GM's not personally informing you of the reduced suspension =/= Secret


either way I do feel GM's are way too lenient here... GM's let raiding guilds walk all over them and the rules.

How do you know this? How do you know it wasn't "secret" like this was? That should have been made public just like this should have been. Again, it is the authorities responsibility to inform the community when they make changes to publicly declared decisions. It's okay to change it, and it could very well be warranted, just be transparent about it.

We can't say if they were selective because we will never know the full story. We will only know one guild side, and what the other guild thinks their side is. We will never know everything, so to say it's selective is just nonsense.

So that can be fixed by it not being secret? So, then we put every dispute on the forums and let everyone here have their million and one opinions and then let everyone here be the jury and then perhaps a poll for the judging? That's equally nonsense. Nothing is ever cut and dry/ black and white. Everyone can see the same evidence and come to different conclusions. It would be chaos to do all of that on the open forums.

the suspension should of stayed, these guys are douches

Don't really understand this myself either. I can't think of too many games that will discuss disciplinary actions with players. Perhaps a precedent had already been set here, but if so I'm not sure it's a very good one.

Thats an interesting concept.


Public humiliation might help people see how much work the GM's actually do on bans.



Maybe make a thread where it lists a persons in game name(s), offense, and penalty/punishment.


I know other games have done that before and you can see just who the worst offenders are easily.

The reduction of IB's suspension wasn't secret.

Like in the newspapers :)

Decisions are not up for public debate, but once they are made, a listing is made for all to see.

How do you know it wasn't increased? Fuckstick!

Yeah, but I bet it would have happened in either case. /shrug

From Amelinda's post here it would seem there is some sort of non disclosure rule about stuff the GMs follow.
