Castiel all of the problems you mention are only an issue if you have RCP event standards that differ from gathering to gathering and its just too complicated.
On Starsider the events open to everyone were handled exactly the same as the only 2 guild events. The Community was, at all times, expected to follow those guidelines on how to handle harrassment: Calling a GM if needed. At larger events we just had more hosts to handle issues if they came up. That solves it.
To answer your conflict question, again on Starsider, if the event involved conflict the organizer/host made up the battle rules for that event. If you wanted to attend and participate you had to follow the event rules. Everyone knew this and it never was a problem. If a fight broke out at a gathering then the people used the standards they posted and communicated OOC and decided, since the fight involved just their characters and did nothing to the group/gathering as a whole, for themselves how to handle a fight. Also if the event host thought these guys were being distracting they would /tell the guys to go away from the group to handle the fight. Again its trusting people enogh not to try and police every little thing.
Really, IMO, since just having behavior standards in Starsider worked that's all we need to do really. Too many rules and the coalition looks like jerks. I think the following rules would be enough:
1) No griefing or harrassing other guilds or coalition members in the game or on the board. Guilds are expected to deal with members who are habitual harrassers and if they don't the entire guild may be expelled from the RPC.
2) At RPC Sponsered Events:
A) Regardless of personal rules any guild attending is expected to abide by the rules of the hosts and organizers of the event.
B) Hosts are expected to control the behavior of the attenders and if someone refuses to stop inappropriate behavior will report the person to the GMs.
As for "the last hope" that's just silly to take issue with. That's like arguing with me for thinking red is the best color ever. Only direct slander of a guild in the coalition or as a whole might need to be addressed. Since its someone elses board just PM the poster and if they don't retract report them to that board's moderators to deal with.
