Forging a Resolution

[Wildkins]

Thanks @Teerin for the post. I pretty much agree wholeheartedly - there are mistakes all around the board around this, but that will tend to happen - this was a very decisive and very controversial decision, and would have been even without the specific concerns raised around this. There are definite methods of resolution here, and I think probation is certainly one that's very effective. Regardless of the method, any amount of evidence available should, as soon as possible, be given to the affected persons and their faction leaders or representatives. The community is not aided in any way by maneuvering around the rules of traditional sanctions, and thus the traditional protections and rights afforded to these community members should be granted where possible and necessary.

Once everything has calmed down and we have a revised decision (or another admin statement saying otherwise), as @Garrett Jax has primary led the charge on, I'd like to see proper rulings on the existence or lack thereof of Rule 1.0, the "clean slate" clause, and eventually some form of collection of prior greentexts that are still held as official. Unfortunately, a simple "some green text may no longer apply" clause is far too vague for any serious form of administration, and an amount of transparency (despite the buzzwordiness of this term in recent months) is necessary for the community to ensure we're all up to speed on the state of the community and how the new rules affect all of us going forward.
