The only thing in my opinion that is led to this development is the fact that RegulusHR is become a merit source just a day before he got ban, and admin is notice that for sure. RegulusHR should definitely be given a second chance, nothing more or less than what others have been given.
Nope, he was a merit source for a while before the ban. We just did not know about it because he did not tell anybody he was.
He admitted it when somebody asked him and that was a few days before the ban so you probably connected these 2 things.
I've said my piece about this topic so I won't be dragged back into it again. North Korea has fairer politics than Bitcointalk.
