banning problem users is also beneficial to the community
I like to study sociology and psychology. I feel that Badspot isn't handling this situation correctly/carefully.
Since Badspot is not trying to correct the problems and he's just isolating the problem users; think about how Germany was before they became national socialists. Pre-national socialist-Germany was an isolated country that everyone hated.
What is happening right now is that Badspot is isolating a group of people who will become more powerful as a society than just as individuals. Those people were banned as individuals; now isolated from this community, they have founded their own new community.
A good way to prevent this from happening is to give them hope. How? Well I don't know, I am not experienced enough in psychology to know how to manipulate a person's hope. I have a small idea, but it's against Badspot's ideals. Ya know... cause Badspot believes that nobody changes and we are all stuck at the maturity age we started at when we first got this game.
When I first got this game I was like 11 years old. I was so immature in this community at one point, but I've changed. I am about to start attending college this year.
So I believe that I am living proof that people can change.
But that doesn't mean that the people that have been outcast-ed have a chance for changing their ways. They don't have to change, because they have their own group and they are accepted there. Also I am not saying that they deserve our love, and that they have not done anything terrible. Because they have... and they don't deserve anything for it.
I am not saying something bad for sure is going to happen. But I am trying to make the point that a group of outcasts is worst than a single outcast.
