exit policy.

Before you shut it down completely, I recommend going middleman.
Assuming harassment is complaint-driven, it will cease instantly
(allow 2-3 months for running cases to complete, depending on
how busy the mounties are).

What did it for me, is allegations of pedophilia trafficking.
Had no particular incentives to be burned at that particular stake.
(Of course, assuming you want to get rid of somebody, that's
just the right accusations to make).
