Im not sure if this is somthing we will ever be able to solve to a satisfactory degree with these top down/automated approaches.

I have been gaming my whole life and I miss the "old" days of having community run server as being the default.

You would go online one day pick a server and play on it in the mode you want (For context: I am talking about Counter Strike:Source). Over time you would get into talking with the regulars on the server and you form some bonds. And if someone does something the majority does not like the can be vote kicked/banned. We took care of cheaters/flamers/grievers that way. An admin on the server can still revoke the ban if the banned person explains why it was unjustified.

No it wasnt streamlined, and it was sometimes unfair, and establishing global leaderboards were difficult (see ESL company).

But you had community involvment and soooooo much content (game mods and skins; all for free btw.) and it felt good to be part of it.
