Anonymity of Rule Violation Reports

[Akumabito]

ok, that being the case, instead of making every sanction visible, make the 10% visible to the ones involved only. If someone is reallying advocating that they were wronged, (like you Aku) the admins can PM the involved parties the links to the SS's. It sounds like this would be the best option, it eleminated trial by forum, and the accused gets to see the evidence against them. The admins moderate the sanction forums to prevent off topic garbage, flaming, and trial by forum. Which happens and gets nothing accomplished. Maybe bring on a couple of more moderators that specialize in dealing with the 10% and making sure both parties see the evidence.

That would work. I still think all sanctions totally transparent would insure the most fair process to everyone, but there has to be some real method of appeal that isn't just lip service.

If the community wants fair sanctions that is.

It should also be timely or, as is done in courts sometimes, the sanction should be suspended pending an open appeal, otherwise the admins just drag their feet until it's over.
