At first I like the idea of banning users who get purge and new users. Should cut down the number of trolls on here. Then again like others have been saying, this could be next step to eventually getting rid of Current Events and the other boards entirely. Which that would be sad if it happens.

LOL so basically all thats gonna be left are a small handful of aging armchair activists patting each other on the back over how much they agree on everything. Welp, ill ride this account until the wheels fall off. RIP GameFAQs, its been a, well, its been a time.

I swear every poster in Gamefaqs history with toast in their username brings only negativity to CE
Magic Toaster was a great poster tho
Neon >_>
When is Fandom just going to straight up shoehorn all the ads like an xbox interface like they've done with their game focused wikis?

We all know the end goal is to gain as much profit out of a website as possible, forsaking ease of use for the end user.

Just get it over with and force us to go somewhere else already.

How easy is it to get purgatory and lose CE access forever? Dont you get put into purgatory while theyre deciding what to do with your account for anything more than a no karma loss moderation?
I don't think so. I'm pretty sure it defaults to Suspended unless you're a repeat offender or do something REALLY stupid.
Look, I can name a few instances in MY life where I tried to reach mutual understanding
and i can TELL you, always faster and easier to just kill em. Just is!

So no politics discussion outside of this board. Might as well just rename it Politics

Potd board is about to get way more popular as people lose access to CE

That's kinda what I was thinking when I saw this. Are there rules to keep people from posting political topics over there? If not, I assume this change is going to come with more rules about that to keep it contained here.

Fandom needs to focus on their true audience, the millions of people who need text based FAQs on obscure Super Nintendo JRPGs

Dont think anyone should be happy about this tbh

its obviously the next step in killing discussion on this site altogether

Agreed. It interferes with genuine discussion and does a great job of throttling one of the last bastions of forum culture in the name of profit motive. Politics are intrinsically intertwined with gaming. Ive been against any change to remove discussion about them on the website (besides banning general political threads outside of social/dedicated politics boards).

Locking down this board is also a horrible decision. It is one of the most popular boards on the site, and did not have the problems that caused LUE to be locked down. Its disappointing to see the community Ive been a part of for over a decade get treated this way.

This is the beginning of them closing down all the social boards for good, isnt it?
Probably not. I can't say too much on the subject, but the goal is not to close down all social boards. From the announcement post their primary concern is toxicity. CE is essentially being spared the hammer on political talks, as long as people retain some modicum of decorum. Any other social board should be fine since they're not related to politics.

What the hell is hornyposting, anyways?
You're allowed to talk about if people are cute / attractive / maybe even sexy. You aren't allowed to make posts that would make say, a 13 year old girl visiting GameFAQs feel like this is a hostile environment towards women.

LUE didn't have a "problem" it was a dramatic overreaction to the livejournal invasion.

I would assume that is what they are hoping for. Fuck the users, and all that jazz.

Hey, at least they gave a heads up this time instead of nuking it in the dead of night like they did with 261. Baby steps!

That's something I can look forward to. I remember the flood of alts that came rolling by on 261 right after the 2016 US elections.

If nothing else, GameFAQs can be proud that it forced Fandom to use the term 'hornyposting' in an official release.

It's supposedly a trust and safety issue with Fandom. No idea what that means from our end, as it may as well effectively be a black box.
