I think we have to accept the idea there is now a new team at the head of SwC (the company has been sold ?) Their communication has changed drastically over the past several weeks. They used to intervene succinctly in topics and always in a thoughtful way. They also didn't hesitate to censor off-topic or redundant posts. The last pages of this topic show something completely new and bordering on incompetence.
Regarding the Higherhighs case: it would be good if he could stop constantly justifying himself and be less talkative in the chat (that will at least prevent him from talking nonsense endlessly). A person in charge of enforcing a rule should not have to justify his position, it is totally counterproductive.
