Well Probation doesn't have to be a permanant thing, the purpose was to bring it to everyone's attention when a transaction was not completed within a reasonable amount of time(30 days).
I also thought that one could be removed from Probation if the situation was resolved with the parties to the offendeds satisfaction, which is what happened with Cap FFreak, correct? Wouldn't it be more appropriate for pirate to start up his own "Welcher" thread instead of putting him back on the Probation list?
And what happened to the original Probation Thread Moderator(no offense to sheradon)?
probation is probation, why start another thread?
Because it was established early on that someone could be removed from Probation, for example, if the situation was resolved to everyone's involved satisfaction. You put him back on because you still consider him a welcher. That issue had been addressed and he had been removed.
