' Wrote:Tenacity one thing that people need to learn about the rules, is that they are not in place to allow people to sanction other people. The rules are meant as guidelines towards good gameplay, as well as protection against people refusing to follow the example of such good, established gameplay that the rest of the server is already used to. The sanction system is merely a vessel for educating people who openly disrupt server gameplay, certainly not one for personal wrath and "roflpwn", nor one that is meant to oblige a person to report every single rule violation he finds. In principle it was meant to be used in only the most dire situation, where the person involved is obviously not going to change his ways without admin intervention. Should more people finally realise that, I imagine the amount of sanctions posted daily would reduce tenfold.

Now how this has meaning to your post: cool heads would be preferred in order to objectively decide when a sanction is made out of genuine concern over server gameplay, or simply out of spite. We already had a hothead once (BULLDOGNK), and look where that got us? Rampant admin power abuse and favouritism. It was a sufficient lesson I would say.
