new plan:

- post the evidence that musk specifically allowed far right twitter accounts to use as many slurs as they want, which he is furiously deleting as fast as it goes up

- in the same post as this info, also post all the screenshots that b-dubs is furiously deleting as fast as it goes up

- make sure these two dumps are never posted without each other

Oh. Just like you and me? Haha. Ok.

He's still a private citizen, not a god-king.
Seriously, get off your knees and wipe the orange grease from around your mouth, you're embarrassing yourself.
You'll have at least 4 more years to prostrate yourself.

Mr. Snuffleupagus has been banned for something else.

No ban message on any of his latest posts (only looked 3 pages in). B-Dubs throwing a tantrum.

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.

BS that was a conspiracy theory, there were a lot of articles speculating this with sources, I remember that ERA had a thread about it.

Dude has been banned a few times recently for """mod-whining""" aka the mods don't like him for pointing out facts. He's probably on thin ice and close to a perm at this point.

[kaleidoscopium]

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

What do they say?

Malds was threatening to throw a brick through cops windows and threatening people with trans rights, whatever that threat means

Just a friendly reminder that we also have a discord in case things go south

Not that I think things have a reason to go south

It's kind of wholesome, the way the various Discord factions can all come together to hate B-Lore.

Hey Beef! 

[Nintex]

Will they make it to inauguration day?

[nachobro]

They really want a revolution but none of them can make a forum and none of the actual userbase cares.

Just see all those response to prof queef no one cares nerds, go make your own gay forum for yourselves if you really care that much

[BIONIC]

Our goal is to maintain a space where everyone (users and staff alike) feels welcome, respected, and safe. To achieve this, we have clear policies in place designed to foster fairness and mutual respect. These policies apply universally, regardless of who you are interacting with.

One critical aspect of this commitment is how we handle conduct that occurs off-site. While we primarily moderate what happens within our platform, off-site actions that directly harm individuals in our community or create a hostile atmosphere for them cannot be ignored.

Specifically, accusations or insinuations of a deeply harmful nature—such as suggesting someone is a pedophile—are entirely unacceptable. These kinds of statements, whether made here or elsewhere, cause immense distress and damage to someone's reputation and well-being. Let me be clear: whether these comments are directed at a staff member or another user, such behavior is strictly prohibited. Users engaging in such conduct will face immediate consequences, up to and including permanent bans.

It's also important to note that inflammatory commentary of this nature, even when made offsite, reflects the character of the poster. Those who engage in such behavior are not, nor will they ever be, welcome in our community. This is not simply a matter of where such statements are made; it is about the values we uphold and the kind of environment we are building together.

If expressing inflammatory sentiments is important to a user, then this is not the right community for them. There are other places on the internet that allow such behavior, and we strongly encourage those who wish to participate in it to find a platform more aligned with their interests.

I have a doubt: that clearly wasn't the case of those screenshots, but isn't very easy for people to pretend to be Era users elsewhere to get them banned or just stir shit up? I think it has happened before

Absolutely people could pretend to be another user to stir shit up. It's typically why I am personally not swayed by screen shots and prefer actual links so more analysis of the situation can take place.

Someone use one of the Nintex email burners and post screenshots of ColdSun's gameplay of the Wizard Game

The same Coldsun that played Hogwarts TERF game?!

It will be 8 years this October that ResetEra has existed; we were deep into the 1st Trump Presidency, the Switch had released a few months' prior, we were pre-COVID...times were (ever so slightly) less crazy. But times change, people change, communities change.

Currently, over on the Constructive Community Discussion 2024 thread, there is an ongoing discussion with regards to the atmosphere of the forum as a whole, how to improve it, how to improve posting quality, reduce snark/drivebys and so on. If you have time, I recommend you give it a read through!

With that in mind, I feel that before addressing those issues, we would be best suited to understand as a community why we as individuals come here, as varying reasons for visiting the site may illicit varying responses for how best to 'improve' the forum as a whole.

I've tried to include the 'main/most common' reasons that one may want to give, though if you would like to provide your response and expand upon it, then please be my guest!
I've also done Single choice voting, to encourage users to select a primary response, but again please feel free to follow-up with secondary drivers!

https://www.resetera.com/threads/community-question-why-are-you-here.1082268/page-2#post-134296902

As has been mention before, meta threads tend to not go well and is why we don't really allow them.

Congrats!

Good job, ResetEra folks. We did it.

Let's see the mod discord then

I'm sorry. But I have my doubts about that unfortunately.

That would be fantastic, but that's clearly not true, as has been demonstrated time and again. I don't envy your jobs at all, and I obviously realize it's not at all easy to do what y'all do on a daily basis, but as I said, it's not like all of this slander is without merit or prior context.

I'm heading out to do some errands after this post, so forgive a delay in any future follow-ups:




If people can't control themselves and literally not call other users pedophiles because they have entirely unrelated grievances, then again, they have no place here; nor do their defenders

Shoot calling out Kaitos for their incorrect take. DESERVED!

SHOOT SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN BANNED!

Yeah, sure. You killed a man for calling a moderator unfit for the position, but a greasy furry gets to shit on you from above for free. Universally applied my buttocks.

They're focusing on the B-Dumbs/Amir0x comparison to use it as an excuse to dismiss all criticism. Same tactic they used to defend purging PoliERA last year. One person out of over 2 dozen users admitted to briefly going to Kiwi Farms, and B-Dumbs and crew used that to justify everything they did.

ok bitch now reconcile that with this



"we're perma banning you from era because you said shit off site and we know it was you"

"those screenshots aren't real because it could be anyone pretending"

[Nintex]

Yeah, I do worry and still do. I'm also happy this deal happened and I credit Trump. I also stand by that post, so.

[Ethan]

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

They had a thread in the forum about this being the case months before this.

Trump may be on something in trying to appeal to the bitter antiestablishment Bernie bros, if they are this easy to please.

Case in point:

I wonder if liberals will ever do any introspective on why people appear to be moving to the right? Maybe everyone realizes the system is fundamentally broken and only side is even trying to propose changes to it?

I'm surprised this thread didn't get more traction here today. Nep, Kiyamet, JeffMarvel, Booshka, ...they're all there...rehashing the same old shit.

We did get captivating political commentary from EntremetGPT though

Biden did good things with the legislative acts and judgeships, but his Gaza stance will set back Dems for a long time. No idea was Joe was thinking here.
