No-one took the ruling to the Ombudsman, therefore no-one took the right process.
NOW it gets brought to the Ombudsman because further action WAS taken.
There was no set rule in place that involved non-involved parties not being able to post in war threads. This new rule was implimented by yourself after a while in that thread.
Hence Clarkey, while you can advise, you cannot actually rule that non involved parties may not post without consent of the Admins which you did not receive.
Though I was specifically invited by Semper on page 1 and Buck later to post in the thread as an honorary member of Nemesis Sector. Hence I was not attempting to undermine Clarkey's authority, I was posting as invited to and thus was not a 'non-involved' party as referred to in your post. Because I was invited to post, I had no reason to refer this to the ombudsman before this time. And even now, it's coming up because of a related case which involves Mathlord, FreeSpirit, and myself.
