I'm not sure how I feel about this. It's unreasonable to expect GM's to respond to these kinds of concerns immediately and always be there to see douchebags breaking the rules - no one's online 24/7 and sometimes the idiots just run off and pretend nothing happened. If you post reliable evidence of a person training or whatever on the forums, I'm sure the GM's get around to taking action eventually.

The problem is that the whole procedure for banning isn't very transparent, and I know there are good reasons for why it shouldn't be, but I know that if it was people would bitch about 90% less. Every time I see someone breaking the rules they say something to the effect of "everyone says I'm going to get banned, but the GM's aren't going to do shit about it". It's not just the players getting fucked over who have the perception that GM's are unresponsive to their concerns, it's the people breaking the rules who have this perception as well, which just further encourages them to break the rules.

If GM's really are responsive to this kind of behaviour and do take action when they should, they're just creating more work for them by not being transparent about it, because it just means that more people feel they're immune from getting banned.
