They actively worked with a known DoS. If a defender did that you'd whinge to the heavens and you know it.
Vandoosa knowingly worked with a DoS player and actively cheated. They don't deserve a repeal for being nice afterwards.
I'm repealing SC#188 because it's crap and failed to do what it set out to do (beyond Condemning Vandoosa), not because Vandy "be[came] nice afterwards."
You will note that the author of the target resolution, Tir-Na-Nog-Ta (8:33:46 BST on April 2nd 2016), got deleted by the moderators during the Predator purge - one second after ChingisOtchigin, fifteen seconds before Gest, and about twenty minutes before Vandoosa (8:52:29 BST on April 2nd 2016). I do not know if TNNT used Predator, was a puppet of such a person, or was simply deleted at roughly the same time as the important DEN people for getting into some unrelated trouble with the mods.
