By EightBitNate Go To PostA little late to this, but I thought I should respond. Don’t know what the tone of this thread is, so I’m just going to share my honest thoughts.
I’m mixed about all of this. As much as many people despise GAF, it was a great way to waste time and learn about game news. However, I, like many, hated what the moderation staff (and general user base) had become. Anyone who questioned the views of the left at any point was the enemy on GAF.
But still, like I said, I liked visiting the site to get gaming news and to laugh at all the crazies. Can’t say I’m remorseful that it burned down either.
ResetEra seems to be making the exact same mistakes that the original site made. You’re out of your goddamn minds if you think Besada and the rest of the mod team didn’t know Evilore was a creep. They 100% knew about his Spain escapades. Leaving now was nothing but virtue signaling and it’s a shame that so many users don’t realize the mod team was part of the problem.
Find new mods who won’t power trip, learn not to take pride in being in the top five Hillary Clinton website referrals, and make it about gaming and shooting the shit again.
Until then, catch me laughing at you loonies at TheBore.
PS. Someone please tell them their logo is shitty. I mean, did they use WordArt or something?
so how's your sister doing these days?
By Grimsat Go To PostNeeds more aloy.She's there. You just can't see her because the FOV is so tight.
Speaking of Porn stories I remember when it was revealed Hannah Hotel's boyfriend (at the time all those amatuer vids got made) was a GAF poster
Besada on Twitter originally pegged ResetERA to go live at 10pm GMT I think but it has gone back a bit.
By reilo Go To PostYo can we chill on the politics and racism 101 in here? I’m trying to catch up on the last 20 pages or so and this last page is… how? How’d you get here?Just responding to the question:
"Trigger" words like SJW, outrage culture, wrong think, literally shaking, and such started happening unironically. Couldn't say folks were trying to illicit a response, but yeah..it's working!
By Angelus Errare Go To PostRave…your avatar is not anime. Wtf is this?!new year new me friend
By RoyalJCC Go To PostSo shinobi, ZEx and Nibel as mods? I might jump on that.
Bish not a mod? I'm liking it so far.
Now if only the likes of Lime, Crossing Eden etc would stay away...
By Hystzen Go To PostSo what happens to RestEra when GAF comes back online after lore steps down handing keys to someone else. Do they keep the rush replacement site goingLurking here this past, 50 something pages (lol), the subtle triggering of some aside SL&ENT is chilled, and already getting it's own crowd, as are other sites, and I'm very doubtful given how GAF fell apart that re-opening it back up, minus EL, is gonna have everyone flock back as their go-to forum.
Oh man Hannah hotel I haven't heard that in years. I think dudes tag was you've probably jerked off to my bony ass before or something along those lines.
By BearNuggets Go To PostSo do people want modding power to be divided somewhat like a democracy?
I'd really like to know what some folks solution to having moderation better than gaf.
Everyone gets to vote with an electoral college based on community threads.

No Bish is a good start.
By ned_ballad Go To PostBenji not being banned always made me keep on my toes when posting historical stuff, because if I was wrong, he'd write a small essay about why I was wrong and what actually happened with a bunch of links and stuff.
By Fenderputty Go To PostRight. He trolled too close to the sun at time, but an overall great poster though. Anyone bringing that much content to the table makes those around them more complete.
By Jonm Go To PostBenji ultimately got permed though. Took his talents to The Bore and offhanded historical allegories have never been the same.
By G Shumy Go To PostHA! That dude WAS bore and spent his time egging shit on for their entertainment forever. His ban was a shock to plenty, considering how long it was known by moderation there and the rest of us who frequented..I've been THERE and HERE long before I ever had a single ban from NeoGAF.com. NBA-GAF getting done dirty is what originally truly cast me out to fill better places with endless garbage content regularly. I never hung around here since it deserved better and I wasn't man enough to see it evolve beyond NBA-GAF. (Though weirdly I never even went back to the new NBA-GAF even to take a look after one time.)
Being facetious is not the same thing as being sarcastic nor is it trolling. The fact that some users and moderators lived in such a bubble that they could only conceive of foreign viewpoints as a deliberate long con of secretively planned trolling is their own fault. I've always posted the same way everywhere and those who truly kept a paranoid eye on The Bore as a whole would know that.
As a side note: The Bore is so progressive that they keep me around as a token minority to show their social justice bonafides. (Also I bribe the moderators.)
Apologies to relio and others, but people were speaking well of me and I could not let that stand. Not in the #ResetEra!
By Galleren Go To PostNow if only the likes of Lime, Crossing Eden etc would stay away…You can't hate on Lime's pursuit of exposing America's injustice. Crossing Eden is harmless.

