I think it has to do with reputation and the cost of entry.
I use to play on a minecraft server that had a griefer trap right at spawn. The server automatically monitored any attempts to grief and auto banned griefers while sending a server wide announcement.
When the server was wide open and anyone could join, the ban notice would spill out so fast we had to get an admin to silence it.
When we swapped to a whitelist that required a person to submit an application and wait to be approved, messages were rare. Only one or two a week.
When we swapped to invite only, we never had the message go off. Not once from what I remember.
As we swapped between the three states (in an attempt to maintain a certain server population level), the pattern was kept up.
The lower the cost to get in, the more people who violated trust. The higher the price, the less people who violated trust. When personal reputation was on the line, no one violated trust.

Perhaps Facebook triggers the 'road rage' mentality more than gaming does. [0] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-50054725 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-50054725

- r00fus 7y agoFacebook's bottom line depends on stats like MAU where it's in their interest to accept fake users as real ones. Plus, they were never invite-only (or at least have not had that model for a long time).
- dwyerm 7y agoI've been pondering the same economics on car-, bike- and scooter- shares. I'd love to know if Car2Go's ridiculous little SMART cars were treated better or worse than their Benz replacements. I wonder if Lime's electric bikes get shoved off the pier less than Ofo's cheapest ones.
