Current Events got the LUE treatment and is now a private board. Part 3

To address some concerns that have been presented to us throughout the last 18 months, we are taking some steps starting today to enhance our rules and guidelines and provide further commentary, resources, and documentation to empower our moderators and community members. By promoting consistency in moderation and addressing specific issues such as hornyposting , ban/purg evasion, and trolling we aim to create a more welcoming and inclusive space for all users.

Furthermore, while we understand the passion surrounding political discussions, we believe it is essential to maintain a focus on gaming-related content. As such, we are implementing a measure to turn the Current Events private. Every user who has visited GameFAQs in the last year and who currently has access to the board will retain access to the board. No additional users will be allowed to view or post on the board going forward. Additionally, any user who is placed in Purgatory (which is always an administrator/staff decision) will permanently lose access to the board. Additionally, political topics outside of CE will be banned.

Its crazy that we are already on topic 3 when this event is only about 24 hours old

Were you around for the MLP Generals in their hayday?

We burned through a topic in 3 hours once.

Kind of sobering that may be the easiest a 500 will ever be. All downhill from here.

What do we do now? Split into factions controlled by warlords?

Good.

This board literally led to a:

Church Burning: https://www.destructoid.com/gamefaqs-poster-burns-down-church-did-it-for-the-lulz/
Mass Shooting Plot: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halifax_mass_shooting_plot
Whatever the heck this is: https://open.substack.com/pub/bariweiss/p/young-men-who-dropped-out-of-dating-pool?

If you want to attract new users, new advertisers, etc you have to quarantine this place. Its a smart business decision.

You should add sbollens topic to da 1st post lol

Actually:

STEROLIZER's post:
The only one of these three links that CE produced was the church thing, and that was almost two decades ago. As mentioned, the second link was RI, and they don't even specify where the third one came from (you just assume that it's CE because the guy was on GameFAQs).

What's funny is that particular user has probably contributed more to the toxicity of the community than anyone else in recent memory

People gave 261 crap for being toxic but we never had any users burn down churches or plan a mass shooting.

Also correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the church guy come back and apologize or admit that he was in a bad place back and and he regrets what he did now?

You did have that user Hydra20 make that crazy ass post >_>

We also had a guy want to landmine the border but to my knowledge he never attempted it. <_<

I can vouch for this place. It's about as close to GameFAQs boards as you can get.

IIRC someone mentioned that the code is based off of the GameFAQs site code from like 2004 (with modern additions obviously)

It feels pretty nice. Obviously it's slow atm since not many people have moved over yet, but it's a good foundation

Oh for 261 I think we did have a user attempt to run for congress as a far right candidate, fail to even get a single vote, and then went to prison for beating his mother.

Hyena?

Didnt he also try to call the Secret Service on GameFAQs for some reason?

Im all honesty the boards run pretty fast for such an outdated code

I remember that guy. Dude was a psycho. Didnt he also try to call the Secret Service on GameFAQs for some reason?

That livestream was terrible, his mom just wanted to sleep and eventually poured his liquor down the sink and he lost it

INTERWEBUSER right?

I forget his real name. Jacob Curnow or something like that

That was Jacob Curnow. He was also a regular on the Injustice boards. I dont normally use this term anymore, but he was a legit lolcow.

Oh I forgot about Hyena. Hyena had a very unhealthy obsession with alt right forums and news and sort of went crazy from it. She used to sort of be reasonable before that obsession then she just started getting more and more crazy.
