If another person forms a view based on incomplete and inaccurate information, I couldn't care less about my credibility with them. What you describe, Mike, is giving in to popular opinion, regardless of its correctness.

The whole point of our little revolution here is to stand up for what's right regardless (well, not entirely regardless, but we are willing to expend a lot of resources, credibility among them).

We are unable to perform a task because the method by which that task is completed has been taken away from us. It is wrong, on so many levels, to hold us accountable for that inability. The status of our reporting officer is in appeal, he's not *allowed* to file reports. This isn't an issue of a lazy DST screwing over his Domain, it's the higher level of the organization making us dig our own grave at gun point.

Incidentally, what does the handbook have to say about reporting requirements and Domain dissolution? I keep hearing about policies that I know have existed in the past, but I find myself wondering how many of those policies are still active.
