    "Buyers" meaning the same scenario of wrong doing made by 2 individuals but you only focus one person wrong doing and ignore the other wrong doing (can be your friend and etc). Can be also meant showing favoritism..

    What i describe are based on my opinion and not OP thread opinion. I just saying why would a thread made all of sudden regrading of GM professionalism? If you say they are so call doing their work well.

    This thread is to review GM who choose to take up this job. Let's say a person apply a job in a company, and customer and consumer are not happy with their work, they, the customer report it to the company manager or boss to review and take action of the worker ways of work, to improvise..

    I believe the word you're looking for is bias #justsaying

    I believe it is important to recognise the difference between being efficiently blunt, and involving personal impulse in the interactions you have with players.

    There was a thread where a player used hokkien profanities towards you, and you retorted using hokkien as well, knowing very well that it wasn't necessary since it wasn't fruitful to the exchange at all.

    We as players want to think that the people who have appropriate authority and influence in the server are minimally able to conduct themselves well. This is how we are assured that the server is in good hands, maintained by people who know how to play their roles according to what is expected of them.

    To reiterate what OP said,
    Let's not digress from replying professionally in ban appeals

    The issue with GMs being extra descriptive in ban appeals is that more clues will be revealed for people to exploit. Royals staff already gave away too many hints regarding their methods of finding/tracking cheaters in the past. Rule breakers will observe ban appeals and evolve accordingly to avoid specific barriers GMs used to catch others. We already see an example of such application - drop trading to avoid log tracking.

    Reports were made anonymous to protect the reporter's privacy and identity, giving "evidence" in such scenario will defeat the purpose of making reports anonymous.

    If anything could improve, rules regarding false report can be strengthened to severely punish those who submit edited/false evidence.

    Dude do you think you are working for MI6 along with James Bond or what? You are not breaking anybody to confess, you clearly act like a jerk in the ban appeals and you have personally been complained about since before i quit and thats ages ago. I dont understand how people can keep telling you that you have an attitude problem and you refuse to change it? And please dont try to meme yourself out of it with acting like the tough police officer here thats breaking the bad criminals of mapleroyals !!!

    Keep being awesome @Kai ! You're one of my favourite GM's. I reckon cause I'd respond to ridiculous ban appeals in the same way you do. In most cases, I don't even see what the issue is with what you said.

    Good thing I'm not, and never will be, a GM ;)
