Yes Arolte, I'm aware that is the problem.
Like you say, until the Game mechanics are in place to punish us for these wrongdoings we have no idea what they are.
If myself or anyone else is going to be punished in the meantime based on player input and decided by guides, I would like to see a definition of what griefing is.
Alternatively I'd like the player to be able to plead his case to a guide before any actions were taken.

As a guide, I've made it a point to seek clear definitions of behaviors we are charged with acting upon. Some things can be a little hazy, but that's why we chose people we felt had better than average judgement.

Griefing has always been a tough one to define. Incarnate himself has said he's not sure what griefing is. I know we'll come up with a working definition before we go taking action against somebody, but I can't say everyone will agree with it. The trick is to find a complete definition that isn't so constraining that it impacts other behaviors that might be permissable. This, too, will require judgement calls.

FM I think it's important to have the definition as well, make sure everyone knows about it and then enforce it.

It's important that the rules be clear and understood.

Yup.

I'm not sure I like it... it's open to abuse, and the sort of abuse it's open to ius worse than that which it is intended to prevent. Furthermore, there are plenty of legitimate reasons for one player to kill another that many times in such a short period. Would it be fair to then allow the losing player to report the winning one?

just my two cents...

I havent read all the posts but i dont like it especially with all the battling in sedina b8 i think more like 6 or 7 in 12 hours because 1 you are probably goning into the same sector and some people have a right to grieve

The voting thing is a very bad idea imo.

Remember, several months ago, many guys from SAF would have been banned by the bunch of blue newbs just because we had our asses kicked mercilessly at CtC and in the grey.
