Also, if one day everyone on chat fills it with lewd stuff and only one guy reports the truth and everyone lies. Witnesses are only as reliable as their biases.

The chat bot was frankly the best way to log chat for evidence, unless Flightmare was biased himself and doctored the records. But it's gone. You are over-thinking this. We do not need a thick ass layer of red-tape when it comes to banning blatant rule-breakers. Screenshots are needed from those without rights, to report those that break the rules when special rights users are not around. Special rights users, that catch rule-breakers red-handed, ought to ban them outright - there is no objectivity there: you break the rules, you get banned. And if the community does not trust a special rights user to make legitimate bans, then why is the community still allowing for them to have rights? In any case, if a ban ends up being questionable, that is what the forums are for, as to dispute such bans.

As for witnesses, you will notice that is plural. Witnesses are only legitimated when there are numerous trustworthy sources confirming the exact same thing.
