    soo recently there have been cases where i watch staff calling out people to not to comment on the posts in which they are not involved in
    So Here is my suggestion :-
    Just make a option so that the people can choose between private or public posts
    they can make exceptions by adding the names of people who are not in the staff and can watch the given post
    So yeah that is pretty much it
    I am hoping to get reply of people tell if they are in favour or not and if not what could be the reason
    and I am hoping to get a heavy amount of reply to make this system better

    Well the problem is that if a person puts some private or some personal information in his or her thread then everyone watching that is not really worth it
    Look at it like this
    if 1 random person could give some valuable information
    then 100 other people are trash talking about that post

    like if there is a problem then why did YOU MAKE IT PUBLIC

    It was made public for players to analyze and see the reports, so the offender could defend himself and other people may post if they had information about the case.

    Making it all private won't work, we need to take involving posts more seriously and start actually punishing people for it, just warns don't help, it's useless to warn something they already know.

    i am not talking about making all post private
    i am talking that the guy who posts has the option to make it public or private
    and has the option to make exceptions for people
    and you said "It was made public for players to analyze"
    da heck are players gonna do after analyzing
    and if some random person has information he or she may contact him via minecraft or leave him a mail about the info or tell him or her to add him in the exceptions

    Hello a12d :)

    I can understand why you're making such a suggestion, since there are indeed a lot of unnecessary posts in the report sections with staffs having to warn players. Yet, opening up such options to the players making reports is too an unnecessary action. As mentioned earlier, valuable information may be provided by other players and we aren't going to deprive these players with information because of players who do not follow rules and continue to post in reports despite warnings. On top of that, defendants also need to have their right to explain themselves and transparency is also appreciated in reports. Appreciate this transparency that GuildCraft has. I'm not sure why you're pissed by staffs telling players not to reply in reports, but just because the report was public doesn't mean you get yourself into it. Do you join every fight you see on the streets? I think not. Point here being, the report section is kept open for reasons that have been mentioned earlier. Players have been told not to make replies in reports they are not involved in and it is their responsibility to follow the rules. We are here to enforce it. It's that simple :)

    well first of all if a person makes a post he or she would obviously add the offended and so he would be given the chance to defend himself
    second the thing is people post things such as sexual harassment which I think as a human being are things other people should not see
    and for the most part I have never seen a random guy giving valuable information
    and if you post something embarrassing you will not want everyone to see that
    and finally if someone needs that he or she needs to make exceptions to private post he or she can and random people with valuable information can certainly mail or msg the post maker ingame
    it is not unnecessary nor it is necessary
    its like in middle
    its like prevention is better than cure kinda thing :)

    Your first point fails at the instance when there are reported players who do not have a forum account. Without an account, adding them is impossible, much less have them explain themselves.

    Sexual harassment is not tolerated but does not warrant privating a report just to keep it out of view. Rather, let it serve as a timely reminder for those itching to break the rules. In fact, sexual harassment is even more prevalent on the in-game chat. Is that to say we ban chatting in-game at all so no one gets exposed to such explicit language?

    Regarding the point on embarrassment, if you had the guts to do it, then face the consequences. Even criminals get their faces printed on newspapers, what's more this is just a block game. Lesson being, think twice before you act.

    Lastly, prevention is better than cure. True indeed, but you don't simply ban the sale of knives in supermarkets simply because those are potential weapons for murder. The responsibility lies on the user. I've said my piece, so this shall be my last reply here. You're more than free to hunt me down in-game if you are still not convinced. Peace out :)

    first if a user does not have an forum account they wont even be able to defend themselves on forums as well so if a private post is made about his or her doesn't matter either way cuz he doesnt have the forum account

    just privating a post does not mean that it is not accessible to anyone it is accesable to a lot of people who could help on the given topic and in such a case i would not want that people other than authorities should see it.
    and Banning chat isn't the solution the chat system is not perfect and still when something like this happens people get muted and bans.

    and as you are saying criminals get their face printed on the paper not how they did and what all they did they just give a very short information on what the criminal did not how bad he or she did that crime for example if a criminal does murder you are only told the name and what he did not shown that he first took someone somewhere and then stabbed him 5 times or what ever

    True that knifes are sold but does the store give knifes to anyone
