[QUOTE=Reimu;46045061]I can do screencaps of posts where I was getting chewed out by the mods if you want. Or where they asked me to stop posting threads.[/QUOTE] That works as well.

Update: got banned from two random SRS subs I haven't posted on in awhile. They're just removing me from the whole damn network: [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/ncXDzTG.png[/thumb]

A. That's hilarious. B. You have fans.

the guy that got fired by SJW's calling his work after getting doxed and creator of #notyourshield goes into full un-intelligable rage mode [URL]https://imgur.com/a/VTro3[/URL] he should calm down

Do you have any idea if they're gonna go into KotakuinAction or move to a different site?

I wrote a small, hastily-written post on Running With Scissors. [url]http://runningwithscissors.com/main/index.php?topic=2003.msg23585#msg23585[/url] For those of you who don't know, RWS is an indie dev that is famous for making the Postal series of games. Within the past year, a big Postal 2 update hit, and it turned out that FP was one of the bigger places talking about it. We were in the FP megathread an a RWS started posting there. He were posting bug reports so much that they decided "fuck it, let's bring these guys in," and about a dozen of us became interns with RWS. So I saw that thread, and noticed how there were no posts that were pro-gg. I was worried that maybe they were deleting posts. (Or maybe not, it's a small community.) The only people talking are one or two standard members, Toploader (my boss,) and some moderators. So, I decided to make my post, to sort of "test the waters." I wanted to see if I would get banned; if I had, I was going to tender my resignation, if I wasn't going to get canned immediately anyway. The good news is that I wasn't. RWS clearly doesn't support GG, but they don't censor them. So if you need more sites for those lists, you can now file RWS somewhere in there.

Here you go. Notice how I have double the upvotes that the mod does for speaking out in support of Eron. Pay attention to the "!" too: Eron's friends were getting banned for supporting [b]an abuse survivor[/b] in the sub: [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/YkGBQiw.png[/thumb] Whoops, sorry! That should have the "!" section now

Yeah, you have fans now.

I was told this. Shortly afterwards, they allowed anti-GG & pro-ZQ/"gamers are dead" posts to flood the sub without any similar censure. [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/xhsCRbf.png[/thumb] Note how the mod calls abuse "a personal matter." Despite the fact that Zoe Quinn shows clear signs of continuing the cycle of abuse in the near future.

this shit is so weird seeing Liana K on these things because i know her personally. She's a long family friend it's kind of cool she's getrting involved but what is this man

And interrupting streams and playing victim even though Milo never brought up the "Tits" subject again and apologized? And even said people were harassing her on twitter when they clearly weren't on a stream?

Yeah, they're like your taking to task the mod team at SRS.

[QUOTE=Xonax;46045190]Wait what? TFYC got stopped from streaming? Did I miss something? someone care to explain? [/QUOTE] twitch told them to stop because it wasn't video games despite the fact they have mega64 podcasts every sunday that is anything but video games and a entire music section

I feel like we've had long chats about what are good games and meals have been shared together :(

[QUOTE=Xonax;46045190]Wait what? TFYC got stopped from streaming? Did I miss something? someone care to explain?[/QUOTE] The first time they did their QA stream it got closed because it wasn't gaming related, so they got someone on another channel to play Ocarina of Time and Portal 2 for four hours while they answered questions.

Yeah that TFYC stream post is old. This is from the first time, several weeks ago. Also I wish I could confirm, that's really based on my analysis of the various PM's I've gotten. I had various different people reach out to me though, basically saying, "Yeah, SRSG is rough for me right now." This happened both on reddit and off-reddit. I also imagine it's representative of a more larger population of people who are leaving/taking a break from SRSG during #GamerGate. I was under the impression that one of the reasons a friend told me about SRS members being "uncomfortable" about my GG twitter posts was because the mods were having a hard time handling SRSG at the moment, and wanted to sort things out. I think there are a lot of pissed off people under the surface, they've just either a.) left, or b.) were banned.
