Fishing for bans…like trying to bait someone into saying something that would get em clipped, I hope there’s a rule against that. All it does is add to the toxicity.

Got any examples? I don't think calling someone out for nonsense would be considered fishing. But I obviously don't know what specific context you're talking about.

Yeah, if we are talking about like asking someone in a thread to specify their thoughts on something that seems likely to be potentially bigoted, I don't think there's any issue there.  It's happened a ton where someone will clearly be just vague enough in their response to avoid being banned for dogwhistling, but we can clearly tell.

Looking through his posts, that is very obviously not what he's talking about. I'm sure he doesn't appreciate the insinuation either.



Yeah, that stuff is no good. Feel free to report it.

I wasn't insinuating that.  Just saying that it's been a thing before and some people would call posts like them honeypots.

Apologies if I was out of line with that post, I wasn't intending too.  Just not in a great mood today, relating transphobic things.  Not trying to call anyone out.

Ashlette replying to ClickyCal' insinuating post

Those cyberpunk transphobia threads from 2018... they weren't honeypots for transphobes, they were supermassive black holes lmao

You mean the same trans users such as Kyuuji and astro who played and heavily praised Cyberpunk 2077 while ban baiting cis users for anticipating the game?

Roche is basically the FFVII equivalent of this one comic relief boss - a street gang exclusively centered around sledgehammers - I threw at my players in my D&D campaign who the party instantly fell in love with and kept asking to see over and over again, so I had to constantly contrive excuses for them to return with an increasing escalation of scale each time. It went from a standard street brawl, to a gang war, to the gang commandeering a pirate ship, loading its cannons full of hammerheads and jamming a gigantic mechanized sledgehammer on the front, and ended with one of them stealing a mecha and replacing its arms with flaming sledgehammers and invading a coliseum match the party's barbarian was part of, causing the barbarian and his actual opponent to team up to take it down while surrounded by thousands of screaming fans.

If Roche doesn't end his role in the trilogy with his own Gundam, Nomura has royally fucked up.

My operating theory is clickycal is known smackhead jesse

Also imagine turning up to DnD and your dungeon master is PlanetSmasher. An entire campaign that's a museum of his life and experiences.

Amazon still gets exactly the same amount of money from me, I am then even more helpful by not using bandwidth from their servers, saving them even more $$$

I don't understand what you're referring to by "download from not prime."

User banned (2 weeks): Conspiracy theories

Tut tut, very obvious and purposeful leak from the FTC.

I was wondering when not if something like this would happen.

Consider the amount of stuff they have on a lot of companies involved in this and conveniently just the Xbox stuff leaks come on lol.

Now if I wake up later and a ton of Sony shit has leaked I'll eat my hat.

[books]

Yeah. Kindergarten bans for fn neckbeard adults (you can tell they're adults because of the neckbeard) does nothing but make them more exxxtreme. These are the type of dudes to hold a grudge long enough to come back and "ban bait."

[Averon]

ERA Mods:

Racism? Sexism? Indulging Conspiracies? Ban baiting? Approving of political assassinations?
1-4 week ban

Saying you think Bill Burr's comedy show looks ok? You acknowledge the existence of the game Hogwarts Legacy?
6 month ban...at least.

Wait didn’t ClickCal make it clear that ban baiting wasn’t a thing

[books]

Chad ZeroVaguna is researching while banned like it's Rocky or whatever Marvel cinematic equivalent is. He's gonna come back nuttier, right? He's a Psycho that needs help and the experts of everything at resetera only banning "him" for a few days is making a grave mistake for every normal poster.

Out of all the bans how was this considered ban baiting?  He just said say wha 

[BIONIC]

Apologies if this isn’t the right thread for this. Given that the Activision-Blizzard deal is finally going to close in a few weeks and thus COD will likely be added to Game Pass, will it be allowed to start a COD replay OT when COD comes to Game Pass for everyone to discuss the COD campaigns as they go through them?

Why would we say no? Seems fine.

“Hey, can I say that I like a trailer for a completely innocuous movie?”

B-Chuds:

[benji]

Huh, wonder why someone might ask for clarity on what the forum's rules are. 

Also, notice how B-Dubs only finds it strange because he can't think of a reason, not strange that a member would, yet again, seek pre-approval before posting.

[Rendle]

Because mods don't mind when you subvertly say you're going to pirate something when it's against one of the bad targets, and they didn't want to ban the guy who said it, so they banned the guy who pointed out that he said it. It's confusing but when you think like a reset mod there's a twisted logic to it.

Nepenthe is, in my opinion, probably the best poster on the site.

The real question is why did the original poster have to ask if he’s “good” for paying for Amazon (company that uses slave labor in their warehouses and employees need to pee in bottles) and pirating. Just do it and shut the hell up.

I took my kid to the library after school and overheard this one boy about 6-7 years old claiming to a girl there with presumably the same nanny that he's watch every episode of One Piece. I'm just standing there thinking There's no fucking way that would take longer than this kid has been alive. Then he proceeds to go on and describe Gear 5 using Sponge Bob as the point of reference for cartoon logic.

All this while he's reading a big paperback manga of Demon Love Spell

This Joe Biden's America /s

What was the girl's reaction? Was he trying to impress her lol?

Wife buying creep is so obsessed with dating that he’s reading into a literal toddler’s normal behavior

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

and not so subtly trying to cancel him for it

[Taco Bell Tower]

FFS Messy is gonna track that boy down and cancel him in the future

Social posturing. It's not remotely how copyright law works. Broadcast TV is free but you still can't pirate it. Subscribing to cable TV doesn't give you the right to pirate anything from any channel.

The total time required to watch all One Piece episodes up to episode 1072 is 24,656 minutes or approximately 410.93 hours, which amounts to around 17.12 days.

Sorry, did I miss a memo? Why is everyone suddenly just passing around LTT videos in this thread as if nothing at all happened

Oh, I am just gonna put a video I thought was so wholesome and cute in a thread about this specific creator/channel/company having a hostile work environment”

Are some of y’all just fucking stupid? This is tone deaf at best and edging on gaslighting at worst and y’all should be fucking ashamed of yourselves bringing that into this thread.

You want to pat them on the back for being “such good guys”, fuck off and do it somewhere else.

May get banned because one of the stupid people fawning about the video… is Slayven.

You can tell he was a bit wary at first, but got into it and started fucking with them. It was fun.

Oh, well, guess there's nothing to do now but lead a violent revolution against the cissupremacy.

Any day now they'll be in the streets with the people behind them.

Even the top mod of the site doesn't read before commenting, incredible.

That's what i'm trying to figure out. Ad came out, twitter Japan all talking about how cute the ad is. Goes to sleep, wake up, and comments are filled with blue check magas malding over it. Now it's people making fun of the blue checks malding over the ad.

OP doesn't even read before posting. The "magas" aren't malding, they like this ad lmao
