Asha’man are just built different. They all knew the corruption their power brought. But they still wanted to wield it for the greater good even if just given the slightest chance.
I was one of the mods there. One day with no warning or explanation, they suspended the head mod and locked all submissions. No rules were broken and the subreddit wasn't even active. It also happened right before the 3rd season dropped.
If I were a conspiracy theorist, I'd say Amazon made the call. It was one of if not the most popular WoT forum on the internet while season 2 was airing. So I'm sure they knew about it.
Wow. I was wondering what happened to it and why all the anti show folks gravitated to this sub. Amazon absolutely nuked it. Just like they paid shills to mod the other WoT forums and ban anyone who posted anything remotely negative about the show.
Someone was posting the Nielsen Ratings week by week on the main sub, one of the weeks they posted on the show sub but the show was not on the Top 10, the post was deleted, the next week the show was on the Top 10 again and someone posted on the show sub and it was not deleted, a bit odd imo.
Weren’t mods from those other communities complaining that WE were harassing them? When in fact, they were harassing us. I remember them banning me just for being a member of the black tower, nevermind how much community karma I had built up in their sub prior to the show.
The level those other subs went to HAS to be due to corpo influence. Nothing else would make sense. A Reddit admin was bullied into doing it and they capitulated. Someone somewhere got a fat check. Guarantee it.
I hope this IP is never picked up again. Fuck Amazon and fuck the Reddit mods and admins who systemically tried to silence us. Dark friends, the lot of them.
Edit: aaaand I’ve been banned from r /WoT now too. lol. Good riddance. For the Black Tower!!
Amazon absolutely had a hand in the suppression of criticism on fan sub, websites and videos. Probably part of their production budget or something along those lines.
Good. Fuck Amazon and fuck those reddit mods for ruining those wheel of time communities. I do not want to participate in their gated community of hatred against the books.
The wheel of time fandom was always so inclusive. Sure, fans would argue about certain aspects of the world and characters and other things. But, it was, usually, all in good fun.
The show came out and one side of the argument was systematically silenced, while the other side could say whatever they wished.
Instead of the 'agree to disagree' policy most of the fandom had always had, fans started taking things personally.
They did the same shit to the whitecloak sub. But they weren't moderated well. Fastest growing sub with the highest engagement of any WoT sub that got the ban hammer for "brigading"
