Thing is, with many types of characters there's no ability to discuss it IC. Many types of imperial roles disregard tribunal law as such, there's no point in discussing it.
Outlanders and Entropy will not discuss intricacies of law as such, for the first - it doesn't exist, for the second - it's the ultimate evil.

That leaves discussions with much fewer participants, of which many don't break law. Like that was the reasons I once raised a forum whinefest as Kaer on ignite flags. I didn't OOC understand why I was flagged, but I didn't have an IC ability to discuss that. And I HAD to discuss that one way or another because being flagged affects your gameplay in a major way.

Same goes when you see tribs abusing their powers, but you can't report it IC because you're an outlander. OOC it ruins the game, but IC you should be happy about it.

So OOC law discussions are inevitable.
