If that is the case then yes, Alemas probably should have been more thorough in explaining the situation, and I will discuss the matter with him next time I see him to clarify the situation. I will be sure to converse with Melt as well. However, this does not in and of itself render the demotion unjustified or "invalid," as you say. It must be noted that there is only a certain amount of time we could have delayed adding Hype to the admin site before some kind of suspicion ensues, and although yes Alemas could have done a better job explaining the situation to Melt, we did not have "all the time in the world" to make such a decision, nor do I consider this "the poorer outcome" and instead consider it necessary to protect sensitive information (though again it's reasonable to say that communication with Melt should have been more thorough).
