Yep. Changing the "atmosphere" was one of my biggest focuses as an admin (atleast in the last year)..and I don't think I had much success in that aspect. I agree it needs to change..but heavily enforcing infractions/bans won't do it.

We tried infractions, bans, etc. Regardless, it only increased the problem.

I guess my only suggestion is to not go crazy on the rules. Don't complicate things. Just try to make BF a more fun, better place (in more important ways), and perhaps the atmosphere will change with it. I guess the only thing I'd really clamp down on is hostility towards newbies (if we ever get any). We need all the new members we can get...so scaring them off is NOT good.

But yeah..rules, yay..they're great, but don't go crazy with them. They only do so much. And don't think that people will change simply because you hit the infract button. They wont.

I gotta say though.."rule breaking" doesn't seen like a huge problem to me these days. I guess there's no cause to really fight. Eric is gone..so people really have nothing to go against (except maybe bfh now..but..yeah..).
