On other private servers of all sorts, GM's aren't expected to police zones or be available 24/7. When players exploit or harass other players, Fraps recordings are all that's needed to put an issue forward. It's what those servers rely on for stating a case and offering solid proof. Hence, the work load is largely placed on the players instead of the GM's.

Why is it different here?
It's the same, but it still requires staff to review the "tapes" and then make a judgement call based on that alone.

The way it is now, players can just solve their own issues and go about their business leaving the volunteer staff to tend to the bulk of the server's population.

Less stress for Staff = staff last longer. The server's history is littered with staff becoming too involved with the endgame and ultimately ending up with staff quitting/fired.

p99 is probably more peaceful now than it has ever been, both staff wise and player wise.
