== Judicial Systems/Discipline == | |||
One thing I want to talk about is how we deal with discipline in our group. For a long time, it's been all behind closed doors. Between the EC and the ships, our intention was always to avoid embarassment for anyone. But is this really the best? The judicial system of the United States has some credibility because it is mostly open. Everyone (technically) has access to the courtroom, and there is accountability in the process and in the punishment. | |||
One of the things we've been accused of repeatedly in our history is conducting business unfairly because we punish people and maybe even "exile" them without any accountability. It may be to everyone's benefit to conduct business out in the open to force us to be accountable for our actions, ''and'' to encourage good behavior. Instead of allowing someone like T'preen (who has changed her ways -- bless her) to cause a ruckus and then be discipline in private, perhaps we should have posted this information in a special area on the site. Something that lists the charges against her/rules she broke, then allows her to rebutt, and then either allows the gathered people to make a decision (jury of her peers), or allows the facilitating authority to make a decision. | |||
