The reasoning given in Curtis' quote is ambiguous at best. Without wanting to create more work for him, I think Squishy should actually clarify the reasoning as that gives a false interpretation of events.

However, with that said, if you think it is in the interest of the game to lose two more helpdesks, who have no advantage from their helpdesk accounts, I have no issue with it. 

To be fair - I thought it was a bit strange that Curtis was DD'd over conflict of interest given the fact that Helpdesk has no unfair advantage as we've been told multiple times. But now that Squishy has explained its his OWN conflict of interest (Ie: Tired of dealing with bullshit) he's doing the easiest thing. 

As stated time and time again there is no conflict of interest for any helpdesk so none need to choose what so ever, as squishy as said Curtis was for the sole reasoning that he couldn't be doing with all the trouble coming from upset players getting the wrong ideas

only conflict would be if helpdesk was told something that would effect their personal characters. that would easily transfer over to the game.

helpdesk members really dont need seperate names and all in blue at the top of the players list above the actual players. its GREAT they help answers questions but having them all login to one account or whatever would look more fair

I appreciate that.

And from my personal perspective; I would much rather not have a Help Desk account than see the already overworked and unfairly harassed owner, have to deal with more salacious accusations and insulting suggestions surrounding the integrity of the HelpDesk staff.

That IS how it works. We are all the same account for all intents and purposes, however if we didn't have different names responding to people's questions, how would Squishy or Bunny be able to determine easily who's doing their job, answering things right, etc etc?

This whole thing is...absurd. It's an absolute shame that the ignorant and spiteful people around here pushed hard enough for Izzy to Retire one of our Team.

"The conflict of interest with Disorder extends to the number of whiners, complainers, ill informed and ignorant people who constantly contact me about putting him on a leash."

I'm not here to cause trouble or shit stir so I apologize if it comes across as this because its definitely not the intention, if anything its just mere curiosity and seeking clarification. 

I take it from what has been said in the above quote that it was actually the sheer volume of nonsense being sent to Izzy that has caused this to happen?

If this is the case, does this mean that the actual complaints being made were not valid? If so don't you think that this course of action taken may actual just empower the complainers and spur them on to try the same tactics with other helpdeskers who play?

Although saying that, if my assumption is wrong and the complaints were actually valid then that also poses the exact same problem and the complainers may attempt to use the same method with other players anyway?
