Obviously it's because moot wanted to protect his friends. That also explains why moot's acted so unreasonably retarded lately. He knows he can't defend it but he also cares more about his IRL friends then the people who will actually stay loyal to him.

I guess I don't have as much pull as the janitor that actually created this board, but as far as I know as a fellow janitor, it was because it wasn't about videogames. Yes, literally.
>The gaming press is corrupt!
Nobody gives a shit, not the anons that stayed on 4chan until now nor the moderation. Since the moderation didn't give a shit, when the whole whorassment or whatever you call it angle made it grounds for deletion. I don't think you understand that it wasn't a focused effort to keep Gamergate under the rug, it was a half-assed effort to make people talk about videogames.
I think that the best way to convey what this whole shitshow was, was that one image of /f/ and /jp/ board tans on a computer looking at a window while people scream "/v/ HAS CHANGED! SJWS! VIDEOGAMES ARE DEAD!" outside, only saying "things are getting really retarded out there".
From an outsider perspective, it's just about a whore that fucked a journalist from Kotaku. And then the whole 'gamers are dead' articles. Again, do you actually care about Gamasutra and Kotaku in the first place?
I guess I do betray my position of "I don't give a shit" after seeking out this board but the board creator is doing God's work, I can't count the times I've cringed at twitter retards and imgur links pretending to be from 4chan and not be able to really say anything to prove them wrong.

>>467>Let's make MORE things illegalWhen you see that happening it's never the mods, it's always moot. He's the reactive one. Mods will parrot his decisions publicly as though consensus was reached but behind the scenes it never works like that.
The leaked chat about the new agreement shows exactly how much forethought goes into his decision making (no consideration for where sensitive data should be stored until people start making suggestions).

>>451>>257Sorry but I don't believe this
I have to remind you that GG was mod approved when it started, mods gave their consent to let the conversation go. If it really became something offtopic then why was it banned EVERYWHERE? Why don't leave a general thread in vg? Or in pol? Or in fucking b? Why suddenly ban it in ALL BOARDS?
Sorry but that explanation makes no sense
Then we have the message moot used. He clearly talked about raids and GamerGate being a thread about doxxing and shit that NEVER HAPPENED. If it really was because offtopic then why wouldn't he say so? I wouldn't probably be here if moot said something like that, jesus christ I would understand perfectly if something got really tiresome for the board so they decide to ban it, but the explanation moot gave had NOTHING to do with the thread being not-video games or offtopic.
There was clearly something else, moot didn't leave any open debate because he knew what he was doing was wrong, he knew what he was doing was crazy so he tried to damage control by banning everything. Would have been so hard to at least give a simple explanation when it happened? No, it suddenly became banned everywhere for some reason, and moot didn't say anything until the board got spammed by "for free" messages so he had to say something to stop it, no matter if it was bullshit or not.

>San Francisco is one of the few large cities in the United States with TTHM levels still in excess of a new EPA tap water standard that went into effect in January 2002. San Francisco also has potentially dangerous high spikes in the levels of these chemicals in its tap water
>Cryptosporidium and Giardia, waterborne microbes that can present human health concerns, particularly for individuals with weakened immune systems, were found at low levels in San Francisco’s treated tap water. The presence of these pathogens even at fairly low levels is of some concern. That is particularly the case because the city does not filter its Hetch Hetchy water supply, and this unfiltered water occasionally had spikes in turbidity levels (cloudiness in the water that can indicate the presence of pathogens) of up to 0.76 nephelometric turbidity units
>Lead levels were found in excess of the EPA health goal. In 2001, lead levels at 4 of 53 tested residences (8 percent) were over the EPA action level. The EPA allows up to 10 percent of tap water to exceed the action level, so the city was not in violation. But San Francisco’s lead problem is a concern for children and pregnant women who drink from taps containing excessive lead. No.565
