Since you're answering a few questions, what led you to believe that a community permanent ban for all players involved instead of going on a case by case basis was the correct decision to make? Additionally, with evidence not being presented due to fears of harassment of the people involved be proving that this ban wave didnt do anything to solve the harassment problem? Finally, my last question is why not just censor the withheld evidence like the presented screenshots? It seems counter intuitive to withhold potential evidence for such an extreme punishment.

I'll try to answer these the best I can (sorry have a headache from work).

For the first question, I do not really know. As I said, my head was not in the game with this fully seeing that this was more of a TTT problem then a PH problem and I figured that the TTT staff would know how to handle TTT problems. This I would believe would be the case if the roles were reversed and a big PH problem appeared with maybe a couple of TTT ties as the PH admins would probably know how to handle the PH problem better than the TTT admins.

From some of the evidence we did see, the people being harassed did ask them to stop at the very least, some on multiple occasions. On the couple of cases where mob mentality was evident, it looked the person(s) tried to hide making the mob thing end as fast as possible or deflect as much as possible, if not leave the area altogether.

Due to what was said in the evidence, censoring names and pfp would have done nothing in protecting the individual with that evidence. The people would easily know the person on what was said. It could have been additionally censored I suppose but said proof would have looked absolutely useless to the community in the thread if it was included. Also some of those that were harassed that the proof not be made public for those very reasons.

As I have now looked into this whole thing more seriously, as I should have the first time (again I am sorry for this). I find that even though severe at least a couple of the punishments are for sure justified, some show nothing additional, and some are up for more debate. Some of things have been allowed to go on for too long and should have been resolved long before it got to this point.
