One thing I would be concerned about with that is the lack of transparency. I don't think things should be handled in as public a way as a forum but some level of disclosure should happen.

Transparency vs privacy for the accused. If the information is released beyond the Administration staff then the accused is tried in the courts of public opinion. Not only that but the accuser's privacy must be preserved. I wouldn't want the whole organization to know what I had to go up the line that I was being made uncomfortable about. It was a private matter that didn't concern work but being heckled over it was really upsetting me. There is a need to protect both the accused and the accuser until such a point that the status of the accusations can be determined. If an admin was being accused of harassing other users for whatever reason and in the end it turns out that yes, he was, then there needs to be some form of public acknowledgement the incident. Furthermore, there needs to be, on some level, a way to acknowledge and show that some form of action has been taken as a result.
