I need a good twist. Let it turn out that Nepenthe banned Shoot because she didn't like the way he agreed with her

[Bootsthecat]

I’ve been away. Has the show been better this season?

They were absolutely reatard before, and they are similarly retarded now. Did you expect a change?

[Uncle]

I’ve been away. Has the show been better this season?

your previous post before "being away" was last night

We don’t headmate shame on the bire, shitlord

[Boredfrom]

Absolutely wild that this post warranted a ban, especially in context of the disgusting things said by Clinton.

Guess we should just lay down and swallow our anger when an ex president shits on your people and shames you into accepting a fucking genocide.

Arabs? Muslims? Or Palestines?

Fucking bitch ass fake Arab/Muslim unity.

[Averon]

That was most definitely a B-Dumbs ban as he made clear he hates the "burn it all down" type of leftist.

I guess B-Dubs knows how bad it would look to ban Nepenthe after his previous blow up so he went after Shoot instead.

Bdubs, you have zero fucking backbone.

User Banned (3 Days): Modwhining

[Nintex]

Disgraceful that they were banned for this message.

I don't agree with vote withholding but like, that ban feels heavy handed.

it's a shame that something like this is deemed inflammatory, what a disgrace to era.

that ban's a load of shit

I would really like to know this as well but we already know pro-Palestinian posters have the shortest leash. So frustrating.

You're not allowed to make squishy liberals uncomfortable.

What a joke of a site, I'm out

What the fuck is that ban? Shoot agreed with an administrator of all people with a single innocuous paragraph and gets banned for a month?

What in the genuine fuck with that ban

Keep banning us mods, eventually when there's no head, you won't have a headache. At least people are slowly realizing how white liberal this site is trying to be. This fucken site.

I mean it's clear what happening but I guess voicing the obvious is now banable?

Whoever did this ban... you really are proving the point that Democrats are ready to throw Muslims under the bus for not towing the line and supporting genocide at all costs as long as the blue team wins.

really sucks being a brown muslim here.

Great message being sent to Muslim era there…

Just looking for an excuse to ban Shoot I see. Advocated too loudly for the Palestinians. Absolute joke.

The site is owned by Capitalists. If we rock the boat politically we're gonna get banned.

And why did the ban jump right over the specific levels of infractions we can see at the bottom of the page? Does Shoot have a history of being banned in Politics threads since those new rules came in?

Fuck this ban.

my friend this is an extremely niche tech and gaming oriented American website, white liberal might as well be the tagline of this place lmao

Yeah, I expect another mass exodus from the site. And I don't blame any MENA user for leaving either.

The sheer lack of empathy displayed towards brown Era users has made it abundantly clear they're not welcome here.

Moderation on this site has been a joke for a long time, don't really care if I catch a ban for saying so

They about to lock this thread under the pretense of back seat modding now that everybody is talking about the ban.

After watching Dubs tell Nepenthe to fuck off/shut up not long back, all bets are off and Shoots ban is unsurprising. Era is not a leftist space. At least the election is almost over and everyone can go back to pretending they give a shit in a couple weeks.

That's a fucking wild ban. Woof.

Finding it difficult to understand that ban tbh

Anyway, I hate the idea that the democratic party can't hold trump to account on the Epstein shit because then they'd have to toss Bill on the fire too. Fuckin do it anyway, they earned the fire.

Bdumbs is still getting roasted

Hard to have a mass exodus when there’s only 5 people

name one, I will find you a dozen people there screeching that it's not a leftist space either

[Nintex]

I really can't wait for election day. I want to see how MI turns out at this rate the Muslim American community might as well tell both candidates to go fuck themselves after what Bill Clinton said yesterday

[Venice]

That was most definitely a B-Dumbs ban as he made clear he hates the "burn it all down" type of leftist.

Almost certainly B-Dumbs living up to his Bore nickname.

The meltdowns are SO good, I'm gonna quote them all for my fellow Boreans. Nothing better than reading an Admin/Moderator pile-on from dumbass Era users who can't do nothing about it 

Disgraceful that they were banned for this message

that ban's a load of shit

(What an amazing, thought-provoking analysis)

Shoot has been pretty relentless creating threads and updating on the genocide just lately, would be a terrible shame if others were to continue to do so in his absence.

coldsagging = shit-stirrer 

What is "inflammatory" about this post?

