Given the nature of this particular comment I can only speak personally, so please don't take any of this as other members of staff's word, and also I hope no one will hold them to responding simply because I'm not speaking for them.

I realize that the events of the past week may predispose you to finding this hard to believe, but I legitimately do not know of any instance in which we shielded Night, nor of any real uproar over the issue until just recently when the blog posts started coming. It is my understanding of the situation that many members of the wiki were in fact unaware there was even any problem, and you can find examples of that in this very comment section (or the blog posts, but I deleted those so I suppose it's unfair of me to use that as evidence). The confirmation he apparently made was in a Skype call that I myself did not know of until people started mentioning it, and before that the only discussion of the issue came from what would generously be described as jokes from users who would make a joke like that. If when talking about staff deleting things you are referring to the fake confession made in the comments by a sockpuppet over a year ago, that was a troll account that was impersonating a user, so that was against our rules regardless, and as I said before was back when any accusations were simply that. Any other comments or blogs that we deleted were due to reasons such as that, or those that I explained in the blog. We only delete things that are clear violations of what we allow here, and as most would agree (and others might complain) we're a pretty allowing wiki.

I understand if this answer doesn't satisfy you, but I know of no instances in which Staff actively concealed this from the wiki, I know I personally did not participate in any cover-up, and frankly no one either seemed to know or care until people began to post about it and stir up others this week.

Whatever the case, he is most certainly blocked now, he should be blocked, and we won't be allowing this sort of thing ever again. I'm glad awareness of issues like this is higher, and tolerance for them is lower.

I also appreciate your cooperation on the shitposting front. Hopefully more rap battles makes up for it.
