I support this, but I have one issue about what events it applies to. I believe that it should apply ONLY to events
sponsored by Muse/BoCA.
The insane amount of negativity, rather than constructive criticism (and this post is in now way constructive, let's be honest. If you want better event standards, you offer to help, not make some toothless populist manifesto) is just...mind-blowing.

If it's having trouble, and you have an issue, offer to help. Cast. Referee. Do...something, instead of pressure that *won't matter* other than cause stress and bad blood.
Please, someone informing players & event organizers about a problem and then spending a long time creating a suggestion of rules to help fix said problems and prevent similar incidents in the future is most certainly constructive criticism. I don't see how it isn't a form of help either.

Now you want to put strict guidelines on how any community-made event must be run.

Like Tentacles points out, this isn't professional, this isn't MLG, there's no prize. Organisers stress the living hell out of themselves in order to set up something they think would be fun for the community.
Even though Cronus Leauge isn't professional, that doesn't mean suggestions & guidelines cannot be offered, does it? No. I don't think so.
Despite my support of this article, I do
not believe it should automatically apply to
ALL community events, I believe that it should
only apply to events sponsored by Muse/BoCA themselves. (Not organized by Muse/BoCA, sponsored.) If someone wants to hold their event without Muse/BoCA sponsoring them, then they
do not need to follow any event guidelines set by Muse/BoCA yet they are still free to use said guidelines.
