Sound's credible to me but of course this will depend on DTs decision. I see how @plvbob0070 and @Debonaire217 work on their rank up and many have noticed that they are good poster not just on our local thread but also outside this section. I think many will testify here even DTs.
They are not still excused because they are still on the hot seat and those statements above from them do not explain the credibility of the accounts that it changes hand, it isn't cool to see that they'll just admit it this time after they've been caught.
