Quoted from thedefog:Spooky has led the best example to date of encouraging civil discussion here while also not feeding the negativity. Those threads never have the level of hostility that exists elsewhere. I have a feeling that may be due to their ability to stave trolls.
I realize this is a little off topic, but since you raised the point, I wanted to address it here.
IMHO, the primary reason that few trolls exist on the Spooky Pinball threads is because of HOW Charlie is managing his business:
1] Building and shipping quality games,
2] Promptly updating software,
3] Treating people with respect,
4] Engaging with the community, and
5] Incorporating constructive feedback.
