I completely agree with you Splinter. Just for an example, take a look at the RuneQuake scene.
Now wait! I know what some of you are saying "I don't even play RuneQuake", well I'll tell you what happened! It all started like this, at the TLTQ forums (the RQ community HUB), the trollers and drama llamas became rampid. The admins tried to brainstorm ideas on how to stop it without causing even more of a disturbance and seem like power hungry admins banning people, deleting topics, etc. It got bad enough the administrators who were also the server owners got fed up and simply packed their bags and left. That threw the RQ community into shambles and eventually a large majority of skilled self-respecting Quakers left. Needless to say, the RQ players eventually degraded the only RuneQuake server into an abusive, trolling grounds with the player count at an all-time low now.
If it wasn't for Baker, Steve, and Yellow who started this site to salvage the disaster who knows what state we would be in. I'm not saying with conviction this would happen to this community but instead I say it with caution to others that they might realize what could happen.
Wise words.
BTW, have a Merry Christmas everyone!
