This old debate... Sadly, this isnt how gm's do anything. Gm's that play the game they moderate, are always going to be biased. We as humans, tend to unconciously help those that we like, without even knowing it sometimes. For example: Pretend im GM:RageGank, and my alt is MageTank, of the xpendables guild. Lets say Someone comes up and calls Ruse an explicit word that would violate the rules. I would warn/mute him. Lets say someone else from another guild, calls a nohomo member the same explicit word, and i do nothing, that would be a bias on my behalf. Sure, theres that arguement that "Gm's have lives, and cant be around forever" statement, but its irrelevent to the point.
Do you gm's know why you have it so rough? You demand too much control over the players. Why are there rules against verbal herassment, when blacklisting exists? Lets use coffee as an example: She reported me for having a debate in GC, that i was offending people. Question coffee... if people were offended from my words, why wasnt blacklist used? Why was i immediately banned without warning, for apparently offending people that you cant name?
Had blacklist been used, none of this would be going on. Sadly, you gm's dont see it my way. When i offend people by speaking the truth, im torn a sunder by the community, even though there are features in the game specifically designed to prevent such events.
If the average player learned to be less offended, and use blacklist, gm's would be out of a job here. None of the events even require gm's. Hell, I can automate every single thing you current gm's do, send it to agatio, and there would be no need for gm's lol.
Sadly, the world will never function using logic. As soon as something is idiot proof, they build a better idiot. Perhaps you gm's should conduct a little test... just disappear for 24 hours, and see if the server is still standing. Use only the forum for techincal complaints, and those who are offended, let them fend for themselves. See if your job doesnt become easier.
