We saddled up at Walrus theatre at 1 pm on the final day of PAX to check out a panel called "The Power of Online Gaming Communities" featuring our favorite Japanese import Cheapy D from Cheap Ass Gamer, the rather delectable Flynn DeMarco from Gay Gamer, Christa Phillips from GamerChiX, Nelson Rodriguez from Gamerscore blog and Nick Pueleo from Evil Avatar.
Topics addressed included such vital bits as moderation and banning to how to manage your online community and still have fun. I'd spill more of the details, but I don't want to ruin the video for you, so settle down with your Japanese lap pillow and enjoy the wisdom of people who are doing the job right.
[Niero note: We set up the camera on top of a water cooler since we were sans-tripod and didn't realize the thing was lobsided from abuse until after the panel. To prevent motion sickness place a thick frozen steak under the right side of your monitor.]

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
