Well, the glitch he was meant to showcase appears to be fixed and his admin-shielding has worn off, so there's no reason to keep him if he returns and starts acting up again.

Nope. Not by me or by Michael.
I'm well aware of APA citation guidelines. Not sure if Michael has social sci background, but he seems to understand how to use the jargon in earnest and ironically.
Why do you wonder?
A wild night? From the gloomy goodbye threads, the mass banning mentions and the spam I see traces of, "wild" is mildly put, lmao. All this you wrote is fucking great news! I really welcome Turn back as mod and all the unbanning. I knew Luna would retreat as always, but you stepping in and mending the shit is a great surprise. Never imagined you cared about this place outside the coding and thought a lot of the damage to SC would stay undone. I really hope Luna understands she made the right choice to leave us be and never return as admin again, and if she changes her mind and wants the admin back, I hope you remember this fiasco and say no.
I feel sorry for her because of how much she liked the place and she did save the entire community from being dissolved with the nabble forum 3 years ago, but it’s really not for someone like her to run it. I wouldn’t mind seeing her around as a poster though, but she should expect a lot of shit coming her away from the community if she does. XD
This brightened my day a little. I had a good, hearty laugh down to my bones. Of the scenarios imagined, I figured Luna would have too much pride to bail. She seemed more likely to take everyone down with the ship, than sneak into a lifeboat. Very, uh, Saddam Hussein... But we won't chase her down and execute her, I think.
