Thank you, Cado, that means a lot to me. Yeah, I did wonder, when Killian came after me, why people stood by and let it happen and did nothing to stop him... But thank you for the apology, that means a lot.

Yeah, what they did was awful. Lady was punished; she was demoted and lost her position as admin (although it sure did take a long time), but Killian made himself virtually immune to punishment when he got himself elected as bureaucrat.

We do need something to make harassment more difficult to get away with... More detailed and specific rules, with specific examples. We also need rules which elaborate on the responsibilities of an admin and clearly state what they are not allowed to do (like not being allowed to give anyone special treatment, deliberately let people get away with breaking the rules, and deliberately stand by and do nothing while someone is being harassed). And rules that forbid admins from punishing people for exposing harassment and bullying, or punishing people for standing up for others. I think I'm going to work on a draft and hear what people think about it, once it's finished.

Of course, bureaucrats can still break these rules, but people are often less inclined to do so if there are actual rules that people are expected to follow.
