Fined for not giving access to Banker
SaDiablo:

No its not but your just looking at the surface, look deeper at your choice here and realize the damage that can grow from it. Allowing bad mechanics destroys the fun for other players, this should be clear to see.
James:
I've been involved in a situation like this myself, though I did refuse as soon as the "request" was made and did not wait until being fined before objecting.
Same arguments with regard to insisting that if people wanted my food they needed to put up buy orders.
As it is, I then set up an auto sell offer when my stocks got too high that is available to anyone. If the people within my own realm really wanted food they could put up but requests - I have fulfilled many, but still the auto sell went into place at times...

You would need to explain why it is any worse then the hundreds of other orders that can be issued and expected to be obey via a medieval hierarchy. For instance nobles have often been fined for travelling outside of their realm.
Poseidon:
This is about the players hoarding food and not responding back anyway to those who asked them to sell food.
Morek is a theocracy.. the said players ignored orders from the ruler itself.. dont think any medieval rulers would have accepted that without doing anything. They didnt even give an explanation or speak until now on why they dont want to sell food or open up their granaries.
This complaint seems to be more out of OOC reasons as the player complaining is one who was ridiculed by the ruler for supporting a region lord who allowed his region to starve and got kicked out due to the region loosing control.
Bael:
Yes, I really don't see the issue here.
It is a legitimate power struggle between Lords and the Council. If the Lords are looking after their food well, and making sure it gets sold, then they can argue that giving the Banker control is unnecessary. If, however, they are being negligent, and through this negligence the realm suffers, and if they then further refuse to cooperate when the Banker tries to right the situation, then arguably they deserve punishment.
Totally IC power struggle and dynamics. There is no rule that says "you can do whatever you want with your region, this is OOC and protected by IR".
Just like the IR says you can be active as much or little as you want. HOWEVER, higher positions require more commitment, an unspoken agreement when you take them on. This does not mean that you need to log in every day, but you DO need to do the job that your positions requires. And if not, you will, or at least SHOULD be called on it.
And you just got called on it.
Too many people just sit by quietly in BM (I know, as I am guilty of this in some instances as well), and then complain when their lack of participation is frowned upon. In this case, it sounds like you are actively not participating, and further not allowing others to do the job that you should be doing, and then complaining here when they apply the stick as an attempted second corrective measure.
