Anonymity of Rule Violation Reports

[Akumabito]

Open accusations would lead to trial by forum.

For instance, this may hit close to home: Many people on the forum have suggested that certain members which they find annoying should be banned. The administrators haven't seen this as necessary (yet). If such trials by forum were allowed, certain individuals may be banned now.

That makes no sense. First off it wouldn't be trial by forum because the trial thread can be moderated so that no one can post but those involved. Right now we get trial by forum anyway when the admins feel like letting it happen, like in my sanction thread for instance.

Secondly in the end it's all made public anyway, except what isn't convenient to the admins to show, and no one is calling for bans except a few people who want me banned.

Open trial insure that sanctions are free of bias, that screenies are not faked or misrepresented, etc... all of which can and does happen now.
