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.
Site has been running just fine for 25+ years, suddenly fandom gets ahold of it and trust and safety is a problem huh

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 about the current events topics that take place on the NGS social board? That contains alot of charged, extreme right wing discussion on world politics, generally. Will that be deleted, or remain as is?

Say what you will, from my viewpoint this place has gotten better. Well, maybe not the Isreal threads. But overall better. The level limit on CE really helped keep a lot of the lower-effort trolls out.

No. They are banning politics sitewide essentially. So our options are basically CE open but politics banned or CE private but politics allowed.

I won't disagree the higher limit has made things better. I was more laughing at the idea that the only thing that will keep CE alive is the users being respectful enough to each other to keep the head count high enough for the board to stay active. It may have filtered out all the lower effort trolls, but there are still plenty of people who are so emotionally charged around politics that they seem to literally be unable to keep themselves from screaming at users until they get banned.

Frankly it would be lovely if they reopened the Politics board as well in a similar "LUE-like" fashion. Purg = death and only older accounts would quickly weed out basically any and all of the trolls.

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.

ie: Stuff like this. Don't do this anymore.

That's what I assumed but thank you for the clarification

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?

Its incredibly easy to get purgd cause it can happen over a misunderstanding or even less. Ive been suspended three times in 20 1/2 years here. One was for literally a typo and another was back in January for something I neither said nor even remotely implied. But once youre suspended, you have no opportunity to point it out to the mod or the admin.

Anyways, this site was always a tax writeoff for Fandom. This board will be dead shortly after the election and not too long after that GameFAQs will completely cease to exist. Wasnt a bad run, but this site was obsolete over a decade ago.

People were saying that's what they should have done from the beginning.

TBH maybe they should reopen it and ban political discussion on CE. That way if you get banned on 261 you can still talk on CE or something. IDK.

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.

-Ban 261 because they hate political discussions
-Only to turn CE into a private politics board which...is what 261 members had been asking for for decades

Tell me "oops, we fucked up" without directly saying it.
