"Humanity is my business! (Dickens)" That's what I got warned by a mod for lol.

Considering the author and past experiences with said author in the main arena I must laugh out loud at this post.

200 used to be one of the main attractions for me in AH3. I enjoyed reading the comments there and the back and forth for the most part was pretty harmless. I guess over time that has changed and most of the exchanges there have become toxic or from a player that the mods don't like?(when I say the mods don't like, I tested this theory) I made a shade account and said almost exactly the same stuff on that account that I said on my main account without ever getting a warning or a mute. At least for me the mutes and warnings were focused on who was saying it, not so much what they were saying.

It looks to me like many other things here, the game has divided into two camps.
One camp that loves the status quo and the mods can do no wrong. Any player who questions a mod is a bad guy and should go away. Also, any player that questions the subscription model or the maps or anything else about the game is bad and should go away. (I get the feeling these guys are getting their wish as people seem to be going away)

The other side is always trying to come up with solutions to problems with the game. I've seen suggestions of map size, map rotation, subscription model changes, bringing back old players with free trials, questions about mods etc. (to me these guys seem to have a genuine interested in preserving the game) however they are under constant attack by the first group and
 their suggestions appear to be completely ignored. (and because of this they seem to be going away too)

My guess is that there will be no changes to the game and soon there will only be a few toxic players and fast draw mods left playing and at that point I really doubt many if any of the new players will stick around.

Oh well. It was a fun time for many years. <S> to those that are still around.

It's hilarious you think ch200 was ever a place exclusively for PLUR... the various (un)communications functions within the game reflect this.

I never understood why some weebz just can't seem to mentally filter out what they don't want to pay attention to, or use the appropriate tools to do so. Or understand the function of the mods and push back against them all butthurt.

With the community numbering under 300, the mods are obsolete. The community can police itself under 300 and a word from well known and respected player can clear any situation on 200.
I guess that the mods are currently acting irrationally and heavy handedly to justify their existence and position in the game, so don't take their actions as a personal slight. They're probably not long away from losing whatever gift HiTech is currently giving them.

Nice observation, probably correct.
But like I implied above, real life much more important than virtual life. Self-serving and overzealous mods are probably doing me, personally, a big picture favor.
Thanks to the mod who recently muted me (both ironic and real). Now I have the opportunity to do things that actually matter. One less addiction to deal with lol.
