LUE is still fine after 20 years. This isn't as bad as people are fearing.
This is worse. LUE had time to signup and if you got purg'd you can still come back. CE's is worse because it's instant and if you get purg'd you're out forever.

Plus what LUE did was much worse than CE's political topics and hornyposting. It makes no sense

The irony is CE, as bad as it often is, is still better than the far majority of the other boards here.
Yeah, some of the game and system boards are toxic as fuck. CE is way more chill but they still get punished

I pretty much stopped posting on game boards as soon as I found CE. shit like Path of Exile and every blizzard game, WoW especially, have people that have been trolling those boards for 20+ years now.

Yeah this is bad. Might as well just give up on it as a whole, you make even one slightly controversial post about a topic going on, & if someone marks it & a Mod can file it under any reason in the list you're gone.

The accountability & ability to argue your case is almost nonexistent now yes, but it'll just be a one strike & you're out, with the Moderators basically completely in control of how quickly this corner of the website exists for.

Game boards are only good if you're really interested in a game. And you can't post off topic. It sounds like that's what they want, a site that only discusses games. If everyone from CE moved to Random Insanity or another dead social board it would end up getting the same treatment.

If I got booted from CE I'd have no reason to come to gamefaqs again. No desire to post on dead game and system boards or talk about nothing but that. I haven't read a guide here since youtube became the place to go. It's faster and often more convenient if you're stuck on something and just want to get past it.

Man it'll be a bummer now having these boards for whatever meltdowns could happen in the future. Console market is in a weird spot so we could see all sorts of crazy developments in the future. If Nintendo releases a game on Steam I wanna be here dammit.

But did they have the same restrictions? Like if a user got purg'd and came back, could they return to LUE afterwards or was it completely cut off?
Nope. LUE was cut off during the CJayC years so he wasn't being a dick about it. A lot of us floated over here or just got busy with life so now there's still new threads and posts being made, just not at the speed it use to. Like the days when we could 500 a topic about fart stories, soccer mom encounters, and bathroom mishaps

I suppose this is one way to stop the alt-right shitposters who constantly make/buy accounts and make bad faith topics.

But that leaves me with a few questions:

1) How will discussions of inherently political games be handled?

2) Will other social boards that aren't gaming-specific receive the same treatment over time?

3) What exactly is Fandom's endgame with the site as a whole? Since actions like this will drive down site traffic, what's their long term plan to attract (and keep) new users?

4) When the FUCK are they going to make Cloudy Blue the default color theme and not make it forget your choice every 30 days?
