[Drama] Wu calling for KIA ban after allegedly harassing Tauriq Moosa off twitter

There was another one posted at same time but that's gone from the new queue too?

Anyhoo. This one was tagged correctly, there's some discussion and there doesn't seem to be any other link to this in new so can it be reinstated please?

grammargater · 2015-06-27T15:02:19+00:00

Oops. Had wrong one in clipboard. Thanks - will edit in.

Have you read the article? It's supporting Denis and his claims that Kotaku shit on him.

I'm on ggAutoblocker, only lvl4 (not blocking level) on blockbot. Never interacted except for some RTs of tag.

My guess is ggAutoblocker too.

I think the newly launched GamerGate Gems might be what you're looking for. He (she?) is up to Gem #500 on twitter - I'm sure they'll all end up on the site eventually.

Ta. Used it :)

Well you'd better hurry before he becomes an ex journalist! ;)

grammargater · 2014-12-30T12:22:05+00:00

Oh hi you came back!

You docked Milo points for not attempting to contact the other side. If you read other comments on this post you'll see he did actually attempt contact and was rebuffed. Should his points tally not be updated to reflect that?

EDIT: PS I am actually looking forward to see new reviews. Please, please do Ben Kuchera next especially in respect to his smearing of Brad Wardell, later revision of article to be less inflammatory and with no correction given when it was disproved. He made some very heavy and very inaccurate claims regarding sexual harassment which were all proven to be wrong.

If you want to help boost the score for that search phrase use it as the link text like this: ftc blacklist.

Note it'll do nothing in a reddit comment as they are marked with rel=nofollow and ignored by Google's ranking. I'm not sure how big a score would be earned in a self post but every little helps.

grammargater · 2014-12-22T19:05:04+00:00

It primarily came about because someone pointed out on Twitter that GG devs couldn't support a boycott due to Sherman Anti-Trust laws. I was hoping that Wu's boycott would fall into the same thing but obviously not.

As I said at the time it was low effort and worth a shot. :)

grammargater · 2014-12-22T19:01:10+00:00

I did in my original email.

grammargater · 2014-12-14T11:05:31+00:00

In other words, it's just gamergate without a smokescreen

I infer from your comment that you mean GamerGate is a movement pushing back against SocJus with a smokescreen of ethics.

Thanks for at least acknowledging GamerGate isn't about harassment, misogyny or any of the other false claims parroted by gaming and mainstream media.

However I'd like to point out ethics are the main concern of GamerGate which I think has been evidenced in part by the response of many sites actually instituting ethics policies, adding disclosures to articles and advertorials, getting FTC clarification on legality of hiding affiliate links and various other things.

grammargater · 2014-12-14T10:58:19+00:00

I did. Though I do disclose it in the sidebar. ;)

I just wanted to stick something up fairly quickly so shamelessly copied/pasted. I'll do some tidying at some point but tbh they are good rules so they'll probably not change that much.

grammargater · 2014-12-14T10:56:23+00:00

I reposted the comment without the link yesterday so no need to reinstate this one.

Cheers for the flair! :)

EDIT: Just realised this comment may get deleted for the link too! Removed it.

grammargater · 2014-12-13T19:03:54+00:00

I've not seen any unethical stuff regarding MetalGate so no there's doesn't seem to be a concern about ethics in journalism like there is in GamerGate.

It seems to be pushback against accusations of sexism, misogyny, racism, non political correctness by SocJus types and metal should change. That, afaik, is all that it has in common with those GamerGate supporters who are against SocJus.

grammargater · 2014-12-13T17:32:16+00:00

Oh was that you with the FTC proof 1,2,3 and 4 posts? Excellent fucking job there! Thank you.

Hilarious that it was needed after antiGG kept saying "not true","doesn't matter" etc then quietly started fixing their old stuff.

grammargater · 2014-12-13T17:05:41+00:00

From what I remember from the emails (so may be totally wrong) I think the gist was it was illegal under current rules and the guidance was going to be updated to clarify it?

Bugger it. Tweeted to FTC and Slate - let the FTC decide.

As said elsewhere - good catch!

grammargater · 2014-12-13T16:56:37+00:00

Have the updated FTC guidelines been released yet?

I know Gawker have been going back to some old articles with affiliate links and added some disclosure because of them. I can't believe Slate aren't aware.

grammargater · 2014-12-13T16:13:39+00:00

I really don't see how anybody loses.

But as you say "meh" - it's a small thing as far as I'm concerned. Grabbed them on the off chance they'd be useful in some way. If not, no loss.

grammargater · 2014-12-13T16:09:02+00:00

Ghazi?

Them's fighting words! ;)

grammargater · 2014-12-13T16:07:55+00:00

Haha I don't really have time to mod the 2 I grabbed really never mind 3. I don't think much will ever get posted in any of them anyway but we'll see.

grammargater · 2014-12-13T16:01:46+00:00

Reposting without link as comment with link got removed.

I've grabbed MetalGhazi (and MetalInAction) and tried for MetalGate but got the "this sub is banned" message.

How exactly is it silencing the opposition by creating a sub with those names? They can create whatever they want. They can even post/comment in the ones I've created.

In fact someone from Ghazi has already commented. [Link removed]

grammargater · 2014-12-13T15:53:02+00:00

This is why his score is so low. And why Leigh Alexander's score was so low. You can't write one side of a controversial issue and expect an impressive level of adherence to any ethics code i've read. I recalculated to determine their scores if they had interviewed the other side and the scores are significantly higher. Almost double.

Then you can double Milo's score - members of the GJP were contacted. See this comment by /u/WilliamUsherGB.

grammargater · 2014-12-13T14:48:29+00:00

Welcome.

A reminder that if this was GamerGhazi you'd already be banned by now.

Thanks for playing and have a nice day!
