RPGnet Forums

[SiccDicc]

It's starting to look like the hobby is in desperate need of a new forum, one that will get rid of politics and PC bullshit and get back to talking about the hobby.

I just want an rpg board where games and gaming concepts are open for discussion with little moderation, and with room for fun "elf slave wat do" threads.

Well, Kiwifarms has that tabletop thread, but maybe a subforum in Games would work out better.

For all the bullshit that the companies spew... it's nothing that can't be fixed by a good homebrew.

The one thing lefties and righties have in common is that they both ree whenever you bring up a fair point in an argument against them.

I think they've finally hit a new low with ban justifications. "I don't think you mean anything wrong, but you're making our hugbox less huggy. Plus some other random claims, so this this last one seems less stupid."

Well of course the fucker has an Ur-Quan Kohr-Ah avatar.

I'd suggest /tg/, but then again a lot of its users whine about how the board's gone downhill ever since nazi-mod/quests were banned/summer/that anon's pet issue. Then there's GiantITP, where they don't ban you, but they overmoderate everything and censor (or "{scrub}" as they call it) posts just when things start to get interesting. Commentary on real world politics and religion are banned, which is hilarious when the site's owner throws his own views into his webcomic "Order of the Stick" and no one's allowed to debate him in the forums.
And I've glanced at r/rpg, but they seem to love identity politics there. Once saw a guy argue that everything is political, and if you portray feudalism without distinctly saying it's A Bad Thing, then you're condoning it.

Truly, 2006 or so anarcho/tg/ was best /tg/. No gods, no mods.

"making rpg.net feel less welcoming" is bannable. Banning someone who stated an opinion, on the other hand, is apparently not making the place feel less welcoming.

 

[Randall Fragg]

To all the people discussing alternate RPG forums, use the Games subforum here, it needs more activity.

 

[ectoplasm]

The new mod is going to blend right in.

I found the thot

 

[Monsieur Guillotine]

You can tell this bitch lives in a tiny societal bubble, because women and troons as a whole have willingly appropriated the term "thot".

Today in RPG.net: A person gets a harsher punishment for complaining about people ramping up the rhetoric against republicans than a person who talked about wanting to kill republicans if they could get away with it.

implying that someone is a Gamergate supporter on the basis of nothing whatsoever is a serious matter

Boy howdy, they do not like Gamergate at all, do they?

Interestingly, I was combing through the infractions, and ran across this one:

Interesting. Guess there's a level of vitriol even the RPG.net dweebs aren't willing to entertain -- even targeted at Trump and his family.

 

[Wallace]

RPGNet takes another step down the TDS road.

I can't wait to see how they reconcile "we're banning support for Donald Trump" with "we're not banning conservatives".

 

[anti SJW]

They should just ban all political talk/ support for both sides to keep it fair. But then that will ruin the little hug box they made for themselves. "Everyone is welcome. But if you disagree with us even a little, we'll ban you. "

“The following policy announcement is the result of over a year of serious debate by the moderation team. The decision is as close to unanimous as we ever get.”
Thats not what debate is.

I'm pretty sure forced unanimity based on a closed doors decision by an elite is the exact opposite of debate.

Sounds like the European Union style of debate.

 

[Starscreams Cape]

It's actually quite amusing how their whole slide up to and including this point is remarkably similar in tone to the Nuremberg Laws.
