Someone tell ERA new owners that the mods are making the site untenable to engage in. Making that $4 million investment worthless.

I think you guys are going a smidge too hard on the trans stuff personally but, you know... that's just my opinion, and i'm not going to jump in the DM's urging someone get banned. 

That said, as a literal decades long lurker, I've always wondered that about old GAF and Era when I look at 6 month old threads and like... half the posters are permanently gone. Do you... want a community or don't you?

I used to do on call security for a very long time, and every so often I would go to places that had some micromanaging dickhead who would fire people over nothing. I would have to drop what I was doing, often helping some other site that had an abscence due to illness or something rare and legit, and go be this guy's un-firable temp staff. This would usually go on for like 6 months before things fell apart entirely and we lost the contract. Every time. Sites where the client chilled out and actually had their own job to do other than look over our shoulder and left us to our own devices ran smoothly for the most part, with great employees.

Moral of the story, you can't fire your way to the perfect staff. Someone needs to tell the mods there that you can't ban your way to the perfect community, at some point ya'll have to commune.

Then again there's always new faces popping up, so what do I know?
