Then it's my fault and I accept responsibility for not being a good administrator. However, I want to make a few things clear regarding Buckdodgers/Ravensteve:
First, no one on AD was "protecting" him before, including the mods, and we had no idea what he was going to get himself involved with a minor. Sure he had said some bad stuff before which got him permanently banned once, but then he pleaded and pleaded and said he'll never do it again.
Some of you know I can be soft-hearted so I decided to give him another chance with the approval from the mod team. The mods and I were keeping an eye on him since he was accepted back. Later on we started getting a few complaints against him, and we warned him that he's about to cross the line and if he gets banned again it's permanent for real this time. Again, no one was "protecting" him, we were just trying to talk sense into the guy. Everyone has flaws, no one is perfect, so why just get rid of him easily?
Ok, so it turned out to be a big mistake after I was told by Taylor that Buckdodgers/Ravensteve was baiting a minor on AllDeaf, or was it the other way around? Anyway, once I've seen enough evidence that he was, in fact, trying to manipulate this young girl, I removed his account without question. He's gone already, he's no longer here, so why are we still talking about him as if he still exists? Why can't we just move on, people?
Another thing, around the time 2hot4u (the minor in question) was active in the AD community, I checked and realized she was very young. And it was suspicious, too, because of the username she chose "2hot4u." That prompt me to investigate her account and found out that her IP address was associated with Taylor's account. There was no other IP address that pointed somewhere else but Taylor's account. I didn't say anything at first because I wasn't sure what was going on, and I still don't know what the true story is behind it but it lead me to believe that it was a fake, and only Taylor knows the truth.
Now, I'm asking everyone to please put behind this Buckdodgers/Raventsteve issue, unless you have a hard-on for him, and just move on. There's enough drama out in the real world, there's no need for that here. The problem was taken care of already, let's sit back and try to have healthy discussions. That's what I created AllDeaf for in the first place.
However, if you feel like you want to add something, go right ahead and say it here and only here, not in other threads. And do not dare think about ruining my thread, so think twice before you post.
Thank you.
Update:
I don't know if this is of any comfort, but I thought I'd share some new information I received from '2hot4u' aka 'Domino Harvey.' I was told that the person behind those accounts was never this 14 year old some of you believed, but it was a 22 year old "police officer." This 14 year old never existed, she was never real from the very beginning.
Now, I still don't know if this "police officer" is even real yet, so I'm waiting for verification from this person. I've asked for the name, location of this police precinct, and phone number where I can contact this "police officer" and verify that he is real. I'm trying to get the entire truth behind all this once and for all.

Omg! I knew it! I had a feeling there were a bait going on, but I was told that this underage teen was for real, but my gut feeling said it isn't. Now, I see that I cannot trust nobody in here, they're all full of liars. 
sorry i just had to put that in..
