I guess I expect more from the staff than you do.

I expect that a referee must explain their decision, to all for whom the situation is relevant, which at the very least means the punished person. Otherwise their decision has an air of arbitrariness even if it was justified (and in the listed examples it wasn't).

I also agree that by playing the game we automatically give consent to whatever shenanigans may happen at the whim of the gamemaster. However, if they prove to be a ####ty gamemaster we reserve the right to call them out on it repeatedly until the end of time.

And playing the game does not mean consent to having my OUT OF GAME correspondence viewed. No matter how mundane it may have been. It is a blatant violation of trust and they should be ashamed of that.
