If that is actually true i think a civil injunction is indeed reasonable.... *prepares to be burned alive* lol

Just sharing my discord, it is a fast growing community originally spun off from other Resident Evil discords who were upset with how strict the rules were and how the mods would ban people for essentially "wrongthink"

On this board there are very few rules and moderators cannot kick or ban, only timeout, if I a kick or ban will happen it is discussed with the administration first..

In addition I am also taking in disgruntled GameFAQs users. I was an active member there since damn near the founding of the boards and was displaced by Fandom and the current moderator staff enforcing their rules on off site platforms like discord. So disgruntled GameFAQs users are welcome too!

Hope you guys enjoy.

This server is for people 18+

After being widely dissatisfied with all the draconian rule enforcement, emotional moderators and a bunch of kids in all the channels, me and some others created a channel that is adults only. In order to prevent emotional mod whine bans moderators on this channel, the moderators do not have the ability to kick or ban people, timeouts only and if they believe bans are warranted they and you can argue your case.

There is an invite link, if any wants an invite message me if that stops working

Above is invite, but basically I formed it unrelated to GameFAQs but because I was sick of having to watch my mouth if trashing RE3R or using certain words (i got moderated for posting a file verbatim because it had the "rape" in it, when we discussing Chief Irons and how he was sanitized in the remake. Myself and some others got banned because moderate knee jerked reaction to my question that they could answer. They said people of all ages playing RE so thus the channel shouldn't be age restricted. I then asked why moderate people for posting "bad" words if they come from a verbatim text in game "Mail to Chris" - Resident Evil 2 1998 is what I had posted.

I said that doesn't make sense, I also got moderated for critizing what they did to Jills character itself in RE3R and was expecially critical of her basically being face raped by a fucking insect, which while crude is exactly what happened for anyone who knows what I'm talking. Granted theres much more than just wrong with the Remake but that particular scene is just disgusting.

Anyhoo, it led to me creating a channel for adults and the only thing that is against the rules is being disruptive, we have no banned words, no bans of discussions of any kind. The only line I draw is if you are going to be using some kind of racial slur or some weird things like that it better be contained in a bonafide discussion where it is actually relevant, we have a channel for the discussion of politics, race relations, philisophy etc... real life stuff that requires critical thinking and what. They aren't very hard rules to follow at this point and we don't have any issues. We only have 60 members now though they are active.

Also no moderators have the ability to kick or ban people, worst they can do is issue a timeout and they need to appeal to me or my on co-owner of the channel.

Saw another topic mentioning discord so I figured I throw this out there as an alternative for some that don't want to deal with people getting banned because they don't have the same groupthink. You can be as republican or democrat as you want lol

There's an invite link, if it doesn't work feel free to message me. If end up with gamefaqs refugees as mentioned i can make a separate channel of you'd like

Though fair warning I dont ban people for politics so if you can't handle being in a community that doesn't have a groupthink rule it is not for you

But yet no matter how hard I look I cannot find, have these just disappeared off face of the earth?

I saved after waiting like twenty minutes in case i died which happened andbhad to reload, upon reload do I need to wait another million years

My story. I am a junkie in recovery having not taken an opioid in 4 months. However from ages 13-36 I abused opiates and opioids starting with percodan (oxycodone/ibuprofen) and vicodin (hydrocodone/acetaminophen) Darvocet (propoxephene), rapidly upped to mscontin, and then with oxycontin, opana, diluadid etc... became widely available I super indulged all the way until they started cutting the legal supply off and then transitioned to heroin that transitioned to fentanyl, half my friends died during this transition but somehow I kept ticking.

I finally sought help for my addictions in 2023 and worked with doctors to get where I am today. I feel so much remorse for all the people that legitimately need it and can't because of the actions of myself (well and some of their contemporaries that sold their scripts) and also fear for the day when I will legitimately need them and will not be able to get them.

My second dad essentially (best friend since high schools father whom I've lived with and he has treated me like a second son) got into a bad motorcycle accident in 2000 and was prescribed 90 10mg perocets a month, and a few years back they abruptly cut his script by 1/3rd leaving him miserable for 3-5 days every month. Since then I help him obtain relief through other methods that I won't discuss here, but I feel awful that it got to that point and wish things were different.

No point to this post just wanted to put that out there and apologize to all that I've harmed.

Edit: I seem to see a recurring myth being stated by people that have not lived the life. 99% of our pills were legally prescribed to people with chronic pain whom were overprescribed like my friends mom and sold to us, despite our often young ages. Doctor shopping has been extremely rare for 20+ years due to how intertwined peoples medical information is because of people using software from companies like Epic (MyChart).

Edit 2: I've noticed a trend where people blame addicts for trying to go "Doctor Shopping" as a primary cause when in my lifetime that simply is not true. The integrated health computer systems and lists narcotic prescriptions are put on make that basically impossible and has for a long time.

Nearly every junkie I knew in the old days when real oxy was still on the streets got theirs from chronic pain patients that were wildly over prescribed who then went on to sell the portion of their prescriptions they did not need. Not that I don't feel responsible for my part, but the people with the largest culpability in my eyes were those handing out 30 percocets for getting a tooth removed, or Dr Wetzler that gave my friends mom 90 80s and 90 20s of oxycontin a month, she only took 30 80s a month and then sold the other 60 and all her 20s. She'd split the 80s in two and take half twice a day.

Opioids can only kill so much pain, there comes a point where there is diminishing returns until it effectively doesn't reduce pain further. Purdue is probably the single most culpable party of all as they knew it was even more addictive than morphine but covered it up and propped oxycontin up as a safer less abuse prone alternative to mscontin when they knew from day 1 it was not true.

I also believe a large reason Doctors are hesitant to dispense opioids if there isn't physical evidence of pain is they are fearful of being investigated. My own doctor that helped me get off opiates told me to my face that was why she wouldn't help me get off benzodiazipines as she did not want to be seen prescribing me narcotics and then benzodiazipines as well and possibly be investigated for co-prescribing opioids and benzodiazipines as they are a combination responsible for many overdose deaths, even she knew with my tolerances that possibility was non existent.
