I play in custom servers for plenty of games that have vote kick and ban systems. The games themselves may be old, but the players range from fresh to old guard. Valve FPS games were / are particularly good for this.

Then you find another server that has fostered a better community. Or even start your own.

Even if the ratio of absolute mean-spirited jerks to decent players was 10:1, that's more than enough well intentioned players to foster good server communities. But I suspect the actual number is closer to a reversed amount.

Obviously MMOs would be a different beast, but the type of cheating you're trying to defeat - the threat model - is often different than wallhacking autoaimers.

Sorry, I am talking about MMOs exclusively. Some of those also have you compete not only against the enemy team but also against your own team for ranks
