Sorry, you're probably right. I'm on mobile though, and going through the process of all that on a phone, and not knowing who is ever online/available at any one time, I just figured this was the easiest/best option. I'll go through the proper channels if anything like this ever happens again.

Thanks for further explaining. I wasn't aware it was a group decision. Had I known the other mods were already in agreement, I wouldn't have said anything. :P
