Make new laws, increase the fee to obtain/renew licenses, impose reasonable restrictions on how far a POB can degrade before the military can make boom are just a few examples of what could be done to properly address the problem of space trash. I agree that there is a problem of too many abandoned POBs floating around. This, however, is not the correct course of action.
Unfortunately, the toxics chased away a dev that had a fix for this problem. But I'll just shut up and color.
This.
There also seems to be a problem of gov blaming the state of affairs with pobs on admins and rules, by the sound of it (could be wrong, I'm not psychic).
Gov wouldnt be wrong about that, but the truth is govs, admins, and devs could all be doing a better job of managing pobs, individually and collectively.
However that would require open and honest conversations where a rational discussion of ideas takes place, between govs, admins, devs, players that have pobs, and those that are annoyed by them.
But that is something discoGC is genuinely incapable of doing.
Not because it's actually that hard, but because the "major parties" here are entrenched in their closed channel echo chambers, egos, tribes, and lets call a spade a spade... brain dead one-liner meme way of thinking and "arguing" that disco has made the obligatory end-all of every attempt of discussion.
