Sanctions, Fines, and that sort of thing

[Coin]

Not sure what the poll is for....

I think that making the inclusion in a sanction report a screenie of your trying to reason/explain to the other side your viewpoint/issue mandatory is an excellent idea.

We're supposed to be all gamers, out to have fun. We're also supposed to acknowledge that sanctions are a last resort, not a goal.

Their inclusion would take a load of time off the admins because 1) it forces the players to interact, POSSIBLY solving their problem without running to big brother, and 2) the admins won't need to access the chat logs to see whats been going on, as it will be in front of them.

This would have benefits for players - we could lose the /set chattime FLhook thingy, reducing server load, and also the server lags when an admin is accessing the server commands.

I have never been sanctioned, and hopefully i never will. I've taken a few screenies of a guy who tried to pirate my gunboat in a Mammoth (yeah, 'What?'), who then fled, and then proceeded to call me chicken, presumably so he could get a screenie of my similarly flavoured reply... but in the morning i thought 'whats the point? Sooner or later hes gonna get sanctioned himself'


Have also seen a big increase in sanctions, both for new players and long established ones. I'm hoping that this is a temporary situation, caused by an influx of new players to the server, and when they get settled, and less screen-shot-happy, things will calm down once again.
