I want to personally apologize to hain, Higs, the rest of team aether, and all other war participants because this whole situation could have been avoided had us WMs taken more security measures before war began.
Unfortunately, what's done is done. I think the final ruling is the most appropriate despite the wide range of opinions voiced.
Regardless of whether or not Higs did anything illegal within the War event, she still has my full support as an admin of this site.
