Deleted and edited some messages to keep the discussion away from insulting each other.

All the concerns written here against a pillory(i should say a list for those with sensitive "ears") are regarding the emotional effects it could have to the cheating teams?????

Just reread my post few messages above. It is a good idea, but it can't be added to the game in the way you propose.

i only posted that player this morning to let you know i keep checking him from time to time to see whether the 2nd team which benefit the 6.000.000 is banned as well or whether all players are for sale due to a huge fine...
if there was a list...i wouldnt have bothered more than a glance...by the way its been more than 4 weeks since i made the report....

I see. You know everything better than the GMs. Why are you asking then? Manouche is totally correct with his message, btw.

And if the thread continues to be the discussion of GMs' decisions or cheating accusations - it will be closed.

well... its getting late here in Athens...its easier to lose temper...:)))

never mind that....no hard feelings from my part.

just to conclude cause i think we are losing track of my initial suggestion.

Pillory was a term used wanting to describe the "formal' way of the game answering back to the users that bothered writing a report.

Since lots of experienced players dont see the benefit of enhancing such a communication between the GMs and the users by forming a "pillory" i have to respect that.

I have acknowledged though several voices that mentioned that something like a pillory/response could be another feature of the game potentially in the future.

I think the most important element of this post should be establishing the missing part of that communication.
we have been asked to search/monitor inappropriate gaming. If we were a bit suspicious prior to that....we got more by checking and eventually reporting assuming fraud/cheating.

You asked us to do that, and then our actions were left...

in the shadow

If a pillory is not what this game is missing or could benefit from ( i would agree other bugs need to be fixed first) then do please consider respecting the time of those writing a report. it could take another 5min of someone's unpaid-voluntary job but i reckon it would be much appreciated.
it would encourage people to continue trying to help the game by finding and excluding those who cheat, and will help them understand when and why someone is liable to get a fine...eventually the amount of pms received by the GMs will be reduced...
(if i have receiced the answer i got before by GM RIP, i wouldnt have bothered checking again and again someones log in day, and the nex time i would have written a report, such a lengthy answer wouldnt be necessary)

Pillory is discussed here. Not the people.

Pillory is discussed here. Not the people.

But pillory will always appear as old-fashion, as medieval so to say. Discuss something that's more up to date ...

would you rather called it I.M.F ???

Everyone who is in favor of a pillory, raise your hands.

Everyone NOT in favor of a pillory, raise your hands.
