They are trying to make the site welcoming for gamers. Not just the political extremists that bully everyone off the site. And the hornyposting scares off female gamers, too mucy misogyny.
CE is the entire site? Why don't you just block the scary politics if they bother you so much

CE is already gated behind 50 karma. You literally gotta spend nearly 2 months on the site AND poke around in the social boards corner to even find it. It's not like CE is out front for the masses.

As opposed to?
Fair.

EDIT: It's just funny because I check Reddit for my username every so often and just now, like an hour ago, stumbled across him and his little "plan to get CE shut down".

Eh, whatever. It'll be interesting to see "and then what" hit him.

Meh. The political posts have been getting a bit much in recent years. I'm sad because it means the board will die a slow death however I won't be sad to see numerous posters that spend their entire time either creating new accounts or coming back after purges stinking up the joint. Mixed feelings. End of the day this is a gaming site.

Random Insanity about to get much busier

Yeah that's a good point. There's also PoTD

There are still other boards, they are just making it really tedious for everyone. Who has an attachment to the board itself rather than the people on it?
Some guys have all the luck, Some guys have all the pain
Some guys get all the breaks, Some guys do nothing but complain
Gfaqs is lame, and LUE became even more lame and toxic the smaller it got, bringing up bs "lore" from like 10 fuckin years ago even you just make a simple comment in a thread.

RIP CE.

Did not expect this.
It's more than good, it's alive!

The people calling out your nonsense aren't the problem. Though at the least your "opinions" will see you very quickly with one less place to cry about being silenced on.
Just because I have 99% of a heart doesn't mean it can't kill me. It's tried. Twice.

If it's about not wanting politics posts, why not just ban politics posts? Hell, if it's about sticking to gaming, why aren't all the other social non-gaming boards getting boarded up?

youll miss the trolls when theyre gone
I don't get why they don't just trash all but the most recent game forums at this point. I cannot imagine the the traffic the site gets would be impacted in any way. Pretending they actually care while slowly removing and modifying things over time is always such a silly approach.

I think the jist is, just don't "be weird" about it, so to speak
aka TritochZERO
Well, I hope that everyone who wants to stay in communication with one another has back-up plans made in case this board, or even this site, restricts posting.

Also, we're going to need an actual definition by this site's standards on what hornyposting is.
Without truth, there is nothing.

Honestly this all feels like a measure to appease some level of corporate rather than something that will actually have a major effect on the site.

I don't... really see *new* people coming to CE at all these days. The vast majority of us are old hands of at least five years, and over ten years is still a majority.

The only thing is that if people who dropped off the face of the site for years decided they want to come back, they'll find they can't. Happened with a few people in the last few months.

I might be saying too much here but fuck it. They almost did? There was going to be an announcement (not on CE being walled) on the 31st and then the walling was supposed to be I think the 3rd of April. Things happened and it got pushed back, but yeah it would have been close enough to april fools that people would have thought it was a late joke.

Others don't get to dictate what's normal and what isn't. It's something we decide for ourselves.

I promise you, in all the years I've used boards on this site, that has never once been true.

Fuck em all, good riddance.

Why are they getting so restricting when the average age of the CE user is over 30. Let people shitpost for fun.

Also! I can't see how CE really impacts anything else on the site. You need to go looking for it.

I wonder if they'll try and shutter the boards entirely. Maybe have the answers section only. A quora of gaming.

Also no more "hornyposting"

Welp, I guess this means my sexy anime women topic is done for. I'm gonna keep posting pics until either the current one hits 500 or they start deleting posts from it, but the current one will be the last one either way.

Depends. Political discussion as it relates directly to gaming is still allowed. A lot of things also still aren't technically a political issue even if politicians like to make it that way. For example, I certainly wouldn't be moderating posts talking about the BLM stuff in Spider Man games. For one, when I was in the military we were explicitly told that BLM is not a political statement, and that soldiers were allowed to participate. And for two, it's in the game itself. People can totally talk about that.

But yes anything outside of that scope has to go. If NGS has a handful of extremely politically charged topics those probably need to go. The board itself should be fine though. It's just a social board for general gaming right? Hope that clears some stuff up.

Hmm. Alright. Thanks for the clarification.

I understand this is a gaming website first and foremost.

Tons of search results go to gameFAQs message boards so that's not going to happen. If there's one thing Fandom is good at, it's SEO

My prior snarky post aside, for real, why not revive 261 and just give it the same constraints? High karma limit to join it, and/or private, Purg leads to being banned forever? It's what 261 members wanted for forever, and plenty of CE posters don't care so much about politics talk.

Killing 261 was always dumb. It kept the bulk of political discussions in a box for the site, and users wanted simply a harder barrier to entry to combat the trolls. Deleting it opened that box and allowed it to scatter to the other boards, where it naturally started to take root.

So why not just bring it back and impose these strict limits? Same idea, but without getting CE involved.
