Lobby Is On Fire

Some of the players on our game site are, well, less than adult-like. That is putting it mildly though politely. They come in solely to see how much trouble they can cause before they get their chat removed. It's more of a game to them than the games that we offer them to play.
Things have really heated up the past few days, with the old crew coming back in force, almost like they wish to take the Mod jobs back and run the site the way it used to run. This would mean that, if you were part of their clique then anything goes. If you were not part of their clique then you were not welcome in the lobby at all. I assume this is part of the reason the site owner got rid of them all to begin with, now they think they may take it back?
So, the current Mod boss has been fuming lately. She blew her top several times in the lobby, as did her better half. They have pretty much let it be known that they are not planning on giving up without a nasty fight!
Yesterday she came into the lobby and let it be known that within the next few days new lobby chat rules will be in place and where the players can go to read them once they are posted. I am not sure but I have the feeling that the major change will be "no warning". Step out of line and the Mods will not say don't do that, they will just boot you. Other sites do this, they give the players no warnings at all, they just kick them. Sounds good to me.
I have no doubt that all of the troublemakers will run to their respective other chat areas to cry, moan and complain to each other on how it isn't fair. If they have no chat room to go to then I guess they will have to IM each other on Yahoo or MSN or whatever. Poor things.
The alternative will be worse and they really won't like that. The boss threatened to close down the lobby all together, and no chat would not be a good thing for any of us.
Time will tell. Stay tuned for more details as they happen.
