What's sad about this entire thing is it just scares off the new people that are truely interested in the game. They take 1 look at the forums for most games and run off screaming. I don't blame them, I wouldn't want to play a game that has 50 of the top posts telling every other forum poster how much of an idiot they are.

Sphere's was a good site, as soon as someone tried to stir up something it was stopped at the beginning.

Also as sites get bigger and bigger it gets much harder to control the forums.

This problem is just about gaming sites through, this problem is rampant across the internet. any type of forums you visit usually have this problem whether it's gaming, sports, or under water basket weaving.

The only way to stop it is to make sure you have control of the forums. (which causes people to scream that you are being unfair in censoring them). There is a difference between censoring and controlling forums just the people that need to be controlled don't know the difference.
