I think that allowing the playerbase to make more game changing decisions is one of the best things Graal could do. A good way to start doing this would be implementing a way to "vote to ban a player".

Essentially what this does is adds a little "ban button" at the bottom of everyone's profile, something like this:

This button will then bring them to a menu with to options, asking "Do you want to ban this player". Selecting yes will begin a timed poll lasting 2 hours, and if the votes are in favor of the player being banned at the end of two hours, the player is banned. If the only vote was from the person who started the poll, they will still get banned, because obviously no one liked them enough to say they shouldn't be banned.

This would be one small step in the right direction for classic. With allowing players to vote to ban other players, it will give everyone the idea that the players are the ones who really should make the decision, and that the staff have no idea what the hell they are doing. This will push classic into an age of Democracy and Free Speech, where we are allowed to vote for other things too, like who should be hired as an admin/moderator, or whether or not to bring back honor points and the part of deadwood that was removed; Things like that, things that were important to us players that staff couldn't understand.

Obviously staff are going to respond to this saying that this is a bad idea, or other rubbish like that. But it is just because they are afraid of strong empowered players like you and me. Together we can ban innocent people who we don't like if you just fight for it.
