With people who still disagree with Ched's decision, maybe you should take matters into your own hand,

People used to self police,which Ched encourages, like with elimination. So, maybe a whole bunch of people could mug and hosp a certain cheater until they leave a certain position.

With enough people, this could be a very simple and effective solution, imposed by the players. Your energy can be used as a voice :o)

It's pointless. You will just get a warning like this:

Please stop flaming our helpers in Training.The current 'Trolling' and 'Flaming' rules are pretty vague and it will take a while for helpers to become acclimatised. One of my main tasks will be to look at these rules and change them to be very simple and specific so mistakes cannot happen. Previously some mistakes have been made and helpers have been too hard on the ban hammer - in some cases this was not their fault, it's what they were told to do by admins.I'm sorry if you feel you have been unfairly banned in the past. This is something I hope to work on directly with the staff. For now they have been told to relax their stance and not be so heavy handed.If you repeatedly troll or add unnecessary posts in Bugs & Issues, you may be banned. This place needs to stay clear of any information that is not specifically required.I cannot allow staff to be bullied. This is part of their learning process. They are very eager (perhaps too eager), but they also need to do a lot of training and learn when to take action - in my experience these people eventually make great staff members. Please adjust forum signatures and cease trolling / flaming of them.Please give the new helpers in training time to learn their roles and the correct way to proceed, and forgive their previous mistakes. Also if you have patience, the social rules will be adjusted at some point to make things clearer and reduce the current huge grey area associated with them.Thank you.- Ched

(this was back when i started dissing kate for banning people for basically no reason cos i got banned for 14 days after calling you Dikloren)

I agree on Ched's decision and apparently he has dealt with the issue in his own way, however we have to find this out through a 3rd party yet again.

It wouldn't have hurt to make an official statement about the privacy issue on this thread though.

I don't care about any witchhunt or Stretch in this case, but some official statement after discussions on this thread would have been nice.

A good community manager would certainly be handy in cases like these...
