Why can’t we have a Court or some sort of arbitrary board?

NS courts are notoriously slow to act and routinely issue ridiculous rulings. As an example, the court of The North Pacific has in the past acquitted an individual who has twice perpetrated coups and massive native purges against TNP.

Given the moderation issues our community has regularly faced, we really don't need a court slowing things down and making bizarre rulings that allow guilty people to stick around causing disruption. We especially don't need it just because some people like to play prosecutor or judge. We need to do what's best for our community, not accommodate some people's individual niche preferences. A court system would be bad for our community and logistically impractical given our gameside focus.

I'll also note Pacifica had a court once before, under the Republic of Pacifica, and it utterly failed.

Also, the word you're looking for is arbitration board, though I'm sure its decisions would end up being arbitrary.
