USER WAS WARNED FOR: Discussion of NeoGaf or it's owner (please check announcements for more info)
The lack of integrity from Jason (and others in the industry) is one of the reasons why Tyler and NeoGAF got away with so much bullshit for so long.

To be completely candid, until last Thursday, the only allegation I had seen about Tyler Malka was his gross post about Spain. I had also seen vile websites and banned subreddits going after him, which made it difficult to filter the truth from the trolling. There's a lot to unpack here, and I'm sure more will come out in the coming days/weeks/months, but the suggestion that I would intentionally ignore this because I had Malka do an AMA on Kotaku (or because I wanted to protect him) is horrible and wrong. And we will keep following this story and covering it wherever it leads.

The AMA Kotaku hosted, in 2015, at least 3 users commented and asked about the revenge porn he posted.

For someone who didn't seem to have an issue getting blacklisted by publishers for leaking things which obviously isn't something studios wanted to be public, he handled the entire thing poorly from the very beginning.

separating the signal from the noise becomes impossible when the sources are unknown and/or assumed trolls. the waters are muddied. do they care about victims? do they have a personal grudge against someone or something? it seems to me like integrity is a tricky thing to quantify, but surely the quality of sources matter.

Are you the kittens who got permed because some issue with Evilore conduct you didn't like and in your last post says something like " cannot support a basement dweller website "?

If so, good to see you again!
I don't remember my exact wording, but that sounds like something I'd say

hiya :)

Glad to see everyone back here. I’m not much of a poster but always felt this is one of the best communities for video games.

He even banned me once I'm fairly sure and Im quite happy to see him back. I semi deserved it as well and your statement is quite hyperbolic. I do admit that now in hindsight it was kinda dumb, but back then it was quite exciting to see him mass swing the hammer on obvious marketing accounts with dubious registration details. Perhaps he went too far in the end, but I kinda doubt he targeted xbox fans on purpose considering of the sheer volume of people that got a ban at one point or another. If anything the attitude of a good chunk of the whole forum against xbox fans was unfortunate which hopefully wont repeat itself

This.

One of the beautiful things about this foroum is that it was literally a reset. They have given everyone a new start. They have laid out the rules, and everyone is being judged on their conduct and not their past. While I know this won’t magically make your criticisms or past feelings go away, it’s a fair deal since it applies to everyone.

One of the reasons this forum is so positive and enjoyable, is that the staff decided to shed all baggage and let the community start new.

First post here... It's SO amazing to see so many familiar faces, in regard to the users AND mods/admins.

This site has probably made history in a few days. I <3 y'all.

I never had an account on the other board, but I spent an awful lot of time browsing the off-topic section. So, I'm a new face around here :) Resetera has been really positive and welcoming, so I'll be settling in for the long haul.

Speaking as someone kicked off the old board for what I thought was a harmless comment, I really like the giant red banners above moderated posts explaining exactly why they're a problem. It's good stuff.

Completely unrelated to the topic at hand, but I REALLY like the red mod edits re: warnings, bans, etc... I mean REALLY like, "enough to ask that svelte red banner on a date".

EDIT: Perhaps I should have the post right before mine.

Glad to see all the Street fighter community regulars again. I was devastated for a solid few days. :’(

Honeymoon phase, but also the obvious QoL changes which promotes conversations (alerts are a godsend) + increased mod transparency features + return of many names which contributed to what made the original forums great. It's a giant round 2 situation but everyone has learned from the mistakes.
