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.
