Dayz community is worst?

I was summoned? Sweet!

Well, nice to read your comment. I think the issue of this sub-reddit is the famously used word "Toxicity". That's something you cannot change. You can restrict things and hope a wall/barrier will keep people from being dicks to others... but in all truthfulness, restricting things never works.

I hate to draw parallels to it, but look at history. North Korea, Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, Soviet Russia. They all restricted things and censored things. There were certain clothes you could not wear, certain things you could not say, so on. Reddit is known for being a place to freely express your self, and we must live with that. But restricting the abilities of users? No one likes that. The Human Race will never conform to the rules. And restricting them of basic choices is a recipe for disaster.

Making suggestions restricted was one of the ways to combat this toxicity, I should know, I was a mod. I can tell you after they removed that and then changed the name to something else (whatever it is now), this sub go worse. You cannot make suggesting making illegal for a freaking early access. That's not right! I can't think of any sub where that's a rule but this one. From what I observed is that the current Mods are trying to make this subreddit a Forum. They're trying to have one large mega-thread for suggestions, that people, quite frankly, stopped caring about since no one even reads. They've tried hard to make it so questions were a "Suggestion Sunday" routine, so you could only ask questions on one day. I combated that very hard.

This sub has never been known for a good community. I think it was great when it was paired with the mod. Then the standalone was hyped, and it came out. People were disappointed... and from that point it just went down hill.

In Alaska there's a saying that you cannot stop hot lava flowing down a hill. You can only slow it down or divert it. And I guess that's the point I'm making. I left this sub because I think the current moderators are trying too much to restrict people's rights to post to make this sub a better place. Suggestions should be open like before, allowing people to upvote if they like it, or downvote if irrelevant. At this point, there's no bringing this sub back to the glory days. That's over. It seems the mods are trying to grasp that by making these absurd rules. People are naturally going to be bad. They're going to want to make suggestions. They're going to want to be free for what they post. At the end of the day, you can't stop the lava. It's going to go down the hill one way or another.
