No, the mental stability stuff is really the problem there. Giga's right, they're not tied into the cheating. If you think someone is cheating, say something.
Rereading that paragraph, I can see how it'd be easily misinterpreted to make you think I bunched them all together as not okay. Independently, accusing someone of cheating is fine and is a public service - but insulting someone while doing that is not.
there's a difference between accusing someone of cheating and following them around everywhere calling them cheaters (what pranay was doing to that poor child)

Bront is arguing that he wasn't threatening harassment vios for cheating accusations despite having said the following in his PM to the people lolwot mass-reported:
It's pretty awful when you can't even read the forums without someone saying "you're having a meltdown", "Having gone off the deep end", a "ticking time bomb" or being accused of cheating, as well as any other snide remark or commentary that has been made. It's really poor behavior and I myself don't understand why some of you need to go out of your way to say these sorts of things to and about people in a public forum. It's really not hard to be cordial to people you don't like or just avoid them.
That's going to be the point of this message. If you all cannot get along, then I am going to lay this down - do not talk to lolwot, do not talk about lolwot, just leave her alone.
This suggests that cheating accusations, as long as they are directed at lolwot or at a similarly protected user, are on par with the other supposed forms of harassment.
Yeah but saying someone has 'gone off the deep end', or saying that someone was always 'a ticking time bomb' doesn't really have anything to do with cheating at all. Those comments are unnecessary during cheating accusations.

I just don't understand how accusations of cheating means harassment in any way... how else do the mods know who to investigate for cheating? Don't they also accuse people of cheating in a way?
