Support NeoGAF

[Astarte]

Not only that: he banned tenumi when tenumi critized his statement. And absolutely childish:

oh

 

[PBY]

Because people like his/her videos which, with the exception of that one moment in that one video, has nothing to do with his personal beliefs.

Lol okay.

 

[Raptomex]

Yes there's proof, and it's by far not the only time Evilore banned someone because they had a disagreement.

Oh, I believe he placed the ban, but where's the proof in the screen shot? I think someone here stated there's a log of bans that the staff has access to. But I was curious if there's proof to members besides the obvious which I don't see in the screen shot (i.e. "banned by EvilLore"). I could be missing it, though.

 

[NoHeDidn't]

I mean our president the leader of our country is a piece of shit and I still live in the U.S and love it.As far as the "alt right" they should'nt have ever been allowed to fester and spread in Neogaf as long as they did.

I just wanna talk games and get info on games man I mean where else will I find a community like this.

 

[17 Seconds]

And this proves the other allegations... how?

you are just so low

All the big posters you likely like left for other forums though, so what are you staying for exactly?

 

[Glass Shark]

I can't believe that GAF had a significant alt-right sleeper cell just waiting to be activated.

I also can't believe that Evilore just ripped pages straight from the MRA red-pill playbook for his response.

No one of value will stay here. It's already becoming a cesspit. My advice: get out as fast as you can.

Remember last week when EviLore told someone "Fuck off, dipshit" in an OT thread saying we should believe women when they make sexual assault claims?

This was inevitable.

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

Trial by internet isn't something I agree with.

 

[SuperBanana]

"Allegedly"

Opening admitting to sexually assaulting someone(then banning anyone who called him out for it)

Posting revenge porn with their real full names then another admin(a now jailed pedophile) printed the photos and jacked off over them and sent it to the boyfriend.

You're right, how can we even know if he's guilty or not? HMMMM

umm, the alt-right is just getting here. have fun with them.

 

[Musky_Cheese]

really sick of people saying that shutting down hate speech and generally alt-right fuckery is merely a "social disagreement"

Not everyone who received a ban was hate speaking. And not everyone who doesn't agree with the very far left is far right either.

To the folks saying resetera isn't from the old Gaf mods, sorry but that was from a number of different sites. If it's not true then ok.

 

[ShemhazaiX]

So is new OT not going to allow news articles? Old OT was basically where I got a lot of world news from and was really interesting. Will be a shame if so.

With regards to everything else, meh. End of the day what ever happened, happened. I don't come to NeoGAF because I care what the guy up top does, I come because it's pretty much the only gaming site I know that moderates well enough that I don't have to see people dropping N bombs all over the place and resorting to flat out name calling.

 

[Username1198]

Nah. They're just sex objects.

Not only that: he banned tenumi when tenumi critized his statement. And absolutely childish:

Holy hell

 

[prag16]

It isn't a "purity test." It's a very short term solution to getting people in while also trying to keep trolls out. It's a logical decision.

There are literally people on Voat and 4chan compiling the names of people in the Discord to try and harass them.

God damn. Well. Those guys are off to a great start.

 

[lefty1117]

I'm just here for the gaming discussion. The courts will decide guilt or innocence, if it even goes that far. As far as inappropriate bans and modding - are you coming here to argue with people or are you coming here to talk about games? I suspect removing Off Topic will result in a precipitous decline in bannings, once the rage-wave clears out.

 

[AIP]

From what has been announced, this is not the case. The core administration team are not the mods that recently stepped down. They did reach out to former mods to advise on setting up, and from what I've gathered, more transparency about why bans are handed out are a central plank of their stated direction.

Thanks for the answer.

Nope, you can't know unless another mod tells you. It was always anonymous.

 

[Churrasco]

Yes. Not harshly jumping to conclusions with little material evidence is low.

 

[shoelacer]

And this proves the other allegations... how?

"So what if he posts revenge porn and grabs asses? He isn't a creep till we get video footage from a GoPro in the shower from that night!"

 

[Portugeezer]

During my work break, I do miss OT, sometimes there would be an interesting thread to read or happenings in the world.

 

[Saya]

So is new OT not going to allow news articles? Old OT was basically where I got a lot of world news from and was really interesting. Will be a shame if so.

From the OP:

However, the focus will be on the many other hobbies we may have like TV, movies, anime, writing, music, etc. Political and social discourse will not be allowed in the new Off-Topic.

So, I guess 80% if not more of the (world) news articles will not be allowed.

 

[17 Seconds]

Yes. Not harshly jumping to conclusions with little material evidence is low.

THERE IS A PATTERN OF DISGUSTING BEHAVIOR, YOU JUST ARE UNWILLING TO ADMIT IT

Ha, the gaming side is basically an exclusive version of GameFAQs.

And this proves the other allegations... how?

He admitted to it with the "she's crazy, she loved me but couldn't have me, you had to be there" qualifiers.

 

[Doukou]

We have conclusive evidence.
We don’t need court to baby feed us logic.

 

[Dishwalla]

Yeah, this isn't going to work. Thanks for killing what was a good community though.

