Hmmm. You've actually convinced me. The current system is flawed. Well, perhaps incomplete.
You're right, a small number of players should not decide this. I think a mass rpt should trigger a "Tribunal" where players are given 2 min to vote yes (".guilty") of no(".notguilty") on whether you get muted. Like a map vote in some games.
You may have admirers who think you are being unfairly treated. That would give them the chance to vote in your favor.
I think someone who still thinks the Wishlist forum has a purpose should post that.
