Your explanation is a Valid one Foman, and in the situation of Pezz's account, yes this person is going to get more representation if his actions were put up on display by an official Microsoft gaming company.
The community wasn't that effected. Yes some threads were deleted, (I don't know if they we restored yet) but its not going to make the community self destruct. If anything it makes the community stronger. Maybe some members have learned that they will be swiftly dealt with once they cause any trouble in the forums, big or small.
I don't think this 'hacker's doings being displayed would cause more inappropriate behavior from other members. The mods are most likely upping their security and vigilance for these kinds of things, making sure nothing like this will happen so dramatically again. Because all that really happened was some dramatic hype about the situation. I think most the members panicking made it crazy.
I really just want the community to realize how far they have come from the original creation of B.net, and the way we have effected it, both positively and negatively. If we only include positive things in the time line, we are making a false time line!
We shouldn't let this 'incident' make us forget all the great things we have done to make B.net what it is today.
