Support NeoGAF

[Pelta88]

Many of us visit both sites and until recently I was a member there before asking for a perm. My reasoning, seeing people get banned for having critical thought about XB's efforts in the gaming industry. Today, after mass layoffs at XB people are being banned. The offence... Thinking critically.

Can anyone pls explain what kind of values the people on RE have? I know they are left-leaning and VERY LGBT+-welcoming to a fault (from what I've heard), but anything more specific? Their behaviour seems extremely arbitrary and dare I say, actually toxic..?

 

[Wooxsvan]

psh, i left years ago. that place is one the largest Woke Echo chambers on planet earth. including in such Woke ideals is wrong-think. case in point your example

They built up their safe space bubble and refuse to let any actual discourse be discussed. They want that bubble. THey arent left leaning, they are far-left. Like all the way left.

You’re supposed to just go like “oh no I hope everyone lands on their feet, im literally shook!” and nothing else. Further discussion or sharing of opinion is bannable. Not the first time they have done this type of moderation. It just causes threads to be post after post of (frankly ineffective) expressions of sympathy. It’s so irritating. What’s the point?

 

[Sethbacca]

The only thing more annoying than console warring is the forum warring that goes on around here. At the end of the day I think a lot of the weirdo anti-woke sentiment around here is nonsense, but RE goes too far in locking down what people can say without being banned which is why I stay here. This forum would be a lot better if everyone just stopped acknowledging the other one entirely rather than renting out free headspace to it on a daily basis.

I hope these shills are part of the 1,900 layoffs at Microsoft

They are hardcore consumer whores and shills who hide behind "you're a nazi" when someone criticizes their favorite soulless product.

The worst part of the site is they hide under cowardice and if confronted, they either try a gang up or just outright ban you with no real hearing. Their arguing of a ban is a trash system. Total hivemind and the moderators single handedly ruin the website entirely. There's only so much someone can really take of that.

Does not surprise me they will outright ban anyone who questions anything a gaming company does. Unless it goes against their POV/thinking, then it's a merry-go-round.

Like radicals. To the extreme.

And I got a warning on here once dunking on Playstation. No place is perfect. It is what it is.

Things I've seen on Era:
* The Soviet Union was "working just fine" until it collapsed
* The concept of private property is inherently racist and pro-slavery
* Children who wear Trump clothes should go to adult prison
* Actors who attend church should be cancelled
* If someone breaks into your house/apt, you should help them rob you of your stuff because they obviously need it more than you do
* America "did nothing at all" to prevent the spread of Covid

All of these posts went un-moderated on a site where moderation is based on political leaning, not the TOS.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

I love to be on era but they know i post here (they said there is a problem with my IP) and they/them ask for my pronouns (which i don't even know what am i)?

i think i am not worth of the most sensible, inclusive, reasonable and diverse gaming forum. well, they are losing a great asset. i always have defended MS and Xbox as the innovative and forward thinking company they are.

 

[Celcius]

Many of us have been permabanned there for dumb reasons. No reason to care about that site. It's just the off-brand dollar store version of NeoGaf.

 

[tomato shrub]

They had threads that were mass ban graves of people daring to say Pokemon games have bad graphics.

Because criticizing lazy developers for milking the biggest gaming brand in existence with bad products at full price apparently makes you a nazi. Or an alt-right dog whistler, or whatever meaningless label they have moved on to.

I got perma'ed for saying the first amendment shouldn't be abolished.

 

[JaksGhost]

Who gives an actual fuck what is going on over there. Do some of you miss it that bad?

 

[winjer]

People really have to stop visiting that shithole of a site.

 

[Ristifer]

This certainly needed a thread on here.

 

[Fart Knight]

All hail Phil Spencer

 

[Papa_Wisdom]

Can’t get banned if you never sign up

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

If you have any original thought, you get banned from there.

As someone who's from a country that was part of the Soviet Union, I can absolutely guarantee that pretty much 99% of their userbase would've been put in labor camp if they tried to preach all the bullshit they're doing now.

Either this, or getting severely beaten.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

I got banned over there for shitting on Anita Sarkeesian.

 

[GHG]

And I got a warning on here once dunking on Playstation. No place is perfect. It is what it is.

Difference is there are mods there who are literally an extension of Microsoft's marketing team.

[GametimeUK]

Shit on Microsoft here instead lad and get a load of positive reacts.

 

[kiphalfton]

Brb "hahaha, Era is so gay"
Brb "hey guys did you see what they did/said on Era"

 

[Freelance Yakuza]

Era is a safe place for Microsoft shills and people are finally noticing

 

[Cyberpunkd]

[balls of snow]

Just spam a boss jk rowling pic in front of them and that will ruin they/them day. Too easy.

 

[Kerotan]

An administrator called "trans" istor on era

Getting banned from era is a step in the right direction.

 

[Majukun]

On era everything is a bannable offence

 

[cireza]

Oh you poor thing.

Who cares about Reee fuck em.

 

[Robb]

What doesn’t get you banned at RE? Let them live in their confirmation bias bubble.

100% but i dont see it mentioned nearly as much as it used to be....

it's really only when people get banned (newbies typically) and come here to highlight it because they think it's still relevant/topical or when some select repeat users here that just can't let go and use it as a way to rip on something, usually in a sarcastic poking fun manner of triggering/extreme left POV.

enough time has elapsed since the halving that both coexist and have become their own without the other

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Can anyone pls explain what kind of values the people on RE have?

all the positive values only. lovely people

 

[BacklashWave534]

If you’re a member of era you should be banned from being within 100 yards of a school.

[Gudji]

I got banned over there for shitting on Anita Sarkeesian.

I made a fucking joke about assassins creed running on switch and got a ban.

 

[ManaByte]

 

[tommolb]

I got banned over there for being a "racist and pro-colonial" as I wasn't impressed at a mob ripping down a statue and it not being a decision taken as a result of a democratic vote..... so nothing surprises me about what happens on there when it comes to moderation

 

[Dr_Ifto]

They were bashing Colin Moriarty, like they always do, and I asked for the source so I could look it up. Just for asking, I got 3 month banned.

 

[Švejk]

Not surprised at all. Their sticky threads are the most comically bad tasting hypocrisy of posts (linked to child labor one especially, amongst others), it's staggering. People on that board cannot see the forest through the trees.

 

[Pelta88]

Mods actually dropped a joke warning with it too. Date of exp? Tomorrow
