The ceasefire seems like straight out of the Reagan October surprise playbook and yet politically savvy experts on Ree are blaming Biden.

So political savvy that they forgot how hard Netanyahu was sucking Trump cock for years. And suddenly they believe the Israel’s Press about he being pressured.

[Alpacx]

Aw man all this drama made malds restrict their blue sky.

Now I have to make an account to point n laugh. Thanks guys, geeze

Went to check to see what Melody posted and came across reposted trans manboobs. And then trans Hank Hill ass. Noped out after that

[DavidCroquet]

was the original poster a somebody, or just a burner?

Is this Benji's stealth marketing for the Bire

Or Nep making her play for the throne

The Biden administration was entirely predictable. Trump probably threatened with some crazy shit like nuking Gaza that was bad for both sides.

In Ukraine he's playing the same game. Demanding Ukraine to draft more troops in exchange for much bigger weapon shipments so they can push back the Russians, which is both bad for Russia and Ukraine.

He also has a partner in crime with Mark Rutte, who in typical Dutch directness today told NATO members that they should either spend more on defense or start learning Russian.

A total nobody. 

A drop in the bucket. 

A speck on my ass.

A jobbronie!

Times like this I wished Blewballs stuck around just to see how they react and defend B-Dumbs.

what happens when people upvote (or whatever) a post that is low-key bigoted that we need to ban?

Am I stupid or is this a massive non-issue? If a post breaks the rules, why would a 👍 adjacent to a number be any kind of obstacle?

its significantly harder to gaslight people when the most popular post in a thread is calling out bullshit

[Eric Cartman]

In terms of this, there's only so much we can do on our end. We try our best to be good examples in these threads, though we sometimes fail as humans do, but it needs to be understood that everyone is fighting against the tide of the modern internet. Social media algorithms will actively reward the exact sort of behaviors that you talk about because they're what generates engagement most reliably. Ill-informed hot takes, snarky nonsense, and toxic nonsense are what gets people going viral. This is exactly the sort of thing we've been discussing how to fight internally for literally years now. I remember talking about it way back in like 2019.

You are fucking delusional.

the fact that some of the absolute cuntiest posters on the site are actively shielded from moderation by the moderators is, of course, entirely unrelated

Not if that popular post is BS.

[BIONIC]

What kind of fucking losers spend their free time complaining about a kideo game forum offsite?

[Chudder Barbarity]

Oh, and since sonic is now officially a trans icon, allow me to interject.

The Sonic & Shadow stages of SA2 are the peak of the series, and if sega just released a game that is just another 10 of those it would instantly be hailed as the best 3D sonic game ever, just like they did with mania. of course, for most of their history Sega have been completely retarded, so common sense stuff like that would never happen.

They just did. Last year.

Spoiler: furry nonsense (click to show)(click to hide)

I meant with the momentum based movement, spindash and the tight stage design, not boost to win.

[Taco Bell Tower]

That last one, oof



I saw they deleted something and screen shot it before I read the whole thing

Lol I didn't noticed that til you pointed it out 

[BIONIC]

The rules literally mention you can get actioned for offsite actions and frankly people live in an alternate reality if they think their actions shouldn't have consequences just because they posted something on twitter or whatever.

To me, I treat forums/social media in the same breath as just making sure that you don't post anything that could be taken out of context by your bosses essentially. Don't use the same usernames to create easy paper trails either.

I'm not entirely sure what is going on, but not too uncommon for people to hate moderation of any kind whether it's on a forum or Discord.

Didn't see any of the posts while they were up but I have seen some what I assume they were of. In that I've seen some people on BlueSky venting about moderation practices here. I have a few thoughts about this whole situation.

On one hand, it's easy to view it as a telling sign that the relationship between several longterm members and the staff of Era is so bad that venting needs to be done off-site at all, and at least some of the posts I saw definitely felt like they were coming from a place of legitimate frustration and not feeling like they could express that properly on Era without retaliation. I think this situation is a symptom, not a cause, of the issue.

On the other hand, you kind of completely destroy any potential credibility your argument might have when you then come back here and start spamming/derailing threads with screenshots of "look what ____ said about you". Absolutely childish shit. Nobody over the age of 16 has any excuse for behaving like that. Posting "I can do this all day" gifs about it is also incredibly cringe. You're not leading a rebellion against an oppressive state, you're just ruining threads made by people who have nothing to do with what you're upset about. Come on. All this alt shit on Era is ridiculous to begin with.

