the sociopath problem

[Psymon²]

what can valve do to remove sociopaths from the community?

it shouldn't just be up to users to report it.

[Boblin the Goblin]

Considering how rare sociopaths are and the fraction of users who use the community, nothing.

They can just deem someone a sociopath and remove them. Especially based on hearsay. That's what reports are for.

[Aachen]

Removing users due to armchair psychological diagnosis (and not, in fact, because of their actions) is a bad approach.

Seeking some issue in a person’s nature to judge them for doesn’t seem a healthy approach to community interaction.

What should Valve do about a made up problem? Nothing. Valve shouldn't entertain people who engage in the sort of thing you're doing now.

[AmsterdamHeavy]

Id rather the focus be on white knight busybodies that blow simple routine issues out of proportion and create more problems than the "toxic" people...but thats just my point of view.

You can't tell if person have sociopath because it requires medical diagnosis. As my experience with former coworker that have sociopath.

This is not what sociopath mean. It could occurred in young children.

While being a sociopath may preclude you from things like empathy.. I don't think it is illegal or anything to have a certain thought process even if it is a broken one to most people.

In the United States, The Human and Health Department does not define Antisocial Personality Disorder as an illegal trait, to be crystal clear this is what is largely filed under the clause of Legally Sane, basically in a court of law there are people who do crimes but have been found confirmed to be outside of the Legally Sane branch, this branch is defined online but it sums up that some law breakers require medical treatment then prison because their crimes are the result of a mental problem that they have to resolve, once returned to what is above the Legally Sane branch then the court will order a second investigation to see if the person was of sound mind and body and if they were not then from there things go in a different direction.

APD is not however in the Legally Sane situation at all, as a matter of fact to act antisocial is not a crime in the US, nor is it anywhere on the planet for all that it matters, to be antisocial means to basically dislike interacting with others and other defined terms that I rather not just copy paste the document of to here but to sum it up its far from illegal, or even a punishable crime.

If it was then I can say right now that two family members fighting would be deemed a court case and siblings fighting would also be justified in the court if being antisocial was illegal..

Sociopathy can't a diagnosis until adulthood(18). It is not diagnosed in young children.

Doctors actually aren't allowed to diagnose it until 18.

And yet teenagers can mass murder people.

People don't have to be nice to you or conform to your reality or viewpoint.

I've seen little to no problem on this platform. Then again, I can simply scroll past what I don't like without having a heart attack.

I will never understand why others cannot do the same.

Not true. Doctors is allowed to diagnose on young children with parents consent.

Cool.

Sociopathy is very specific and not defined by one event. It actually isn't called sociopathy, it's actually Antisocial Personality Disorder. Also, 18 is still a teenager.
