Eh? WTF?

It's not clear exactly what happened here, but why would a staffer choose to make a random comment on an entry using their staff account? How did they even find their journal? As far as I can tell what happened is that the staff person does admit to leaving a comment on an entry which was in 'bad taste' and then deleting it, but then it's unclear whether the entry was locked (as the person alleges) or not (as the staff member alleges).

More disturbing are the allegations made by this person, although they admit to 'trolling' in the past, so they might not be a reliable source. However... do volunteers really have the ability to see locked posts? Or is it only closed support requests?

I just wanted to thank you for sharing the details of what happened.

This is appalling, and I think we're all trying to work out WTF exactly went on, and who had the access to do what.

Random irrelevant comment: I recognise that icon texture! One of oxoniensis', right?

[rydra_wong]

Yes, she made the icon -- isn't it gorgeous? It's one of the ones available from the wiki:

It is! I recognised the texture because I saved the larger version of it when she first posted it. I love her textures.

Thanks for the link :)
