::Everyone's Human, therefore, everyone has a breaking point. I've hit mine multiple times & yet, I'm still here while also not playing regularly. It's not a matter of being "good guy Greg" as you put it...it's just simply a matter of stepping outside our own heads long enough to recognize overall the "We" over the "Me"::
As things are now, common aproach is saying "screw YOU" rather than thinking about the person on the other side of the monitor. No fun lies in geting such response for your good actions. When it became obvious that I'm no longer geting much fun ingame, I decided to stop playing rather than become "screw you" sheep, no more no less.


It's not my or your altitude that pushes negativity futher, or anyones' else in this thread, for this matter (with possible exception of spazzy). Just as system can self-administrate itself, it can also automaticly push itself into oposite direction, with unconscious efforts of every cell.
::Screw the "system" Since a system is made of individuals, flawed systems stem from flawed individual attitudes that make up that system as a whole::

Correct, but effect system has on you is deeper than you think. Compare how your friends behaved ingame X years ago and now. Frankly, many things people consider normal now deserve admin intervention in healty environment. However, as such things are considered normal, people do not even stop to evaluate their actions. Amount of people who want to be ***** to others for no reason is surprisingly small. But everyone does it now.

From what I see now, system pushes itself into direction oposite from what we want. Small amount of people behaving nice won't change anything for exactly same reasons haxors/trolls weren't welcome here X years ago.
::It would make sense to lead by example. Let's face it, Humans are sheep that bleat in an echo chamber. If only a few people pick a couple of days in a week & used 'em to try harder to be cool to another player than they normally would, that example will rub off & the number of people that emulate that behavior will grow quite a bit::
History is not on your side here. Such aproach has been sugested and agreed upon numerous times this year, but to no avail. And can you name a single time when any comunity became better simply through example of minority? Whenever such thing happened, it was either because of major environment change, or because of single person who forced such change. Sadly, there is not such person here right now.

You are wrong in saying I didn't give this situation enough thought/creativity. Still, I didn't find anything better than starting from ground zero.
::Am I? How long have you really thought about it? The slash & burn technique is pretty lazy imo ::
Ground zero is not necessarily slash and burn. .86 and bases were in some sense ground zero. Many people started playing back then, many systems had their rules established for the first time. Effect was not gigantic, but it still can be seen. Argubly, if .86 hadn't happened we wouldn't be as deep as we're now. When I say ground zero, i refer primarily to 5. version.


P.S. Admins and devs are also part of the system, just as everyone else.
::Honestly, Admins would be better off if they stopped allowing such an open platform for asshattery & got a little iron back in their fists::
Agreed
EDIT: Before anyone says "dying out" is natural process, look at AD&D 1'st edition. 3 revisions has been released since then, but many people still play 1st/2nd. And for good reasons, that is.
