Couldn't you use the in game Titan reporting system to funnel complaints into the Magistrates who can then discuss the matter in a private forum in cases where the two parties wish to remain anonymous and then still allow public complaints/cases in the Magistrates forum?
Of course, you'll still need an in game interface to enforce things, but just combining the two seems to make sense.
While I agree with the general thrust of this, what kind of provision would you have in place for those cases which start out public and then either party wishes to go private? Or maybe it would be an idea to have this system for two kinds of cases - public ones for minor offences which may only warrant a warning or the like - and private ones for more serious cases where anything up to a lightning bolt/permanent lock is the maximum sanction?
