Sanction and evidence

[Sparxy]

Not sure where to post this so put it here.

I've been playing on the server since last August and so far have managed to avoid doing anything too dumb and getting a sanction. However I have seen a number of fellow members being sanctioned after a player sanction report. In many cases they've all sworn blind that they didn't do anything wrong and it has created a lot of bad feelings.

How do Admins check the facts behind the sanction when we are speaking of something as subtle as a re-engagement after cruising? Surely we cannot trust the word of a defeated player? This would leave the sanction report process open to all sorts of abuse by players who simply took a dislike to another player.

In the interests of fairness it would seem appropriate to provide evidence to the accused when he is sanctioned so that they can see exactly what they did wrong and also see that the charge is genuine.

Your thoughts?
