Gonna keep this as succinct as possible. PAM team used to have another type of cases they were dealing with, called "Unfairness Cases". They were pretty much the same as the current IR cases and what they were aiming for was to solve any kind of unfairness. This system was removed a bit later, after the addition of IR board because they are pretty much the same thing. Now players get confused and sometimes they either run to IR board before they appeal their punishment, or treat each board as a 2nd appeal opportunity which is pretty much pointless since PAM team and IRS instant decline situations like these.
But the main reason the old system was better wasn't only because it was more organized in one board along with the PAs, but simply because more people used to add their view on each case instead of one. Which is pretty much what Arran suggested here:
What if injustice resolution has a team of jurors who will:
1. Vote if the subject severity is significant enough to warrant their further consideration. If not, the moderator (which can be like "the judge") can lock it.
2. Jurors will then discuss the matter and can mention people who they require information from (such as to get logs, or witnesses).
3. Vote on what the topic starter proposed as a solution and or create new solutions for the injustice to vote on. Or vote to take no action.
4. If the jurors have agreed on a solution, they are authorised to mention and require action to be taken. If the mentioned person(s) haven't taken action within a reasonable time, someone higher up (me if necessary) should be mentioned.
The decision of the jury can only be overturned by me personally, which would give them enough power to be meaningful. Decisions should be made in the best interests of CIT.
So instead of drastically change a IR into another PA board, we can simply use the old system which does pretty much the same thing and doesn't add another team of 6 people which will be hard for staff to handle.
We can of course make the Unfairness Cases better this time.
Also every single PAM in the current PAM team has been serving for over a year each Show content
except CoolDude who rejoined the team but was an old PAM as well and used to deal with Unfairness Cases
. So we (PAMS) all had the opportunity to handle the Unfairness Case system and we know how to deal with them.
With the support of the Administrators and head staff who have been really helpful for the PAM team over the years, we can make the current system better for the best interest of CIT.
