I gave moderator and admin rights to someone over my Ingress Google+ community I hard worked hard to build, because I didn't play anymore. He promptly removed my admin rights and pursued his agenda with regards to some community Drama. That was an education to me in the human appetite for meaningless petty power plays when all is needed is a bit of good will and cooperation.


hah! i _think_ i remember that? i was an avid ingress player in downtown LA for a time. was definitely part of a few ingress circles/communities and do remember some BS happening in one, basically caused me to stop bothering with google+ after that, i wasn't part of many communities other than ingress. i think g+'s death knell was not soon after?


Is this sort of different, since it is a game or game-adjacent space? I’ve heard that, for example, Eve Online players do stuff occasionally that would normally be pretty Not Cool, it were done for some non-game reason.
