Zaichik, on Sep 20 2013 - 02:36, said: Thank you!  But what about deleted posts?  That's the most serious problem (because it's like having the sands of reality shift under everybody's feet) and we saw a lot of it just in the past few days.  Have you also asked them to replace offensive posts with some sort of note so that people can see when deletions happen?

A 'stepped/tiered' punishment system where each and every person, is treated alike, by mods that also treat punishments/actions alike.  No more mod1 says ban 7 days for player1 for action1, but, elsewheres, mod2 only 'asks nicely' player2 to stop the same action (action1).   Treat us all alike, and have treatment be alike as well basically.  You did give us a clean slate, afterall.
Respect us. We are your clients, guests, customers.   We came to your company, game, service and we still are here.  Dont treat us like dirt. We will leave if that is the case. Many already have.  There are other similar out there.  
You have fallen into a trap of 'new maps and new tanks' thinking.  How bout specials that are actually meaningful.  You got rid of the 50% off special for the weekdays in favor of "on track".   Also, you make the 1-4 grind easier, usually now 50% off on specials, but the harder grinds, costlier ones, you penalize, down from 50%off to only 30%. (yes, i mean when on special).  Bring back the 'top scores' for losing team get good (almost win-like) rewards.  Might make some people less likely to throw in the towel.  The basic old specials were nice. 50% off, 3x or 5x, haven't seen a 'premium code' in forever.  I do like the tie-in that you do with specials, 'history meets special' basically.  
I could go on, but I fear that I am already rambling.

Zaichik, on Sep 20 2013 - 02:26, said: Has anything been done about the former policy of "silent" moderation that makes people question their own sanity?  I'm talking about posts disappearing without any marker that they were ever there, threads getting moved or closed or nuked without explanation, stuff like that.
Not only does it cause enormous confusion and self-questioning and wasted time ("Where's that thread I was participating in?  Did I really see the post I replied to that is now gone?  Am I actually insane or do I just LOOK insane for having answered an argument nobody new to the thread can see?") but it leads to questions that have (traditionally) been interpreted as "disputing moderation" -- a rule that's still (for good and obvious reasons) on the books.  I'm hoping that won't happen under the new regime, but it would be better to have policies that don't tend to make the situation arise.
