Quoting from Backroom discussion just to get this out here. If any Magistrates wanted this amended they should have spoken up in the last month.

Quote
A verdict has been reached, and IG enforcement actions have been taken. For anyone who desires to cite this case in the future, the final verdict is:

"After consideration, the Magistrates find the defendants Not Guilty. We recognize that the player bringing the case feels that he has been harassed, but the pattern of behavior is, overall, relatively unobjectionable. We will close this case with a simple admonition to the players who were reported:  Please take the plaintiff's feelings into account and try to remember them when determining how to interact with him in the future. As ever, there's no call for rudeness, and whether we agree that what happened was harassment or not, the plaintiff did and does and those are valid feelings to have. Please do your best to make sure that he continues to feel welcome in the game and the community despite any disagreements you might have with him or his characters. We expect no less from anyone who plays the game.

Magistrates voted 4-0 in favor of a Not Guilty verdict.

This thread will remain open for any questions regarding the case."


Moderator note: ^ban^ posted the verdict for a different case. I have edited this post to quote the actual verdict for this case.
