Why is This Place So Much Less Fun?? (A Case for Shitposts)

Yes, yes, what we need more of is transphobia. Poor transphobes, getting banned for making this forum an unwelcome shithole, clearly alt-right people on the old forum getting angry over this is a sign that something is wrong. Clearly, their plight is the rosa parks issue of our time, being unable to hate on one of the most vulnerable minorities around.
What you perceive as "ridiculous levels of moderation" is actually just doing the bare minimum on that topic. It's telling that even this little is an issue for you.
Memes
The world is going to hell and this place is bitching and moaning about memes. Almost every social media site you can think of has allowed semi ironic bullshit to churn and fester until they turned into full blown harassment campaigns, and members of this site are whining about how there isn't a thread every week where they can point and laugh at some socially awkward dipshit until SunhiLegend makes a gif they can quote for 20 pages. Boo hoo.

User Banned (1 Week): Trolling and hostility. Previous infractions for similar behavior.
lol yea why do people think ResetERA is filled with histrionic crybabies again?
You guys must've not had a "NG" account back in the day. Trust me when I tell you if you got banned, it was game over. At least here when you get banned, it isnt game over. You just lose one life and restart at the checkpoint. At "NG"??? You basically were posting on the demon's souls of all forums.
The best thing about the College Football OT is it's passive aggressive yet endearing tone
Actually that's all the sports OTs tbh
Did you guys know that a version of the opening song from Street Fighter 4, The Next Door -Indestructible- by Exile had Flo Rida in it? Just want to let everyone know that.
EVERYBODY!! Raise up your hands and send your energy to revive Cybersai!!
Cybersai was a legit pedophile who posted nigh-R34 of underage Pokèmon protagonists while talking about his lust for them, & defended Kid Chi-Chi's barely-an-outfit outfit. I'm fine never seeing Cybersai again.
User Banned (1 Week): Downplaying transphobia.
This is a perfect example of what sucks about this place beyond the lack of humor. Nuance is not allowed at all.
By the way, thanks OP for making this chumbait of a thread to fish out all the lovely people who earnestly believe in an outrage culture. So lovely when that happens.
I think there's room for memes and stuff, but the rest of the internet world seems so consumed by shitposting these days that something more serious and discussion focused is a welcome change. Other forums and social media seem to be consumed by Twitter-esque short drive-by shitposting covered in five layers of irony with everyone trying to be funny that somewhere where earnest discourse is the norm feels refreshing.
I agree with the op. I vaguely heard of GAF through Kotaku and once visited and read that insane thread about some dude worried about a Thai (I think) prostitute's pimp threatening to beat him up (it's a distant memory now) and thought that the place had potential for crazy stories (and it did). Not sure it has to do with mods and shitposts, though. I think memes here feel a bit forced.
Side question: why do so many people refer to GAF as 'the old place'. Regardless of the shithole it became (and what a shithole it did become), Voldemorting it feels a bit ridiculous to me.

What the fuck, I legit never knew about those things. Didn't see the thing about him posting on other forums either. Thought he was just somebody who posted life bullshit.
This place is about a billion times less interesting and fun than GAF was. OP hit on a lot of points. The moderation around here is doing the site a disservice imo. Can't help but think people would leave if a viable alternative came up. Oh, and the name is still stupid hahaha.
Anyway, I'll stay for my mobile games threads :)

Your post is a perfect example of what sucks here, yeah.
The tiniest moderation of transphobia is immediately screamed about by a good number of dudes, who are so *used* to hating on LGBT people that even this little is seen as an overreach.
you guys are free to go back to gaf to try and relive your glory days. i'm sure they'll let you create any thread you want
Basically, this.
There's a thousand forums I can go to if I want to post like a wacky dipshit surrounded by people who earnestly believe in reverse racism.
Holy shit. I forgot all about this. What the fuck even led to that response?
Alternatively, some people don't take the off topic section of a video game forum so seriously.
Idk man. I haven't noticed much difference, other than mods not changing thread titles for comedic purposes.
What potential involves letting transphobic assholes stay here? Do go on.
Can this thread get locked? We had it a year ago.

literally nothing lol
it was the most out of nowhere shit
Neogaf was far, far, worse from that point of view. Beyond the memes about it amirox was an unbearable piece of shit (besides being a pedophile but we didn't know that). And no, I never got banned or really engaged with him. He was the worst but lots of mods were clearly enjoying their power.
It kinda got swept under the rug, but he did that in the DBZF & Smash threads before mods quickly scrubbed images & temporarily banned him. No clue if it was shitposting or genuine weirdness, but the dude seemed really defensive before the ban each time.
User Banned (3 Days): Inflammatory comments against staff, previous infractions. Account still in junior phase.
Yeah there are quite few uptight ass mods who's seemingly drunk on power trips. Some of the mod warnings were so damn lame. I'm like really? Do you people really have this type of mindset in person?
Wouldn't be surprised if few are delicate fanboys too.

oh no doubt. Neogaf was more fuckery than here. Least when you get warned or banned on here everyone knows if the reason is bs.
