TMO raid suspension secretly lifted

[Craigmandu]

Perhaps the desire to keep it quiet was merely a misguided attempt to avoid a shitstorm rather than anything sinister.

Perhaps it wasn't......

The truth is, when you try to hide something like this, regardless of your intentions the worst scenario is what people will gravitate to.

Without comment from the GM or show of the new "evidence" that supported the reduction, what else should the community take from it? Not, what else should 1 or 2 guilds take from it, but the entire community.

I try not to attribute malice to incompetence unless given a reason to.

Still wondering where all the forum raging was when IB got an entire week off of their suspension when they were 100% guilty of ninja looting. No new fraps or logs were brought to the table to prove that they didn't ninja.

GM's not personally informing you of the reduced suspension =/= Secret


either way I do feel GM's are way too lenient here... GM's let raiding guilds walk all over them and the rules.

the suspension should of stayed, these guys are douches

Don't really understand this myself either. I can't think of too many games that will discuss disciplinary actions with players. Perhaps a precedent had already been set here, but if so I'm not sure it's a very good one.

How do you know this? How do you know it wasn't "secret" like this was? That should have been made public just like this should have been. Again, it is the authorities responsibility to inform the community when they make changes to publicly declared decisions. It's okay to change it, and it could very well be warranted, just be transparent about it.

Thats an interesting concept.


Public humiliation might help people see how much work the GM's actually do on bans.



Maybe make a thread where it lists a persons in game name(s), offense, and penalty/punishment.


I know other games have done that before and you can see just who the worst offenders are easily.

The reduction of IB's suspension wasn't secret.
