The cringe factor is high.
It seems there whole thing is just GAF minus EL.
I am sure it will work, but I doubt they will fix the problems that were wrong with GAF,
By moop2000 Go To Postmissing the game of the year, PUBG…It’s just a fad.
lol
By ned_ballad Go To PostI'd be careful with any Resetera twitter account. Seems the gaters are grabbing names related to it to troll. At least that's what people on Twitter are saying.
I'm pretty amazed this site has mostly avoided GG'ers considering the amount of GAF overflow.
By LFMartins86 Go To PostContingencies are in place if that happens.
The core issue I have is not brigades though, it is the throwaway accounts that are possible and the fact that the email requirement made it hard for folks younger than 16 or 18 to get onto the site with posting rights, but also made bans more significant. Juniors not being able to make threads meant that the noise on the forum from new accounts not knowing how things worked was cut down too. As a vet of other forums it was a much better community for the control and the heirarchy. Getting your ass banned off GAF was a big deal.
By mentallyinept Go To PostOfficial @ReseteraForum twitter just posted this a few minutes ago:trying too hard with that
godspeed to them tho
By ned_ballad Go To PostI'd be careful with any Resetera twitter account. Seems the gaters are grabbing names related to it to troll. At least that's what people on Twitter are saying.True, but this one is indeed the official one as specified in the discord previous known as gaf.
By null Go To PostI wonder how many were banned from gaf and are just using this as a platform to air some grievances.A lot of people want to air their grievances. That's not to suggest that everyone who does was banned, because I certainly was not, but I still had a lot of reservations and complaints concerning people in the community and the moderation team.
"wah I was banned because I couldn't say the n-word." and? piss off.
By null Go To PostI wonder how many were banned from gaf and are just using this as a platform to air some grievances.The joke is every gaffer has been banned multiple times. Many are on their 2nd and 3rd id.

By TheMikado Go To PostI think the discussion is good but respect is still the standard.
That is correct. And thats why i proceeded to act like a douche after being called a racist for liking PDP's videos and contributing with my honest opinion that
- He was an asshole for saying it
- But i understand his circumstances and im not willing to label him a racist
- He apologized publicly and i took that into account too.
Somehow this makes someone a racist , and your expected to show respect after you get labeled left and right like this.
This was par of the course in Off Topic, i guess people have some distorted memories of that forum, or they never entered in the sights of people like Slavyen, Excelsior, etc and their mob of minions.
I truly hope Malka brings the forum back so everyone can go have their toxic bubble back, and pat each other on the back when they dish out the labels and insults.
By PeskyToaster Go To PostI don't think Waypoint was the right fit after I read their mod posts, stickys, and other similar posts. I fear the influx of GAFers will change what they have there too much and as a GAFer looking for a place to land I don't want to 'ruin' what others have built just because there's a ton of us roaming around.I mean as a long time Gaffer I don't think I need special accommodation. This place doesn't seem like 4chan or reddit levels of horribleness (and I still use reddit a lot, lol) and I'll be happy if eventually we get active OTs for stuff I used to read on GAF.
By Raphael Go To PostAny hopes at salvaging the RPG ranking? Was very curious how it would turn out this year.
Supposedly the OP is waiting for the dust to settle to see where the most people are migrating to but isn't abandoning it.
By tino Go To PostThe joke is every gaffer has been banned multiple times. Many are on their 2nd and 3rd id.
man, I was waiting on my 6th.
By mentallyinept Go To PostOfficial @ReseteraForum twitter just posted this a few minutes ago:This belongs to the "cringe yourself to sleep" thread.
By Goose Se7en Go To PostBecause many times it wasn't civil discussion and it became a shouting match to score brownie points among other Gaffers. Many threads devolved to drive by posts against the one dude/gal who had a different opinion.
And why "challenge"? That word you used is very telling. Why does everything have to be a fight? Why can't we just accept that some folks think differently and that is OK. You may not agree, you may understand (you don't need to btw) it's an internet forum. MOVE ON.
Been reading since yesterday, many folks have posted stuff I don't agree with. I ask myself 1. If I post in response am I adding anything meaningful to the discussion? Nope. 2. Is it worth going back and forth with someone that I most likely will not get my point across with? Nope. Ok move on.
lol there's a difference between debating whether BOTW is the greatest Zelda game and whether saying the word nigger is acceptable.
By tino Go To PostThe joke is every gaffer has been banned multiple times. Many are on their 2nd and 3rd id.In my 6 years on the site, I was never banned.
You just get a feel of what threads to avoid and you can usually manage okay.
By NinjaFridge Go To PostIt's great. Ending is a bit weak but overall it's great. It should be cheap now too.Yeah, the ending kinda ruined my opinion of the game. I loved it for 3/4s of my play-through. Last 1/4 sucked.
Those damn military bots that come after you…
By FlutterPuffs Go To PostI'm going with Crystal Palace this time. Everyone is going down.
Always went with saints (since they were on league .. one? whatever was the lowest). Shit's too easy now :( Would go and play with a shit team in championship but newcastle went up so :shrug:

By Fenderputty Go To PostI'm pretty amazed this site has mostly avoided GG'ers considering the amount of GAF overflow.Small enough that they ignore it. Been a little more talk about it as of late, for obvious reasons..

I love the lore folks craft around me. It's is amazing, just because some people don't like when called out on their bullshit
By Huw_Dawson Go To PostGetting your ass banned off GAF was a big deal.
I was banned by Beseda for some shit I watched him let slide future threads. GAF bannings were often arbitrary and dependent on the mood of the moderator. It was pretty garbage. It kept out some of the rif raf, but it helped create the culture that resulted in it's implosions. Banning meta discussion, banning discussion on banned users, banning anyone who questioned authority etc etc.
I was a member at GAF for a long long time. I say plenty of quality posters in Poligaf get ban hammers over the years. Including the walking political encyclopedia that was Benji.

I did like that. Reminded me of the old Usenet days (pre-AOL) where you'd get destroyed by 5-6 PhD/Law School students in a 500 word essay if you posted something stupid. I was so scared as a kid that it took me about a year of reading before I started posting content.

Meh just do what SA does, charge a one time fee. That will make the teens go away and make the banning significant.
By inky Go To PostThe Witcher 3 GOTY every year. Gonna get my third full playthrough in December.I actually just bought it on Xbox since they had a GOTY sale for 20 bucks.
FM 18 is indeed looking like the biggest jump since FM 12
By Sblargh Go To Post…it worked with me… I kind of want to believe now.
SLAENT needs a media department.
Where is FF#2? He would have been all over it if he was elected a mod.
By Slayven Go To PostI have minions?
If it isn't the Antichrist himself, how will you survive here dude ? With all these racists.

You're pretty angry about it for some reason.

Really gotta get that chip off your shoulder man.
See, that's the thing. We all know it's not acceptable, and the folks that don't, why in the world would I want to waste my time debating/discussing whether or not it is.? I wouldn't want to do that. I'd just ignore that person and say to myself "yea not bothering with this person"
I don't get why it's so hard to do that. Not every situation has to be a fight/battle. It's not like by having a debate I'm going to change this person's mind.

@GAF bans: I got banned briefly only once since I joined in 2012. It was silly - I worded something in a way that sounded like I pirate DS games. This is extra funny because my DS collection is my second biggest collection. Not even close to getting banned after that, maybe I'm not too controversial.
By Andodalf Go To PostHow do you pronounce Slaent?I've been saying "Sl-aint"

You do realize you lose everyone that isn’t at minimum diet racist with the second point, and the third point is null and void if you do it again less than a week later.
By PurpleMug Go To PostThere, I fixed the GOTY banner
