Curious how someone "forced" them
No idea, and I would be skeptical about believing this claim. The only thing backing it up is 10 or so people who saw a mod post it and delete it, and they told me. Maybe a strongly worded email, if it's real? In any case - must stress that it's not evidenced to my standards.
