Biggest thing is you should only be using one adblocker at a time. Firefox + uBlock Origin is a very reliable combo, just don't use Ghostery or other crap like that with it.

People who are upset at just probation are missing the forest for the trees. You don't hit the low level drug traffickers when the kingpin is still available. The only people we are interested in seeing justice for are the people on top. Trump and his inner circle need to go down as harshly as possible. The lower level grunts testifying against the higher level ones is better for the prosecution, and also hides the prosecution's case better against Trump and his attorneys. I have no issues with this plea deal.
The defense will have access to basically all evidence the prosecution plans to use at trial, but otherwise this so hard. We want the kingpin, not the street pusher.

Maybe these sites shouldn't advertise frauds, that lies about their products. However they don't take action on them, so people should be allowed to use Ad Blocker.

They should stop targeting people using Ad Blocker and figure out why people use Ad Blocker and target those frauds, that don't stop lying about their product.
That would require actual effort, not to mention admissions of bad practices, on the part of rich people. Why do that when you can just try to annoy boomer Karen whose son just installed ABP?

Requiring an internet connection for single player is just dumb though, if/when I get it that's the first thing I'm modding out.

They needed to do what twitch creators doing with Twitch, just make alternative.

it was a mistake trying to save Reddit . Just move the community somewhere else where the Reddit admin cant do crap.
That's the problem though, the exact reason why Reddit is "better" than its alternatives is because its userbase is so massive, so it can support niche communities way better than other forums can.

The only thing Reddit actually has going for it is its massive userbase.

The format of Reddit is terrible for any kind of actual discussion or interaction. It has its uses as a news/porn/article/etc. aggregator, but that's literally it. The voting system turns most subs into echo chambers because posts that are unpopular with a sub's users get downvoted into oblivion (regardless of how valid their points are). That basically leaves Reddit useful for collecting different articles or whatever in one place, and for niche topics that don't have enough users to turn into the shitshow that most larger subs are.

tl;dr Reddit is a trash platform that's only saved by the size of its userbase. Same deal with Facebook incidentally.

I'd hesitate to even call it a forum lol. But it is pretty insane how such a large userbase ended up being the trade-off for all of Reddit's myriad flaws.

They're very clearly banking on the same thing Twitter did - participants would be too addicted to the feedback loop of algorithmically driven content to abandon the platform. (Something Reddit's predecessor pulled the cord on far too early.) I hate that they'll probably end up succeeding on their gamble the same way that Twitter has.
I called it a "forum" because it has all the basic characteristics of a forum even if it's not a pure forum like GFAQs is.

But it all makes sense if you think about it. Pretty much every "good" platform is good because of how massive its userbase is, not because it's actually putting out a quality product.

And I do think Reddit is different from Twitter in one key sense: Reddit's executives are running it into the ground for pure profit (why spend money to fix it when users still cling to it), while Musk is bleeding Twitter dry so he and his ilk can have the alt-right echo chamber they always dreamed of, since Truth Social and all the other right wing networks have nowhere near enough users to be viable long-term.

Btw, there is no argument here. It's just you whining that you want this board to be exclusive to people that only you approve of so you can "be productive".

You're probably just better off using the block and ignore features, that way you can curate your experience on the site to suit your needs without being so toxic to people you personally don't like.

What should the minimum karma be to access CE?








For those who don't know, CE's Level requirement was raised to 30 today, at least for now as a temporary measure. This is in reference to SBAllen's post, linked below.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/400-current-events/80445579

The simple answer is, because the vast majority of low-karma accounts on CE are only here to cause trouble. We have any number of habitual troublemakers who just make new alts every time they get banned (SMaL, catboy, duncan, goats, Tails82, 462, buttsage/LivingLegend, VioletMassacre to name a few), and frankly, the board is much better off without them.

While I agree that the occasional troll topic or shitpost can be entertaining, it's just not fun (or productive) to have the board flooded by users with 3 Karma and 150 active posts who get suspended within a couple hours. We've all been here long enough that the hot takes just aren't funny anymore when we're seeing dozens of them a day, sometimes in the same topic.

And with the low Karma requirement, there's basically no consequences at all for users' actions. There's no reason to bother not getting accounts in trouble when users can freely make new accounts and be active on the board again in less than half a week. While low Karma requirements make sense for game boards, where people just make accounts to ask questions and they're more heavily policed to begin with, CE is almost 100% long-time GameFAQs vets, the vast majority of whom come here daily. Having to go almost two months without access to the board is a much more serious deterrent to misbehavior for CE's userbase than just the current slap on the wrist of a 3-day time out.

Also, as to users moving to other socials...personally, I would make all the socials be at least a month's worth of karma, though I could see making RI's requirements a little looser than CE's, just to give the two boards different purposes.
