So you never had anything to go on, but an anonymous tip[1]?
I'm not sure you could call it anonymous - Shadow_Runner - hero member almost two years old with 6,000 posts.
He sent me multiple PMs - it wasn't just "Here is QS's address".
I'd like to hold off on discussing it anymore until we find out if it really IS Quickscammer or not. I have not received an email reply yet. I obviously can't believe QS when he says it's not him - he said he wasn't Panthers52 as well.
It's either going to come down to he was spending his entire workday on this forum, or he never visited this site at all. Corporate proxy logs will be the judge and jury - not his supervisors. The wrong person will not get in trouble.
So Shadow_Runner just sent you some random info and you just ran with it no questions asked? And why would age, rank or number of posts matter? According to his feedback the account was purchased, not to mention the extortion attempts and his clear dislike of QS. And you can't say for certain that the guy wont get into trouble. I don't think it would look good for any employee if their employer received random info that their staff were up to no good regardless of whether there is any truth to it.
