To Dante's point about discussing potential violations in the game—
What is the point of an adjudicating body like the Magistrates or Titans if not to resolve those very questions? I can envision a scenario in which a potential violation was committed, and through discussion in the realm, an incorrect explanation/defense was given that defused the situation. Why is that a problem? Because it denies someone their only recourse, and it wrongly educates other players about the rules. It's hard enough to convince people of a rule for which everyone seems to understand the basis. It's a nightmare when there's years of misinformation around it.
Why does that deny someone their recourse?
If the person either didn't feel that their concerns were heard, they can bring it to the Magistrates. If a person doesn't like an explanation given, they can bring it to the Magistrates.
I can perhaps see an argument for wrongly educating players about the rules, but if there is discussion it does educate players that at least there is a rule that they need to consider with respect to certain actions. Even if wrong explanations are given, open discussion is helpful in my opinion.
Let me use a real in-game example:
While General of Coria, my character proposed that Coria pass a law prohibiting the construction of Cavalry recruitment centers within the realm because they were less effective than infantry, archers, or Special forces in all manner of combat which Coria would ever fight in. Someone brought it up that they believed this was against the IR to allow people to recruit whatever unit they wished. I addressed that concern by referring them with a link to the Courthouse Q/A or case referring specifically to this issue. Namely, that controlling the centers available is allowed, but determining from there is not acceptable.
This was simple and easy, and educated everyone relevant in-game about the determinations already made by the Magistrates/community/Tom. Not everyone reads the forums, or the Magistrate cases. Only the parties involved even get information about them sent directly. If we place the proposed rule into place, we couldn't even have such productive discussions to even allow me to refer people to past cases and discussions as it'd be concerning the Magistrates.
I think if we simply prohibit using the magistrates and titans as a threat, then we cover most bases.
