Player agreements or server norms, are player enforced. People need to quit looking upwards to settle disputes, and form a semi-cohesive community instead.
Players who went against server norms in Classic were ostracized, but so were players who did nothing but whine and complain to the zone or Guides/GMs for every, actual or perceived, slight against them.
o What guild is he in?
o Will a hit team show up to take it back?
o How will this make me look to the community?
o Can I even take this guy?
Are all legitimate questions to be asked in this situation. Unfortunately none of them matter on Red.
Project 1999 Red Server:
The quintessential Catch 22. It would be the BEST server around if it actually had a healthy player population and community to dole out occasional justice to the bad eggs; it will never be the best server because there isn't currently a healthly player population and community, because of the bad eggs currently there.

Your ideas about common sense and player agreements go out the window when:
1) A lot of the community doesn't give a shit about the "community"
2) Staff are limited in what they can do in terms of enforcement
3) Even if a player is banned it's FREE to start a new account and get PLed by your fellow scumbags
Classic EQ has a lot of mechanics that allow for douchebaggery like people said, unless you change mechanics there are people who push the rules and people look to prior rulings for precedent. A lot of situations that come up aren't even two parties being douchebags to each other, just that there's no real clear cut way to settle things...look at people who like NBG v. greed rolls it's fairly split on that topic.
