More directly, it was (the scamsters finally perceived enough ambiguity
and/or ill will to give up) roughly equivalent to forcing a proposal to
be processed through a forum whose location was not generally known (but
would be accessible to players if only they knew the location), and/or
that inconsistently bounced messages, and still arguing that said forum
was "reasonably accessible". I contented myself with arguing against
this position, but a number of others either left (ehird and Wooble, at
least) or threatened to do so.
