Hey guys can we do some digging I doubt this is an isolated incident we get them all together make our voice heard get the bans reversed and ask valve to take away such far reaching powers from devs ,as I don't recall this being the first instance of developer fuckery over reviews and criticism. [editline]7th February 2015[/editline] Also does one even need to post or could they lift dream Ids from anywhere and manually input them for a ban?

With valve's track record I would not be surprised if you could just submit a POST message to ban anyone you want. My friend keeps breaking steam, even I've figured out how to create booster card packs for games I don't even own.

Was there any email or anything saying she banned you?
[QUOTE=Zet;47095825]Was there any email or anything saying she banned you?[/QUOTE] No. It was just when I noticed that she deleted my posts and when I couldn't post anything to other communities, I saw that I was banned. Also under invites it says my privileges is blpcked

[QUOTE=01271;47095868]One less cishet caucasian male.[/QUOTE] Now how the fuck am I suppose to check it :v:
Funnily enough, GG is the least aggressive angry internet mob for its size that I have so far witnessed. That's because the accusations of GG being a hate group has made everyone extremely vigilant in curbing any actual hostility from within towards targets of criticism. I think that's kind of impressive, considering how threats and insults have been up until now not only expected, but an accepted way to express discontent on the internet.
So where is that oh so wonderful Jim? I mean banning users, deleting threads complaining about the game, and trying to bribe steam moderators. I would have thought that he'd be on this in a heart beat. /s

[QUOTE=Rockeiro123;47096046]Jim sterling not that jim.[/QUOTE] Ever since he left the escapist it kind of seems like he dropped off the face of the earth for me. I used to enjoy watching his work too.

Calling out indie developers on their egoistical anti-consumer behavior has never been something he'd do. Especially not when his friends are involved.

Who is Kav P? Apparently he is some Gamergate troll but does anyone here know him?

The trollish behavior is one sided towards agg mostly.

[editline]8th February 2015[/editline] The person is asking what thread I am talking about, should I tell her? I want to see her join and get banned for posting in this thread and trolling us.

I wouldn't link them here.
[QUOTE=Xonax;47096252] The person is asking what thread I am talking about, should I tell her? I want to see her join and get banned for posting in this thread and trolling us.[/QUOTE] It cant do any real harm, can it?
I am home from work ,I am going to see if I can pull some stuff up from some people I know around a few communities. Also what were you generally saying just to narrow down people in a similar position. [editline]7th February 2015[/editline] Im kinda pissed on the principle alone you dont fuck with someones steam account.
[QUOTE=AaronM202;47096386]It cant do any real harm, can it?[/QUOTE] Yeah, because just the other day I was thinking how we totally don't have enough people on FP who make 50 throwaway troll accounts .

You know the claim where people thought that NYS was part of a secret ops on 4chan? I looked more into it, and it turns out that it's false? The most popular usage of the [url=http://topsy.com/analytics?q2=%23notyourshield&via=Topsy&period=6%20months] hashtag started on September 1st.[/url] [url=http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Screen-Shot-2014-09-08-at-3.42.20-PM.png]The 4chan post[/url] that journalists cite appeared on September 2nd. 4chan uses Californian US time, the 4chan post picture was from an ArsTechnicha article with a US author, and Topsy is located in San Francisco US. Therefore, NYS wasn't started on 4chan, it was started on Twitter originally.

This time span could use a quick infographic though. [editline]edit[/editline] It's really irrelevant anyway though, because the allegation it was astroturfed and fake is already disproven by the videos of #NotYourShield users being quite obviously not white and/or male. It's obviously possible that some of it was, but that doesn't matter when you can show at least a large part to be demonstrably real.
[QUOTE=Crazy Ivan;47091604]I believe GamerGate may need to challenge Common Core.[/QUOTE] I think not too long ago (a month?) some 8channers were at least looking in to CC, but it was before this stir. [QUOTE=Rockeiro123;47095293]Get in touch with steam support, they must surely have a log of deleted posts.[/QUOTE] They do, as would the group-specific mods (they see the post themselves still but not the public).
