Agreed. I used to moderate the largest English Starcraft forum. We had a pretty low tolerance for poor behavior, and people would cause shitstorms on other forums about our allegedly heavy handed moderation style.

I'm no longer active on staff duties but the site is going strong so I'm guessing we did something right.

As far as online games go, Starcraft seems to on the less toxic side in my experience.

I agree with this, the Starcraft community experiences losses as a learning opportunity.

That's a name I havent heard in a long time. Some of my best gaming experiences were with people I met there. Agreed 100%

Those guys and the DAD clan from TFC (now disbanded) had some of the greatest mods. They kept the places in check but they had a sense of humor about it.

TeamLiquid has some sensible rules[1] that are being carried out by a numerable sensible staff members[2]. Its longevity speak to the effectiveness of this formula.
