Journal of Other Forum Analysis

Strange how they hate cops so much yet act like the most stereotypical power abusing cop in their own little enclaves. The second you point this out, they pull a move a cop would do asserting their hierarchical dominance via perma bans or other mod power abuse without a hint of irony or self-awareness.

I think the inherent problem is when they set up Era, none of them had a genuine clue as to how to moderate a forum in the truest sense of the word and their only case example was GAF whose moderation method was constant bans, esp post-gamergate for daring to say anything out of the orthodoxy of the moderator's beliefs. Couple that with some of the worst stunt casting of the most odious special interest posters at GAF and you have an absolute recipe for disaster of Jonestown proportions.

They're not moderating, they're tone policing on a grandiose scale. Essentially each playing Witchunter looking for reasons to hand out bans to the point of absolute absurdity and the detriment of reason. In fact they've banned more members than they have active members at this juncture. New member sign-ups are well unto 6 digit IDs. Banned members don't disappear from the database.

They started with 20 mods that all idolized and wanted to be the new bishoptl.  And even he wasn't as bad as the average era mod other than his meltdown after the 2016 election.

...and one little biiiaaaatch!!!
