So I was talking about the trial system in the TOS reddit and I realized it's been a while since I volunteered on there. I felt bad because I used to make a point of doing it a couple of times a week to try and help out. So I went over there and like, a whole bunch of the reports are for IGN. Ok.. that's fine. I don't mind going through those. They're frustrating because when someone has a very obviously racist name, it's a clear cut guilty and then you get penalized for that by being given a time out for judging too quickly, but I get why they do that so it's fine, I'll deal.
My issue came when I got the report I was wondering if I'd get. It's about a player that likes to use "Auschwitz Guard" as a name. Out of curiosity, I clicked his previous reports and there are DOZENS of them. He uses everything ranging from "Heinrich Himmler", "Nick Kerr", "im homophobic", "Auschwitz Guard" to name a few. The number of reports wasn't what was shocking to me (having met this guy) - it was that they were ALL either closed without judgement or found innocent.
THIS is why players are saying the trial system is broken. This guy does this because he knows he can get away with it.. because he can. He IS getting away with it. He also had a bunch of harassment and game throwing reports (like claiming Jailor D1 as vet and then alerting), CHRNOCALLY leaving D1 when mafia (many many many reports of this) all of which were found innocent or closed.
If player jurors are not cutting it (and clearly they aren't if all these blatantly racist/homophobic/antisemitic reports are getting innoed) then mod judges should be dealing with them.
This was one of the comments on one of the reports that was found inno (under the name of Auchwitz guard):
for thre love of god why have you not BANNED THIS USER YET! this is the most horrible in game name i have ever seen.
Antisemitic name
The earliest IGN report he has is for April. We're almost in August and this is still happening. No wonder players think they can do what they want. This isn't working.
