This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: jeff37923;1083586I wonder if Stacy D. was in contact with Mandy Morbid and encouraged her to go after Zak S. It would weirdly fit the pattern of sociopathic behavior she's become known for.

Yes, it was Stacey D who arranged the whole thing. That is public record.

Quote from: Spinachcat;1083587Excellent! How many bans? Anyone go out in style?
Nah, not particularly.

Just a couple temp bans that I saw, and they weren't even inflammatory or interesting posts; just people simply asking questions (then banned because of their post history and for being 'uppity', etc.).

Everyone else who asked for links to evidence or even a description of what happened, questioned the rationality of damning everyone and everything associated with a given person no matter how removed, etc. just got ordered to leave and were issued warnings.

At this point, with their "extended ban" warning now in place, I doubt we'll see any good action that way. I did half-consider posting a big "fuck you, retards, and fuck your virtue signalling, power-thirsty mods" post and getting myself permabanned but I don't have the right energy to fuel it right now.

Quote from: Antiquation!;1083580And now, as expected, anyone who even slightly dissented from the pure venom inside that TBP thread has been banned or ordered to leave; plus the mods have posted a warning that anyone who "sealions" or uses "concern trolling" (??) going forward will receive a lengthy ban.

I'm actually sort of surprised it took this long, but still. It's like poetry. The echoiest of echo chambers has once again proved its reputation.

I told you it was a matter of time before they pulled the " concern trolling " bullshit out of their asses to cover their bad behavior. They use it as an excuse to silence any post they don't like or poster that refuses to follow the narrative. It does not even make sense like hodoing as a term. Then some of you here wonder why I call them mentally ill. It's not normal to pull imaginary words out of ones collective asses and use them in the real world.

Notice how none of them have the stones to go to the SJGames website to vent their so called anger, wokeness and emotional "frustration". They now they would get banned. Better to stay in the echo chamber suckling at the collective woken tit.

Exalted 3rd edition should had told everyone that sureshot.  Plenty of the mods were Onyx Path freelancers at the time and they were banning people left and right.  Sure a few were assholes, but most of these banned people were just angry fans wondering where their money went to as the game was more than a year late.  These fans were given the shit treatment and wanted to vent their justified outrage in RPG.net.

The best thing about this news is that it reminded me that Munchkin Starfinder is a thing and that I have not purchased it yet.

I think I will go for the Munchkin Starfinder - I Want It All Super Deluxe Boxed set.

Wow, then the trail of damage she has caused lengthens. Stacey D is going to be remembered like Ken Whitman is.

I have no horse in this race per se but I do have to wonder how long before the SJWs are burning books? I'm thinking this step can't be that far off.

If your google fu fails I suppose I could google it but you'll have to wait until I get back from vacation. We had ginormous thread about it in Pundit's forum.

It was good I would say seven years or more before I began to see the guards joining with the inmates to take over and run the prison so to speak. What gets me is too many think they are so much better than anyone else over at rpg.net. When in reality they are sad, pathetic, pitiful and perhaps more than a little insane. The sheer ego to think that SJGames or any rpg company for that matter should lose money because of "reasons" and more importantly "feels" shows to me that they are not normal in the head. I think many of them outside of their echo chamber would have a Trump winning the election meltdown if they went to gamer homes which are not woke. Or meet gamers not willing to put up with their immaturity and entitlement.

Quote from: EOTB;1083413If there is, I'm there so much that I can't tell the difference.  It wouldn't surprise me if DF's culture hasn't changed more than once in the 20 years its been around, though.

Yeah that's not the case.

Once the K&K crowd started re-infesting the site from their "we're taking our ball and going home" hissy fit DF started to change and not for the better.

YMMV.

Quote from: Shasarak;1083591So you dont know what happened but you know something happened?

I think that is the essence of unreasonableness, blaming someone for a crime that happened in your imagination.

I said we don't know every single detail, not what happened. The company itself acknowledged the incident and apologized.
