So latecomers can see it and we can have a central discussion in a unified topic. Dont forget to check out the CE discords and spinoff site below so we can all stick together

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/6-gamefaqs-announcements/80747432

To address some concerns that have been presented to us throughout the last 18 months, we are taking some steps starting today to enhance our rules and guidelines and provide further commentary, resources, and documentation to empower our moderators and community members. By promoting consistency in moderation and addressing specific issues such as hornyposting, ban/purg evasion, and trolling we aim to create a more welcoming and inclusive space for all users.

Furthermore, while we understand the passion surrounding political discussions, we believe it is essential to maintain a focus on gaming-related content. As such, we are implementing a measure to turn the Current Events private. Every user who has visited GameFAQs in the last year and who currently has access to the board will retain access to the board. No additional users will be allowed to view or post on the board going forward. Additionally, any user who is placed in Purgatory (which is always an administrator/staff decision) will permanently lose access to the board. Additionally, political topics outside of CE will be banned.

Update: Other boards have now been closed, including the Sex, Hot Girls, and Religion boards.

Can somebody explain to me where there are Fandom wiki out there with some fairly blue content, given a game or franchises subject material, and such sites seem to get along fine. Do the same rules apply to content on such wiki as here or are there different rule threshold? Is the threshold discussions regarding controversial or blue content vs it merely existing on the site as a function of the content itself?

Does that make sense? I figure this is explained somewhere but I haven't seen it.

Damn, I liked lurking the Religion board. First I'm hearing about that one being gone. There were several knowledgeable posters there that had some real good respectful discussions. Sure not everyone on there was respectful and open-minded, but overall it was a good place.

My dream is this closed board could be our own little refugee bubble, but realistically there's not time left for these boards.

The official statement was "Safety and trust, along with toxicity".

To simplify it a bit more, Toasty doxxed himself and decided to blame CE for it. In addition Toasty and Timmy said that they received death threats, which didn't originate from us, but we were blamed for that as well.

If they DO shut down CE, spread this topic's content to the other boards and if you really want fandom to have it, give it to the banned folks too:

CE is going to be shut down for the political, horny, and trolling stuff. The latest drama is DTT got doxxed (I am not pointing fingers as they're handing out bans like candy) but it happened and the crosshairs are on CE.

This site is crashing, boys. There isn't enough interest in forums like these and the fandom money is getting agitated that it is not a hip, young adult friendly vibe/ad factory.

They were always going to shut the boards down. Whether we complained about it or not is irrelevant, it was always going to happen.

Toasty and Timmy both practically said it themselves.

If they shut down all the social boards at once they'd probably have a lot more moderation work to deal with.

Reduce blowback, don't make the news, if they do make the news then every shutdown so far is because they are doing something positive about bad faith users.

Wasn't religion an open social board? Those others were community boards.

Honestly, in this day and age, "Someone doxxed me/sent death threats" is the justification for any action taken. You don't even have to prove it happened. Just be vague, say it happened, and boom; changes.

Nah, the "feedback" topic on changes showed that. Grievances aired and nothing was going to be done. A common tactic. "We hear your concerns" and then do the opposite or nothing. This clip is always the perfect show of that.

Not the point.
