Banning on online games(seems to improve maturity)

[kaliesto]

I have learned something from every online game I have played in the past. It seems when someone immature gets banned, they usually comeback reformed and more mature. Thats actually happened to me, I was being such a jackass back in my days when I was younger but eventually learned my lesson and was being more respectful.

I guess what I'm saying is that it seems to improve your maturity rate in some cases. I guess banning is actually good for people in order to be more mature, basically we are doing them a favor.

What do you all think?

I think the next time you have a thought, you should let it go.

Being banned from an online game does nothing to increase maturity. However, people will learn to grow up eventually, look back and see, "Ah. Okay, I see why they banned me." And they try to come back.

If banning alone did that, Hydro would be respectable by now for sure. It probably helps the process along a wee tad though.
