I'm guessing MJ doesn't like handing out penalties since it can scare away some racers though its mostly newcomers who quit.
That's a debatable way of approaching the issue. I've been a mod/admin at both RRL, which was a small community like yours, with 20-ish people showing up at the races, and ACRL, which has a huge user base (last Sunday we had over 90 people racing in GT3 split in 3 different servers in EU, and 50 more in NA). If I've learnt anything from my experience, it's that smaller communities like this better focus on the quality of the drivers rather than the quantity. If penalising a driver for having done something wrong will make him quit the community, trust me, you don't need him and you'll be better off without him.
I've joined the Porsche GT3 Cup you're running just because I know you have clean drivers who always respect each other. That's the only reason why I showed up to these (not all, due to my bad schedule!) races. If you start accepting wreckers and allowing them to ruin your races because you don't want to lose drivers, you'll end up doing the opposite and scaring away drivers who'd rather drive with less people but in a clean race.
While keeping polite tones and not offending each other (i.e. "I really think the move you made was unsportsmanlike" instead of "you very naughty person") it's only beneficial to discuss incidents in public. You'll reinforce the focus on driving cleanly, those drivers who made genuine mistakes will be reprimanded and they'll learn from their mistakes, while those drivers who obviously won't fit with your racing principles will be more easily spotted so everyone will know which guys to avoid on track (I knew nsfw is a very aggressive driver, so I just let him pass and waited for him to crash into someone, which did happen).
This community strikes me as mature and intelligent, I'm sure you'll be able to discuss incidents without throwing insults at each other. You should see the cancer in the comments section at ACRL.
