I thought Tom came up with the new policy a few days after the bannination happened.
All AFAIK:
That policy originated months ago. I know, because when I joined I had to e-mail Tom to get vetted. There’s no doubt in my mind that Ebonstone had to do the same.
You’re right that it happened a few days after a banning…the trouble is, that banning was Derek Smart’s. :)
Nice alliteration.
