GMs should be able to see the skills of players reported. I knwo there is a conflict of interest if you could just see any players skills...but its basically impossible to evaluate and catch bad transfers if you can't see skills...

that7s just dumb if you can't look up a palyers skills....
maybe they can make it possible but everytime you query a given plaeyrs skills it is logged in connection with teh specific reported case AND the GM...so like there woudl be log of which players each GM had queried the skills of. IF some GM was looking at all the players of his opponents, any other GM should be able to see his log of which players skills he looked at...and well naturally if he abused the priveledge, he'd lose his power.


when are you going to determine if someone abused it or not? only a GM would see it and thus you'd need another GM to check if a players skills got asked up or not. Just imagen the damage that could be inflicted upon U21 and NT players... you could get those skills and pass em on as a GM. you'd end up getting the boot sooner or later, but in the meanwhile, the damage would have been done, i somehow, i doubt that you'd like that idea...

This is the problem with not having someone professional to do some GM work and workwith/monitor/help GMs. Yo uguys don't have enough power at the end of the day to really effectively do your job. If you had somebody to lead you (and police you a little) then that would also mean they could be a bit more lenient and give you more power. They could aslo probably select a few more people to do the GM job overtime on a trial basis....keepoing those that worked well and sending those that blundered back to normal status. Overall you could probably have a larger volunteer force with one pro overseeing them. They really would only need 1 guy to do it. If the funds aint there...they aint there I guess.


former GM Foto had one intension when he became a GM leader ( yes we do have some GM's who are more equal than other GM's :P) he wanted to weed out the inactive GM's and replace them by active ones. Cheat ticket numbers that have yet to be processed, aswell as processiong sign ups have been at an all time low. cheating tickets get processed much faster than they used to. same goes for the Sign ups. So we might not have professional guy's, but we're doing well with what we got. And the GM's continuiously make propositions to the Devs to make tools so that we can catch cheaters more easely. Believe me, we are doing our best for BB ;)

your posts were a great first step for me. Talking about you as an organization, talking about general problems, possible moral problems humanizes the GM figure.

It is obvious that a ban list should not explain anything just the general rule broken, something like "multiaccounting". And you made obvious that it should not say who banned the cheater. I think that level of transparency would be harmless and again would help to humanize and help the community to understand part of the real labor the GM does. Also it would be a better persuasion against cheaters.
