I'm sure the entire staff would absolutely love to and it's certainly been considered. Unfortunately, I think Discovery's standards of sportsmanship at the moment just aren't there yet, so we can't let go of the brakes just yet. It's definitely an appealing thought, though, and I'm open to suggestions to better encourage fair play. Nobody would have even considered enforcing the rules this way if we didn't believe that things genuinely got out of hand.
The ganking rule really didn't do anything to fix the issue, as far as I'm concerned it just made things worse. By deleting such a rule you show faith (yeah I know there's not much left but there still is some glimmer of faith ) in the community and some form of positivity, the good old "sort it among yourselves" works better in majority of the gameplay/pvp scenarios. And if certain people/groups/factions/whatever go overboard with fuckery, a private warning always did the trick.
tbh ppl can report it all they want, what matters is whether the staff processes it or not
