The rule lawyering would start working in petition case law digging up and quoting various GM rulings. It's not so much about consistent rulings it's about every situation being unique.
No additional work would be created. In fact, it would drastically reduce the amount of time spent on petitions. The GM's have spent manhours in the double digits Skyping JUST on the IB/TMO suspensions. Public petitions would make such things obsolete. Guilds would submit all of their evidence and argument a single time, and prepare for a ruling.

Additionally, the players already dig through old rulings and petitions every single time. The "rule lawyering" here could not be any more severe; it has already reached its maximum limit.

Open petitions do nothing but reduce workload, streamline the process, and create a more stable environment that avoids even the appearance of improprietous situations.
