Can somebody please explain all the Phil Spencer dick suckage over at Era? Have popped over there a few times since the showcase, and there’s this weird adulation going on over there for him. Goes past just Xbox support, into something a bit... weird and creepy.

Yeah I wouldn't just put that on ERA specifically.

I'm a Sony boi since the 90's, with some Xbox inbetween, and I like Phil Spencer as well. The guy might pull an act, but he does it decently. Seems like an ok dude. Not your typical exec.

This is 100% the type of sociopathic motherfucker who would've gladly participated in rounding people up for the gulags.

Imagine saying that a kid who literally did nothing wrong "should rot in jail"

He is. This is the same fuck that made a thread about his ideal world.

Which was a world without creative freedom, no ambitions, job selection based on skills and not on preference... generally a place that would perhaps satisfy Kim Jong Un.

They are too dumb to understand he is a rich white male that just tries to sell them Xboxes.

They keep getting more extreme. That guy will get his wish for sure, it's only a matter of time. Do the cult leaders ask for money yet?

They will do,

Minorities - Free to use the safe spcace
Whitey - You have the privillage of paying to use the safe space
 

What the duck?
Dammit ..My troll thread idea

They have banned close to 40% of their userbase....most of those are only temp bans

They need to go a little harder i agree

Well they did try lighter bans and warnings but apparently, it just didn't work. (According to the mods)

The bans are quite honestly the funniest thing about the place.
 

Oh my god, PLEASE do it! Ban Dunkey! He's more normie than Angry Joe and probably has more actual contacts in the industry as well. This is also going to piss off a lot of the userbase that's almost sort of cool with the culture there. This is going to be amazing.

The thread got locked to review if he should be removed. They should at this point just delete the video game side of ERA.

Like it's already nuts that the biggest individual Youtuber is banned there, but the thing with Pewdiepie is 1. he doesn't live in America and so he's more tangentially connected to other content creators rather than the industry itself and 2. gaming isn't the biggest focus for him anymore and hasn't been for a while.

Dunkey is different. He's basically the biggest gaming internet personality that doesn't target children and is well liked among developers and other content creators alike, with even some journalists going to bat for him even if he managed to piss some off over that one video game journalism video.

Banning him is definitely going to cause some resentment among some "connected" people that still post there. It'll just be another thing to add to the pile alongside them bullying John from Digital Foundry off the site.

Can someone explain to me why ERA doesn't seem to go down in user numbers? Are they really getting new people at a rate that is at least equivalent to the rate they're banning people?

Well, yes actually. That and a steady stream of alt troll accounts to keep things ticking along.

Era has really good SEO, so people that find the place naturally are going to end up signing up. Then you got some people that have inflated its level of importance in their minds like communities looking for leaks and whatnot, so they hear about the place and try to sign up as well. Of course you also have to take into account trolls and alts signing up.

That said activity levels and unique posters are always going to be the metric to watch rather than actual membership number. New sign ups do indeed outpace bans in the long run (at least for now), but conversely, they do not outpace members that go inactive. Active posters number in the 4-6k range (not taking into account active alts) when at one point it was 8k+. Right now, that number is supposedly on the decline, but it's hard to know because there was a hardware failure involved in the method to find these numbers, so who actually knows at this point.

But still, the member count on the front page means nothing if only 1/10th of that number actually posts regularly with that number seemingly not getting any bigger.

Man I love this. On page 1 they are already discussing the man's parents and heritage in order to decide whether or not he is legally allowed to use certain words. What an amazing world these people live in.

What did Dunkey ever do? All he does is make funny videos.
I mean that's debatable. :p

It is much easier to create problems than solve them.

the user numbers of the banned accounts still stay in the total count
the number you should look at is the unique posters which has been on a downward trend ever since the site opened....if your site was healthy and the userbase was growing that number would be on a very sharp trend up
but as Reee is internet cancer its slowly rotting away while they are eating their own

you can view it all here

Because every time people like Angry Joe curse that site they get publicity and as the saying goes, "bad publicity is better than no publicity."

If everyone just ignored Resetera it will probably just go away.

His crime is that he enjoys videogames and makes daft wee videos about them.

Everybody knows videogames are serious political business. So if you see Dunkey just enjoying games and having a laugh and not caring about politics then you might think it's OK to do the same.

We can't have that now, can we?

They are the same with SkillUp, Colin Moriarty, Red Letter Media, Angry Joe and even Angry Video Game Nerd.

Basically there's a squad of them who just want these guys blacklisted because they create content that is centered around having a bit of a laugh.

Games are super cereal and we can't have these disgusting white males thinking that it's just entertainment and escapism.
