Thank you for being open and bringing the issue to my attention.
whee It takes a huge shift in mindset and a lot of changes in behavior and expectation to begin these changes. It might take time, and I'm not sure of our mods have time to retroactively go back and restore threads. Though I can promise that moving forward we will be fair and understanding.
Happy new year!
First off you have no idea of how happy I am to hear that you're changing the ToS back to the way it was before Gary took over. Thank you for doing this!
Anyway I'm not worried about restoring every last post from the past, I think we need to focus on other things. But I am worried about all of the people that were banned due to Gary's changes of the ToS. He along with his staff members never never told anyone that they were changing the rules, and a lot of people were banned because of this. Some didn't even get an e-mail saying the reason why they were banned.
sad People talking about the old CEO and even other Gaian's were wrongly banned... It also knocked them out of being able to apply to be a moderator, a lot of them were SF and GCD regulars with big hopes of joining the mod team, people that genuinely cared for the site. It was really sad to see that now they might never ever be able to be a moderator because of the ToS fiasco.
sad Keep in mind that I'm not blaming you at all, this was all on Gary. Gary was the one who started changing things all willy-nilly, he didn't seem to care about how the community would react to things. In fact I don't remember him ever posting or communicating with us, he always made someone else do it for him.
