Recent Reporting - Vote.

The Full Story.
Some of you may not know but recently kthejoker20 was reported in clan chat for talking about having previously RWT'd.
The staff had a conference over this last night and decided that the most likely course of action was a clan vote. We decided it best to hold back on this vote and further discussion of the event until one of us could speak to the person who reported, so as to hear their side of events before jumping to conclusions.
We also decided that whatever happened that any consequence would rely on the person admitting what they had done or no vote would be neccesary as we would kick. . This job fell to Froboz.
However before Froboz could speak the to person involved lye messaged me saying that he had reported joker and we spoke on the matter, he assured me that he would never have reported if it wasn't for RWT, this I believe as we all in clan chat were talking and occasionally cussing etc, evading the word censor, not in extreme, but lye was there the whole time and could easily have reported if he was of the inclination.
I understand his dislike of RWT and myself it is almost the only thing I have ever reported people for except when some idiot was threatening to rape my mother and kill my family..
However I like most think the clan chat should be somewhere where we can be safe to say and do things without fear of being reported, if someone should need to be reported then it should be a clan matter to decide on the outcome not Jagex's. We should also be able to trust other clan members.
Having said that, we talked and I explained that a lot of people see it as a trust issue and he understood and agreed that he wouldn't report a clan member again. That the only reason he reported was that it was discussing someone having real world traded, something he strongly disagree's with, and that he feels is the reason RS has gone so downhill lately with all the things Jagex has implemented since Dec 10th. He apologised to me.
I wanted to speak to Froboz again so that we could discuss it further in the light of what was said, As I do have mis-givings about banning someone for a rule we dont yet have. Even if I disagree with what was done.
Having spoken to Froboz we thought an apology was in order before we went further, however i didnt get the chance to speak to Lye again, the apology he made to the clan was something he did, he was not asked to do this.
Given this and that staff were still split on the matter, I thought it best to wait until I could speak to all the staff again, during the day however despite the post being locked so that staff could deal with this issue, the topic was re-opened,