Dunno what Lime did.

holy shit, LMAO. I had forgotten about that. Didn't he get an avatar based on a screencap of her (his) videos?
If memory serves, Bish was implied to be the one who went overboard with banning Trump supporters after the election, right? I remember he stepped down not long afterwards.

By tino Go To PostThere is nothing wrong with Natalie Portman folders. BTW is Porn discussion allowed?
Discussion sure. Lewd images. No.
By Qvoth Go To Postseems like resetera is going to have the best shot as the replacement
If this person was intelligent, he would lay low about the development of his forum and let ResetEra take the brunt of the fuckery.
But I mean I doubt it. No one really thinks that far.
Was thosedefmutes still a mod? I wonder if he'll take on a mod role or just migrate some where else entirely. He was a good poster loved reading his science posts.
By Fenderputty Go To PostDiscussion sure. Lewd images. No.
LET ME MAKE THE TIDDY THREAD REILO
By Megatherium Go To PostI wanna see updated pictures of Toy Soldier's home.
Was this the guy with all the nude posters on his wall?
By BearNuggets Go To PostSo do people want modding power to be divided somewhat like a democracy?I know one of a few steps they're planning on taking to improve moderation is to have more shades of grey when it comes to reprimanding someone. With the new software they can have warnings, individual thread bans, individual subforum bans, etc. They don't necessarily need to go straight for the steel toed boot site-wide.
I'd really like to know what some folks solution to having moderation better than gaf.
Another thing I read them talk about is great ban transparency. If a user is banned, the reason why will be openly attached to the offending post in public and will be required to not be vague or antagonistic. I once attended a forum that did it this way and it was very successful.
Third, they're considering an actual built-in appeal process.
By MrSaturn99 Go To Postso how's your sister doing these days?
Wait a minute was this the ipad while sleeping but forgot to plug in my headphones guy??? Anybody have the drawing he made?
By ElBoxyBrown Go To PostYou can't hate on Lime's pursuit of exposing America's injustice. Crossing Eden is harmless.Crossing Eden is good people, though I disagree with how adamant he is about booties in video games. Lime is way too woke, he needed to chill sometimes.
By n8 dogg Go To Postbreh this isnt going to workWell this is awkward. At least I won't be confused for the rapper any more.
Also I support Reading (the club, not the ability, well both actually) 😧
By tet666 Go To PostI thought that Twitter account was confirmed fake?
If it is that would suck - being on my phone today makes it hard to sort out a lot of the fake/true stuff and I'm not on the GAF Discord to get the actual updates.
By Silky Go To PostIf this person was intelligent, he would lay low about the development of his forum and let ResetEra take the brunt of the fuckery.He needed GAF. Now he has to repay the debt. He's not pulling a Liam where he's gonna act like he's above it.
But I mean I doubt it. No one really thinks that far.

Please direct me to this thread when up. I look forward to sharing all my fetishes with the rest of Slaent.

Eh...they both came of as extremely condescending and holier than thou, in my opinion. I don't fault them for trying to make the world a better place, but they literally shit on EVERYTHING and made it "problematic" one way or another.
I'm sure other forums have it but Boards.ie have a "Prison Forum" where you can post if you are banned and state your case to an admin. Anyone can read the discussion making the banning process very transparent, also helps to educate people on what to avoid.
Would be good I think if ResetEra had a transparent mod/ban system.

His tag was "you probably jerked off to footage of me" i believe.
By thefro Go To PostWtf, dudebro II is still alive? I thought that bullshit was shelved.
Dudebro II: My Shit is So Vaporware is removing all GAF references and renaming their team.

I once attended a forum that did it this way and it was very successful.Facepunch (Gary's Mod forums, although I use it for TF2) does this and it seems to work well.
Third, they're considering an actual built-in appeal process.
They have the same "don't discuss bans in threads, PM moderators" thing GAF had, but the ban messages on the post themselves help make people less likely to bother the mods. If you see someone made a dumb post in some thread you didn't know they ever posted in, it's a lot better than 2 pages of people wondering what happened.
By thefro Go To PostRenaming themselves seems a little extreme, but removing references to GAF makes sense. It's like tattooing yourself with a band's logo before the singer is arrested for decapitating someone.

Never discussed with Lime.
