OR...the alleged victim could just pony up their copy-pasted excerpts of past dialogue and cut out the middle-men.
So, will everyone be given an internet lawyer or...is that just for 'special cases' or....*laugh*
How long will this 'process' take?
I don't need 'representation'. Let's talk hypotheticals: If I had an issue, serious enough to warrant moderator intervention (can I be honest)? I am absolutely not willing to put up with you people -- alongside my bootleg a--s defense attorney trying to 'remake the freakin' wheel' -- and this bureaucratic mumbo-jumbo ....
*shrug*
Unless Destee's planning to throw down some attorney fees? Cool.
...and, in that case, I hum-bly submit my username, Mimi-Belle, for consideration to a slot on the esteemed Destee.com Community Counc-il Legal Defense Team.

Anyway - you're example:
Honestly, bullying and abuse? This isn't an issue that needs to be touched by a forum moderating team on the internet. Sorry. Block the person. If the individual feels 'in danger', like... the person knows where she lives and is making threats? Tell her to get all forum records and direct her to the local police.
If the alleged victim is speaking to the alleged offender in a normal and non-aggressive manner, the mods should encourage the victim to sever contact/ignore. If the individual chooses to engage the person?
Fine - but they wouldn't be whining and crying about being bullied (TO ME) when they're practically courting the behavior.
On the other hand... the victim could just be 'backing the person off', so to speak? Getting the offender to socialize and converse. Chill out. When you don't know how to deal with people who are abrasive and highly inappropriate, you might try to level with them in that way. Especially if ignoring the person doesn't work.
So long as the word volley wasn't teasingly sexual on the part of the alleged victim, I'm willing to accept that explanation.
We're not the same. We all handle things differently. Just because you're trying to level with a jerk doesn't mean that you actually want or accept their treatment of you.

Only way to make heads or tails of your example? To understand the nature of the comments and, perhaps, a record of pm discussions, if available. Although, if other posters (plural) take notice of what's said, call it 'harrassment' (enough to say something about it and single out one poster as the aggressor)...then it's pretty obvious that the victim isn't 'just making things up'.
...and you really aren't allowed to take 'a hands off' approach at that point. You're aware. That makes it your business and your responsibility... to do something. The end.
*shrug*
ANYWHO--
How do I envision this thing working? Not sure. To me, it's just a 'something' that takes the strain off the site owner. Makes sense to me. Some tasks should be delegated.
