The old World of Anime was not moderated to the extent that it should have been. Its largely "anything goes" environment attracted the wrong crowd of people and created an overall negative and hostile environment that eventually led me to taking the site down for my overall mental health. I will not allow that to happen again. Read the Code of Conduct to see what is acceptable on the site. This site is intentionally a positive, safe, and friendly environment, and content that is not fulfilling of that mission is not welcome.

why cant i just post what i want in my blogs as long as i am not on the main woa page

Because your blogs are gross and disgusting and should never have been written out at all. Meeko has been more than fair with you and has given you multiple chances at this point to stop. You need to be respectful and stop posting offensive material, and in my humble opinion, seek professional help.

the old world of anime was fare

When you post a blog, it sends a notification to all of your friends with a link to the blog. It also shows up on the homepage as the latest blog post. The point of the site is to be an open community and as a result content is visible to many people. As for fairness, you are totally missing the point. I am trying to cultivate a certain type of community with a certain type of atmosphere. I know firsthand from experience what happens when you allow near complete freedom and it doesn't end well. The original World of Anime ended because of the excessive leniency. The last year or so was very draining on me, trying to please every side and get people to calm down and ignore the problem users while also allowing the people who were causing trouble to continue. I think there were users that wanted to see just how far they could push things. It was a difficult decision to shut down the old World of Anime, but it was a very peaceful and calming time for me afterwards. While I missed running the site and providing the opportunity for the community to find and engage with each other, I did not miss the drama one bit. After I made the decision to begin a new chapter of World of Anime, all during the development of the site I kept a bit of doubt as to whether I really wanted to do this, because of the feelings I had towards the end of the last site. This is why I am so adamant on keeping the atmosphere positive and friendly. That is the only way this site is going to work. This is my third version of the site. I know from experience what caused the first 2 to end, so I am doing everything I can to prevent those things from happening again. I am not dealing with the drama again. I will shut the site down again before allowing myself to be overcome with the drama of problem users. You can complain all you want about not being "fair", but its not going to change. This is a community site and it has a Code of Conduct that users are expected to follow. If you don't like the rules, I'm sure you can find another site that will let you post whatever content you want. It is not welcome here.

You always have to own what you want physically. I recommend DVDs and Blu-rays.

I should start doing that got any recommendations for a starter

...and starting next month, you will need to have a subscription to purchase from their store. I used to love Crunchyroll, but corporate greed is ruining them and every other corporation out there. Pay to play is the direction the world is going. Corporations don't want people to own anything anymore. The more they take the more power they have over people. The direction of the world seems to be going in a very Cyberpunk: Edgerunners direction. Collect what interests you. If you're not entirely sure tell an AI to help you find anime that have themes that interest you or look up anime genera's and sub-genera's. Meeko is right, if you want access to something permanently, buy physical and if you have the means back it up. Large capacity hard drives are cheap these days and software like DVDFab are a relatively inexpensive way to back up your collection.

Yeah We are in the shit show now and yes I get that I should do that

Hi, welcome to the site! If you don't mind me asking, what specifically do you find weird? And which site do you mean by the "old one"? This site is built much more in the spirit of the original World of Anime (2009-2015) When you say the "old one", are you referring to 2015-2020? If so, it is going to be much different than that because that was a bland, off the shelf social networking site. World of Anime is not a social networking site, it is an anime community site. I'm always trying to make things better, and I am always open to suggestions. So if you have any suggestions for how I can improve the site, please let me know. Thanks!

Yo, welcome to the site!

Working a lot better now. Thanks.
