unfair mod actions carries any weight whatsoever. How fucking dumb is this dude? YOU'RE FUCKING A WHITE MALE!

 

[Munchingonfish]

Hobbes is a retard.

He thinks Fukui would lock large parts of the site from public view? How is he supposed to make his Google ad bucks off of random speds?

Hobbes is an exceptional individual.

Dude this is actually stupidly easy to do by manipulating pixel widths and colors in homeopathic amounts. The feds have been doing it for decades, well-known forums have done it, and there are very likely some easy-to-obtain forum plugins that do it for decent forums. The thing is, this group of exceptional individuals probably can't.

 

[EmpGulcasa]

Wait, where is that idiot getting his info that Feistyboots and others are deep cover trolls? I mean, I wouldn't be surprised, but I'm curious.

One of the lulzier effects a thread here has on eggshelly forums (and individual lolcows) is extreme paranoia.

 

[Autismo]

Fucking losing it at the dude desperately wanting to be diagnosed as autistic so he can blame his shitty personality on a mental disorder. I hope he’s not a troll because this dude is so pathetic and I’m glad he exists so I can laugh at him

This, you could easily steganograph a 2d code in a background containing an encrypted IP and session-ID, the only things that need tweaking are surface area and parity because screenshooters will cut them off etc. But it's not like we have much to fear to be honest, their tech people are fighting an uphill battle keeping up with xenforo's basics as it is.

IPv6 = 8 bytes
I'm told that "subliminal" browser ID data is about 2 bytes worth
Call session ID another 6-8 bytes
Let's say 128 bits of data
AES-128-CBC the block because we don't need real security or anything
Subtly scramble 128 (or less) pixels covering areas that are likely to be screenshotted
Or let's say 256 and just double the numbers
Better still just hash that shit
If this is over your head you have no place running a forum
But who said that these faggots did?

 

[Pope Negro Joe the XIIIth]

Thought experiment:

Pretend you're a member of a site that's so goddamn beyond the edge of rationality and normal human behavior that you have multiple sites and accounts dedicated to tracking and documenting how insane you are. You are now discussing ways to prevent & identify screenshoters or hide threads from public view while lamenting that law enforcement hasn't been brought to bear against people for saying vulgar things on the internet anonymously. At no point do you stop, look in a mirror, and think "maybe we're the baddies."

Now, how many prostitutes have you or are you likely to kill in the future?

Why become that involved? Everyone knows that kiwis can still get in under the radar via a common security vulnerability on Windows computers known as System32. If your computer contains a subfolder called \windows\system32, congratulations — a kiwi has rootkitted your computer and can log into your ResetERA account at any time. Luckily, deleting System32 will remove the rootkit and keep your computer kiwi-free.

Huh, yeah, I guess this is why they do it, isn't it? "You can't blame me for being a hateful bigot with no empathy for anyone that isn't exactly like me, I was born this way!"

 

[Judge Dredd]

If ResetEra implements some fool proof system for tracking and banning trolls and people who take screen caps. That still won't help them. All it will do if deprive us of laughs.

It could even make things worse as they won't have a scapegoat to blame the staffs transphobic outbursts, anti-semitic remarks, and racist tirades on. And what if it's revealed to be popular community voices? KetKat more or less admitted to sharing private discord logs and they were allowed back. What are they going to do, ban them again?
