And, I remember gettng site mail about a member who was being "forced out" or some such notion because of a supposed "ripped" image being used..innocence claimed and some thought the member was being unjustly abused or driven away...

You see, that sort of thing is the results of talk and suspicions..as for me with no way to know the truth of the matter.  Yes, I put my trust in the integrity of the forum staff in these issues.

Keeping threads about such issues as discussed here? I would go with a "reported and proven incident warning to others" perhaps, simply because we have seen too many threads which zoomed totally out of hand with accusations and digression in all directions, serving little meaninful purpose but nasty venting...not a meaningful thread when that happens but only disgusting.  And here..I am guilty of digression from the point.

'nuff said from me here..I have no real knowledge of behind the scenes and don't need it when it is someone else's dirty laundry.
