Mod Log

<h2>Mod Log moved to Chealion's Journal</h2>


In the interest of keeping people up to date as to what moderating is happening, we've opened this thread here to keep tabs on what moderating is being done. So feel free to post feedback on it, but when something happens we'll throw it into a little log here with reasoning why if it warrants it. (Examples of those that don't: Double/Duplicate posts as the reason for deletion is rather simple, a post was posted twice instead of the intended once).

Due to a request, any moderation I do for sure will be placed in here regardless of whether I left a note or posted in the thread about it.
