Let's talk about the bans and GM intervention
#9
I don't really have that much of a strong stance on the matter so I generally refrained from commenting but as someone who has witnessed a fair amount of harassment and a bunch of the stuff behind the scenes during my long time on this game; it's really hard for me to advocate for complete transparency on the matter. I've often seen people speak up about it to someone and slowly get ostracized from portions of the community, the same sort of thing you see in high school cliques and the like.

On the other, I completely understand how people could interpret it as a GM targeting a specific player and/or group, it's a murky grey area that comes with a policy like this and favors trust in the GMs judgment. I'm mostly in favor of the evidence being hidden, but I'm also generally not on bad terms with anyone that I know of so I may be biased in that regard.

That said, I do feel like if this policy were to be reversed in favor of presenting evidence/logs of such, the punishment incurred by this kind of behavior is probably going to get much much worse instead of the recent alleged examples only getting a week. Because as someone who has seen many bans happen in the past years ago, there were a lot of cases of legitimate harassment that only got a slap on the wrist over and over without anything truly noticeably done about it, so it festered and subsisted until they either quit the game in most cases or got perma-banned rarely.

Pre-GR/Early SL2 and SL1 were a doozy in regards to this sort of thing.
