Unbadged blue checkmarks, accosting everyone openly in teams for 3-4 years, does not a good site make. Not banned myself, but I think the concept contributes.
What happens to a lot of people is they sort of sway with it like palm trees in the wind, doing nothing back for a while. Months or years later then may try to fight back, in kind, based on what they have seen others do, or go off on someone, or even just interreact with one of those characters, or someone already on the secret naughtily list, rightly or wrongly, and find themselves then on the wrong side of the ball. Either get heuristically or consciously on the bad list. It may only take once.
It just goes from there. Not all bad, just the level of concentration seems "off". You end up with possibly reasonable people cycling through and back out, at a higher rate than the people who discover they are allowed to get away with it.
Pretty much what you might think, or for some already think.
