Administrators: Server Rule 1.2.

[Athenian]

What disturbs me more is this about the rules;

"No you cannot see the evidence put against you unless the sanction reporter agrees on".

Hmm i kinda don`t like this rule because there is too much players with "Connections" with Admins or at least they know someone who is "Good" with `em...

Better way to stop players using holes in server rules is to make more rules which will patch that holes...

This new rule kinda scare me to interact with anyone...So i guess it suck if ya ask me...And i know that none is asking me so there is no point of this thred, until someone make batter server than this one we can all take it or leave it and accept every rule our great gods put on our head...

Both of you are a little off. That one case you mention was where the reporter' screenshots were no longer available on a file storage facility - hence he would have to be asked to provide them again. In my experience of sanctions the evidence has been available pretty freely.

As for 1.2's past, present and future: well the thread began with it being described as a "we can do what we want to" rule. Which is partly true. I'd replace the "what we want to" with "whatever may be necessary to make things run more smoothly".

It is not used or even referred to all that frequently. The thread begins by suggesting that it is used "these days" - the most recent example of its threatened use was six weeks ago.

If you want to check your understanding of Rule 1.2, look at its use in the past before that example.

It allows Administrators to sanction people for things detrimental to the collective experience of the game that may not becessarily be covered by the many other rules that are designed with specific game mechanics in mind. Of course that raises the question : "what do we mean by collective experience of the game", but the semantics could go on until the cows come home.

I have yet to see anyone make the case that the rule is somehow flawed in any way. I think that's why discussion of it can appear to be a pretty pointless gesture - we're talking about it in a vacuum.
