I personally never complained about the lack of moderation. I run a fine set of forums myself and rarely have to mod them. Granted the overall member list is far smaller but really I agree with beast. Let&#039;s keep racism, sexism and gross obscenity out of our post and continue bashing one another. <br /><br />My complaint was toward over-moderation and its tendency to kill anything funny or competitive or constructive about community input. Fine, we disagree about things. Sure we all sound like asses here and there. Why can&#039;t that stuff stand? Why does disagreeing with someone (let&#039;s say a forum mod) mean you can&#039;t post on the forum. Is disagreement some egregious crime. As much as I think what Quiksilver posted was heavy-handed and in poor fashion, I do sort of agree his premise. It&#039;s gotten to the point of blatant censorship. On that tangent though, the most name calling anyone has done so far is Quik calling you guys nazis or something. Ladna didn&#039;t even come close to that and yet his forum account is suspended (deleted?). I really don&#039;t get it.<br /><br />The moderators we have (bones, robbb, cybershark, phenex, etc.) are actually doing a good job. Bones is a little swift sometimes but other than that I think you guys do a good job. Phenex has been super helpful in the posts he&#039;s responded to me in so I have no complaints there. My complaint is mostly in the moderation of Raider and Kilgore. When I need to talk to Kilgore he&#039;s around on IRC and generally speaking those interactions go well. I don&#039;t know why he bothers modding the forums anyway, unless he thinks the current mods aren&#039;t on top of it. By his own admission he&#039;s not suited to it.<br /><br />Anyway the topic of Yo Yo was is doom fading away. Check out some numbers and decide for yourself:<br />http://dumped-archives.ath.cx/zdaemon/tools/statistics/index.php<br /><br />I would say that retaining [b]contributory [/b]players is one of the most important things we can do to stave off any attrition that may be happening here. People like Stealth, Chain, and Ladna are people who are (or were) willing to do really great things for ZDaemon. However, the behavior that has been exhibited in the last 2-3 threads about this is really depressing and I want to make very clear that it puts off people who can and will help this community and this game.
