The way we respond to these issues must be contextual, or the “protective” actions become increasingly detrimental to the community as a whole.

Naturally. I didn’t say staff should never share details, just that the player wasn’t entitled to details - especially if they would compromise the privacy of players who reported an issue.

“Your conduct on the Public channel the other day was out of line” or “That log you shared was super racist and unacceptable” are very different situations than “I’m banning you for stalking Suzy and here’s what she said you did.”

Because it is nuanced and contextual, I don’t automatically find it suspect if staff doesn’t disclose details.

That said, I disagree that on top of game-runners’ already overwhelming duties we need to add “help misguided people to better themselves”. If they wish to do that, great. I applaud them. But they should not be expected to do so. Some of the most toxic people in this community will cry “I’m just misunderstood / I did nothing wrong” till the cows come home, so telling the difference between a serial predator and someone who doesn’t know better can be super tough. I don’t fault anyone for just drawing the line at “you’re not a good fit for this game.”
