Recently, it was brought to the attention of the Head Office that there was reason to be suspicious of Er.
On November 16th a post made by Yoloswag420 (Luechly) stating that he uses a VPN was deleted. We could not find motive on why this post was deleted, however, after checking the moderator logs and noticing that Er had only 5 total actions at the time, all of which on the 17th and afterwards, we decided to verify and he had deleted his own logs.
-------------------------------------------
We received confirmation via admin logs [pictured below] that he had emptied his logs several times. We couldn't find motive for this either, but we do believe that during a time of active investigation on yoloswag420 that deleting anything related to his history, as well as erasing your own moderator logs is a punishable offense that we want to make clear will not be tolerated as leniently in the future.
-----------------------------------------------
After extensive speculation and investigation, we have concluded that we lack suitable evidence to prove anything other than Er deleted moderation logs. Technically we can’t even prove they were his own, however, it is safe to assume so. We also lack any evidence that he had deleted Luechly’s post, as we can’t read trashed mod logs, as per jcink support team. Furthermore, even if we did have evidence that he had deleted the post, as far as we can tell it was inconsequential and irrelevant to the investigation.
----------------------------------------------------
After some deliberation as to which action would be most fitting in this case, we have decided to temporarily restrict Er from taking over as Owner. For the duration of season 5 Dermot will be given Root Admin (owner) designation and assuming Er maintains a clean record from now until the conclusion of season 5, he will then be given the choice to take over as owner of the site. We hope you'll agree with our decision as Er has such an outstanding track record of work ethic and desire to see the league succeed, we'd like to empower him to make a positive impact while making it known that any abuse of power will not be tolerated, with or without motive.

We appreciate everyone’s continued desire to make this league as fair a place as possible and if you have any questions or concerns regarding our results, feel free to let us know.
