Do you actually think that we go and make things up?
Members were caught actively disseminating information to other members. The hows and what don't matter. We caught them.
I don't need to give you the details of how it went down.
Here's the thing, and take it for what it's worth - I don't cause many problems around here.
It's one thing when the usual suspects get banned, but this one involved a permaban on a member who is generally well liked, had been here a long time, and didn't cause many problems herself (Moshquerade). Mosh and I weren't really friends here, either, just to set that straight.
You don't "need to give" the details of "how it went down" but in this specific instance, that would be a pretty decent courtesy to the regulars here. For those of us that have been here for half, or all, of a decade, since the beginning, whatever, it would be the right thing to do.
That, of course, is only my opinion. It's up to this forum's administrators to decide what's owed or not owed to its members that have been around since the beginning, or damn close to it.
In the end, its just an internet forum, but someone with a long, mostly positive, history did just get tossed.
