While I'd agree with this in general, there might be circumstances where 
a "direct party" doesn't feel comfortable making a complaint in person 
(newcomers in particular might feel too overawed or too embarrassed to 
make a complaint themself), but might be willing to allow somebody else 
to make a complaint on their behalf... as long as they have given 
permission (that can be proven, such as an email) for a 3rd party to do 
so, I don't see why that shouldn't be permitted.

Of course, there's nothing to stop a 3rd part from calling somebody out 
if the original alleged offence is public, and I'd hope that other 
members of the community would do so if the situation warranted.
