Journal of Other Forum Analysis (Volume II, Issue 2)

[HaughtyFrank]

Over the years I've been to the Bite of Seattle maybe a dozen times but it's been quite some time because the last 2 times I went the atmosphere involved a whole lot of drunk people and the final time a huge fight broke out in one of the beer gardens.

May sound corny but I do wonder if this is related to the pimp war that's been going on for a few years.

The sound of "automatic gunfire" is probably from a switched glock which is what the pimps use. We hear these go off once every couple of months as I live near enough the "pimp war" to be in ear-shot.

I'm sure the average gang member is probably carrying something similar though, and I wouldn't put it past a normal gun nut to modify a glock as well so I'm not trying to assume anything, but it wouldn't; surprise me if this was gang/pimp related. Like most big cities we do have a gang problem here including cartels.

 User Banned (1 Month): Islamophobia

What do you mean it's recent? Gay people have been persecuted and killed due to Islam since… the dawn of Islam. Don't blame the west for that.

The madlads really did it.

We literally just had a gay cruise turned away from Turkey and Egypt, two majority Muslim countries most people would consider modernized. But no way, don't you ever dare imply that Islam is homophobic. You can only say that about christianity.

A tough cookie to crack for sure. But luckily we have eminent thinkers and experts on the case and they also have loads of time to think about it.

Can we not derail the thread over spoilers for one of the most famous games in history? A game that is literally 30 years old and has had multiple releases and a remaster.

[/STAFF]

Community thread 

It's not a major story spoiler is the thing. It's the very very very end, it's the denouement. It's practically the last scene in the entire game. It's the furthest thing from a major spoiler. There's two big twists in the game and this is neither and both of those twists are such common knowledge that even people who have never played before know them.



Beyond that, it's literally the thing that creates the entire Zelda timeline, which is so commonly discussed when Zelda games come out that you can literally bet money we will have a thread about where a game falls. Hell, it's a whole genre of YouTube video essay.



Its absolutely on par with "Vader is Luke's father." Is it possible someone missed it? Sure, but only if they've never actually played a Zelda game and then discussed it at any point in the past.



It's also 30 years old and has been released on every single home console Nintendo has ever made. It's not like it's a hard game to find. Plus, the very existence of Majora's Mask spoils it, since it's a direct sequel and Link is a kid again.

Pallaskitten (She/They) was threadbanned in the community thread for moaning about people being banned in that Ocarina of Time thread (a bannable offence as mentioned numerous times in the thread rules)

https://www.resetera.com/threads/community-discussion-thread-2026.1432741/post-158448124

Are we really warning and banning people for complaining about being spoiled with a game (that's getting a remake this year, no less) for a thread's title, when the thread title could simply be changed to something like "Did Zelda... (unmarked OoT spoilers)"?

Bat signal in the discord must have been lit up since Kyuuji is in there within half an hour questioning their ban and wanting an exception made to the rule because ???

Funny back & forth with B-Dubs.

Hard thing to toe around without getting clipped but making the broader point that I hope actions like Pallas' threadban have a time limit on them, with this being the main post to post feedback around the forum to and her being a valuable contributor in general. Again, using it as an example to make the point that I think some of these threadbans for this specific thread should be re-evaluated in X time period, as it's the central point of feedback for people here. It's distinct from other threads and waiting for an annual refresh is a long time.

This thread gets rebooted yearly and the threadbans are reset when it is, unless you went way too far and started insulting everyone.

Yep, I get that. I just mean with it being the dedicated/central source of site feedback I feel like, when it's not been too egregious, it's something that could have an expiry within a couple of months. It's a valuable thread for feedback in general across various topics.

Like, the big rule is "don't come in here complaining about your friends being banned or you get kicked out until the reboot." I get what you're saying, but if there's no real consequences for breaking the most basic rule of the thread then it may as well not exist.

It's possible to talk about the policy without complaining that people got warnings.

I love how he's clearly getting more and more fed up with the mafia

Kyuuji backs down:

I do think that a thread-ban from this thread in particular for X months is a consequence. This thread is very unique in its role on the forum relative to pretty much any other. I know you're stating your position so not really pushing it further, you've made it clear. Just giving feedback to the thought.

Speaking of balding women on era...



From Constructive

[Keetongu]

Era? The shitty racist and transphobic lib forum run by a rabid bigot that bans its best posters for not hiding their sexuality or simply for not being Zionists?

They ain’t even trying to hide their pro Zionist views. 

The IDF already rubbing their hands from all the extra money that they get now.

User banned (permanent): Hostility towards other members. Repeated prior severe bans for the same behavior in other threads

This doesn't even make sense

Page 2 and the insane takes are already here

I know you guys love to ignore the Genocide Microsoft is participating in but guess what?
The game makes money for Microsoft and they support the IDF with that.


There are these little threads linked at the bottom.
Read them and look at where your money is going.

Microsoft has been complicit in the Palestinian genocide, directly working with the IDF and the Israeli government. We urge you to take the time to educate yourself on these issues. Information can be found in the following threads:

Have fun I guess.
Games over morals apparently.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/forza-horizon-6-review-thread.1519960/page-2#post-154958740

I never really understood how Microsoft having the IDF as a client for their services, where the IDF pays Microsoft money for server space and tools, twisted in the minds of most era users to actually mean "Microsoft pays money to the IDF and offers their services for free using the money they get from their other ventures". Like they genuinely seem to believe buying Microsoft products is "funding" the services they provide to the IDF in a direct sense, like Microsoft needs to siphon money from game sales to Israel.

