    Thanks! I don’t know why a VIP would have this kind of power but that’s exactly the kind of explanation I was looking for because (as usual) a lot of people claim all kind of shit whenever they get a chance and it can be hard to understand what actually happened, glad it’s not as bad as it seemed at first glance! :)

      But that doesn’t make it better. It makes it worse. So there is a VIP who uploads a miner. First the mods defend the VIP and the upload but later have to admit that it’s a miner. Then mods can’t do anything because the admin, the only one who could ban the VIP and uploader is AWOL since who knows; a long time. So effectively the topic is correct, the site is not safe. Uploaders can do what they want and cannot get punished because the few mods left can’t do anything and the admin is missing.

        So the VIP can’t even be banned by a mod? That’s a fucked up system and I can only woder why it worked at all for such a long time!

          That’s at least what the mods claim in defense that the uploader is not banned. But don’t forget, the same mods also said that the upload is “not dirty” until they had to admit it had a miner included.

          I honestly don’t get why this behaviour gets defended here. Only because Empress was quoted? And that quote hasn’t anything to do with this incident.
