Preemptive administration is not good administration for second chances. "Let me know if they slip up" is free license to provoke me and then report it, which is what he's been trying to do since he got permission. That's a poor comparison to make.
It's not poor at all because it's exactly what he's doing. Anyone here can provoke anyone else too. I could go ahead and provoke (just for examples sake) Ike right now, I could spam him with PMs saying how he's a horrible person for a thing he did years ago and make drama after drama on him.
Do you know what would happen? My reputation would go down the stuffter because none of it is justified and I just did it to start stuff where none was necessary. If you have any hint of an idea of how to handle yourself online, the exact same thing will happen to your provoker. Be the better man and you will come out on top, that's how things work here. Again, it's fair and equal for everyone involved. I'd have to go to great lengths to restore my reputation just like you, even though I'm a (hopefully) trusted forumer by now.
