I'll try to explain the Blizer situation one last time. So I got back home one night and found WT's fairly old post reported with report reasons saying that WT was lying, that the post was misleading, etc etc.

So I go into the comments section, found Blizer's comment saying how WT's article wasn't true. The title of WT's article said that Blizer was kicked off of MYM completely. Not just benched, but just kicked off. At first I asked WT if he could prove it and then I also asked Blizer as well. After Blizer put me into contact with MYM's general manager, the manager showed me skype logs and assured me that Blizer wasn't kicked off the team. At the very least, he was still officially a sub which would mean that he'd still be on the team.

After that skype chat, I asked WT if he wanted to disprove Blizer/MYM and he said he didn't. So I removed the post because I felt like his article really was misleading since Blizer would still have been on the team. It wasn't an ultimatum of "show me proof or your post is going to get deleted".

It really was my mistake though for asking for proof in the first place and I already learned from that mistake. People bring up the Blizer thing, but that was months ago and I wasn't involved in anything close to asking a journalist for proof since then. That's just how modding is though. People only really recognize you for your mistakes and no one really cares if you aren't making mistakes.

If you want to implement some kind of 1 strike rule with mods, that's how you end up with a mod team that'll never interact with the community or explain themselves. The whole point of me being transparent was so that people would eventually understand that there's an explanation for all the removals and that it isn't as black and white as they think it is.

Welp, this was a super long comment. Sorry in advance, but I'll be signing off reddit for the night so I most likely won't be replying back quickly.
