The dialectical struggle of history has always, essentially, been a question of how to apply justice to matter. Take away matter and what remains is justice.
The respect of this forums means nothing.

And that's just the way I like it.

just seems hella suspicious that a bunch of people got gang tags (“Jihad Squad”) with the avatar they had directly prior to the one I had purchased. I’m not alleging a mass conspiracy, just a mass cover-up.

If someone used the store to change them, it might make sense to try to get more for their money.

Regarding previous avatars, it is pretty easy to look up avatar history at sites like https://goons.neocities.org/. If you see the multiple versions of their current avatar, you can be reasonably sure that the store was used to repurchase them. People can, however, also just use img tags with a previous avatar's URL, so the absence of multiple versions of that avatar does not particularly prove anything.

Also unless you changed something, you can tell the difference between a mod-given av and a bought av by copying the image url and viewing it. If it's a hash/random-ish numbers, they bought it, if it looks like coherent words containing the path "images/avatars" then it's mod-done.

Didn't change anything about that, but I should note that mods and store users alike can use [img] tags, meaning where a file is uploaded and who chooses to include it in a title can be different.

right I mean solely for avatars, like yours is:

and mine/bought ones are:
https://fi.somethingawful.com/safs/titles/6a/af/00165861.0005.png

gangtags themselves tend to also look like /images/avatars because I'm assuming that's how the mod upload vs/store upload process works

my first job was working on a huge legacy/cobbled-together PHP app so I have an affinity for finding little idiosyncrasies like that

As a mod, I care a lot about precedent. And because I just set the precedent at 1 min (or less, rounding up) of vlogging equals one day of probation, I am afraid that my hands are now tied on this and I have no choice but to continue this policy indefinitely.
