...Wow.

They say they're not eliminating political discussions, but confining all political subjects to one board that has been walled off, is all but explicitly just that. Can't say I completely blame them, though; political topics are easily the most likely to stir up drama.

No way they'll ever be able to effectively enforce the "hornyposting" thing though; certain characters & games will always ensure a plausible defense.

I can't help but wonder who will be the last CEman standing.

Also I find it interesting that DToast didnt post the announcement himself and its some random admin working for Fandom.

Almost makes me think that even DToast himself didnt get a say in this and that the higher ups at Fandom put the hammer down.

Or... and this is speculation (at the moment), there was an internal struggle over this decision and rather than put DToast's head on the block they brought in another, higher level person to "make the decision".

That's the generous reading of the situation. There could be a less generous version as well. If there was a behind the scenes struggle it might be difficult to know which side anyone was on.

Doesn't any mods have any blithe remarks that they want to post itt? Those are usually my favorite whenever a topic is about to be locked. It's like in shows when the cop hurls an insult at the perpetrator they just captured and beat up, always makes for a humorous scene.
We were told in advance and got most of our angst out ahead of time. :P
I'm just here to answer questions if I can, but I think I covered everything I wanted to in the last topic. Feel free to ping me if you want. Dealing with some vertigo so I may be slow to respond but I'll try to help where I can.

Who's gonna win the Victory Royale in Fortnite: CE edition

My life fades. The vision dims. All that remains are memories. I remember a time of chaos, ruined dreams, this wasted land. But most of all, I remember the forum warrior, the man we called Vegy. To understand who he was we have to go back to the other time, when the internet was powered by black humor and ISPs sprouted great forums of content and controversy gone now, swept away. For reasons long forgotten two mighty Fandoms went to war and touched off a blaze which engulfed them all. Without users they were nothing. They'd built a house of straw. The thundering topics sputtered and stopped. Their leaders talked and talked and talked, but nothing could stem the avalanche. Their world crumbled. Forums exploded a whirlwind of shitposting, a firestorm of fear. Men began to feed on men.

On social boards it was a white-line nightmare. Only those mobile enough to quickpost, subtle enough to criticize would survive. The mods took over the highways, ready to wage war, and in this maelstrom of decay ordinary men were battered and smashed men like Vegy, the warrior Vegy. In the roar of a policy-change, he lost everything and became a shell of a man, a burnt-out desolate man, a man haunted by the demons of his posts, a man who wandered out into the wasteland. And it was here, in this blighted place, that he learned to live again.

Seriously. You and me had a disagreement over the opioid crisis the other day, do you think either of us deserve to be banned for life over it? I dont. But now depending on some random douchebags personal definition of trolling or politics, one of us probably would be.

So someone asked about posting an Ivy Soulcalibur trailer, and the mod said that would not be punished as hornyposting... but what if the game itself was horny?

Like what if they made a new DOA Xtreme Beach Volleyball trailer and it was just zero gameplay and the girls rubbing suntan lotion on each other and jiggle physics and all that jazz?

And if that can be posted, but users are still punished for hornyposting about it, which is really the only kind of posting about it that can be done since it's inherently horny, doesn't that mean it just shouldn't be allowed in the first place since it encourages hornyposting?

idk probably thinking about this too much, more than it's been thought about already at least

I've been coming here for a long time. As annoying as people can be here, it's much less cringey and abusive than what I've seen on Twitter, Reddit, etc, it's easier to have actual conversations, and the culture was just better. I learned a lot here.

But it seems like this is basically the end and it's about time to move on from GameFaqs as a whole. The only reason I come here for gaming related stuff is for PS1-3 era RPG walkthroughs when I don't want to just copy a visual guide.

Corporate control of community spaces is antithetical to free and meaningful conversations. The profit motive incentives businesses to disregard the actual needs and desires of users in favor of sanitized, soulless, ad friendly "content." It's disgusting and it's destroyed a unique and useful space.
