@Dicer @Alex1488 I was also a participant in the Tribunal. There were several factors to how this played out.

The Tribunal worked by presenting chatlogs and asking, "is this abusive language?" The idea was that a player would give his genuine opinion and that would resolve the issue.

However, in practice, you received in-game rewards for participating, and, crucially, you were ranked by how often your guess fell in line with popular opinion. You would not be rewarded if your guesses were incorrect, and you actually had a running tally of your correct guesses in a row, which would reset should you fall out of line with even a single popular opinion.

It also had the unintended consequence of sparking social media content around actual tribunal logs. Some were completely hilariously or so insanely and unnecessarily vile that it shocked you. This was a 'bad look' and I am convinced it is the primary reason they dropped the Tribunal.


This is the likely future of Justice. You're entitled to a jury of your peers, but your jury is going to vote based on how they think people want the outcome to be (i.e. with Floyd where they were afraid of riots).
