GamingThread Clarification about my last thread about Life is Strange 3 and 4
Red Text When we verify a rumor we normally never elaborate publicly on what evidence we're shown, in order to protect the careers of the people involved, and to ensure that others can feel confident in approaching us with information. In this case however we have no choice but to be more specific because our own integrity has now been called into question.

GamingThread VGC's Platform of the Year is PlayStation 4
Red Text Alright let's try this again. We've had to lock two VGC awards threads in recent days because people haven't been able to act like adults. For the record yesterday we reviewed the Phil Spencer thread and issued a large number of bans for Sony console warriors who derailed it – what we found was that the thread was fine, initially, and nobody cared about Transistor's lukewarm take about PR until some usual suspects decided to turn the thread into a battleground. Those usual suspects are now banned.

EtcetEraThread Potential ResetEra Data Breach (Appears to be False, See Threadmark)
Red Text Let’s clear this up: Our tech team investigated claims of a data breach and found no evidence of such on our end. We have no reason to believe our database has been compromised. What appears to have happened is that a determined troll gained access to a small number of accounts through known-leaked passwords (from breaches on other sites) and/or brute forcing weak passwords. One of the IPs used by the troll in question, not to mention the writing style, matches those used by a banned member who has long been engaged in alt right harassment against our community.

EtcetEraThread NY Times: Democratic Leaders Willing to Risk Party Damage to Stop Bernie Sanders
Red Text We're going to keep this thread open for now, so long as it doesn't turn into a second primary OT.

For good this time.

People should treat this situation with the seriousness that it calls for and not just fearmonger. Any postings failing to do may be subject to moderation.

EtcetEraThread Vice: Reporters and Activists Are Being Harassed for Saying Kobe Bryant Was Credibly Accused of Rape (Read Staff Posts)
Red Text We won't be locking this thread unless hostilities get out of hand. While Kobe did a lot of good in the world, and was beloved by a great many people as a result, that does not erase the hurt he has inflicted on others. While a moment where nine people, three of whom were children, died horribly is not the place or time to bring up the bad he has done, it is a part of his legacy and deserves to be discussed and not swept under the rug.

No one likes how these threads turn out and because we can all agree on this fact, it means that everyone involved needs to do better. As such, we are reopening this thread.

EtcetEraThread Trump tweets spliced together video of Ilhan Omar and 9/11
Red Text The previous Staff Post was not meant to prevent people from criticizing anyone's response to past incidents. Its purpose was to make clear that using past criticisms of Congresswoman Omar to rationalize why she is been attacked here will be met with moderation, as this is quite transparently motivated by bigotry. The broader political context can still be discussed. Our Staff Post was never meant to prevent discussion on that, and has now been edited to be clearer.

Red Text Ok, enough, this thread isn't about US policy in the Middle East and how that excuses Russia's actions here or anything resembling that. This thread is about the fighting between Russia and Ukraine and the policies surround it. Next person to try and cause a derail gets actioned for it.

EtcetEra HangoutsThread US PoliERA 2018 |OT10| McConnell is "mule piss"
Red Text Guys, just a head's up. If you post fake news you're going to get banned. If we think you did it deliberately to troll or some other reason, it's going to be a perm. So just check your sources, we all know what's real and what's not. If I'm honest, I don't foresee this being an issue going forward, but I'd be remiss if I didn't give you all a head's up. People come in here and have an expectation that what they read is real and can be trusted. If I have to ban people to keep it that way, so be it.

EtcetEraThread I'm at the ER no insurance lol
Red Text Guys, I get it. We're all worried about him, he's been a big part of this community for a long time, but that doesn't mean we should be trying to find where he lives or whatever you guys are doing. If there's new news on him we can either unlock this thread or make a new one, but I don't want anyone trying to doxx him. Even if you have good intentions, that's somewhere we aren't going. Because that's something that can't be undone.

EtcetEra HangoutsThread US PoliERA 2018 |OT8| Truth isn't truth, but jail is still jail
Red Text Guys, if you want to post a tweet thread then post the first tweet and indicate it's part of a thread, or just post the article it's summarizing. Posting almost entire tweet threads takes up a lot of screen space and can be disruptive. If you want to post a tweet of any kind you can, but we'd appreciate a little bit of your own commentary to go along with it.

EtcetEraThread Daily beast: 2020 Democratic prospects already making moves behind the scenes
Red Text This is a thread about the various 2020 contenders for the democratic presidential nomination, as such you should be discussing that. What you should not be doing is getting overly hostile towards each other or sniping at each other and/or other communities. Cut it out or leave the thread.

EtcetEraThread The Terror - 1840s icy horror anthology - Mondays on AMC
Red Text OK, the rule is you either need to keep all book stuff under spoilers or take it to it's own thread. If you all decide to have book discussion be spoiler tagged in this thread please mark it with "book discussion" or "speculation based on book" or something to indicate that it features spoilers from the books. I'm adding this to the OP so this is the rule going forward. Any book talk should be under clearly marked spoiler tags.

EtcetEraThread Disney severs ties with James Gunn after controversial tweets
Red Text Quick reminder: While it is possible for people to grow and change and ask forgiveness, that does not mean that everyone is required to forgive. The role of hate groups in this incident should not be overlooked, but simply feeling that Gunn’s tweets were unforgivable does not make someone a member or sympathizer of said groups.

EtcetEraThread Politico: Mueller Releases Itemized List (Manafort Trial)
Red Text At this point there's no reason to believe that Tad Devine is currently under investigation by Muller or has done anything wrong, just that he's being called on to provide evidence. So let's stay on topic and not veer off into relitigating the 2016 Democratic primaries.

EtcetEra HangoutsThread Manga |OT| 2018: This Thread Contains Hidden Drunks. Quote To Reveal Them.
Red Text Guys, I'm serious. No linking to scan sites. The next person who does gets worse than a warning. I'm only letting you talk about the place by name because of how big the news is for the community. No other sites are to be mentioned by name and no sites or groups are to be linked to outside of hidden tags. Those are the rules and you're expected to follow them, even if I'm giving a bit of leeway in this specific instance.

EtcetEra HangoutsThread Anime |OT| Spring 2018 - We've dived in too deep!
Red Text Guys, just remember: no lewd/creepy talk and you're fine. You can talk about pretty much any series you like, just don't get caught defending the sexualization of minors. It's really not that hard. You all are generally pretty good about that in here, I haven't really noticed this as an issue. Hell, I haven't had to issue a single warning or ban an AnimeOT. It's more the Etc threads where this has become an issue for whatever reason. Talk about whatever show you want to, just keep that creepy shit out of it and don't go defending it when it comes up. If anything gets banned outright I'll be making an announcement in here to let you all know.Exactly.
