Regarding Fujiwara: I do not agree with suppressing her words on the forum, as while her ban stems from many problematic activities, her CRTs were generally not one of them. This does not mean we ought to encourage someone to essentially cede their account to Fuji, although discussing CRTs and using arguments thought of by her should be perfectly acceptable. It does not circumvent her ban in any significant way. If the forum's more intricate means of picking up on sock accounts detects this account as a sock, then it is a sock and should be banned, simply put. I do not know the full mechanisms of this, and while I do not want to encourage non-contributing, non-staff to weigh in on the subject, if it
is based on IP addresses, then we should consider whether the information is accurate. Fujiwara does not strike me as a liar. Whatever other bullshit was performed, it is at least worth checking. For the record, as a conclusion, I do agree with Fuji's message wall being locked down.
Regarding Shion/Angelicx: I think it is unfair to regard some of the pieces of evidence against Angelicx as straightforward and clean-cut, as Shion also partook in nastiness- while these offenses are incredibly petty (Shion calling Angelicx "champ" so Angelicx calling Shion "son", "womp womp", etc etc), they occurred on both sides in at least some of the instances provided. I will agree with the notion that Angelicx may be considered to have started them, with something of a condescending tone earlier in the threads, but I really don't think these are unnaturally bad instances of behavior. As for the manipulation of the profile, precognition
was accepted and would be fine to add, although the tweaking of the weaknesses section should have had a CRT, messing with key distinctions like that would fall within the bounds of a statistics change- whether self-evident or otherwise, it does need one. I wouldn't call this warning deserving behavior, though- this certainly treads the line in terms of what does and does not require such a CRT.
My conclusion on this case is that Angelicx very much should behave better, and certainly should not be correcting profiles during a match they themselves made- it tends to rub people the wrong way. Matches ought to be closed if such an eventuality does legitimately occur. I do not think a warning is necessary here, although a word of advice for Angelicx to be more mindful of CRT policies is given. As if it needed stating, I also do not think action is necessary in the case of Shion. The two should simply cease being rude before action
is necessary.
You are very kind, Ant. I will still be trying my best to lend a hand.
