What happened between SW and SP?

I feel that the problem with Basil was that everything was going pretty well until Mr. Basil removed the feedback requirements for posting. After that, it was a endless wave of trolls, useless topics, redundant questions, etc. With the amount of spam like OMG, what class should i make?!!", the foot has to come down sooner or later.

All the things that make Basil so much fun.
