Ok guys, this is being locked now. The member has left and stated they will not be returning (so i have been informed) so there is no need for this topic to become a ground for trading blows, or the "he said, she said" game that's undoubtedly going to transcend over other forums on the internet. This is what we are working to move away from, and everyone is free to choose to post or not to post here at the Shenmue Dojo.
Accounts of an active member are not deleted (or at least will not be unless Yama decides otherwise), usually due to the majority of requests for the deletion of an account being made when the person isnt in a rational state of mind to sincerely mean what they are asking (99% usually after an argument). This users account will remain, should they choose to log in again in the future.
Rest assured that the changes haven't stopped with a couple of sub forums being collapsed, members being unbanned and also a few changes to the moderation system. There are more to come very soon, including what has been brought up here regarding the security questions etc. But of course, any other issues that you find, please do not hesitate to raise them in the "Shenmue Dojo Website Discussion" forum, or just drop us a PM for us to raise in the Staff Forum.
One more thing, everyone be aware that alternate accounts made are serious breaches of the TOS, and will be dealt with heavily and without hesitation. There are no exceptions, and no separate rules for any current or ex member who decides to mess about, "experiment", or think they will not get discovered. We regularly check IP addresses, look for correlations and trends in new members info, and also correlations in new members ISPs. Even failing that, user accounts always belong to the person making the posts, and they forget that their personality never changes so as time goes on, again, you will be found out and dealt with.
Now...we are moving on. Lets try and use this point to look back upon, and remember that you have to know where you have came from, to know where you are going. Here at the Dojo, we are moving onward and upward, into a new era, and absolutely everyone is welcome to take part!
