On the point of post histories being removed - bad

On the new mod team - good

On the old mod team - lololol

Could someone on this forum elaborate what was wrong with the old moderators?

The forums have started to slowly become worse after the change, and some stuff has just been plain dumb (Max-Seece conflict).

People can now get away with many stuff that was deservedly punished when the old team was working, and that is coming from someone that was moderated by most of the old mods



One word - Maxwell

Oh please. At least Maxwell did his job, whether you liked it or not (although it's no surprise you don't) and you wouldn't see the same amount of trolling aand BS when he took care of a thread as you see today. Yeah he was more focused on Nintendo threads, but with good reason. 

Quite frankly, threads were more civilized when he was around.

I don't think anyone would disagree if you argued in favour of when Naznatips, Sqrl, MontanaHatchet, BenKenobi, rocketpig and Bodhisattva were in charge of moderation, because they were fantastic and none of us are a patch on them (and it's worth noting that forum activity was lower then and there were more mods, though also more reports). Unfortunately, all but one of them left and the fifth was so traumatised that he refuses to moderate.

The period between then and now, however, when TruthHurts, Maxwell and (a lovely person but not a fantastic moderator) trashleg were in charge of handing out moderation, the site was chaotic and the moderators were a lot more widely despised than they are now.
