Allow private world commissioners to restrict access between seasons. Rationale for removal must occur prior to the end of the season (heads up to us) and again when the season rolls.

We will continue to review some of these instances subjectively, but this maintains the majority of the power in the commish hands.

For a commish to be removed from commish duty, we will need 10 other owners in the world to state they agree in the world chat during the season.

Thoughts
Sounds perfect to me

the fair play rules themselves are still far too weak.

They are too weak, but you only have to deal with them in public leagues. To me this just makes private leagues more private and public leagues more public. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. If you join a private league you run the risk of getting booted whether you agree with the reasoning or not. If you join a public league you're protected by WIS, but you don't have some of the benefits private leagues do.

It's a trade off, and I think a reasonable one.

A "one size fits all" quantifiable approach to tanking/fair play may work well for public worlds, but I'm glad tzent has recognized the needs of private worlds differ.

I would also recommend some clearly stated FAQ/sign-up differentiation to explain to prospective owners that commissioners have discretionary power within private worlds above and beyond WIS's "fair play guidelines", a sort of caveat emptor.

a satisfactory resolution for the time being. not sure if this will work in the long-run but for now peace is restored in the HBD forums.

Yeah exactly. I mean regarding the Fair Play Guidelines ... frankly whatever they come up with will be somewhat arbitrary. They're not going to please anyone, and they benefit from clear cut lines in the sand that are as simple as possible.

I agree a caveat would be wise on their part, and probably help all involved. CS, commishes, prospective users. Everyone.

Which rogue commissioners have been booting people on a whim?

Why have I only heard of two examples, domi and harthj, since the inception of HBD?

I am sounding like a broken record: Because not everyone uses the forums religiously.


And I keep repeating the same questions because I don't think it's a problem. There are good worlds and bad worlds, good commishes and bad commishes. But, if some commish had been removing owners for silly reasons, it would have exploded and we'd all know. That's not to say it hasn't happened. But I don't think it's rule-worthy. Nonetheless, I'm even suggesting that all commishes be held responsible for their actions. Unjust removal would be dealt with harshly by ADMIN.

I could live with this. Especially since I've suggested much of it.
