It's stupid that CivIV is so harsh with that kind of misclick. I say let them reload.

If someone could post our team's outcome in the game tracking thread by... say... seven hours from this post, that would be great. I'll be at work. 
I'm a bit surprised by their attitudes, though then again maybe it's because I didn't know all their players so well, and always some individual players speak more rashly than a team would. There's always possible misunderstanding and they are probably legitimately frustrated.
I see that we did not specifically report our results in favor, but Dave has already ruled/acted on the issue. Anyway, the best thing to hope for is that something like this doesn't happen again, certainly not come wartime or anything like that. If discussion comes up on the main forum about what "future" situations regarding reloads my be, I might personally give my thoughts on what's fair regarding things like war and affecting other teams' moves. I really would rather not this be a game of arguing over minor things and unfortunately as the game goes on reloads become more serious/upset more things, so again hoping such problems just don't come up again.
If we wanted to draft our own ideas or proposal for a rule amendment I'd not be opposed to that either - again, it looks like discussion on this will continue and others are proposing their own "amendments" which I'm not sure I or our team would agree on, dunno.

Eh any list anyone creates is going to be the subject of "Well, what about x and y? Is z really worthy of a reload?" When you add x and y and take out z, they will say "What about a and b? Is c really necessary?"
Forever.
I think reloads should just be asked for and ruled upon as a case-by-case basis. We're 50 something turns into the game and only one reload request has been brought up. There'll likely be not too many more.

Well, there's already another thread, other folks can't help but debate this I guess.
I actually rather favor the second "proposed rule" listed in the OP of that thread. I really think discretion is necessary but it lists the major points I'd like. Perhaps I'd include on other rider on impact on other teams - a reload can't be called for at all if replaying the turn has significant adverse results on what another team did (eg. combat results between a second and third team).
