Orrrr maybe it was for bans that there would be a seperate section for hackers and whatnot where only admins could comment on what they thought of demos and whatnot so people wouldn't spam the threads.
That sounds right, if you had a seperate section for admin abuse then no one who witnessed the possible "abuse" could comment on it. However I agree that James and whoever else should continue to weed through the threads and delete any flame comments.
