I disagree.
Warning others about the misbehavior of a person (assuming that it's proven, of course), does not lead to the end of a community, but protects its members against those out to harm others. On the contrary, not warning members of a community about a dangerous or troublesome person could lead to the end of that community when the troublemaker is mistakenly hired or given privileges by its leader, and when the problem causer then proceeds to cause harm or damage to members of the community. Furthermore, a lack of communication among the AW universe allows shady characters to easily cause more and more damage, with little (if any) punishment that AW or world owners can (or choose to) inflict against the perpetrator after the damage has occurred. Therefore, the only satisfactory way to resolve these issues is to prevent them from happening in the first place. If it were possible to post such a site (that warns of predators and troublemakers) without encoutering problems such as slander, libel, and other legal issues, I would wholely support Chuck's site. Look at my previous post. |
