The extortion attempt was made for "good intent"
..
A very bad attempt to play law enforcement by themselves indeed

I've seen several threads about this, but didn't follow it in full detail. I was shocked to see the extortion attempt by Lauda, and from what I've seen from her (him?), I do believe it was out of good intent.
I also believe Lauda overplayed her hand, she did a great job fighting spam on this forum, so I'm sorry to see her lose her nuke-button.

I agree with all of this. Lauda fights for what she believes is right and I believe she thought this plan of action to be a good idea at the time. If her intention had not been for the greater good, she would not have told others of her plan beforehand. It's just a shame nobody was able to point out to her in time that it was actually a really really bad idea. But who of us hasn't had a really crap idea about how to do the right thing at some point in our lives, especially when really worked up about a perceived injustice.

With no disrespect towards the other staff members who work hard around here, this forum is really going to go down the toilet fast without Lauda keeping spammers and account sales in check.
