How to properly handle drama in the making
18 years ago
I have, on several occasions, witnessed a phenomenon of interpersonal issues due to juvenile behavior and mutual failure to understand one another, often evolving into a public display of one individual's dislike of the other.
AKA, drama
I present a guide on how to deal with drama from the sidelines:
Example, someone gets pissy over something they thought up, and purchased, say... oh, a domain for... because they have received no compensation despite the fact that the site is run as a free service to the community, and said individual's code has practically been overwritten completely.
This bodes poorly for the site but... one of 3 things will happen:
1. the person will come to their senses either before, or after doing something specifically stupid.
2. the person will realize that doing their random act of stupidity will come with about 10 trucks worth of load associated with it.
3. the person will be thwarted through a clever means which allows the restoration of content.
This process can take anywhere from a few minutes to a week at most, though there is a rare case that requires receipt of one's ISP traffic bill or 'server traffic exceeded' message to make one reconsider the action of theft or redirection.
However, the biggest issue are the people this person hurts through his or her actions. Those people need to be reminded that this will pass, and one should be there for them through the event to remind them that consequences for the actions taken will be severe given the altercation type.
That said, FA probably generates a wicked load of traffic, I garner to say a few thousand hits an hour, plus the fact that a squatter'd have to deal with a lot of retribution from the community for cutting off it's porn supply...
All will right itself given enough brute force society reaction.
Worst case scenario would be someone coming up with a new site in about 2 weeks or less.
