Why was the tribunal removed?

^ Once I get an answer I'll delete this, I'm just wondering. Because it seemed like a great system that doesn't rely on automation.

Even having like 5% of reports (selected randomly) up for tribunal review would work...

  1. Tribunal was slow. We didn't have enough participation to quickly go through probably hundreds of thousands of report so punishment was being handed out weeks/months after the report.

  2. The initial launch of the IFS algorithm was learned from all the Tribunal data so the Tribunal would not had punish/forgive any case the IFS wouldn't. Now that the IFS has a few years to learn from report pattern of the player base, the IFS is a much better representation of what the entire player base defined as toxicity than a very, very small portion of the people who participate in Tribunal.

  3. etc. etc.

A few reasons actually.

  1. It was very slow to process cases, leading to situations where people could get punished for poor behavior displayed months ago.
  2. It took a long time to even get cases to judge.
  3. Some people just spammed punish/pardon in an attempt to just troll the system without even looking at the cases themselves.

The IFS was built in part with feedback and info from the Tribunal and does the job much better than the Tribunal ever could.

P.S. There's no need to delete the thread when you could just leave it up as a reference sheet of sorts for both yourself and others.
