Why the site is dying

over 5 years

The mods ban lots of new players (and also old users who have deleted their old accounts) claiming that they are permanently banned users despite them not having any IP matches to banned users. The mods say they have the right to terminate any account based on the site's Terms of Service.

Nowadays players are not even given 24h to respond to a mod PM. When the new player's account gets locked they have no idea how to contact a mod/admin (because they're not aware of VPNs) and they end up just leaving the site.

The mods have banned so many new players without evidence just because they wrongly think the user is a banned user.

This is why the site is dying.

mods are just worried because they dont want another abc incident that ruins the site. Mods have a reason to be ban new people, but not out of reason because of suspicion.

Looks like the white walkers are taking over this site. Soon we will have only Charley and her friends on this site who will trophy farm. They won't need to cheat then.

Not surprised.

I haven't been playing EM for a while and part of the reason for that was from mod behavior, Specifically the negative mass manipulating the votes and heart status of one of my setups several times.

The inability to contest the mods actions let alone know who was responsible for the manipulations didn't just anger me, It signaled to me that the people who most represent EM just want people to play setups they already know.

That's not the reason Lucid kept this site alive Marvellous...

There are also good things, stop looking at the negative so much.

But I'm sure you understand that.

Edit: Palladino was spoiling the end game...
Deserves to be banned for that alone.

This is exactly how the mods react when someone makes a thread showing how they're doing harm to the site

Yesterday EM user Palladino was site-banned despite his IP not matching any banned user. Presumably banned for being ABC or some other permanent banned user. Just one example of many

a new player isn't banned unless their account is linked to a banned user via ip or account link...

Lucid neglected the website a few years back. There was a time when the public chat didn't even exist, the community has pretty much always been toxic. People have been abusing noavis and policy-lynching forever too. None of those stopped the site from dying a few years ago.

The site is dying because mods ban lots of new players for being permanently banned users like rednose and abc. You're one of the rare lucky ones that didn't get banned and even you got accused still. Just goes to show that basically the other half of new players that don't get banned, get accused for being a permanent banned user.

The site is dying because lucid neglected the website for a long time, removed the public chat and the community was toxic.

Also because we abuse noavis rather than teaching them how to play, ask them to get an avatar or direct them to links on how to play.

Most of the people that used to frequent don't do it as much anymore. Maybe Em just losing momentum.

I was accused of being abc a bunch of times and I never got banned

Also a mass unban would most likely revive this dead site
