Nintex didn't post a trump gif with that. What's happening to the Western world?

The buttrage -

I know Jeff Gertsmann review was done after 1-2 games? He didn't even make it to level 2 apparently. And the PC gamer had like factually incorrect information in it. I don't think many of these reviewers gave it a fair shake.

I'll say this - it was clearly hot to jump on the Concord sucks train. Many twitch streamers who said it wasn't bad, got instantly flamed. YouTubers who liked it were harassed. Era members who liked it were told they were wrong. I am still laughing when one Era member said that "Twitter is a safe space" too.

It's clear why there is so much vitriol towards Concord and you even saw it on Era where lots of bigoted and sexist comments were allowed to run rampant during those threads.

I think if you put Concord's controls, gameplay, and map design in Rivals IP, it earns GOTY. But it's clear that MP is basically "f2p only, point me in one direction only and let me hit a win now button every 3 minutes". The era of learning a map and its routes is basically gone. Any MP progression is gone.

There's still nothing like it on Ps5. Sucks cause MP games are at all all time low when it comes to arena shooters on console.

Are you still a believer in Santa because at 7 its marginal right?  



It's called we a do little trolling

Best part is that unlike other Presidents that just partake for 5 minutes for the photo op and leave the rest to the staff because they have 'business to attend to' Trump is always heavily invested in these type of holiday and state visit festivities from start to finish.

Maybe there is nothing like it for a good reason.

[Shecky Fragbaum]

I do find their reasoning hilarious though, “you can’t ban the biggest news event of the year!” 

Motherfucker you all campaigned for them to ban the biggest video game of the year from being discussed on a video game forum

Right? . Its only "the biggest story" until Diddy were to make bail, or If he were to *gasp* get acquitted somehow. Or a POC is cast as Hermione. Or Asmongold converts to Islam. Or etc.

Awful, should nationalize all their industries and rebuild for Syrians. Gonna get fleeced by foreign capital as per usual.

Good thing you're not in charge.

What industries? Does he think there's some thriving Syrian economy or something to nationalize? Isn't it like 60% unemployment? Like seriously Ba'athist economic doctrine is state-driven industry but the Syrian state has been a little pre-occupied for some time.

They desperately want the Democrats to do the stupid shit Trump says he is going to do but has enough sense not to follow through with.

Well there's the Narcotics... Oh wait, that was already under state control.

This is insane violence against women by the healthcare system. And yet we aren't allowed to have any threads about the shooting murder of the United Healthcare CEO and the rising tide of mass social anger at the US healthcare system?

Harassing streamers for liking Concord didn't happen. It happened with the Harry Potter game, with harassment by them. I think they assume their “enemies” used their same tactics and false memory’d it.

[benji]

No, I remember when that streamer who said he liked Concord was shot in the middle of New York City.

Don’t be a sensationalist. He wasn’t shot. They only beat him and yelled “this is Marvel Rivals country!”

[Daffy Duck]

The inmates are mad they locked the shooter thread. The community thread:

I'm not sure if this is the right place to discuss this, so please point me in the right direction if it's not. But the decision to not only close that thread but to ban all future threads on the topic seems like a pretty heavy one to make.

I'm sure that the nature of that thread, combined with how the majority of Americans are reacting to the murder, is making it a topic that needs to be moderated more than usual. There were certainly posts that went too far. (For example, there is a difference between proclaiming your lack or care for the CEO's death or saying that you understand why it happened and implying that it's time for more CEOs to die.)

However, this is the literal biggest news story in the country and will continue to be a huge story throughout 2025 and throughout the eventual trial. Banning all discussion on one of the biggest news stories of the next year is a pretty major decision and not one I can think of happening in the past and I think sets a pretty dangerous precedent.

That thread, and future ones, can easily be moderated by taking action against users (like the one who got three months for using the shooting in an inflammatory manner in an unrelated thread), deploying temporary locks, and by utilizing official staff messaging that can be present on every page.

As ZeoVGM said above, this story is going to be a major topic every time there's new news on it, and it's an odd decision to decide that the entire site is going to bury its head in the sand as a reaction. Honestly you're just going to end up playing whack-a-mole every time a new thread pops up, but unlike AI or Crypto, there's no megathread to redirect people.

Pretty fucking absurd to ban talk of the biggest news story right now. I've read more "extreme" views all over literally every other platform out there right now.

This is a garbage decision by staff and y'all don't seem to communicate well with one another, let alone the community.

What's the point of having a general discussion area if discussion can't go in specific directions that staff doesn't like?

It's weird that this is seemingly a "staff viewpoint" or whatever knowing that there are multiple staff members that agree with the shooter's actions.

It sounds like this is a decision based on profitability and advertisement-friendly content rather than one based on actual moderation practices.

Well, yeah, but that requires moderating a topic.

I'll just cut to the chase: it's been glaringly obvious that some members of the moderation/administration team are simply too tired/too burnt out/etc to continue doing their duties.
Between the inconsistent application of the rules (which are vague enough already), the heavy handed decisions, the cynical interpretation of posters' words, the lack of communication, the conflicting messaging, and the refusal to listen and communicate with the community...

It's time for a number of staff to hang their hats.
Whether it's been too grueling or you've simply lost interest, honestly the reason is between you and yourselves, but quite frankly, insisting to continue running this site when it's clearly a task you despise is not only unfair to the users in its selfishness, but is damaging to yourself.

We're long past the need for change in here.

But instead, I'm sure, what we'll get is silence in this thread, and a bunch of threadbans.

Again, like I said in my big post, if there's new news feel free to make a new thread. We even have a TRB banner ready for when that happens. For some reason I feel like literally everyone is glossing over the fact I said that.

I also want to note that part of the problem is that people are starting to "joke" about assassinations like this one in other contexts. We literally had someone joke about assassinating a federal judge, something that is generally taken pretty seriously by law enforcement given they are already an assassination risk. What do people think happens when that sort of joking makes it's way over to gaming side or other less serious topics? Seriously, it's bad for everyone.

Oh, now they don’t like a blanket ban on a subject… hahaha suck it you cunts.
