Firstly, I would like to say that this doesn't apply to any current situation. This is a hypothetical situation.
I would like to ask whether IC repercussions are allowed for breaking game rules. These are the 3 scenarios I can think of. In no cases are moderation being threatened, and in all cases the ZI is as a result of the perceived rule breaking. Personally I think B and C are okay, and A isn't, but I would like clarification.
Scenario A:
Party X feels party Y has broken a game rule (eg. slot filling), and instead reporting it to moderation, decides to ZI them.
Okay or not?
Scenario B:
Party X feels party Y has broken a game rule (eg. slot filling), reports it to moderation and ZI's them without waiting for a response from moderation.
Okay or not?
Scenario C:
Party X feels party Y has broken a game rule (eg. slot filling), reports it to moderation, feels that moderation's response was inadequate, and so decides to ZI them.
Okay or not?
Edit: maybe this should have been in the moderation forum.
