I would like to confess that prior to Flex being resuspended, I had typed a paragraph explaining why I was going to preemptively suspend Flex. Then a rogue mod went and did it already. I didn't intend to step down unless I was demodded - all I wanted to do was the right thing. And if Flex should have rightfully won gold, then I think things would have worked themselves out.
The reason I want to say this is because it's a bit sad to see people think the only reason it happened was because someone with nothing to lose did it instead of the mod team actually caring about what was going on. And they did, and I did, and I stand behind the decision I ended up not being able to make as controversial as it almost was. Enjoy the anti-climax.

this is like a spartacus situation, except not noble, just cowardly.

Rutab and Melody quit.
Rutab suspended Flex 1s before round end and thus the round ended with gold going to Zeus.

Jasper unbanned Flex, so Rutab waited until there were 2 seconds of the Round left and then rebanned her.
it's not just going against the admin, to be honest the investigation was drawn out too long and there was just poor communication/rushing today because of it, so everyone is a bit responsible. but hopefully this will be seen as something of a positive ending.
I can confirm Goodbar DID NOT post any inappropriate pictures. It was done by someone else and it was probably just some random picture off the internet anyway...
Regarding the round, I am currently abroad so I have not been able to be very active for the past few days, but having just read through the Hastebins I agree there was cheating going on, even though it seemed as if careful measures were taken to make it seem like it was a coincidence. I believe there were fair arguments from both parties on the mod team, which was why it took a very long time deciding an outcome in order to minimise injustice. Having said that, there should indeed have been better communication in retaining the jurisdiction once it was given out.
In any case, I know I'm not entitled to say anything in my position as of now, but I believe the right thing was done, albeit it being a bit extreme.

5-6 mods wanted to go against the admin's decision. this mod team is faithful.
Actually all of these recent happenings are quite heartening. It is nice to see a great deal of people expressing their genuine concern for this community. I think the mods are dealing with this fairly well and complaining about them is just ****** tbh. Just enjoy playing em.

That was a good paragraph and you're a good mod if you really had already written that, but that paragraph is a lot less hilarious than the way it happened.
