Infinitrons abuse of mod powers is extremely annoying and needs to stop

This is something that should be discussed more: In all my time here I've seen Infinitron post a screenshot of an RPG he was playing once. I can't recall him ever partaking in discussing actual gameplay or story or mechanics in a game. He seems happy to use threads as his soap box for whatever random Tweet or """news""" he wants to post but he's seemingly above participating in the community itself.
Hence why I keep saying he doesn't play games.
This applies to the rest of the staff too.

Feel free to prove me wrong.

Reading this topic was eye opening for me, turns out that Codex allowing saying 'nigger' and 'fagot' is just a facade of a free speech, in reality its a heavily censored forum under pretense of protecting children newcomers. Sad.

I also understand Infinitron 's intention to try to index the forum for its content, for its role-playing games, rather than being a dumping ground for people who come here without even knowing that we are talking about RPGs, just to make their senseless speeches.

I understand this, but it’s a completely useless attempt because outside of this forum, EVERYONE knows that you can come here and only deal with shouting absurd, senseless slogans and pushing Goebbels-style propaganda. EVERYONE knows this. I've known RPGCodex for years, even though I’ve only been a member for a year, and everywhere it has always been said, repeated, and rehashed that this forum is just "a den of alt-right who want to exterminate Jews and blacks. Then, from time to time, someone also knows a lot about RPGs."
And this is due to the forum's extremely permissive politics. So, while I appreciate that the KCD2 thread was split because it was becoming unreadable, the fact remains that even the other half "legible" is still honey for any primatist, wannabe-Goebbels, and so on.

Then, just to be clear, it’s not that I’m naïve and don’t realize that the Forum IS this: a den of alt-right, even among the staff, some more, some less, some maybe. But splitting the forum isn’t going to attract new users interested in talking about RPGs.
I did it, I joined the forum because I knew I had the patience to filter massively and only take the 1% of those messages that are truly useful and from "RPG enthusiasts" compared to the 99% from Nazis who talk politics. But a thousand other users don’t do it and wouldn’t do it.

People come here knowing they can do "propaganda," not talk about games. And it’s your rules that allow this, not the logistics of thread arrangement.
He doesn't even play games nigger.
If you want something less "edgy" then why don't you fuck off back to Reddit?

"How do you do fellow rpg enjoyers??
As a fellow rpg enjoyer, let me tell you how racist and problematic Codex is..."
Same energy.
Woke fags never go to Resetera or Reddit's Gamingcirclejerk and demand to stop political discussions there. First, they agree with the Resetera and Reddit leftists, second, they'll be immediately banned there. They simply want to censor one of the last places with freedom speech.

He used to post a lot of "intellectual gamer" takes from, often very cringe, blogs/channels he was consuming and did not exactly shy away from trying to sell them as his own original thoughts. But that was veeery long time ago.

Him writing from a perspective of someone who cares about playing and discussing computer games now is absolutely hilarious tho and p much the reason he'll get a smirk or an eye roll even from most people who agree with the gist of what he's arguing.

Basically seems to just be way too stereotypically... uh, you know who... for his own good.

The most recent such post from a thread I read: https://rpgcodex.net/forums/threads...ro-rpg-inspired-by-ultima.126611/post-9282126

There are several others in the SKALD thread alone if you care to search.

Anyway, this containment zone thing isn't new, right? What difference does it make if Gaming Drama is in its own subforum, compared to the way it was before.

He's right, forked-tongued neocon queers like rogay do indeed fit in over there.

Poor Grogz over here has the condition where all he has is a hammer so all his enemies look like nails. I loathed Bush during 2000-2008 and have a massive amount of contempt for all the Democrats who found a "strange new respect" for him after Trump was elected, yet he calls me a neocon for reasons???

*Not Roguey as anyone can see from the past few years of "what games did you finish this year" threads can show.

I very much dislike how discussion is moderated in the gaming topics, if there's any controversy, the mods form a new thread to contain it.

Might as well start doing the typical pre launch NeoGAF style game discussion thread and then the post launch official release thread.

I've been on /v/ enough to know that if you give an inch to dramawhores and political retards (from both sides) they'll take a mile. And even they have to have containment boards lest the entire website becomes flooded with /b/ tier sewer garbage, and even then it just spills out into the other boards because of how the anonymous system itself works (and jannies not giving a fuck of course).
I don't see the issue separating discussion into two threads if it becomes big enough. You're not getting banned, or getting your posts deleted, or 1984'd. It's just a separate thread so the main one keeps itself (relatively) gaming related.

Hardly an abuse of mod power, but he cut off the thread way too early. It is definitely annoying to see good gaming threads polluted by politics, but in the case of Kingdom Come 2, there is absolutely nothing to discuss except the controversies. The thread should have been split only after the game’s launch to allow for separate discussions about gameplay, if there is still gameplay worth discussing, which I am starting to doubt, and the controversies, for which Wokehorse studios legitimately deserves some retaliation.

If I wanted to go back to it I'd be pushing for infinitron to be beheaded in the middle of a crowded plaza and the complete freedom for every thread to become mindless hornyposting and inflamatory baiting with no real moderation whatsoever

Oh really? Because the good indies I like require absolutely literally 0 moderation in the threads, though I never see you. The games with drama are the ones which deserve it. Funny how things just naturally gatekeep this supposed utopia of pure RPG discussion, yet can only be seen in threads of the biggest games that have outside drama.

Also, I'll reiterate, go back to 4chan I don't want to physically cringe having to read your retarded lingo

Hello fellow gaymers!
Let us delve deep into the world of Black Kangs 2: Cultural Enrichment (Revenge of the Jew) and analyze this wonderful game and its gameplay mechanics!

The dude has 265 hours in Pillars of Eternity. If that's not dedication to the cause, I don't know what is.

If you really want a screenshot, there's one here.

What have YOU played recently? :bunkertime:

Would be nice to see more community engagement from the staff, ya know.
I'm not going to fault him for playing PoE, even though I should because it's an awful game. He did put his money where his mouth is with that one.

Same here? I don't see your point, in fact you've posted in threads where I've been quite active before.
The only reason I mention 4chan is because that's exactly what happens there. Or do you honestly believe inflammatory drama that's only tangentially tied to a game and quickly overtakes whatever thread it inhabits, obscuring any mention of gameplay, story, graphics, etc isn't exactly the kinda shit that kills any form of real discussion, attracting only people that are in it for the drama itself?

Also, I'll reiterate, go back to 4chan I don't want to physically cringe having to read your retarded lingo

That's rich coming from someone that posts the way you do, almost every single post you make would fit right in that dumpster fire.

I think we can all agree that fence sitters should get the beating, right? Unless they are brown - they can be excused then, thats not their fight, they arent biologically and culturally erased,replaced,reimagined so they can't comprehend what its like.

It's not tangential when it's part of the game.

Also, weak excuse for the current situation. There's nothing else to talk about when it comes to KCD2 because the game isn't out.

ALSO my criticism of infinkikes megathread fetish (or thread splitting ONLY when it's something that goes against his agenda) is what causes this problem you seem so worried about. Intellkshual gamers like you who only talk about the most *prestigious* topics like banal analysis of game mechanics could easily do so in a separate thread but that sort of stuff has been completely erased. Muh forum globalism.

ALSO chantards are below untouchables compared to the 200IQ Carpathian/Dinaric Alps God forged from stone that I am, I will forgive you for your blasphemy but don't make the mistake again
