Allow players to player report admins in public.

[Zach..]

As it is now, if an admin goes in game and breaks a rule such as DM, CC, etc, they cannot be forum reported. They have to be staff reported in a hidden section. This is not transparent at all and makes it seem like admins are above the rules. They should be held to the same standard as any player if they have broken a rule IC.

This is actually allowed! For some reason my recent report on an Admin who was on his player character was locked. Pretty weird to see that information given in an official rule thread is not respected.

Supported +1 for transparency

 

I think this allows too much discretion by not allowing it to be shown in public as everyone should be held to the same standards and so that repeated behavior shown by staff members can be addressed publicly as a form of transparency. Private information can be messaged to the handling admins directly.

Hell yeah, about time.

Forum Report = In game stuff.

Staff Report = When admin has made a decision someone doesn't agree with.

 

Thought that was the rules anyhow?

[Invictus]

yeah staff reports are usually on admin related things

[sevo]

I do not see much tangible benefit from allowing staff complaints to be publicly visible. You could argue the same for player reports, but when a number of parties are involved and having to weigh in on the incident at hand, it is understandable why they are public to enable those who are involved to submit their comments and arguments. Staff complaints on the other hand usually do not require a back-and-forth between the complainant and the accused.

 

If you consider the world outside of this game and consider this from the perspective of an organisation's complaint procedure, I am sure you would be hard-pressed to find complaint investigations available in the public domain. Perhaps the only exception to this is legal cases and law enforcement internal affairs investigations. For the latter, this generally comes in the form of details of anonymised dispositions of complaints, rather than entire cases and their investigations.

Agreed, no reason for a special process for rule breaking that didn't involve being a member of staff.

Zani has said that anything related to a staff member is a staff report...despite what was said by Management in the server rules question thread.

I'd let Management make a decision as unfortunately Pillsbury is no longer a member of the staff team!
