Default Public Raid Petitions: P99 Freedom of Information Act

Over the years there have been numerous calls that all raid related petitions be made public. Recently, Sirken commented that petitions will be made public should Rogean and Nilbog make it so. This thread is a chance for the community to come together and request that this change be implemented.

Why make petitions public?

1) Public petitions prevent allegations of backdoor dealing.

2)
Open petitions will force petitioners to clearly and concisely explain the situation and what resolution they believe should occur.

3) The written, and archival, nature of open petitions will create a catalog of cases and rulings for players and the staff to draw upon to create more consistent and fair rulings for all players.

4) Open petitions will drastically reduce the work load of all parties involved. Because the petitions must be written on the forum, there will be no “ex parte” communications, vent conversations, and constant PMs.

Possible issues with open petitions

Public petitions are not without a few problems. First, there is no currently established procedure. The petitioner, the defendant, and the GMs should have a formal procedure established, or there will be no organization and the system will collapse. Secondly, this is a change from a system that some have grown comfortable with and it will require effort to switch over.

Summary


This is an important issue that I believe most guilds on the server can get behind. Open petitions are fair, consistent, and organized. They prevent allegations of bias and impropriety, and their written and organized nature is far more appropriate than countless PMs, Skype conversations, and other forms of communication that can give rise to the appearance of impropriety.

I hope this thread will be a discussion of the topic that will draw the attention and eventual agreement of the server staff.

I'm all for it

Though I'll admit, I'm mostly for it simply because I know it'll be amazingly entertaining

and THAT's when the offenders touched our Trakanon on his no-no dragon bits!

I would like to ask that we try to keep the thread focused on the actual policy discussion. This is not a TMO/IB/Class C issue only. Many people have been requesting this for years, and to treat it as opportunism and sour grapes does the long-running dialogue an extreme disservice.

A+ ... would be great for the server!!

You forgot to include as a positive:

- This would really put a dent in Metallikus' conspiracy theories.

It sure would help the rest of us understand what the hell you guys are so upset about all the time.

Or not. It might confuse us more.

I don't know.

None of this affects forage rates, though, so I guess whatever.

Objection. The real question we should be asking ourselves is, is this conducive to better RNF content? Yes it is. Overruled. However I feel the current staff raid doctrine is too hidebound and ossified to accommodate this kind of change.

Move to strike.

-Raid petitions must be explained in GIFs only

Full FFA respawns. 4 occurring on weekends to simulate Respawns. 2-4 occurring randomly throughout the week to simulate server up/downs.

Get rid of 16 hour windows. Entire raid mob spawns will remove poopsocking, reduce trains and conflicts because people will spread out. Will lead to more people enjoying raid scene.

Do it. Then there won't be the need for this.
