I was there. Good ol' times. But like many things in the past, we evolved with the times, and some things just get left behind.If you think this is relaxed, you are so wrong. HWZ before it was sold to SPH for $10m was far more relax. Far more.
And even after it was sold to SPH, ,mods who take things into action are at least nice to put a message that they are closing the thread and banning you for exactly what reason.
So you don't keep guessing what happened and mods are equally open to scrutiny because there is case ownership.
So if you had a genuine problem with moderation, you know who is the mod to find and who to raise a dispute.
But now, they do it behind closed doors, no reasons given and you are shut down, that is what I am and many others are unhappy with.
Is it that difficult to give a proper explanation and have proper transparency ?
Oh wait it is 154, forget it, we can shut you down and no need to answer to anything hurr.
And honestly if EDMW still kept their modding policy open, they won't have so many threads of people asking what happened.
Crazy as those days and the moderation back then were, it's not feasible to maintain the same standards now, ESPECIALLY with the increasing number of youngsters using EDMW. Back then you got more havoc stuff, but members were in a way more self-restrained also.
These days, EVERYONE uses the internet, and CSI becomes more powerful and important. Also, had the moderation been the same as maybe 5 years ago (don't even need to go very far back), people who wish to visit EDMW for legitimate stuff won't ever get to see anything. This will eventually become a wasteland for the siaolangs speaking to each other, sharing of RCP photos and whatnot.
I'm not saying the current system of moderating is better. There's much to be improved. Consistency of the moderating team is one that needs to be worked on. But the old way won't work for the EDMW now.
