I think my last post must have come out wrong. I do think its a shame arbies use mechanics to convict... but I think they have to. In the olden days (which is more or less what cf is.. its not a democracy or republic or anything remotely organised is) > Much as with a civil trial in real life, the burden of proof is the "balance of probabilities." For anyone who says you need hard-core, 100% proof, you're, well, dead wrong. > Arbiters can, and will, flag based on strong probabilities. If the Arbiter is sure you did it, and circumstantial evidence points to you, he's quite likely to flag -- even if someone wasn't standing there, watching. > -Trasthe
not having 100% proof was never a problem and I dont think it should be in Thera...
of course its up to the individual arbie.
