[Edit from a more rational self:] I wrote this in the middle of the night and reading it now in the morning it seems rediculous. It would also directly violate Clause 3.5 of the rules: Clause 3 - Inappropriate/Touchy Subjects and Discussions EcoCityCraft is a server community consisting of many age groups, religious groups, and political backgrounds. As such, there are many touchy subjects that we do not allow in our public channels in order to keep the peace and prevent arguments and flame wars from occurring. All chat must be kept appropriate and clean at all times. There is to be no discussion of anything deemed inappropriate for a workplace, including, but not limited to, sexuality, excessive violence, alcohol/drugs and inappropriate or dark humor. This rule extends into subjects about illegal substances or actions, including drugs. Politics, religion and suicide are common “touchy subjects”, however they are not the only ones. Should a staff member ask you to change a subject they feel is touchy and/or is causing the direction of chat to deviate towards an argument or flame war, you must drop the subject immediately. Discussing a banned user's ban reason and why they were banned is not allowed, however simply mentioning a banned player's username is allowed. Accusing other players of breaking any of the Server Rules is not allowed. Use the proper means to address these concerns such as speaking to a staff member or filing a complaint. So before you get to pointing these things out, be mindful that I'm fully aware.
If it has no effect on the final judgement, then there's no point to it. Also the discussion of this sort of thing can lead to controversial discussion.
Staff wouldn't take player votes into account. Being unbanned or banned isn't based on a popularity contest, it's the severity of the situation. If ECC moderated based on people's votes we'd have a lot of people that are banned that shouldn't be, and a lot of people unbanned that shouldn't be. -1 From me.
"The trial results would also have no effect on the final punishment, as the real judgement is up to the staff. " Did you read it all?
Yeah, why have the channel if they wont be taken into account. We have a rule that says you can't discuss ban reasons and this channel promotes that essentially. That's just my opinion anyway
I didn't think about that rule, and you certainly have a point. This probably isn't the best Idea I've had, and I'm always open to discussion.
-1 this will start so many fights and just lead to more bans. Rules state we aren't supposed to discuss ban reasons, so this would not work.
