I propose an nationstates tribunal made up of players and one mod or admin, here the defended should at least see whats he/she is being accused of and his/her accuser should be brought forth based on the evidence we the people will decide if this individual is guilty of said crime before handing down whatever punishment that mod wants to give.
note the moderation can't extend the punishment if the offended that chose to stand trial at the tribunal if such acts are discovered a miss trial will be declared.
I want it to be know in nationstates history the mods and admin have all the power and we the userbase are granted little to no freedom except what we are allowed to have, at least this way we are given some power.
) The mods are not any less our peers than judges/juries/law enforcement officers in real life. They have been appointed by a higher authority (in this case the site owner, Max Barry) to keep order here. I am confident in stating that this will never be a democracy, and that's quite fine - normal, even - for an Internet community. The mods can and do take player feedback when appropriate, but they don't have to. When following Max's orders, they have the right to moderate however they want. We have no rights here except those given by real-life law, and those are for very specific cases if they exist at all. I don't mean that we are denied rights - we don't have them to deny. We came here, clicked some buttons, agreed to some Terms & Conditions, and accepted someone's offer to set us up an account on the servers for their online game. Any purchases made through the NS Store entitled us to nothing but our purchase. This is all how it should be, and if you don't like submitting to authority here, you'll either have to leave or do it anyway.
