    i remember all the way back OW1 when “griefing” was a thing that people enjoyed to do for some reason, meaning you’re basically boned if you’re playing with randos. looks like the “ban everyone all the time” solution didn’t quite pan out

      I think it’s a psychological trap that people fall into when in charge of anything. Being overly punitive feels like doing something, when often a lighter touch would be healthier in the long run.

      This happens with games, managers at work, parents with their kids, the justice system, or even moderation on forums like here or reddit.
