I've heard a bit from the side of some of the people who have been banned, and the term "harassment" seems to have been watered down. It can be anything from repeatedly telling people to kill themselves to saying one time that you don't like a character in a voice chat almost a year ago

It definitely reeks of personal bias, and the transparency issues make it even harder to trust the team (Which personally I don't anymore), but even if I think this latest situation was handled poorly it can be a path to a better future.

Though after this rule revision and promise to do better for the nth time, I expect problems to be brought up in a reasonable amount of time. No waiting three months to alert an admin and waiting another three months to contract whomever you're having a disagreement with. Even I personally was paranoid in wondering if I had accidentally slighted someone a year ago without knowing, or if I'd eat a ban over something I've forgotten or never did while being unable to defend myself.

The new rules should absolutely include a statute of limitations; a week to bring up a complaint to admins and another week for the admins to alert whoever is being accused. I really don't buy fearing retaliation when the team has the power to more harshly punish anyone engaging in it, and if no one can trust that disagreements will be handled fairly and openly, people will end up only speaking to their friends in private to avoid the risk of upsetting someone else.
