To some extent this will happen, yes. Mostly it's going to be people who are already aggressive and know they might fall into a proverbial pit because of it. Meaning it's mostly going to be problem people. Several of them get along fine with other OCSMs, and might even potentially be customers for them. It's a juggling act. Is this going to be the right balance? Maybe, maybe not. All of the people who've been "******" (suspended really) are already back. So the punishments aren't severe, even on the end of the average poster (and at least one of them was way out of line). So who knows, give it time and we might find out this is the right spot, or maybe that things need to go further in one direction or the other.
What we know for sure is this; things weren't working before. The board was losing OCSMs, and barring a couple the remainders weren't happy with the situation, some threatening to leave, others cutting back their interaction, and pretty much none of them giving the board good word of mouth to potentially draw in other prospects.
Maybe what we have now isn't it, but what we had definitely wasn't. So... gotta try something new. It's that simple.
