Good post, this topic needs staff attention surely.

The whole point of a pvp server is for players to settle issues in game through player vs player combat not the petition quest afterwards. The pvp here is reminiscent of tattling children crying to mommy, and I have to wonder how the staff can look at what any of the tattling children have to say with any merit.

The current stated rules were put into place to allow new players to jump into red and establish themselves without having been on the box since it's release. They're also in place to keep the server from having a high turn over of grieved to death people, leaving only one established guild. Both quite necessary to server health, they are an arguably fair list of rules that are just poorly enforced and require some situational clarification.
The situation is that the rules put in place require a heavy and/or consistent staff on red. The vitriol and pedantry slung at the
volunteer gms I can imagine would make any of the csr hang out on blue.
The solution to maintain the current rule set with minimal csr resources probably involves ruling with fear via heavy handed account banning. At this point being in the position of reviewing ban repeal pleas and accounts associated with them for every infraction would cycle back in legit players while netting all the rmt/boxers/dupers/grievers thus keeping the petition questing to a minimum. The backlog would shrink while cutting out heavy offenders.
Also something to note in this case: There is a good reason for the law in the states that punishes those that attempt to falsely accuse others.
Hypothetical for you Lime:
Imagine the saddest nerd you can, with a neckbeard so thick it's corrected his slouching. now imagine you just started on red and this guy is already farming dragons with his fellow nerds and decides on a whim to grief you off the box because he doesn't want new players on the server. whats to stop him and his majority of the server guild that doesn't have a pnp?
