User blog comment:AmazingPythor/Important: Demotion of Veralann/@comment-5510093-20170309232004/@comment-5510093-20170309235107

I don't think anyone of us have made it seem like we 100% thought Hype would do this. His comments simply gave us a reason to believe it was a possibility, and that was enough for us to follow through with the demotion. I do agree that the original post feels overly severe in an attempt to look professional - I don't want to toss anyone under the bus but I had no part in writing that and didn't have an opportunity to see it before it was posted.

I'll be honest, this demotion was not given the same treatment as others in the past due mostly to the fact that Hype was not currently an admin when we began and the whole case was a calculated preventative measure rather than how it usually goes. You can't do a three strike method here like I saw you talking about below, either we let him on and he's able to do his thing, or we demote him. As soon as we allow it to happen, it's too late. And any kind of evidence we have, we're going to take that ridiculously seriously, because it's not us that could be hurt by this, it's not even just people here in this discussion, it's all kinds of people.
