You don't know me, I'm practically a nobody, but welcome back all the same :)
Well, that hate site (it has to do with a term from New Zealand ) just screen grabbed me. Hello Nazis. Us Germans hate you.
At least I warned you all. And again, no Russian. I mean private information.

This is absolutely disgusting behavior by the staff involved.
I'd also like to point that one of our SmashEra community members, Brock Reiher, was perma-banned for calling out the staff in the thread that Ket was also banned. (probably by the acephobic mods)
It rings all the more true now after these revelations.

OP

Got to love all those threads that were locked but the bait response thread is still going fine.
I'm happy to see you back. It was downright shameful that they banned you and tried to make it look self-requested. Absolutely shameful.
what the FUCKThis is absolutely disgusting behavior by the staff involved.

I was wondering for days what had happened to Brock.
makes the bans in that thread seem really suspect nowThis is absolutely disgusting behavior by the staff involved.

I would love to write an official incident report on this. Would make this entire situation a lot cleaner if what actually happened was documented and written up. Then people can read it and see what actually is happening.
Of course, I know I have a history on Era with some pretty bad EGS takes and the occasional fuck up of posting banned content, but I would people know that they can trust me to back them up when human rights are being fucking questioned.
That shit don't fly with me.
Of course.
Ironically my thread wasn't locked:
But I think I came in at a point where the staff were realizing that locking threads was mimicking evilore. Either that or I'm blocked by the mod that is doing the locking.
I do think that we need to give the staff the appropriate time to respond. Many people could be asleep etc. It definitely seems like attention has been brought to the matter so I would let the mods respond tomorrow
If I were her, or any of the mods or admins, today or in times past, I wouldn't be tomorrow. Too much trouble rewarded with too much harassment and animosity. I know this isn't a place right now that's very sympathetic to the mod side of things, but I frankly don't think it's worth it. Everything you do will always anger someone and some people don't forgive easily and know how to hold a grudge. I respect Sweetnicole's choice to depart from the team and would never pressure her or anyone else to step back into that role, or stay in it a moment longer than they desire to. It's shit.
Godspeed, Fat4all. You're a better dog than I.
The "so they ban you" topped with the "Banned (duration pending)" is quite a combo.This is absolutely disgusting behavior by the staff involved.

Posting here to provide whatever solidarity I can for the trans community here. I don't post a lot but I saw what happened in the South Park thread and the resulting thread and am sad that it's all managed to spiral this far out of control. I hope that some sort of resolution in favor of the community here can be reached but with how everythings gone down so far I'm not exactly 100% hopeful. All I can do I suppose is again say that I stand with you all as best I can and tell you that there's plenty of us in the greater community that support you.
Hell, the site that I've mentioned above that melted down charged less than half the cost of Era Clear for it's ad-clearing subscription. There's really no reason for Era Clear to be as incredibly expensive as it is for what's being offered unless someone's padding their pockets with it.
I wish I could freely express my thoughts on the matter but I'm afraid I'll be banned.
All I will say is that I support the trans community on the forum and I share their disappointment.

Nice to have you back!
Another awesome post. Thank you for this.
I was going to bring this up myself. The staff tried hard to cover their asses. The "so they ban you" combo with the ban message is too bittersweet.This is absolutely disgusting behavior by the staff involved.

I've been following this thread for a while now too perplexed to say anything. I just want this to be resolved the right way so I can go back to thinking ERA is a safe place for queer folks because I don't want this to be just A Place Where I Talk About Video Games. If Trans individuals find comfort and solidarity in this forum because it was designed from day one to be a space for solidarity, then by god let's fucking get on that and do everything in our power not to undermine it to the best of our abilities.
Mods of ERA, you have the power and the responsibility to make this right. We're not asking you to be gods or superhuman, we're not asking you to be perfect and without error, we just ask of you to understand the mistakes you've made with this topic so that we can make ERA the better place it was always meant to be.

It wasn't an attempt to pressure her, it was just my way of saying I miss her presence as an admin here.
What the fuck. I go do sleep and wake up with a absolutely terrible response from the mods and admins, and now this.oh man my bad. I thought this guy was on staff here
I'm fucking speechless.
I don't have much to say that hasn't already been said by other, smarter people but much love to the trans, NB, and ace members of resetera
Paying very close attention to what the response to all this will be. Plenty of people have already outlined how y'all can start to make things right. People want to stay. Give them a reason to.
If anyone needs a place to vent or needs to contact me for whatever reason, feel free to DM me. If you are unable to, please feel free to hit me up on discord - Hobbesenero#0296

Brock's ban was completely undeserved. Banning him for "conspiracy theories", and then it turns out one of the mods did have something to hide after all. He was right.
yeah. whoever banned you deserves to be perma'd. also, supposedly bans are talked about, so anyone who agreed with your ban needs to be perma'd too
Unban him so I can dunk on his Smash takes again. It's not the same without the Seth shitposts. We need a heel.
Understanding people is what makes things start to get better, not disregarding people or trying to quantify what an "equal role in the struggle" is.
Well, if people are asking for any Discord, then here are the ones I mod/admin.

This is disgusting and I really expected better from the staff. Here to show my support.
There you go again requesting a ban! /s
*This* is what happened to Brock??This is absolutely disgusting behavior by the staff involved.

Holy hell. I'm so disappointed in the staff here all around. To the point where using the word "disappointed" feels like giving them a slap on the wrist. Disgusted is probably a better word for it.
Right, like... even if it's not to the degree that was guessed at in the "conspiracy theory", in retrospect: was it unfair to question that?
Shout outs to everyone here that was out there raising awareness about this. This is something that should upset every poster here, and I'm glad locked threads and dumb bans didn't stop y'all.
Also, that Brock ban is shitty as all hell. Get your shit together admin staff.

What the hell, staff. Get your shit together now.
The admins (Cerium, etc) have had 2~ years to take action as these issues have been here from the start
I think you forgot the /s
unfortunately I sincerely doubt anything will be done except more defending of the staff and silencing while they "promise us they're getting better owo"
