Can someone give me the rundown?
A very quick version...
When I was there in 2009, there was a major incident.
Leading up to that though, the mods / admin at the time, were very unhappy at the tolerance - boardering of encouragement - of racism. There were many scraps about it in the mod thread, because when we tried to moderate it, we were invariably overruled by Wilderbeest (I_Am) Sean, and Krakhead.
Along with that, as a new mod, I was vocal about what I personally perceived to be a lack of even-handedness in who was moderated against, and therefore, spent quite a bit of time head-butting with Wilderbeest.
Till one day, she responded to a perfectly reasonable comment I made, with, "Shove it up your arse", and she changed her status to Senior Member.
As a result, I received communications from Daisy (Sean) trying to get me to nicely resign, which I did not comply with. I actually didn't wish to be there, but was urged by other mods / admin to stand my ground.
There was plenty more going on in the background.
It was as a result of this situation, that one of the mods caught Sean reading my PM's - presumably hunting for some excuse to sack me - he couldn't do so easily, due to the other mods etc not backing him up.
Then Sean changed my status to member without warning.
STRT (the mod who caught him) challenged Sean in the mod thread re the PM reading, after my departure.
He pretended to be deeply indignant and emphatically denied the accusation.
So then STRT posted on the mod thread, the screen grab he'd taken, proving absolutely that he was guilty as charged.
He changed his tac to, as web master, he could do as he liked, and amended the forum guidelines to include his right to read PM's.
There was a big battle, with some mods & admin leaving in disgust, and others being banned for dissent.
Some of this conversation was also screen-grabbed, and posted, along with the information about our objection to the racism deal on other forums.
Sean had us banned, yet our statuses showed that we were all still active members.
At the disappearance of most of the mods & admin, members started questioning what was going on. They were banned as a result.
Sean has since claimed, initially, that 'we' hospitalised a remaining admin member via a psychic attack.
More recently, it was brought to my attention that in his bull-shit lying defence when a later spurt of PM reading was underway, he claimed that it was me personally who had psychically attacked the admin (Krakhead) and put him in a life-threatening position. Needless to say, this was pure fabrication on his part, and the fact that some people swallowed it makes me feel pysically sick.
