    Not the game itself, but forum moderation.

    It could make such a difference having an active moderator or two that speak up, enforce the rules, observe conversations and step in where necessary. The best forums I've been on are ones where moderators have a real presence.

    Warn people that a discussion is getting out of hand and that they should be careful.

    Lock duplicate threads when there's already an active one on the same topic.

    Recognise patterns of behaviour instead of moderating individual posts in isolation. We can all identify certain recurring trolls, so why is it so hard to shut them down on sight? Any observant human should be able to see what the poster is doing when they bump ten different controversial threads with nonsense answers, and yet it takes a week of this for the moderators to act.

    And a minor one, but valuable - take the time to actually remove the offending part of a post instead of deleting the whole thing, where it's a long post replying to multiple quotes.
