User blog comment:Hidden Scorpius XI/Kneejerk reaction to "Raven Branwen"/@comment-10380701-20150825003158/@comment-4010415-20150827021609

I barely remember what the big deal was about the Beta testers, but I think it was something like, a lot of Beta testers were being regarded as cheaters (thus the term Beater being used a lot) and some of the Beta testers might have gone for an "Every man for himself" attitude or some shit. I dunno.

Basically, people were afraid of these "Beaters" betraying them.
