Since we're in the criticism business today..

1) You cite a bunch of past events as "cheating behavior" and "abuses of power". Have you witnessed any lately (last 3 or so years)? Moreover, do you have any proof other than something anecdotal?

If the answer is no. Is transparency for the sake of transparency worth losing the staff in droves over? That is one possible outcome of this line of thinking.

2) Along those lines, do you want CF to have with no governance? Do you think that is beneficial?

(Are you personally angling for anarchy? Because many of your posts hint at that as a possibility.)

3) I see a lot of accusations and rhetoric in your (fairly articulate) posts, but little of substance. You want more transparency, concrete examples of what sort of system you envisage?

If you want a new system, you need to be concrete on what sort of system that is. As best as I can tell your only concrete solution is "be visible in RoTD".

4) Do you believe all infractions and rule breaches are created equally?

Is it fair to lop off a hand for stealing a loaf of bread, metaphorically speaking? If I catch a new player (week old) passing gear on a level 8, for instance, is that the same as an experienced veteran of 15 years dumping high end gear on his alt via an intermediary?

5) Would you be happy for the staff to post logs of, say, all the behavior we have to deal with? Log things in a public forum so that people can see the crap we have to put up with on a daily basis?

Is that something you'd want with transparency? Are we happy to start logging evidence and throwing it up on a public forum every time someone posts a log of me RoTD'ing them. Maybe we should. If the staff are visible as punching bags on alternative forums, players should be equally visible and held accountable for their actions too. Would that benefit you as a player?

Also bear in mind, while players can (and will) frequently conceal their identities. Staff cannot. You're the best demonstration of that actually, since you still visibly bear a grudge against Daev many years after the fact. The point is not whether it is warranted or not, but this demonstrates that staff ARE frequently held accountable for their actions by the player base and in many cases this is a perception of the staff member that is perpetuated in an unofficial echo-chamber (like Dios) with minimal or flimsy evidence to back it up.

We should be so lucky to have the same standards of judgment applied to us as most of our players enjoy today.

Edits: Edited to ensure I do not personally promise something I cannot deliver on. And to add point about staff vs. player anonymity. Grammar and formatting.
