While the "look, but don't touch" policy is great in theory, since I could care less what people think or say on their own sever, in practice it was less ideal. I've remember a few sites that saw a sudden influx of trolls as soon as they appeared on PoE or their old threads got a fresh wave of posts. It wasn't that huge of a number compared to what ED and SA can bring, so maybe the policy helped some. And whether it was actual PoE members or just the result of PoE advertising the site to lurkers was indistinguishable.
