Why isn't there some developed thing where, when there's a forum report/ban appeal it'll only allow people who are tagged in/staff to reply posts to the thread? Or like how this Q/A thread will work where the post has to be accepted by staff before it's publicly visible.. There's been waaay too many unnecessary posts lately that could be avoided by something like this.
Sometimes other people have useful contributions to make to forum reports, like a former lead coming in and explaining how a relevant ruling was during their tenure. Or, sometimes another player may have been there to witness the activities and can contribute some evidence. There's definitely more reasons than this as to why we keep reports open, though.
