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.
