If you have some examples, I can look into it. --- "Um, let's face it, you'd be better off staying at the Hilton." http://facebook.com/GFAQS | http://twitter.com/GameFAQs |
| Topic | The MAGA board is now closed down |
| SBAllen 01/08/21 1:47:08 PM #95 | The board was locked down relatively quickly after the terrorist attack on the Capitol. We didn't wipe out the board completely because it would make moderation of posts on the board impossible. The board was first simply locked down to keep the content accessible for the moderation staff. Since we didn't really have a protocol for such things, our tools to lock it down weren't perfect, so users could still be invited in. We'll be working on our CB tools in case something like this ever happens again in the future. Today, we've made manual edits to the board to keep all users out so we can still see the posts for moderation purposes but for all intents and purposes, it's all gone. To answer a few questions I saw while skimming the topic. Why did we allow a MAGA board in the first place? When the board was first created, the group and name were certainly different than they are today. We also generally try to stay politically neutral when possible, so it seemed fitting to allow a pro-Trump/conservative board at the time. As things escalated over the years, we did have to step in a few times and get the board back in line, but there weren't any more posts on that board in particular vs the rest of the site that were inciting violence or celebrating it, and those users were handled unilaterally. After the terrorist attack on the Capitol and the fact that there were celebratory posts about it (all users of which were indeed banned), the board could no longer be justified. Is it fair to ban a conservative board? Is that GameFAQs taking a political stand? It is not. Our political beliefs are never taken into account when handling site moderation. When a group is tied to terrorism, regardless of political spectrum, we aren't going to allow there to be a board for that group. Why didn't GameFAQs post a BLM statement when the other ViacomCBS sites did? We were told not to, and that a post would be made on all sites. For reasons unknown to me, that message was not pushed to GameFAQs. I don't know if there was a technical error or if they just forgot to include us since we're on a sub-domain, but the fact of the matter is that I was explicitly told to let the company make the statement and they failed to do so. I'm not sure how political RV wants its product managers to be, but to be brief and upfront about it, I have been and always will be very pro-BLM. I'm leaving it at that. If you have any other questions, I can try to answer them quickly, but I have a lot on my plate today so I can't monitor this topic all day and reply to it. --- "Um, let's face it, you'd be better off staying at the Hilton." http://facebook.com/GFAQS | http://twitter.com/GameFAQs |
| Topic | Homework: go through your stuff and donate some clothes |
| SBAllen 01/06/21 5:01:39 PM #2 | We did our yearly purge of clothes we don't wear and clothes that don't fit the kids anymore back at the beginning of December. Honestly I don't understand how people don't do this? More closet space and you get to help people in need? Seems like a win win to me. --- "Um, let's face it, you'd be better off staying at the Hilton." http://facebook.com/GFAQS | http://twitter.com/GameFAQs |
| Topic | Do Not Sell My Information |
| SBAllen 12/22/20 2:47:05 PM #12 | EvilResident posted... So I need to submit my info in order for it not to be sold ?We don't sell your info. That verbiage is dictated by CCPA. I suppose you could look at it as "If you ever were to sell personal info, you can't sell mine." Note that we don't have any intention of doing so. I can't imagine anyone would want to buy the meager info we collect from our users, anyway. --- "Um, let's face it, you'd be better off staying at the Hilton." http://facebook.com/GFAQS | http://twitter.com/GameFAQs |

| SBAllen 12/22/20 12:29:35 PM #9 | It's a CCPA compliance thing. We've had it the entirety of 2020. All websites should have it somewhere, just gotta look around. --- "Um, let's face it, you'd be better off staying at the Hilton." http://facebook.com/GFAQS | http://twitter.com/GameFAQs |

| SBAllen 12/16/20 5:32:05 PM #5 | If we banned simps, incels, virgins, and cucks, we'd have to shut down CE. --- "Um, let's face it, you'd be better off staying at the Hilton." http://facebook.com/GFAQS | http://twitter.com/GameFAQs |

| Topic | Vice: In Early GameFAQs, the Subtext Was Often Sexism |
| SBAllen 10/22/20 5:04:46 PM #56 | darkphoenix181 posted... @sballenI saw the article when it was posted. It's unfortunate that they are doing what we always joke that old people do with consoles (calling them all "Nintendos") and referring to all older guides written by fans as "GameFAQs" instead of just "game FAQs", since people who just read the title and not the article will assume we did something horrible when the article's only about guides written by other people. It is what it is. It's also just clickbait as well considering their take is "people in the 90s weren't as PC as they are today" which I don't think anyone would disagree with. --- "Um, let's face it, you'd be better off staying at the Hilton." http://facebook.com/GFAQS | http://twitter.com/GameFAQs |
| Topic | Why is there some ad causing the site to load so fucking slow |
| SBAllen 10/01/20 12:42:54 PM #41 | Bio1590 posted... Oh hmmm interesting. I assumed it actually was an ad because of what Firefox was telling me was taking forever to load.For transparency's sake, the DW server is primarily used for statistical tracking (page views and visits and such, so we can see how many people are visiting and what content they are going to). --- "Um, let's face it, you'd be better off staying at the Hilton." http://facebook.com/GFAQS | http://twitter.com/GameFAQs |
| Topic | Why is there some ad causing the site to load so fucking slow |
| SBAllen 10/01/20 12:32:17 PM #35 | WilliamPorygon posted... Because everybody offloads the work of finding and integrating ads to third party companies that can't be arsed to vet the ads before putting them upThis wasn't actually about ads this time. Either way, I'm pretty pissed about what's going on but the fix should be in.

| Topic | CNET sold for $500 million |
| SBAllen 09/14/20 2:26:30 PM #106 | I don't want to really say too much more until there's more to tell (I mean, the sale isn't even final yet), but I'll just say this. ViacomCBS doesn't feel like CNET/GameSpot/etc are relevant to their strategy. To put it more bluntly, they aren't interested in us. Red Ventures IS interested in us. They want us as part of their strategy. It isn't really in their best interest to buy up a property just to close it. Considering GameFAQs is a direct component of GameSpot now (that is to say, GameFAQs traffic is accredited to the gamespot.com domain), we are here to stay. --- "Um, let's face it, you'd be better off staying at the Hilton." http://facebook.com/GFAQS | http://twitter.com/GameFAQs |
