I can't necessarily agree with that. I've personally banned my best friend of 16 years, when I discovered they had been using a trainer (and yes, we are still friends).

Some of your points are pretty obvious, some of them are just... odd, and point 5 isn't feasible as it would take up too much time in all the beurocratic pointless stuff. In reality, if someone feels they were jailed unfairly, it would be handled by the higher GP's, which in effect is what your council idea is, except it's only called on when there is a dispute.

The idea that players should decide the rules is just plain flawed. If we tried that in real life, 5 year old kids would be buying 18 certificate films and games; smoking, drinking and driving would all be legal at a much lower age; and we'd have public hangings again. It's not hard to see why you need sensible and level headed people to determine the rules instead.

On a side note, what HoudiniMan said makes a lot of sense.