[BIONIC]

I'm honestly surprised this is the first I heard of it. Not sure if I even wanna know lol

You genuinely don't, haha. Just let us take care of crap like that.

Yes haha lol, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Let daddy forum janny take care of it for you

[Taco Bell Tower]

Nepenthe, i'm serious.  You always go on about how the forum is ineffective for change.  Now is your chance to impact the world.  Think of all the divesting you could do.  So much divesting.  And the organizin?  Think of all the organizing.  Don't blow this.  B-Dubs is weak.  Finish him off.  NOW.


KING MAKAAAAAAAAH

I’m sorry, nobody is going to do anything. The drama will be kept on discords, any hidden thread interaction will be kept at minimum. ERA current user base is apathetic and the crazy shit stirrers would not risk the minimal power they have for a power play.

best solution would be to just perm all those fruits in that twitter thread and move on. none of them would be missed

[Eric Cartman]

[Nintex]

lol all the sand people still keep yelling Allah Ackbar. It wasn't allah that saved you

[jooseloose]

Fatcunt4cum really thinks he's some sort of martyr.

[Taco Bell Tower]

Off site commentary?  What kind of loser hall monitor bullshit is that

I just noticed the one NepNep perm banned Bruno MB for the tweet on why NepNep is admin is being active on Ree.  Why would you do that, Bruno?

[nachobro]

Fatcunt4cum really thinks he's some sort of martyr.

even the other resettis trying to tell him "no one will care when you get banned dude" and he's not hearing any of it

[Boredfrom]

Lmao now they are turning on Kingdom Come Deliverance because it appears it has LGBT content

That's honestly shocking for me.

Why?  

Way more gay people existed in Medieval Bohemian than Brown.

I have zero sympathy for people now bitching about B-Dumbs and his awful leadership. I bet just about all of them now whining--safely on their BlueSky accounts mind you--spent years defending and propping up B-Dumbs and his admin. They deflected any criticism of Dumbs as being from bitter banned people or "chuds" or Kiwi Farmers.

It was only when B-Dumbs starting banning them or made rules they didn't like when they starting talking back...but only offsite.

The fact that they think that Nepenthe is better.

Nepenthe is better because she'll ban the people they want banned rather than the people bchuds wants banned. Nep is also brave enough to ban ALL the games.

[kaleidoscopium]

Nepenthe is better because she is trans by virtue of being non binary when convenient. B dubs can fix all of this with a bad wig and shaving his face.

[Hap Shaughnessy]

They just have to try and collect outstanding debts and he'll refuse to show up.

What do they say?

[Boredfrom]

Wait? Sonic fans are now CHUD adjacent because they shit on Mufasa.  

I thought it was a chud thing because....Disney so I really ignored it and made a point in never looking in the direction of any youtuber talking about that shit.

I wouldn't have looked myself, except to understand what my friend's son was going on about. Anti-disney stuff tends to pretend it's about the 'quality' of something they made, but really just complaints about women, woke, the destruction of the world of men or some nonsense to rile up their idiot fanbase. Crazy sonic fans exist on anther plane of existence.

Do not.

EDIT: Internal discussions are on-going. But, considering history, we are very sensitive to any sort of changes made to this OT. So just bare with us a bit. But we do hear you.

That's….kindof frank?

As I said, I have plenty of experience and I'm happy to do it; if you have some guidelines you'd like me to follow then just let me know and that would be fine to stick to.

Sorry — I just saw that post, immediately got heart palpitations over the memory of what the report queue used to look like because of this OT, and typed the first form of "NO FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOOOOOOP!!!!" I could think of. 😂😩

Like I said, this OT has been a pretty good place since some changes were made. We're not opposed to more changes, but we're moving very cautiously/slowly. Give us a little grace for a sec.

Sure thing boss!

I'm off to bed now anyways

Mr. Snuffleupagus has been banned for something else.

User Banned (2 Weeks): Conspiracy Theorizing

it still seems like more than Biden's admin even attempted.

Trump was sabotaging Biden. I mean, I think Biden was also doing a poor job, but Trump was telling Netanyahu not to do shit until he regained power.
