If you watch people's behavior over long periods of time, you'll note that these three effects occur in most people.

These effects could be influencing the poll, depending on what timeframe it was given. It's pretty simple to combat these effects.

This means having punishments show up in zk such as: <name> was <muted/banned/specmuted> for <reason>. This shows the community is being [b]actively[/b] moderated, signaling to potential abusers that they will be punished. Not only does this help disrupt the victim-abuser cycle, it also helps fight acquired helplessness through building confidence in the report system.

Arbitrators should pull abuser and victim aside and hear both sides of the story and help create resolution. This will help not only make the victim feel like their reports are being seen, it will also help deter further conflict through feedback.

Moderators
would
be
like
admins,
except
they
only
have
access
to
!kick,
specmute
and
mute
(
for
less
than
1
hour
total)
.
They
would
be
dedicated
to
answering
reports
and
assisting
the
admin
team
with
processing
reports
and
moderating
games.
This
would
reduce
workload
on
the
developer
admins,
leaving
them
to
only
deal
with
bans
and
long
term
punishments.
