Agreed. Mistakes were obviously made, but I don't believe the staff is being malicious or downplaying the seriousness of the matter. And these situations always bring opportunistic trolls out of the woodwork to piggyback off of those with legitimate concerns.
How was it bullshit with all that evidence?
One of the two situations may have led to someone's death. You can guess which one. Also not a competitionWe now equating a website owner sexual assaulting someone with this?
lol stay frost era
Damn I just read an article about Etika's facts. Didn't know his older brother passed away years ago. I hope his family stays strong.
His elder brother passed away in 2010.
Nope. I have a younger brother that fought our mother, fought a cop that came to the house, acted insane, and the hospital discharged him because he acted totally fine while on the 5150 hold. They discharged him as soon as possible. Those places don't care about anything outside of what the patient is acting like within the walls. So many people come in and out of there that they need room for the new ones.
I mean, wasn't one of the biggest promises of Resetera transparent moderation? Doesn't this kind of defeat the purpose?
I would love for you to explain your reasoning there and we can have an honest conversation. Please explain how systemic sexism and toxic masculinity is the same as forum drama.
No, he was taken somewhere before that.
It's becoming painfully clear that mods are a protected class, and people associated with them can be aggressive as they want to be.
Disagree with this. He chose to close the channel, we arent entitled to his content.
"We should treat pedophiles like they have a mental illness to prevent them from becoming child rapists" is pro-pedophilia to the American political right.
That's fucked up, dude would still be alive
Mental health problems are a bitch, and honestly I'm not sure if there is really any treatment or help that could have done anything but delay the inevitable, short of locking someone up or chemically zombifying them. People tried to help, but you can't help someone who doesn't respond to that aid.
Unfortunately people forget that there is an intense amount of stalking, harassment, etc., that goes on in relation to this site, it's staff, and it's members, with tons of posts, threads, mistakes(or fakes) being consistently regurgitated elsewhere with some additional spin. This happened with GAF, particularly in the last few years before everyone left. Additionally there are a number of bad actors/alts in this board who wait for situations like this to cause further problems.
kind of like how when someone made an Era thread discussing ableist language and how we could address ableism, you personally shut down the thread and revoked their thread making privileges. but i'm sure criticism of that is just whipping people into a frenzy
If you're a shitty human being acting as a mod you're still a shitty human being.
