Well, make it a requirement that there is at least 1 game paid of +10 dollars
to use F2P games... then they have to buy a game to play. (and yes, exclude
humble bundle ones). No, not gifted or traded, must be a purchase on the
account.
and inb4,
Happy Christmas everybody.

>I think is Valve should make TF2 $3.99 or
something very cheap. Free is ridiculous. Serious players would
obviously still buy the game and the free-2-play issue would be greatly reduced
if not eliminated if this was done. At least charge something, even if it's
just
a couple bucks. Then you can block them via their credit card number, Paypal
account ID, etc. Hell, most of these cheap-bastard trolls would probably stop
just because they're too cheap to spend a couple bucks, and blocking
mommy's credit card would end their rein of terror.

>Another approach can be to give those female players "mini"admin rights,
so they can ban someone for a short time. Had to deal with about the same kind
of stuff, where 1 player made it bad by cajoling up the others, this lasted
some
time, and went out of hand. We banned the guy, but the rest kept at it. We
decided to give her admin, and then she could ban any herself, which
ended the situation fast, because then as soon as it happened, she banned
them.

internal stats as well - so many new accounts created by the same people has
got to throw a wrench into their internal metrics.
