10% of active users? You want hundreds of people playing games and doing nothing else before you consider intervening? Absolutely no way. For the reasons I cited, late intervention is not an option -- particularly since those 10% will then become vocal opponents of any such intervention, citing precedent and lack of consensus. The problem needs to be stopped at its very root now. You have presented no single plausible argument why this is not so.
Thank you, Erik, for intervening in this. I support your position wholeheartedly. To wait until this gets out of hand before attempting to intervene is not only ridiculous--it endangers Wikipedia.
