Do you have a block list?
I barely know what that is... This entire kerfuffle has made me realize how poorly-run GameFAQs is. Simply, I struggle to see a clear line between problematic user and GameFAQs staff. In truth, I barely lurk the MLP Socials. I only post there to keep my old friends updated. I mostly use GameFAQs for guide-writing purposes these days. It grieves me that I cannot easily transfer my beloved guides elsewhere.

It was pretty funny how error suddenly had an issue with the block list being used to bar certain posters from those topics lol.

But on the other hand the growing prominence of interpersonal drama in those topics meant they were very much veering off track anyway. Like im cool with laughing about how another far right alt got banned but I really couldn't care less about some new discord drama or whatever it is week in week out

He didn't just have an issue with the block list being used, he had an issue with using the block list to taunt blocked posters, doing goofy gossip about them when they couldn't see, and @ing them knowing that they couldn't respond. It's a little bit more than just barring problem posters from the topic

I still haven't got confirmation that Goats even did that. Also why not just punish Goats and let JMO host again?

The 'gossip' stuff was literally always there insofar as referencing and discussing the reasons why some random alt was suspended constitutes gossip.

This board is an absolute joke.

I'm sitting here trying to figure out how in the fuck anyone would take any of this seriously.

Preschoolers honestly have more compelling playground arguments then this shitshow.

Get a life, jeez. Literally anything, ANYTHING, would be better then this. Go poke dog turds with sticks or something.

Like many others have said, the Warned General started with the simple concept of having a compiled list of users getting into trouble. I encouraged it because I thought if you kept getting put into the topic as a listed troublemaker, you'd curve your posting style. Within the topic, everyone also casually shitposted. Everyone. We'd ask what everyone had for lunch, how their day was like, what people had plans for the weekend.

And then things started to change. It soon became a place where certain people used it to act superior, holier than thou, to act completely self-righteous, to simply be a grumpy objective person. Because of personal vendettas, a certain group decided to block users they didn't like for whatever, little to no reason so they couldn't join in no more.

It obviously became a circle jerk, an echo chamber, a safe space for these users to not only post who they only themed worthy of being on the list of Warned, but also a place to shit talk about any opposing users. These topics should have been stopped right then and there but the mods let it drag on until now where they finally realize it is what it is. I guess better late than never.

I encouraged the warned general when it started due to the fact we were getting too many warned topics, and over time I did feel like its purpose was running its course and it became boring.

Also the users that were warned, suspended or banned tended to be the same users over and over and over again.

It felt like it became Specific User Warned The Thread.

It became a problem when users like stone got mad when you posted users getting warned he themed not worthy to report. This triggered him greatly. Also it was hilarious when JMO started getting mad when people outside of his click started to casually post things non-related to people getting warned.

Good move. I am still new to this community (Been in CE since July-ish.) But from what I could tell that group was nothing but a cesspool of people jeering people getting modded and frankly obbsessing over it.

it's sad nobody can think for themselves anymore. They have to wait for an authority figure to be for or against something before coming to their own conclusion.

The thing about GameFAQs is that in 2020 its still fucking GameFAQs, recognizable and all. Not a husk. It's comforting.
