Quoting Helmic for emphasis.
Communities with minimal to no moderation on the internet have been tried before, first in 1978 or so but the pattern - specific dynamics aside - it repeats a lot.
Basically... you start with a small core of people and it works well. Then a service gets popular and generally several times its size... trolls also emerge and with no way to filter the signal from the noise, over the next period (typically a few months to a few years) it degrades until it's just a wasteland.
Maybe the community representatives and the devs playing, maybe that's enough to keep it in check. But Helmic's right.
If you're interested in further reading, check out "A group is its own worst enemy" (just an article you can google, not a book).

GMod had no way to control players. Servers had to download mods to do that, and most of them where kinda lame.
And anyway, gmod was veeeery trolleable as it's designed as a physics sandbox where anyone could do anything. It was fun when you played with friends, but not so often when open to the internet.
I think we all agree that some kind of control is necessary. Are devs taking this into account or something? In fact... do devs enter this forum? xDD

They most certainly do.... :)

What Shink said. They visit this forum a lot. You'd be surprised, nake.

Certainly no /kick, but a /report would help. If it just sent a report to the CAs and if we are on at the same time they are it shows up and we can have a little talk, just to see if they are really trolls or just need teaching?
