Yeah, there's really no medium where people can provide counter evidence for people's claims.
They need to start handing out the exact punishment used on PnP violators to the people who are fishing for illegitimate bans instead of just taking people's word for it when they're wrong.
That might solve the trigger happy petitionquesting. And you legitimately should eat a suspension for wasting a GM's time. There are people on this server who seem like they have almost a petition a day against other players.
The point is, no one on this server in the level 50-60 range is being aggrieved that badly in game to merit petitions of the volume we're seeing. Almost no one that I've seen in the past three months has crippled the game play of others to even justify a small suspension. LnS violations are very rarely an egregious disregard for the server rules.
Half the suspensions done yesterday were the most insane, idiotic suspensions, but because there's no measure to actually prove your innocence, we just have a suspend and ask questions later culture developing.
And by the time someone is able to get back to you? The suspension is already a week old.
Something in the PnP needs to change, be eliminated or re-tooled to stop wasting everyone's time.
Right now you can spend ten minutes of your day petitioning that someone did something injurious in game to you, and the exchange you get is a week (or more) of the alleged wrongdoer's time. It takes no effort to petition without proof, yet it works like a charm.
