I read the explanation, and frankly found the inference, intentional or otherwise, that Danny had his 'power' removed because of the recent security breach, every bit as offensive as his 'banning/Admin removal'.

Is this suggesting that 'he' may have been the cause? Or simply that his account may have been exploited?

If as I'd assume, it is the latter, then simply changing his password, and that of any other SuperAdmin would have served perfectly well, along with an email sent to them explaining why.

From the perspective of the casual observer it looks very much to me like it was seen as an opportunity to 'take' autonomous control of the website.

You'd do well to remember that your position on here is granted in order for you to provide a service to the CDPL community, and not to 'own' anything.

You are the sites caretaker, the minute you appear to be moving that status to one of 'ownership', then you are clearly overstepping the mark.

IMO anyway.

On the topic of 'relaxed'. Again, in my opinion, it isn't down to you to decide how people conduct themselves on here, it is a website that belongs to a community of pool players, and things will get a bit fruity from time to time. So what? That is the essence of the site, kill it off and the site will become stale and lifeless.

Christ, myself and Danny actually used to TRY and cause trouble on here from time to time, just to stoke things up.

More to the point, if the users at large think that any individual is going over the top, then THEY can decide, and collectively tell you to do something about it.

Anyways, blah, said enough.
