With respect MB, I think you misunderstood my point. I'm absolutely in favour of people reporting this stuff, and I hope FM are acting on it. It's hard to tell sometimes but let's hope so. I'm not discouraging anyone from making the reports, people like Rattlesnack are doing a great job and long should they continue. I'll also support the wiki whatever they do, if this is their agreed way I have no problem with that. I'm just giving my opinion, people can take that as they wish.

Put it another way: if I think my city isn't doing enough to fight crime, I can campaign for more police officers, I can lobby my local politician, go on radio phone-ins, write letters to the press, make as much noise and as publicly as possible (I've always supported and encouraged people to raise the issue of cheating).

If I have information about a specific crime I think is taking place, I call an anonymous phone line and give evidence, they might ask some questions, then that's about as far as my involvement goes. The investigation is up to them, if they think there's enough evidence they go and arrest someone. They don't conduct their investigations in public.

If my local police told me: "To report a crime don't call us, post your evidence on this public chat room which isn't set up by us. We might monitor it, we might not, we won't ever tell you. Also everyone will see the evidence you post, including the criminals," I'd think that was a bit strange.

By the way it's not "some random email." It's been quoted by the producer of the game.
