Mordion Gaol is a bad system

What is nice in one circle may not be in another. You cannot know what is and isn't unless informed of what it is. This is why everywhere but public opinion they let you know exactly what you are being punished for or charged with. Not simply "You violated this rule". They Point out exactly what you did to violated said rule. It is literally the only way one can learn from their mistakes.

When someone is annonymously reported to their university for cheating, (for example), the university does not tell the person reported what exactly they did, because they KNOW that while not everyone is going to do this, the sheer RISK of someone going out of their way to verbally harass/attack/etc. the person they perceive as doing the report. They'd say "you cheated in this class on this test" and that's it. However, something akin to that applied to OPs situation would be "you said this in this dungeon run". Unfortunately that is WAY too specific because now OP would have only 3-7 people to figure out who did the reporting. From there it's easy to narrow down. It's happened to my boyfriend on a different game.

So instead of them giving enough information for you to *find* the person, they give you *just enough info* for you to begin watching what you say and do - that's ultimately what they want for first time offenders, really. No cursing, and no OBJECTIVELY offensive content - we're not talking about people taking personal offense to the color purple or something, but slurs, sexist denigrating comments, cussing, and obviously offensive stuff. Past that, it's up to the discretion of the individual, and if you personally feel you've said something offensive, apologize immediately.

That is very true, but in some cases it seems it can go further than even that.
If this thread is to be believed, for a GM to even act on the report the person who filed it couldn't be a bystander. The reported person could easily narrow it down from 3-7 suspects to 1.

That's very worrying if true, yikes. I'm very, VERY glad that it is the way it is now, then, as opposed to the moderate ambivalence towards the system that I felt before.
