It’s possible we could, like, disallow lurking, even for mafia

God knows we need something to boost town winrates anyway

Not really


<Mulch lurks
<presumably, Mulch gets warned
<Mulch starts lurking in next game. MafiaMulch.
<Mathdino: I did a comprehensive search of consisting of the entirety of your games on MS, and found out that you LURKED LAST GAME. You must have been warned. Why are you lurking again? Don't you care?

Eh, there’s a difference between "lurking" and "not playing the game."

I would probably define a lurker as someone who posts below a certain frequency threshold. It's possible to post infrequently, but have every post have content.

I think the latter may be more of the issue but not playing is sadly a play style on this site.

Alternative option: Make activity requirements harsher and blacklist lurkers

I define lurking as a type of not playing the game, it's why active lurking exists

Nah, lurking is playing Gamma. As town for example, lurking allows you to take a step back and reevaluate.

You just have to do it in small doses because if you lurk too much you’ll start to get detached from the game. And apathy can be a real killer.

I can safely say I have never seen them playing in the same game together and because anecdotal evidence is clearly all we need to call something fact, that must make it true!

People should make use of blacklists more. Also, having a blacklist thread where people can see who is blacklisting who and for what reasons might make people play better if they see a lot of people are not letting them into games.

When I was actively modding games I had a blacklist of serial flakers, serial lurker non-contributors and players who for other reasons I did not want to Mod. I never shared it because that’s really IMHO not necessary as long as Mods are policing their own games.

Pretty much Geriatric game restricted at this point ... unless there are players I REALLY want to play with.

So maybe the geriatric ruleset needs not just a ceiling but a floor.

And some walls. With windows. And some nice furniture.

isn't this why the initial geriatric idea (the kids these days thing) was a problem?

I definitely intend to keep a serial flaker blacklist from now on
