I would like to echo Lynette..
It is very informative and rewarding to read this feedback/ evaluation report. Maybe a monitoring evaluative tool could be established for more elaborate results. I am so looking forward to season 2!

I’d like to point out that while the expectation of respecting free-speech might have been less popular with the majority, the minority who were promoting the more realistic approach of mediation and tolerance, rather than authoritarian censorship and banning, were the older, more experienced, and more active, and more popular players. So perhaps the two goals of embracing diversity and conflict (free speech) as well as helping people feel taken care of (not being forced to read too much negative stuff) can both be attained at the same time. Allowing people (or reminding them, if this is already an option) to “black-list” agents who they simply aren’t able to feel comfortable around, so that those agent’s posts and comments are hidden to them, would give people the power to take care of themselves, rather than having some authority figure decide for everyone what is valuable and not valuable. And, of course, actually having mediators available upon request will help give people the feeling of protection, if they need it, while also teaching them better, healthier ways to solve problems other than violence (banning, censorship, insults, etc.). Mediation is something schools and even government have started to do in many areas, with great success. And it’s extremely valuable for helping people from such a diverse range of cultures together.

As a strategist, this information is like a dream! THIS is why it’s important to determine milestones and goals before getting started. THIS is why it’s important to take a regular step back and objectively look at how your strategy and tactics are doing. THIS is why it’s important to LISTEN TO FEEDBACK and be sure there is room in the equation to make changes on the fly. I could go on and on. ***Brilliantly done.***
