Current Events > Oh FUCK! Current Events got the LUE treatment and is now a private board

(+) Yeah! (+)

Whoa. That's kinda wild.

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?

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.

Damn one Purge and CE is gone

Slow death of the board is all but certain

I'm essentially a read only account because of this. I enjoyed my time with you all. Goodbye

Dang...I had no idea this was going on...

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

How would he indulge his victimization fetish if he did that though?

Tails gonna be insufferable.

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.

they should have announced this on april 1st

Oh snap

So I guess all those topics with 100s of posts of asses and such are no more? >_>

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.

Oh damn. Purgatory means no CE permanently. The trolls are about to thin out real quick

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.

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?

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.

I like how you are telling yourself this.

I hope not. I like the ass topics. Some really good badonkadonks in there

Wtf

No additional users will be allowed to view or post on the board going forward.

Wow. How to actually kill the board. People leave, no one new allowed to replace them. Good job morons.

It'll be fun to watching the board turn to dust I guess.

Not just the political extremists that bully everyone off the site.

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.

Can mods clarify if a video game waifu of the year poll would be considered horny posting?

Mods pls respond

CE is the only thing keeping this site alive. Without it, Gamefaqs is dead.

rip CE

:(

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

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.

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.

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.

What are my opinions?

this is bad ass

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.

Like we could trust you not to lie about them.

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.
