Lucy also does not go to 2002 'and earlier'. It goes to March 2002, and that's it. Beside that, you can spam links to spell data all you want. Nothing in the spell data determines the reliability of the charm. That's all handled by the server's checks vs charisma and magic resist.
As far as any posts from that time frame referencing charm being unreliable being hyperbole, ubiqitous posts including stats, durations, and frustration with charm identical to the condensed raging on this thread don't exactly contradict the change. So far the extent of the argument for changing it back has been unsupported anecdotes of "I remember this". The only tangible documentation that has been provided in this thread, at all, is documentation of its notorious unreliability.
It's not going back the way it was, you'll just have to accept that. If you think it should be more reliable than it is now, start posting something to back that up with a relevant timestamp.