You're not allowed to make squishy liberals uncomfortable.

(That's gonna hit B-Dumbs right in the feels  )

What a joke of a site, I'm out

(Bullshit, Cobbles, you'll be back posting within an hour)

What the fuck is that ban? Shoot agreed with an administrator of all people with a single innocuous paragraph and gets banned for a month?

So now Shoot conveniently can't even comment until long after the election, they didn't say anything one of the top mods here wasn't saying (which I fully agree with) and who said it in much stronger terms, but you're going to take it out on, what, the person lower on the totem pole?

I'm not sure what I'm actually seeing here.

really sucks being a brown muslim here.

(Sucks even more being a brown Muslim in the Gaza Strip)

Great message being sent to Muslim era there…

Shoot ADVOCATED TOO LOUDLY FOR NEPENTHE, DUMBASS.

The site is owned by Capitalists. If we rock the boat politically we're gonna get banned.

(It's almost as if MOBA bought ResetEra as a business investment to return profits, and not as a Jihadist-central talking hub)

And why did the ban jump right over the specific levels of infractions we can see at the bottom of the page? Does Shoot have a history of being banned in Politics threads since those new rules came in?

(Because B-Dumbs is a cowardly pussy)

Fuck this ban.

(Go get 'em, tiger)

I don't get it.

I mean I really don't.

The only thing I can muster up as far as vague empathy here is that the mod who banned Shoot did so because it's right before the election, they want "good vibes" (this sentiment is very common in the Poli thread), they can't very well ban Nepenthe because that would be banning or at least demodding not only just a mod but an admin, but even more one of only like ten posters here who consistently has something useful and interesting to say.

So go after the next, best person, I guess? It's very confusing. But what a terrible look, at the minimum, especially with zero transparency.

(So, Zeilard... you DO get it!)

Moderation on this site has been a joke for a long time, don't really care if I catch a ban for saying so

(Such bravery, zooj, such bravery)

You fucking pussies with you're empty threats. You ain't going a-n-y-w-h-e-r-e.

Not deleting my post. So here's some jiggly boobs to compensate:

[Shecky Fragbaum]

Just catching up here. So if we're calibrating the TOS then I'll weigh in:

Generally speaking I'm pro-free expression and anti-censorship. That having been said...there hasn't been a really good reason to use any of the classic "slurs"in quite some time. Most of the radioactive ones are that way for a pretty good reason, and the recent additions...it's just a matter of risk-reward in my opinion.  "Read the room" is a pretty good ROE.

Even before this current age of hypersensitivity was visited upon us, I had settled upon a fairly trustworthy strategy for online discourse: attack the argument, not the speaker.  Personalities clash, trends fade, but logic persists.  That was my guiding principle.  And if I stuck to it, I was bulletproof  

Then, 2014 happened.  Discourse changed.  Logic changed. 

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

The definition of praxis changed 

There's nothing wrong with gathering here and shining a light on loonies who are trying to, among solving other Gordian knots,  guilt the West into burning itself down on behalf of its legion of adversaries  (some of whom who would glady reward their otherwise  Unapologetically Queer allies' contributions to the Fall™ with complimentary neck rides on a 10 story crane [but y'all ain't ready for that conversation]).

Tl/DR:

Just quote em and never ever let em off the hook; no need to prove them right on a dare.

Shut up faggot

*gasp* My first harassment campaign! 

On National Scented Candle Day of all days.  

It's all so tiring.

I want to see the what women are wearing in my vidya thread on the antisemite era offshoot forum

[Taco Bell Tower]

I need a good twist. Let it turn out that Nepenthe banned Shoot because she didn't like the way he agreed with her

I think it would be better if she misread it and thought he was disagreeing with her 

[Jansen]

really sucks being a brown muslim here.

Log out and don't come back? Or make Muslim era? either way just don't come back 

[Jansen]

Zeliard all you do is whine about ERA... Stop posting there???

