Beskar also corrected himself about his previous perceptions earlier in this thread, so the post of his you quoted is not accurate. (-edit- post directed towards Sarmation, I started writing before SFTS replied)
Anyway, congrats again Strike.

Re: 10 years
That post was done a couple of years back, but some elements are correct. As I said earlier on which Kagemusha quoted, the Org used to be a lot stricter place and it was through a period of transition due to the unfortunate departure of TosaInu. Kagemusha is also correct in reply that it wasn't solely the rules themselves but the personal behind its enforcement occurring at different standards which led to issues in itself as well.
On of the consequences of the event, the Org experienced a liberalisation in the standards of the moderation. This is something which some members welcomed, whilst others have been critical of. So instead of moderation being more pro-active, moderation became more reactive to the members. The concept of pro-active moderation with the shifts in the expectation of wider internet society can be seen as a powderkeg which was waiting to explode, as should moderators be beat cops ensuring everyone in compliance, or are they the facilitators?
Personally, I like to think even though I may disagree with some patrons in the backroom with my opinions on some subject matters, they also know I don't 'abuse' my powers and trust me not to do so, and in any situation I felt my integrity has been compromised, I have always referred the matter to someone else to handle.
In the post you quoted, I was erroneous on the assumption at that time about Louis as it was the de facto belief that the reason was solely because of Louis-gate. I believe this is what GH was meaning.
The 'Unthinkable' mentioned in the post was the idea of a moderator ever being 'stripped off' the green as it was (I believe) the first time it had ever occurred and was a very reluctant action for that very same reason.
