Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

I'm sure that any ninja who saw a blatant ToS violation in a group they were in (links to illegal material, blatantly NSFW posts, etc) would say something to the group admin so as not to risk the group getting nuked by Achronos. I feel like that would be the professional thing to do.
That said, there have been several instances of ninjas not doing this, so I guess "professional" means different things to some of them.No personal experience of my own, but if I got a solid impression that group administration was aware, sanctioning, complicit or at least turning a blind eye to such activity, I wouldn't consider them in need of my professional courtesy.So would you go ahead and report them, or just let them be?
I would think that if you decided not to warn the group admin, you'd just go straight to reporting them, yes?
What I'm trying to say is: would you consider it part of your job to take action regarding behaviour that's against the ToS in private groups, even though you're not really a ninja in them?
If I was a member of a group and witnessed serious violations of the membership agreement taking place, and my observations were that the group administration was complicit or at least aware but not taking any steps to curtail that activity, I would simply report it to the Web Admin team as a concerned member of this site. My being a ninja on the public forums has very little to do with such a situation other than the fact that I may be more aware of the ToU, CoC and membership agreement and more concerned with the fact that if members violate it, that it places our HOSTS at risk.
The inappropriate use of a group, that is the responsibility of the group admin. If they don't know, don't care, or encourage it, it is they who have failed, they don't need (or deserve) any sort of "heads up to clean up" from someone who just joined their group. If/when I join a group, my status as a ninja on the main forums is "left at the door". I have no authority, no power, no obligations other than the ones that I chose to accept when I became a member of this site.
