Your going to get a different answer for followup #1 from everyone you ask, because we all had our own opinions. And believe me, I wanted to asked the accused, but hey when your out numbered by the "we have to protect the victims" crowd (of which one resigned after it was revealed the main victim lied to us. (Who also resigned around that same time))

As for follow up #2, actually unsure on this, since it was two admins that brought it up initally in March, then it was handled in March and re-ignited by one of those two admins in April when theu resigned. I am not sure if the that person came to us after that happened or if we went to them.

As for the referenced miscommunitcation, that is a totally different person that was asked by an admin about a message they posted in a private discord about bring it to the admin team. The misconnunication was not mentioning it was going to be used as evidence for a ban.

I'm sorry but all that I have seen here so far are excuses for what transpired. This is precisely why the "we have to protect the victims" mentality does not work in a he said/she said/we said/they said situation. Not only have the two individuals named in this post have had their reputation torn to shreds by members in this community because the admins in question failed to investigate the situation to the full extent, but even their friends have been harassed and branded as a bad person just for associating with them. 

The scenario has happened where the "victim" in question started a full-blown witch hunt that went on months on end because they and their group did not like a specific individual/group within the community. Numerous people who associated with these members were not only harassed and had their character ripped apart and questioned by the "victim"s friend group, but by the admins within this community as well. This went as far as the admins here reaching out to the Gmod community that the group members had left Dinks for to not only harass them and have an attempt to destroy their character outside of Dinks, but as well as attempted to have them removed from said community.  

So far no one has reached out to anyone to offer any sort of apology or admit fault in a situation that could of been avoided if any of the admins had properly investigated the claims given by the "victim" in question. It took the accused numerous times of reaching out to an admin before anyone would hear their side of the situation but even then that fell on deaf ears because the admins who were friends with said "victim" refused to hear the other side of the situation. It took weeks before anyone would properly hear the side of the story of the accused, but even then nothing was immediately done due to the bias on the admin team.

As for the "I wanted to asked the accused, but hey when your out numbered by the "we have to protect the victims" crowd" is just a plain excuse. You hold the position of an admin, this community is suppose to be able to trust that you are capable of holding and defending a different view  without getting bulldozed by the louder admins on the team. So far all I have seen here is that majority of the admin team here is unable to hold their own opinion without being influenced by biased judgement.

As far as I am aware the myraid reached out to us, not the other way around.

Additionally, no one has brought forward any claims of harassment, and if they do now that you have made this claim I expect evidence.
