MODERATORS
Yeah dude. The death threats and racism were a serious problem. I got assigned to a small volunteer battle.net mod team for a collection of StarCraft clan chatrooms back in the early 2000’s and… Jesus Christ, it was AWFUL. There was a time when every other message in the chats was a slur or a threat. That’s not an exaggeration. That used to be the norm.
