@shaanyboi: You won't know who I am but I saw your post on Gaf earlier and it's good seeing some regulars here on GB, glad you're around.

Whew. I was just checking out NeoGAF this morning and it is an absolute trash fire. I don't see it being worth going back to even if they eventually bring back Off Topic because most of the people that made it worthwhile just got banned for reacting as you'd expect. I made my last post on there and moved on. It just sucks to have that community burned down.

That being said, the first place I thought to come to was here at GB, and the first thing I see is a welcome thread! Thank you so much for rolling out the red carpet, it's awesome. I'm excited to get more involved in the GB community!

Mate, the people here have been great. The mods arn't locking this topic and that's probably because GB was in response to another gaming website controversy. Also, users have come in and given user tips multiple times to help us adjust when we critiqued the website.

Hot damn some of these misleading titles are hilarious. This is my favourite:

Title: LTTP: Her story

Content: Pretty believable

@conantheking: yeah... I was there for that. Its actually one of the events that really got me peeved at how moderation was handled on GAF. I was really getting into it with him with game design, and he had a lot to say, but there were just so many who just wouldnt .... They wouldn't acknowledge anything he said, they would quote him, remove all context and nuance from anything he said, and just constantly crap out the same bad faith garbage no matter how he phrased or rephrased what he was saying. It was infuriating... It was infuriating, and the most infuriating part is when I started calling people out on their lousy, bad faith garbage, people, multiple people would quote me and say I needed to chill out, we were arguing on the same 'side' (I was staunchly against everything the order stood for... But seriously, at that point who cares, its not about the stupid game anymore).

There was no particular topic that seemed to be the target for this, it was just how a large group users seemingly defended what they liked, and if you were unfortunate enough to be caught by a group of them.

Moderation on Neogaf had no effective ways of dealing with this that I ever saw.

I feel like the Reset Era statement reflected this with: "Do not declare your fellow member a lost cause before the conversation has had the chance to conclude."

I really hope things change because while posters were not vulgar with their language, the aggression was way too high at times. Whenever someone posted a differing opinion, they would be quoted for pages with comments such as "What/Really?/The fuck is this!?". What's the point of a discussion board if everyone is super dismissive? And I'm not talking about controversial opinions here either, I'm talking stuff like Shinobi liking a flawed game.

I looked at some previous pages and I am surprised to hear about Shinobi being banned. I never had any idea, was it really because he defended Mass Effect? That seems a little extreme...

I remember he defended The Order 1886 and got a lot of aggressive responses.

Just wow at Tyler blaming the lady and saying she has "mental illness".

Feel bad for her, I also saw KotakuInAction also laughing at her. They try to act like they are the victims but they are a vile bunch.

Damn bish is back for the new site

Which makes me wonder, why did he leave NeoGaf in the first place but come back for Reset Era? What changed, Evilore? Did Bish have trouble with him?

What is this based on? Because if it's that Besada account on Twitter, that really looks fake.

I'm not sure. I will admit however that the fact that any e-mail account can sign up really surprised me.

Maybe someone in the discord chat could seek confirmation?

@burncoat: I can imagine. It'll probably be a nightmare for mods on any forum where a large number of gaffers are coming to until this gets sorted.

Can you imagine when the new site starts? I imagine only a handful of accounts will be added each day to allow for easier weeding of negative people coming in. If the new site just accepts everyone day 1 I imagine a lot of GGers will join.
