The threads normally get deleted or at least closed, I dont know what you are talking about. Scamming accusations are to be taken up in private with a staff member.

While conflict of interest is possible, what the mods do is alway known by other staff members. If Dan abused his powers it would have come up. A private inquiry with an admin is the appropriate way to go with an accusation like that.

Im sure i will see this post deleted just as they were from other members but wanted to bring this to someones attention.

Statements such as this really do no one any good.

I don't know why everyone wants to be the town announcer here. Private channels are often the best way to go with a serious accusation or concern.