My position hasn't changed, this forum is a dumpster fire and it's never going to move past this. I knew the Amir0x scandal was going to be a difficult hurdle to come back from, but this is a fucking brick wall in the middle of Daytona International Speedway with the cars hurdling 200 mph towards it. You realize that don't you? NeoGAF is done, there is no going back to normal.

Just want to say thanks to all the people here that shared insightful posts and taught me more things than I ever could've dreamed I would have wanted to know. Had lots of fun, spent lots of time in arguments, learned a lot, laughed a lot, and wasted a lot more time than I should have surfing this site at my place of work.

So, that's it. I'm taking my Maren Morris avatar and I am out of here. Please change my tag from the one defending Boise State University's blue football field to "banned", because unlike the BSU football program, I do not have any pride whatsoever in this site.

Go fuck yourself Tyler "Evilore" Malka.

 

[Chariot]

That is awful. But I am curious, do we actually know it was EL who banned Tenumi? I'm not defending his behavior and it most likely was him but I'm curious if there's any way to know who banned you outside of downright stating who it is in the ban message?

He did. First of all I messaged a mod about this:

And he was forced to lift the ban, after people got very upset. That's why I am wondering why I am seemingly the only one who remembers. It was the even that made the excellent @NeoGAFShitPosts quit.

 

[pixelation]

That's because they left the rest of the community to die on some hill. Not a good look for a place that wants to be "inclusive".

Evilore, its good to be back. 18 more years.

Just as smart as that... thing you have for an avatar!

Yep. We should have seen the writing on the wall that if Tyler malka can’t have something nice, no one can. He’s going to ride this thing into the ground (kinda like how he gaslights everything that he feels threatened by). Poor guy. Wonder if his kickboxing training makes him feel more confident when he goes out in public after this.

Can’t wait for Pachter’s analysis on this shot show.

 

[DVCY201]

To the folks saying resetera isn't from the old Gaf mods, sorry but that was from a number of different sites. If it's not true then ok.

Things are fluid and changing, so a lot of information is outdated already. Wait until the site is up and functional; everything should be more clear by then.

 

[Churrasco]

We have conclusive evidence.
We don’t need court to baby feed us logic.

Yes, let's just assume the guy is guilty of everything because he posted some stuff.

God, I hope you never serve in a jury

 

[Raptomex]

Nope, you can't know unless another mod tells you. It was always anonymous.

So there really is no proof unless somebody who knows (or did it) tells you. Whose to say many of these bans weren't from lurking moderators? My assumption is that's not the case but I can't prove that either.
EDIT:

He did. First of all I messaged a mod about this:

And he was forced to lift the ban, after people got very upset. That's why I am wondering why I am seemingly the only one who remembers. It was the even that made the excellent @NeoGAFShitPosts quit.

Ok, so that's proof. I was just curious.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Yes. Not harshly jumping to conclusions with little material evidence is low.

(By the way, the court also gets things wrong sometimes. Unless you think OJ is innocent.)

 

[Neece]

From the OP:

Most of everything won’t be allowed, including interviews and reviews that have social issues at their core.

For instance, would OT be allowed to discuss the comments James Cameron made about Wonder Woman? Seems like no.

 

[Galang]

Not only that: he banned tenumi when tenumi critized his statement. And absolutely childish:

Wow..

 

[AALLx]

It's ironic how posters who kept using the term alt-right and nazi on anyone who doesn't agree with them find offense in the terms social justice warrior and echo chamber without seeing the hypocrisy of it all. Also funny how they've rendered the term meaningless as they apply it even to moderates. Anyone other than them is now an alt-right; right, definitely not an echo chamber.

You complain about hypocrites using alt -right but being offended by echo chamber.
Then you use echo chamber.
Maybe you are the hypocrite?

I thought we getting OT back soon?? But no politics or social topics? Noooooooooooo

Do you have a list of users/examples that demonstrates this? Or are you just pulling it out of thin air?

i always wonder... do people like you actually think you're right? or do you know that you're full of shit, and you simply don't care?

Right? How do you even ban "social" discussions. It's madness.

 

[AALLx]

Well, if you've actually browsed literally anywhere else on the internet outside of gaf, you'd probably know that those buzzwords are more common than "alt-right", which I've only ever read here in gaf.

 

[Billy_Pilgrim]

The worst part about all of this is that I managed to get Mario Odyssey today and I have nowhere to gloat.

 

[AALLx]

Do you have a list of users/examples that demonstrates this? Or are you just pulling it out of thin air?

Have you even read through the thread?

 

[Nokagi]

I see GamerGate dudes on Twitter celebrating the downfall of "sjw NeoGAF" and I see Gaffers leaving claiming this is a new haven for GameGate. These sure are interesting times...

 

[NoHeDidn't]

All the big posters you likely like left for other forums though, so what are you staying for exactly?

Like I said I just wanna talk games and get new info but yea obviously this place is in a downfall and I'll just avoid it for the foreseeable future.Maybe in the future it can recoup but if anyone can point me to where this eden of gaming discussion is please lmk.

 

[shoelacer]