[Jansen]

then act like they're brave and consistent, even when everyone else knows they're moral cowards.

Bionic, where are you? I need someone to check constructive!

This!! I’m sure there are meltdowns happening in there. Nep still hasn’t commented on shoots ban 

[FEUER FREI.]

lol they hounding b-cucked across forum

[malfoyking]

Why are they celebrating that Dragon Age ccu number so much? Sure its a good number but its also a piss poor ccu number for an aaa RPG game with a well-known name. Space Marine 2 which is not well know Is doing over 100k for early access and dragon age goty 2014 might just break over 100k? Thats somehow some amazing we owned the chuds number?

Do they not know that they too do the same things the chuds do?

[Jansen]

B-Dubs put down the rebellion NOW 

[BIONIC]

Donate to my Ko-Fi, white devil

Can a member of staff explain the reasoning behind this ban please? A ban is excessive but one whole month? Is the intent to chase out another minority group?

Post in thread 'Bill Clinton campaigning for Harris in Michigan. Makes offensive comments in attempt to court Palestinian voters.'

Seconding this.

Yeah thirding. It really difficult not to draw conclusions from this based on how things are at the moment.

And even if the ban were valid, the punishment doesn't seem to be in line with the specific rules for infractions at the bottom of US politics threads (including that very thread).

I’m sure this dude can just make a load of excuses and call it an apology and he’ll be fine, right [USER=143]B-Dubs[/USER]

Ah no wait, this poster actually said nothing wrong rather than a misogynistic rant, and he’s not one of the chosen few, so he’s fucked.

Fuck this place, im gone.

A user who puts effort into keeping users informed about the genocide in Gaza being banned is certainly a look

They're inarguably one of the most important posters on this site. What an enlightening situation.

I wonder how long we're going to have to wait for a response to this after last time people had to basically beg for a response from the general manager of the website after his blowup for almost two weeks.

If we're lucky, it might even be acknowledged before the next big faux pas comes up. A backlog is starting to grow at this rate.

Feels like another exodus is on the cards, nothing has been learned from the previous times communities were chased off. You can only do this so many times before there’s a mass exit from this community.

I'm speechless. Moderation has officially lost the plot entirely.

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

This is really it.

Progressive votes are "guaranteed" because liberalism is technically closer to the far left than Republican-esque conservatism is. The fact that many far leftists are minorities is further icing on the cake. "Who the fuck else are you going to vote for? That's what I thought." That's their attitude.

But those sweet, sweet white centrists and independents? People who are so fucking comfortable regardless of who is in office that they can literally go decades of their lives without having a single cogent political thought in their fucking skulls? People who are so divorced from the realities and consequences of capitalism that some of them don't realize anymore that fruit grows on trees versus being manufactured on an assembly line? People who will vote Republican because they just really would like to have a beer with the clean cut fascists?

Ironically, it is their willingness to sometimes not vote for Democrats that gives them power and favor. Through sheer ineptitude and incompetence, they're making the case that threatening to withhold your vote works in terms of getting a party to actually pay some fucking attention to you. But they don't get treated as shit as Black and Brown people do because liberals are also racist and thus expect us to fall in line no matter how many Cop Cities they install and how many genocides they support

This post is it. This is why we withhold our vote and this is why white liberal crocodile tears will not sway us. If everything will burn around us as a result let it all burn. That threat is the only power we have and we will use it.

User banned (1 month): Inflammatory commentary

Dubs Neeson strikes again

How is it not inflammatory? When Resetera have made it a point for months to say there is a trans genocide and LGBT individuals are at risk if Trump were to win the election. Posting "Let it all burn" is admitting that you, as the poster, do not care about what will happen to the LGBT community. It's rich for Shoot to talk about crocodile tears when that's exactly what HamasEra is doing in the thread right now crying about their "unjust" ban.

This is what posters like Clicky are talking about when they say their lives are at risk and no one cares.

[Nintex]

The meltdown is 4 days too soon?!


Under Budget
Ahead of Schedule

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

It takes 3 mods to ban. Why hasn't Nep named them if she's for the people?
