then the game would be more enjoyable for everyone. As long as the imms don't truly screw up, I guess. There's also this talk of animosity towards staff and that we should stop complaining and all maybe hold hands and sing kumbaya. Just trust the imms!

But the problem is: I can never trust them again because they betrayed my trust in the worst way possible.

Dear imms,

By logging on, I implicitly give agreement that imms can view (snoop) anything I do in-game. That's alright. I know what I'm getting into.

But I did not give you permission to read my Skype logs, regardless of whether you obtained them yourself or from a third party. If someone sent me 18mb worth of chatlog as "proof" of cheating ring in my MUD, I would do nothing. Because I would not read it. There is a reason such things are not admissible as proof in real life courts.

I was told basically "you are not banned so shut up and get on with it". But the chat was general purpose, and we discussed many things other than CF. Your poking nose had no place in that log. And by admitting you went as far as running it through a translator to be able to understand what the chat was about you are just as guilty as the one who leaked the log to you.

Secrecy of correspondence is guaranteed in both Russian and American constitution, and you have no authority to invade it -- and even if you did, I would still resent you for doing it.

I have animosity towards you, very much so. And I would not be clamoring for transparency so much if I was not convinced that you do not deserve our trust. Thanks.
