I think 50% is going a bit over the top... but at least there's been no permanents.

But I wanted to ask, how did oyu guys (the mods) find out? If you don't want to say, at least say whether or not AH was the person to dob them in....

Hey, can't we give AH an honorary 10% too?
He did start a thread there, after all.
I made one post in the damn thing, telling them to edit their crap...sheesh...but it's ok, cause I like being Prince Charming...in fact, if it can be arranged without me having to be a bad boy, I might just want to stay here. My symbolic Anti-Spam Stand.

Figures Horse would come out smelling like a rose...way to go, Huggy Bear!

Upon further reflection...this seems like a very equitable and fair distribution of punishments...I'm surprised you went to so much trouble to assign different degrees of retribution, in relation to offense.
But if you want to protect your source, you'd better give him at least a cursory slap on the wrist (like me). Otherwise, you've just made him a huge target for accusers...

From what I've heard about who posted how much of what, it doesn't seem quite fair that the horse got off without even a pcr. How did you determine the punishments, and how accurate are my sources on what happened?

Well I mean some people didn't do much except post there. It isn't exactly policy here (as far as I know) to have to report something to the mods right? And it's not like everyone posted porn.

Good job! What idiots for spamming a hidden forum, assuming they'd remain hidden. If AH hadn't told, I would have (I got the info about it a bit before it was actually closed).

I personally don't have a problem with the forum being closed and people getting the penalties they did. I'm just a bit cheesed off at AH - Aussies have a big stigma against dobbing your mates in.

Oh well, they still got their just desserts...

Upon reflection, I see no consistency in the punishments. I've read the whole darn mess from end to other (before it was taken off-line), and Monk had 1 post in there. One post, in which he's telling them to stop. 1. But still he get's punished, and AH, who mad several posts, does not?

Why do you assume I did? The only reason that I'm not engaging on this stuff is that I think the site owners would prefer if I didn't inflame the situation.

Asmodean... you are incorrect. Monk actually had three posts...

The entire forum was looked at, and a lot of thought when into the punishments. Granted, there is no way that everybody will agree on what is fair or not, but that's life.

As far as AH getting off free... HA HA HA HA!
It was felt that all of you would give him so much grief for putting the link in a thread, no additional punishment was really needed. (and contrary to popular belief, he didn't send the information to anybody... I just happened to see it before he went backa and deleted it) And by looking at what has been posted at other sites, it was a good assumption
