Many people wrote blogs in concern to Dev_Ron's profile being banned. We sure don't know the whole story. Why it happened? Who knows other than himself. Eventually one of us will catch a glimpse of Ron by e-mail or on a messenger and he will be able to ellaborate on what happened. Apparently, I've heard he knew he was going to be banned soon. So now what can we do about it?
Despite our "commemorative" blogs, I doubt it will change anything to the situation as much as we'd like to. We could invade the mods, yeah, we could, but will that change anything other than risk our own profiles? Nope. Some of us are being watched over by mods, I don't know if I am, I don't know if you are, but I know they see our blogs about Ron. Yet it won't change a damn thing.
Once we do catch a glimpse of him by other manners of GameSpot since this is now rendered as impossible, maybe we will learn things we didn't know. But in general, Ron was a perfect GameSpotter to most of us, as I replied in DragonCub's blog. He would invest some time into the community, would get along with the majority of the people, etc. I've seen people get banned in the span of time I spent on GameSpot. I could tell you myself just from having seen their profiles why they got banned. But Ron? Total mystery as far as everyone knows so far.
Hell, we might even be puting our profiles at risk just by talking about it. We're almost raising a controversy with it. Some of us have more edgy blogs about it than others, going straight to the point with what we could consider anger, or even fear. Last thing I'd want to see is one more of us banned. Some more than others. Just as I know other users feel the same way about the others, probably not me, but we all have GameSpotters whom we felt close to and Ron was one of them for most of the people who knew him.
We can talk as much as we want about it, but I doubt it will bring him back. I'm really curious as to why it happened. I haven't talked with him last night therefore could not ask him what happened, why he did get banned. That's something all of us wonder, this I'm sure of.
People, try to not cross the thin line when talking about it all. Wouldn't want any of you to be forced to leave along with Ron. Ron is already a bad departure enough, we don't need more people to have their own departure as well, that is, unless you decide to leave on your own.
