Quoting for emphasis.
THIS is what causes the whole uproar to begin with. I know at this point we're never going to get an explanation as to why Tallulas thread was locked and why the Wall of Shame was closed, but a simple explanation as to how those posts violated GC rules would have been helpful because if people continued to carry on there would at least be basis for all the deletions/locking.
