Regarding Lukan's screenshot message on Carlo's character.
The
forum rules say

1. Personal Attacks
Remember the Golden Rule: do to others what you would like to be done to you. Trolling, flaming, bashing, or otherwise verbally attacking anyone is not allowed. When writing about a move that a member made, ensure all criticism is directed towards the member's move rather than the member. Also, please consider that not every member in the forums is a native English speaker as you write your post.
Does that post fall foul of this rule? I don't know, but I seem to recall we have removed milder personal criticisms. That post was reported to the mods, and also became pending approval (I'm not sure exactly how this works, sometimes (but not always) posts from new users are hidden until a mod approves them as an anti-spam measure, maybe being reported made it pending approval to show again). I messaged the author, saying that given the nature of the post I thought he/she should identify themselves so people can better judge if it is a credible witness or just some troll out for character assassination. They preferred to remain anonymous, so were okay with removing the message (or rather now, not approving it).
If this were a legal case, would this be "inadmissible evidence"? Should the moderators suppress it? I suppose lots of people have seen it now so the point is moot, but I hope this clarifies the situation.
