I blame it mostly on the moderation team's unwillingness to fix shitposters.

Like not banning Nat sooner.

Also, there was a thing with the general user base trying to be polite and accepting for a time. Bad idea.

I understand the principle behind not banning people because you don't like them. But I think we could have used a handful of breaking that principle. But it is dangerous.

In fact, I probably would have been banned in my first year for being a dweeb. Probably would have worked out better for everyone.

So yeah. Too many bad posters left unchecked.
