Will this be an effective means of utilizing the population of the community as a force to resolve harrassment issues? Is the system fullproof enough in its anonymous matching that it would prevent another Sims Online Mafia incident? Time will tell!

“Yeah, it potentially could [lead to another online mafia incident], but it looks like they’re doing a lot to make sure only experienced players can do it & that there can’t be collusion (judges get random cases, can’t communicate, don’t know how much their vote is worth). It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out.”
