Resetera speedrun ban any%

Error, why not offer Vegy a chance to return to GameFAQs. If they can survive a year on Resetera without getting a single ban then they can come back? :P

There's a reason nobody wanted their asses when they all tried to flee Neogaf.

I guess "inflammatory drive-by" refers to entering a topic just to say something stupid and immediately leave?

Don't forget during the whole Hogwart's Legacy controversy they banned discussion there and were extremely against the game but then one of their Admins got caught playing it and nothing happened. Just swept it under the rug. They are hypocrites of the highest order.

By banning discussion and harassing content creators that played it while their own admin and most likely many of them played it themselves?

Definitely Hogwarts Legacy. If you even hinted about liking the game or looking forward to it, you got banned

Genuinely yes. The ban was because they knew 90% of the discussion would be flaming & trolling, and of that trolling the majority would yes be at the expense of trans people.

Meanwhile on CE all that trolling and flaming happened and the end result was a trans user got banned after they were provoked into retaliating. It was a shitshow

At some point you gotta face the fact CE is not mature enough to handle events like that while protecting its marginalized users

lmfao how is that site even still up? those are the most ban-happy, self-stroking mods on the internet. if you're worse than reddit mods it's time to stop tbh.

There is nothing preventing vegy from coming back if he wants, outside of him doing the same shit that got him in trouble. =P

TBH, It's not as if a moderator for a website needs to live their entire life to the standards of that site's rules. I don't live my life based on the GameFAQs ToU, that's for sure. =P

I actually kinda remember that thread when it happened. Since it's been years, I don't recall the exact game or context off hand, but it was people upset a game was scoring well despite some group disliking it. It predates Hogwarts Legacy by years, so not that, but it was similiar in that a VA wasn't actually lgbt or lacked such a character and thus a thread about how it was a bad game to not play it. The reasoning was damn petty, just can't remember what it was.

There were quite a few, like 7-10 banned there for saying "I'll probably still play it" or expressing even remote interest in hoping it'd be good.

Im not trying to justify their shitty action the point is the subject let a bunch of people run around and troll about even just by politicizing the success or failure of the game itself and yet the result was a trans person got banned from their (poor) reaction to it. Thats the definition of trolling on the report popup, provoking others into responding inappropriately. And thats what a bunch of people were using HL to do to CE at large

You need to remember, before Hogwarts Legacy came out there was a substantial number of people who were taking the position that being positive about the game was in itself inherently anti-trans, playing it was also anti-trans. If you were going to play the game it was impossible for you to be an ally, it was impossible for you to be pro-trans, you were part of the problem.

This quieted down after Hogwarts Legacy blew the fuck up and became as I recall the best selling game of 2023.

That's still not what happened. There were like maybe two people who said the bolded and they got modded for it. Everybody else was just saying they wanted to play the game because it looked fun.

Maybe early 2023. There's no way Baldur's Gate 3 sold less.

idk man, Hogwarts Legacy sold a fuck ton. I'll double check but I think it was over 20 million >_>

According to the 1st results in Google cuz I'm lazy

Hogwarts Legacy sold 24 million copies
Baldur's Gate sold 22 million copies

Wow, I didn't expect it to be that close >_>

Its ironic how incredibly toxic that place is. If you are defending that place in any way you should feel bad. Look past their political ideologies for a minute, because thats the only reason I can see someone defending them.

Thats some real power trip right there. Resetera literally is the leftist caricature that foxnews sells to the world.

What's funny, is they were renting/using it from Google, so it had the old style Gmail ui and briefly blinked "google" when making the transition from the main site to the email management. All that really happened was losing an extra email inbox and the domain name in the email address.

I guess it mostly sucked for the ones that used it for all their site accounts, as changing/migrating all of those could become really, really... really annoying.
