Looking for a new home :-)

Welcome! :pint:

You made the right choice - moderation here is definately a lot more relaxed and considered than on AW.net.
At least the friendliness here does not come through tough moderation, but is --real-- instead.

I hope to learn a bit about the whole story

Part of the story is here:

@Red_Melons:

Well said!

What I also like is that you can openly discuss here if you have problems with certain actions taken by moderators. On AW.net such threads are just deleted. No question, no discussion. What moderators say is not to be questioned. Certain actions taken by some moderators there appear a lot more confrontial and close-minded than from the members who got suspended/banned.

The people who any sane board owner would possibly consider for moderator duty are a tiny minority of the staff there. Off the top of my head, I can only think of two moderators there who are up to the task

Wegster! If there is a balanced moderated on AWN who expresses his views in a well-considered way, than it's definately him! He is the reason why I have not completely given up browsing through their forums.
I guess Mikey_C is NOT the second one you mean!? ;-) :lol:

Let's NOT make this a personal attack against AW staff members,  that is not the reason I came here.

Matter of fact is, that the main reason why you came here is the way how SOME moderators on AWN behave. It is not caused by the site in general or by their community. Thats why I found it ok to mention the moderators I like on AWN and who, in my opinion, is mainly responsible for the downfall at AWN.

They first have to scan your personal data and check with CIA that you're not a MorphOS fanboy.

This process takes some time.
