Read this before posting here

Deepfreeze.it is a website that primarily concerns itself with the unethical practices of game journalists. This means that people like Christina Hoff Sommers, Milo Yiannopoulos, Ralph, The Honey Badgers, Hotwheels, game developers (unless they work/used to work in game journalism) and DiGRA academics will not be added to DeepFreeze. Threads which demand these people to be added to the website will likely be deleted. Other threads about concerns that have already been addressed will be deleted to prevent new/important concerns from being drowned out.

Read more about it here: http://deepfreeze.it/advanced_guidelines.php#entry-equal

Also:

SARAH NYBERG IS BANNED FROM THIS BOARD

FAQ:

>why aren't Ralph and Milo on DeepFreeze?

Neither of the two are game journalists.

>then why are there so many people listed as 'non-journalists'?

This either means that the information is incomplete, or that the person is no longer working in game journalism.

The label 'former journalist' or 'formerly in journalism' might replace the title in the future.

Also, a small number of journalists that were involved in the Max Temkin, Brad Wardell and 'gamers are dead' articles have been added for the sake of completion.

>how are conflicts of interest filed?

Patricia Hernandez writing six times about her friend Anna Antrophy counts as one conflict of interest.

Counting all six articles as individual entries would unnecessarily inflate the total amount of improprieties.

>how are members of the GJP filed?

Members proven to be active in the list will be filed under 'collusion', members not proven to be active in the list will be filed under 'trivia'

>why does the Wizardchan scandal not have an article?

Wizardchan is briefly mentioned in the 'monster to silence' article: http://deepfreeze.it/article.php?a=monster

Putting an article about them on the website would put the spotlight on them again, as the wizards have stated that they would rather be left alone.

>what about media outlet's ethics policies?

Policy changes that occured during GamerGate are listed in the 'monster to silence' article: http://deepfreeze.it/article.php?a=monster

In the future, ethics policies might be added to each outlet's DeepFreeze page, including a short critique of said policy.

As you can see, people asking for Milo and Ralph to be added are the same people asking for CHS, The Honey Badgers and even Hotwheels to be added to the website.

What do the numbers under the profile pics on the site mean?

>Wrote two times on a cringey tweet by PR manager Justine Sacco, having a central role in fanning her social media lynching. Has partially apologized one year later

"Cringey" is not the right word there, it should be replaced with a different word or removed. Probably just a non-native speaker issue, because "cringey" is both inappropriate slang and doesn't really have the right meaning.

why the fuck does the site have no "edit" button or suggestion box? What if the information is outdated? In fact who the fuck is even maintaining the website and how can we be sure that h/s will keep the info up the date?

Anonymous ## Board Volunteer 06/11/15 (Thu) 19:01:28 f63cde No.536

That's the number of non-trivia entries a journalist has. If a journalist has written more than one article about someone they have a personal, professional and/or financial relationship with, all the articles are usually just filed as one entry.

Would 'troublesome' be a better choice of words?

>>529

Bonegolem owns the website and there are numerous people that help him with gathering information and checking for factual and linguistic errors.

He has mentioned that he would like to work on a page where you can "upload" entries, so he can review and approve them, but I don't think that's one of his priorities right now.

Yeah, that would be fine.

Is this board dead? Plenty of sugestions are ignored.

It's not dead, bonegolem is just very busy and regularly flooded with new entries and criticism.

If a site uses almost purely appeal to emotion fallacies in what is stated to be a review of a game, does it count under dishonesty?

What are the guidelines applicable to disclosure when it comes to press packages?

How can one reliably determine that content comes from a press package as opposed to being copied without source from somewhere else, given that we know for a fact that two sources are essentially stating the exact same points but only one of them provides a lone source which cannot be coming from a press package?

Dishonesty or sensationalism that is

Anonymous 06/19/15 (Fri) 17:42:31 3827c6 No.552

Crosslinking this idea. I think this should be implemented somehow. Perhaps greying out the symbol and having points which cancel out bad points where it's relevant.

>deepfreeze is not meant to be used to push personal drama.

>Locking this thread for now, come back when you can provide something coherent that can be seen as a breach of ethics.

I did. Read the thread. This is NOT personal drama.

Would it be possible to have a section on journos we like/can trust? I'm sure there are people doing good work in writing about games, but the only name I can think of is Totalbiscuit.

im trying to look up what exactly jim sterlings done to piss people off, but he doesnt seem to be on deepfreeze.it at all, not even on the escapists page.

is there a reason for this, and does anyone have any examples of what exactly jims done to piss everyone off?

Well, I did see some articles TheRalph put up about Jim, so look for Jim Sterling on Ralph's website, as it could explain better.
