The fact is that in such matters, only a handful of people can actually DO something about it. Posting about it here on these forums for everyone to discuss only brings it to the attention to hundreds of people who A) can't do a thing anyway, B) don't know enough information about what actually happened or any other circumstances (e.g. how long the situation took, the exact words people said, or in this case, whether or not there were any pre-existing warnings), C) tell him he was wrong, though there are a few who will agree with him, but most of those people agree with the complaint only because they too had a complaint and will use this opportunity to bring them up again even though it had been ruled that they were wrong in the first place.
Add the fact that most of these threads are written in such an immature fashion that most people reading them would think: "yeah, I can picture him as being the type of person to actually do what he was accused of, and I'm glad he's banned".
I mean, if people think they should put their complaints here instead of the e-mail because staff will ignore the e-mail, then what makes them think that staff won't ignore the post just as much? After all, it's in the job description for them to be reviewing the complaints e-mail. There's nothing forcing them to come to these forums and read posts here.
I suggested this in an earlier, similar thread, and I think it might be something staff can do to make the public feel better. Whenever staff receives a complaint from a player, and staff then makes a decision about it (whether in favour of the player or against) they should THEN post the result for the public to see. That way people can see that something was done and what the results were. Just post them up in a new forum, and make them closed to replies. This lets people know that, when things are put through the proper process, they get addressed.
