It is no magic
*yearly reelection of administrators/sysops has meant no bullying types 
are sysops any more
*we are a small community with just a few hundred active. And we have 
decided to treat everyone (who are serious) as valuable individuals,  
and go a very long way to make all feeling welcome, stop behaving as 
overdog/underdog and also to try special solutions for troublesome users 
that enable them to not being blocked but having restrictions on certain 
type of activities. Both people who have temporary maniac periods and 
with autism symptoms can be useful contributers if handled right by the 
communities.

But these experiences can not be extended to everywhere. en:wp have 20 
times the number of contributers then sv:wp and of course this means 
need of different ways of handling problems. I do not pretend to have 
anything to teach en:wp, but as said I find nothing useful for sv:wp 
hearing of the challenges on en:wp