Wait, what did B-Dubs expect? He banned people from complaining about it in the thread so no wonder they'll write him a PM instead. And maybe complaining about 30 year old spoilers is silly but when there's literally a remake a few months away it makes sense to show some courtesy

Being threadbanned from one thread is THE LAST STRAW 

Multiple communities have left the site en masse due to terrible moderation, but being threadbanned for breaking a simple rule that everyone knows about has tipped them over the edge

Regardless of whether you personally consider it a spoiler or not, it feels like this is just a case of somewhat poor community management, and has resulted in a mountain being created out of a molehill.

Like honestly, whether individual posters or staff members think that's a spoiler is irrelevant. But surely it would have been easier for everyone involved (the OP, other posters, staff) if, after the first few people complained, instead of throwing out warnings and making a staff post, the thread title was altered slightly to something like "Did Zelda do the right thing at the end of Ocarina of Time (full spoilers)?". Seems like such an easy fix that would have saved a lot of hassle.

[DavidCroquet]

Hard disagree. For once b-dumbs has taken the correct position. The fact that the thread creator is getting personal messages and people are calling them names is proof of a good decision for once.

[Vertigo]

The anatomy of an attempted dog piling and ban. 

SuperRiko tried and failed. 

From their avatar, Riko has a trans coloured MLP avatar and a bug up their ass. I'm still stumped that Reee hasn't met many gays who find the whole Islamist and queer 'we are the world' thing ultra weird espcially in Europe.  I know gays who've found the joining of two opposite-thinking groups ultra weird. Like, how do you support a religion that finds your very presence an abomination and would love to free your head from your body.

The most popular party with German gays is now really the far right as absurd as that sounds



Most of the other parties are just leaving the field open when it comes to migration

Its not even that absurd these days.

The last time I was in Europe I was in Germany, Denmark and Portugal for the first two it was interesting seeing the 'no go areas' which have gotten even worse over the last few years. And has had the same pushback from voters who've had enough and can see where things are or have inevitably gone. 

Look at the green party in the UK being used as a vessel for hardcore Islamists. Other than Gaza what in the hell do the Greens and Islamists have in common and yet they are currently joined at the hip.

There are groups involved with the Green Party who have seriously called for Sharia Law to be implemented in the UK. A few years ago we would have laughed it off, these days though...

What I'm astonished at is the 'center' has seen fit to label anyone angry over illegal boat immigrants and giving away homes to newcomers as racist. 

Instead leaving that ground open for Reform and people like Rupert Lowe who and it hurts me to say this begin to look like the sane ones. As nobody else will broach the subject. 

I'm slowly seeing the same nonsense hitting Canada.

[Jansen]

Like I said

I'd love to open a thread to discuss how the lack of empathy about spoilers ("don't be so soft, why do you care?", "you had 30 years", "why should I bother rewording my title a tiny little bit just for your convenience?") is fundamentally the same exact mindset that conservatives exhibit on sociopolicial topics. Obviously spoilers are low stakes and maybe it's ridiculous to what degree some people care about stuff like that, but there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to ever post open spoilers in a thread title. Period. The only reason to do that, is to piss others off. We don't need to understand why others care about spoilers, but it's really not difficult to show some kindness and not be total dicks about this. Truth be told, the way some of the replies have been in these threads says a lot about the people writing them. We have people explicitly explaining that they didn't know this information and are bummed out to find out this way, and in return they were mocked or even banned for it. I genuinely think there's a lot of interesting discussion to be had about this, but I'm afraid that would either get that hypothetical thread nuked or even result in a ban, and I'm not interested in that. So I'll leave it at that I guess.



That said, posting harassment towards OP is unhinged and obviously unacceptable. People can be mad about something without actively attacking OP.

Fuck these psychos

[Boredfrom]

Discussion is fine but there's obvious lines in the sand people seem to sprint across
whenever they feel aggrieved over video games.

People felt aggravated because you practically banned a game of being widely discussed and labeled some user of being MAGA for not bending the knee.

[Jansen]

There can be no debate about this: if a large number of people consider a detail about a story to be a spoiler, then it is a spoiler.  If you feel that knowing the information in the spoiler would not have impacted your own enjoyment of that media, it doesn't matter.  Your evaluation of the story beat does not define someone else's experience.  Others can't control your actions - when others ask you not to do something that they find offensive, it's up to you to choose to be considerate.  When multiple people are making reasonable requests for something as basic as a post title modification because they find it inconsiderate, and the collective decision is that it will NOT be done, it is a statement that their feelings are incorrect, and they should feel a different way.  I think that this is wrong.



EDIT:





The vast majority are not doing this.  They're requesting a thread title change.

You have to be fucking retarded to complain about someone "spoiling" the end of Ocarina of Time considering it changes the entire framing of the series going forward, maybe if you're a normie who only played BOTW because you saw some funny clips on social media I could understand, but you're posting on a enthusiast site for video games, fuck off.

Then again you have to be retarded to care about the story in a fucking Zelda game so I guess it makes sense.
