Let's start with the facts:

Let us start with this announcement. Currently, I am in favor of this 100%. I would find satisfaction in seeing it executed. However, it could not help but spur up more in depth ideas. Fiore, technically and textually, has no laws. How do I know this? Well, how do you know it does? There's nothing ICly or OOCly stating that you can't do what people do to criminalize them. - But I'll shed some light, helpful staff members (Anastasia) have informed me that the laws of Fiore are assumed to be one of a structured society.
Let me emphasize on that. Laws in a structured society include the dismissal of killing, violence, and other basic laws, like those. However, these are too broad. Way too broad. A structured society includes all of these basic laws, but under the statement that it's assumed, it's too broad. Meaning that it applies to everyone in every way, but never goes in on it. If we assume it, we have to make it broad so it's universally agreeable. If it wasn't broad, then laws could be manipulated by the community to their favor, and essentially could destroy the country on an OOC and IC stance.
"Meaning that it applies to everyone in every way, but never goes in on it."
This statement is true, but it also means that some guilds are wrongfully taken as dark. I'm confused, really.. legal wizards and guilds kill outside of jobs quite frequently. But yet they get a free pass and a high five. But sudden another wizard goes to do it, and they're criminalized and detained. Again, I'm confused. Did the legal wizard or guild not commit the same crime? Since they did, why is wizard B getting the hate for it? Am I missing something?
This topic about laws leads back to the Fairy Tail topic, why are they being turned to a dark guild? There's not a law specifically stating that legal guilds can't claim Coming Storms, and if so, why is the Coming Storm's punishments being ignored and suddenly it's falling upon the entire guild? In character, if the Magic Council has recognized the fact there's a wanted wizard in a legal guild, wouldn't it make more sense for the RK coming over to Fairy Tail to arrest the CS and deal with Fairy Tail without making them dark? Don't get me wrong, I completely agree with staff, and the FT Guildmaster is given a reasonable amount of time to change, but from another perspective, it makes no sense.
Okay, so what about the Magic Council?

Let me put this into perspective, the Rune Knights are stationed at every town and village, whether it be heavily or lightly. So they'd know what's going on around them. But somehow, Savage Skull raids Shirotsume and murder it's townspeople, and even though the RK would report this to the MC (And no, they were not 'sneaky', it was OBVIOUS that Savage Skull went out and murdered the people of Shirotsume. Shirotsume is NOT an inactive town, Rune Knights would be there). But somehow, they aren't facing any charges?
"But they don't know where SS is, Isaac."

I shit you not, a guild event had clearly stated that the Rune Knights knew where the Savage Skull hall was, and although failing to apprehend them, why isn't the Magic Council sending out orders to take down Savage Skull?............... Lemme quote this.
"Thank Shikamaru, Ma'am. He got all the information we needed. I'm genuinely surprised, though, that the Savage Skull leader did not notice that there was a rat in her guild all along, since the very second she got on the throne. I guess the rumors are right, the guild may be falling apart, at last. Hence why, we must act."
If I'm not reading wrong, the Rune Knights and Magic Council knew of Savage Skull's doings and whereabouts.
"It is only one or two Knights, Isaac. -_-"
"The ever-lasting silence around Savage Skull was for once interrupted, as hundreds of Rune Knights headed towards the grand Guild Hall, willing to burn the place down once and for all. Meanwhile, the Brigadier General allowed the Colonel to follow his troops and she remained on the hill, watching the scene from afar. She wouldn't stay away for too much. She just wanted the little blondie and her pets to appear, so she could get in action."
The Magic Council knows where SS is, and the Rune Knights as well. But point is that even knowing the whereabouts of an obviously eviller guild than Fairy Tail, who had mass murdered towns and destroyed hundreds of legal personnel, is getting the sudden okay while Fairy Tail is being stupidly changed to a dark guild when the Coming Storm itself can be removed from Fairy Tail by legal authorities, keeping Fairy Tail legal but also suffering other punishments.
So, put the facts together, Magic Council is on the Dark Guilds' favor. I mean, they have this information, but refuse to act on it. There is NO reason for the Magic Council to not apprehend such an obvious, rightfully infamous guild without prioritizing their existence.
Why should the MC be open to the playerbase?:
For the exact reasons above. No one can tell me I am overthinking this, because these are basic things that should be thought about.
