Sanction Reviews

[Jinx]

in general, yes - the sanctions should be more structured and a lot more transparent. there should also be room for revisions in case a decision was made on just barely enough evidence.

but why should there be more transparency?

mostly because a sanction must be an educational experience, not only for the player that got sanctioned but also for others. right now, no one really "learns" from the disco sanctions other than "better run fraps and litter your harddrive with terabytes of garbage non stop" cause you may need to prove that you have been innocent.

i cannot see how it is a bad thing that there should be more transparency in sanctions. the net result is that we all learn from it. the non sanctioned ones learn from the actual violations and where the nuances of interpreting the rules are. the admins learn from drawing a line. ( it helps to formulate a decision, it makes it clearer for the decision making person, too )

the community learns from CLEAR precidents - instead of vague sanction notices that can be interpreted this way or that - and may or may not lead to reports and expectations based on those.

it is more work for the admins to write it down, but it sure helps to compare violations to past violations of a similar caliber - and in time - everyone learns.
