Forums - General Discussion - Got a Ban on NeoGaf...

I abandoned NeoGaf at my first chance. My first and main requirement to stay on a forum/page is that the mod team is good. VgChartz page delivers that, in my opinion, so here I am :P

You have to have a specific world view on gaf when it comes to anything not completely game related, otherwise you won't last long at all.

 


You have to be a politically correct left wing liberal neo-progressive. Other views are not respected and people get jumped on pretty hastily. It's a good place for video game news, but a horrible place that does not like or accept other's ideas. 

Mods get free reign to be douches and most of them take full advantage of said doucheness.

 

Fixed that for you. We need to stop associating neo-progressivism with liberalism because they are very different ideologies that are fundamentally opposed in many ways. I myself am extremely liberal (because I enjoy living in a free society) and my views are very unpopular with authoritarians like the GAF mods and admins.

 

For example?

Neo-progressives often oppose personal liberty, equality of opportunity (in favor of quotas), laissez-faire capitalism (progressivism originated as a right wing movement specifically to oppose the perceived excesses of the free market), freedom of assembly, freedom of the press, freedom of speech and freedom of thought (among others). I don't understand how so many people conflate these radically different (often directly opposing) ideologies. They mix like oil and water and the left wing's pathetic attempts and merging them is simultaneously amusing and terrifying.

To put it as simply as possible, liberalism is about individualism and freedom. If you oppose the basic tenants of liberalism by say, advocating for censorship and quotas, you are not liberal. Neo-progressives are not liberal, the left wing is not liberal (for the most part) and many people who call themselves liberal certainly are not.



i saw that comment i dont get where the "ghetto" gangster even comes from to be honest with you.

You haven't even played the campaign... how could know there's no honor etc.

Idk about banning you, but i could understand that it could be interpreted as racist, when you throw the term ghettoganster around when talking about the black mafia (especially when we know so little about the story)



Just when I thought Sonyfaqs was bad...

Funny because I'm against title ix and affirmative action. Give it to the most qualified individual.

Neogaf is definitely against freedom of thought and speech. They are as bigoted as the people they call bigots.

Agree with the underlined. As for the bold I love how everyone is more or less ignoring the fact that it was an incredibly poor choice of words. Id never use that on VGChartz and dropping it on NeoGAF is just asking for it. Like really, what did you expect? If you said that in real life more than one person would raise an eyebrow.



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

Im 50/50 on affirmitive action. Depends on circumstances, levels of education and the country in general. It may be different in places like North America and Europe in general but in the developing world affirmitive action is down right necessary. Its called a poverty trap. Case in point, how the hell do you expect low earning and uneducated parents (e.g South Africans post Apartied) to pay for their kids higher education (colledge)? And if they dont get a college degree how the hell do they get a decent job? And if they dont get a better job how do they pay their own kids tuition? Rinse and repeat over several geneations and most will still be stuck at the bottom. In such situattions I cant see any viable solution apart from affirmitive action  or deliberately locking out an entire demographic for several generations while they build capacity at a snails pace. It shouldnt run forever but it must be present for minority groups or whatever to at least allow them to get a foot in the door, at which point it can be scrapped when the playing field is finally made "fair".

People complain about VGC's moderation, but GAF is much worse in that regard.

Not at all actually. it is the opposite. 

I have been a member of Neogaf and here for a long time. I have never been banned on Gaf for sharing my opinion wheras I was consitently getting banned on this for stupid reasons. Mods on power trips here. 

I don't post here often anymore so I don't even know if the  same mods are here anymore.

Gaf is A LOT bigger than Vgchartz so they have a bigger job to do there and they are great at it

You most likely got banned for a stupid commment that contributed little to the discussion and your comment was pretty stupid and childish
