I made my AVEN account about 2-1/2 years ago, & it was terrible then.  Some members got away with being toxic, even racist, supported by certain staff members.  I got warnings against me for being an uppity minority who dared to speak up about it.

Finally, some people from the Board of Directors gave up the hands-off policy they once had, & said that the site needed changes before everybody abandons it.  Certain staff members with guilty consciences resigned after that, & bans or other restrictions have been issued to AVEN members who seemed to be here just to cause trouble.

How much has AVEN changed?  Well, I am no longer someone who gets unearned warnings from moderators; I am a mod now.  And I'm not planning to let bigots, fascists or trolls get away with much under my watch.

It honestly bothers me a lot that there are certain moderators on there who see nothing wrong with the idea of fascists being there as long as they dont say anything about it. Like, sure, the admins spoke up against it, but the fact that people who are okay with the idea of fascists being there are allowed to be moderators is completely bonkers.
