As I mentioned in the last news post, if users decide to misbehave and abuse each other, then the server test would be closed early. I have had reports of several people abusing other users, so I am just a hair short of shutting this thing down. The only thing stopping me right now is that I know many people only have time to play on the weekend, and so I want them to be able to experience GSW if they have not in the previous tests.
Nevertheless, if I hear even more reports of abuse, then the GSW project will be cancelled. I do not have the energy to deal with people abusing the system, and if people think it is fun to take advantage of AveneR's and my work, then we are not interested in continuing this project to this community's advantage. So this is my final warning.
EDIT/UPDATE: I realize that these problems could be minimized given a better moderation system. However, we won't have that ready until the beta, so if people can't behave on their own then I don't have much empathy for them. Therefore, if I continue to get reports of abuse, I'll end the test after Sunday night and the beta release will have to be delayed slightly so AveneR and I can create a ban/meta-moderation system.
