Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
The final straw for me on Era was the topic of that British MP that was stabbed to death on Friday. Some of them were gleefully cheering on the fact that someone they had never met had just been brutally murdered, just because he was a conservative. And of course the mods did nothing. Plus you can’t sensibly debate with these people as you will be immediately labelled and then banned.

They did a quick Google of him and assumed he was some massive homophobe but by all account he was actually one of the nicest people you could meet who did so much for people, for animal welfare and was even helping refugees obtain citizenship. He had served his community for 40 years and probably accomplished and did more for humanity in one day than these guys will achieve in their entire worthless lives.

So yeah just a nasty bunch of self-righteous morons.
That’s the kind of thread that needs to be sent to their new owners. That’s just simply disgusting.

I met David Amess once. He was an extremely nice, dedicated man, who was loved by his constituents.

I basically hope those cunts get cancer.

The OT thing is really gonna bite them. Who on earth would spend hours crafting one there now when they will A. not show any gratitude, B. keep it as their own even of you want to take it down, and C. know it just profits a corporation?

All caught up. That thread is definitely nearing its end. I suspect the mods will lock it out today or tomorrow. I would not be surprised if the subject matter becomes taboo on all threads. Anyone mentioning it will most likely get their post deleted and a warning not to continue.

At least we know now how long it takes for a snake to eat its self--4 years.

Sure and at that point this topic needs to be put on cold storage until the next event. Then reopened as needed, otherwise it will just become a look what the crazies posted today topic.

As they look to move, you can tell them that I offered to bank roll Resetera last time when Cerium purposely ignored me. My ancient thread on their forum was 100% accurate and I again feel confident saying that the value promise with that community no longer exists.

I would have to say I’m not a petty person. But seeing that place implode has literally given hope to people about positive change.

This place went through a rebirth regardless of what others at era think/label this forum.

And with the buyout over there I think a rebirth will happen. Or at least the implosion has woken people including some management what actual free discourse should look like.

Hogwarts thread and next CDPRJ RED thread will be final test for the administration staff.

Hope Nephane gets demoted for literally calling for crackery being used, and that dictatorship of peoples work in OT should leave with the person who made them and possibly provided custom graphics for them.

Remember: You can't be racist to white people.

By this logic two non white groups can use whatever racist terms to each other becuse "It's just childish insults".
Ah so if I move to China where whites are a minority it CAN be a slur?

There’s a difference between what they think they know and what they actually need to do. They need to know that the forum they just purchased is one built on empty promises and overall backhandedness. Cerium leveraged his position on there by simply copying the framework laid down by NeoGAF, then once a large enough number had migrated, go back on his word and install an Orwellian sense of control. If M.O.B.A were hoping their latest acquisition was a family friendly affair, with rainbows and sunshine dust, they’re going to be bitterly disappointed.

can you still get banned in resetera for saying "I like this game, I will buy it" ?
If it's under a thread title calling something " problematic" then yes you are " dismissing or downplaying the issue"

See where resetera's logic goes wrong is that literally any problem issue that's brought up by a minority has to be the truth and you have to agree with it. Because you're not a minority and they are... That's it. Discussion over..

Which is... Fucking... Stupid.

Their other problem is that they literally refuse to see things from both sides in the race issue.
To them a black person cannot be racist to a white person because white people are in power and that's that. It's always a power thing with these people... Always.
And also its always done from a USA perspective.. always.....

I still cannot believe that forum is so surprised and upset that the owner has sold the site for money as if none of those unloyal fucks would do the same thing.

These are the very people that jump on celebrities when they make mistakes, no forgiveness, no comebacks... I mean their very nature promotes backstabbing and doesn't promote 'community' or 'loyality'

Not to mention, Resetera was created from a mass exodus of neogaf...so... They've done this before..

What Nepenthe doesn’t seem to understand (and really the moderation clique as a whole, but she epitomizes it more than anyone) is that when you create this unfalsifiable state where any critique or criticism can be written off as “crackery” or “white fragility” (even from a black guy), or “privilege,” or “dIsMiSsIve,” then you’re going to have zero introspection or concern for bettering yourself. You’ll drive off anyone with any intelligence because they’ll be so put off by the “Black creative woman” god complex you’ve created that can disregard any opposing view at any time for any conjured up reason. All of this while prioritizing voices not due to how much sense they’re making, but because of how many boxes they can supposedly check on your oppression list. How shocking that this system based on actually arbitrarily suppressing people based on their skin color and sexuality/gender identity failed. Absolutely shocking.
