I see what you did there. As a reminder, I don't have all the answers (hence my intent behind trying to initiate discussion about this as opposed to just doing the usual [Brute] style where everyone misconstrues my intention and chalks it off as 'confirmation bias'). idk. Perhaps such a system (i.e., the brethren court) could tally votes to create a decision to be brought forth ultimately to official moderation for concurrence and approval. It really matters not. The goal I am trying my best to convey is that if you give players the chance they may surprise you on how well they can contribute to bringing forth decisions of justice themselves (in-game), to an extent, for the purpose of game ownership.
As I recall, POTCO became at it's end a crap of a game because nobody felt compelled to have any sense of ownership over it. It became a free-for-all to which everything goes because everyone knew Disney was not sufficiently moderating. *This is not to say TLOPO is doing the same. This is to say, rather, that the greatest asset TLOPO moderators have is the eyes and ears of the ground-level player. Why not help them in a way to contribute further in lieu of the ignore/reporting options.
*In reality, whatever is decided about conclusions draw upon this thread is a win-win for me because if trolls/trouble-makers take time to read...I hope they understand the extent I am willing to go to push for more "regulation" in-game because I too have a stake in the success of this remake; the impact TLOPO has upon the success of this forums. Aye! That is exactly what a sense of ownership is, is it not?
So basically what you're saying is the average player needs to have more of a voice. Or rather that their voice needs to be more widely heard right?
