^this, I know multiple people in my server don't bother with forums anymore as the censorship, post and thread deletions aswell as the threats of being banned from the moderators come fast, often and unfairly. Either you smile and agree that everything oasis does it great and they are an amazing company that respects and listens to its player base or you get silenced

To be honest, there are lots of people who have spoken their own opinion and gave constructive criticism. There is nothing wrong with positive or negative feedback, it is how you express it and how you write it. If a player swears, if a player falsely accuses. defames, or links to inappropriate youtube videos then yes their posts would be deleted and warned. However, that does not me*l negative feedback will be deleted. You guys say that moderators have become more aggressive, but we have and always are just doing our job to maintain the integrity of the forum and make sure everyone is following the forum rules set out: Found Here.

For many of the posts, it isn't even about censorship. It is about them breaking the rules and consistently doing it even after being warned. I hope you can understand! =]

I have no intention of attempting to start an argument with a mod here Jiburiru and would have prefered to send this via pm to avoid it being misconstrued and deleted.( personal here but I am autistic and not great at expressing myself- although I do make sure not to break rules, hence feeling the need to preface some posts)

but from personal experience I have no choice but to disagree with that last post. Personally know of atleast a dozen people ( not including myself) that have had a hard time discussing anything on the forums lately and none of them broke the rules they care too much about the game and have spent too much money on it to risk being banned. In my server alone there are 5 high paying players that have quit in the past fortnight because after a certain point they just got too disenfranchised with how things are

Pretty much this. + waiting on certain apologies.
I haven't played for soon 1 week, since I'm tired of this process repeating forever, so I won't bother much more.

Hi! If they had not broken any rules, then it would not have been deleted. If there was a case that something was deleted and the player finds it was a mistake (which could be highly possible), then they should talk to the moderator. I do understand that private messaging is not currently up yet and so the best way to contact the moderators would be through Discord at the moment.

Moderators are people too and I think all of us would like to have you guys talk to us directly if there is a problem, so that there is no misunderstanding in the future.

Fourm censorship led to demise of the fourm. Lets all take a moment and grief.

Ya theres alot of censorship, and since the forums been *ed alot of people dont feel safe coming here anymore, then on top of that since there wasnt that big of a one year aniversery gift for the free players they have just quit since oasis doesnt care about them. (they sensored me lol. the * is packed but an h instead of p)

two months ago the amount of posts being deleted was tiny compared to now. we would see a couple peoples posts disappear and maybe 1 person a week banned on average. now we see dozens of posts deleted a day, the forum population has died out alot since the move to the new forums, there are many reasons for it, but when you start deleting more posts while we have so few people posting then it looks like an even larger amount of people are being censored(removing posts is censorship even when they are being removed because they don't follow the rules, censorship is "the suppression or prohibition of any parts of books, films, news, etc. that are considered obscene, politically unacceptable, or a threat to security." so according to the definition of censorship every time you delete our posts, you are censoring us, whether justified or not)

censorship can be a good thing, like when people make fake accounts to flood the forum with links to things that shouldn't be on these forums(not going to go into specifics), since i don't want to have to sift though things that aren't related to naruto online while on the naruto online forums. it c*so be a bad thing when peoples opinions and concerns are suppressed because of their choice of words, when those opinions and concerns are felt by a large part of the community it makes it even worse.

If more than one person bave made claims about censorship - and not blindly either, its best to consider this. I know you're possibly a real nice person Jib, but can you drop the nice robot act for a moment or two.

You say moderators are people too, yet you all act the same. Theres no personality amongst you all, and t makes people less wanting to speak to you.

And also having to go to Discord of all programs to contact a moderator? Not everyone uses Discord and I find it hard to believe that there isn't an easier way to contact a moderator... You'd think there would be a more professional way to contact them.

there is the support ticket system thats in game, there used to be a way to message moderators on here, but they removed it

Have you used the support ticket before? I have and either the response isn't relative to what I was trying to say or you just get a generic answer. The support ticket is basically what happens when you call a big business and you have to go through all the automated questions first. What I'm talking about is when you press 0 during that call to talk to an actual person.

At the moment, the best way to contact moderators and support team is either through Facebook, Discord, or Customer Support. Hopefully, private messaging can come back soon, however, the three platforms provided above will be the best way until then.

I do understand some of your frustrations but the rules that govern the forum has not changed. If it feels like there has been more players warned for breaking rules then one of the possible reasons is that the act of breaking the rules have increased.

I hope you guys can understand, as we moderate the forums to keep it clean. We do have some younger player base which means we also have to make sure there is no inappropriate content.
