Putting A Stop To Toxicity - It's just good business
summary
Argues toxicity costs money with concrete stats (players quit or avoid games, spending is ~54% lower in toxic spaces) and gives actionable fixes: hire a community team, run a moderator program with written expectations and applications, use actionable report buttons and anti‑cheat, deploy sentiment tools across Discord/Steam/Reddit, maintain a living top‑issues document, use the BLT (Believe Listen Thank) de‑escalation flow, limit channels, merge duplicate threads, and apply temp or permanent bans as needed.
