Thank you all for your feedback. Unlike several other communities, we listen to our people. I have listened to what you have to say, come to my senses, removed the offending thread, and banned the offending user. I'm not sure how long it will be before something, if anything, happens, but we will take that as it comes. As stated before, this was solely my decision and I take full accountability for it. Arnox was 100% against this decision, but he respected my wishes and allowed me to carry out this action.
I apologize for making a mockery of everything that we stand for. I allowed complacency to cloud my judgment and made a poor decision that really effected this site and the community. I hope I have not caused any irrepairable damage to the community. I was going to renounce my own modship, but I would like to see this through to the end if you all will have me. I will not quit on you if you don't quit on me.
Again, the decision to negotiate with a terrorist was the decision of my own and in no way reflects the overall opinion and vision of the site or of Arnox. The Sanctuary has zero tolerance for any and all attacks against it, and especially against the posting of illegalities such as CP. I hope we can regain your trust, and that you can continue enjoying The Sanctuary.
All site rules still apply. Please do not allow my previous actions to represent precedent. All rules will be upheld and proper action will be taken accordingly. The Sanctuary will not be bullied into submission, and we will not promote something we do not believe.
Thank you again for all your honesty and feedback. I admit I am not always right (probably quite the contrary), and I am proud of you all for standing up.
