    Conflict of Interest

    I propose a amendment to the Accords. Article VI

    I will lay out the situation for you:

    Person 'Ad' in a site Admin. Person 'Mem' is a regular member.

    Ad and Mem are posting in a forum on the touchy subject of ______. They both have different views on the issue. After several post back and forth they both take it to the private messages(PM). They continue to argue about ______ and neither one is willing to back down on the issue and they start to push each others buttons (both are guilty here). Several messages later both parties are cursing and insulting each other. Ad decides to suspend Mem for X-amount of time and goes on himself without punishment.

    My proposal here is that in situations similar to the one above, in which both parties(one being a Admin and the other a Member) are guilty of disrespect, the following must happen:
    1. The involved Admin/Mod/etc may not suspend/ban/punish the Member his or herself. As the Member could claim a conflict of interest.
    2. A third party Admin/Mod/etc must be informed and ALL messages must be presented as evidence. Judgement will be rendered for both parties and a fair punishment will be distributed to both.

    The purpose of this amendment is basically to say that NOBODY, be it a Forerunner, Field Marshal, Moderator, Admin, Respected Member, or Regular Member is above the Accords(Law). One would think this as common sense, but common sense isnt very common.

    This could be re-worded a bit by someone, as long as the same effect is given. This is just a idea. If it is not liked, then simple say so and close the topic. Easy?

    Al Capone111 does what Al Capone111 does because Al Capone111 is Al Capone111.

    I'm not an asshole, I'm just not afraid to say how I feel.

    I agree on this and will post it in the War Council on your behalf for Forerunner Discussion as regular members can not propose an Accord Amendmant as per the Accords.

    On a side note: Very good idea. Should be done to ensure no abuse of power is happening, although it's sad to think an Admin would abuse a power trusted to them by the community.

    Thanks. Glad to hear that. It is sad to think that. Ive seen it happen before on other sites and it sucks. But better to put it in as a safety net and stop the issue before it happens.

    Re: Conflict of Interes

    Yep, I defintily agree with this. I think it really helps to develop some kind of checks and balances system for FC.

    I'm right back at it again...
