What the hell is hornyposting, anyways?
I guess sexually charged topics in regards to how hot this irl or anime woman is topics or something.

Im more curious why this is happening now though and if it being a election year has anything to do with it perhaps.

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.

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.

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.

Dont think anyone should be happy about this tbh

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

venture capital ALWAYS makes things worse
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.

_Valigarmanda_ posted...

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.

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!
