Policy Discussion: Spelling Out GM Procedure & Making Everyone's Lives Easier

[Frieza_Prexus]

I certainly hope the system in place now continues to gain acceptance and work, but I can't help but remain pessimistic about parties sometimes forcing issues into GM arbitration as some sort of scorched earth policy. We've seen it before, and it will be seen again.

My point, which I don't think I've made clearly, isn't that all problems should go through the GMs, it's that the ones that MUST go through the GMS should have a simple and efficient procedure for resolution. It's consistent and fair, and it avoids the constant back and forth appeals to repeatedly open, close, and reopen the issue.

When accusing someone of wrongdoing, a guild should be able to concisely make its argument all at once and the accused should be given an opportunity to review and concisely respond to the complete complaint against it before judgment is passed.

What I am suggesting does not go against what you want to do; it merely makes it easier for everyone when you occasionaly decide to get involved.
