I'll give my 2 cents worth.
I was keeping tabs on the thread and to me the parties involved were making progress. There was no arguing or flaming of any kind and the members involved kept a level head.
Now, all you've done is fuelled the fire when there was no fire and now you've got to deal with this thread which is going to last another 20+ pages with needless comments and thus going nowhere and resolving nothing.
IMO, you made a bad judgment on this one. Think about it, The thread could have been set as an example of how to resolve this kind of problem, and to show that these kind of occurances can be resolved without a staff member coming in with sarcasm and stating that it was all a drama.
With regards to copyright, I'm sure you rely on members to submit sites that are breaking vbulletin copyright laws thus cracking down on those who break it. My point being, it's not that the person has to do this but they do it off their own back out of good nature and (because the thread in question) was civil as was the people involved I'm sure you could have done the same.
Sometimes a little common sense goes a long way, and a little descretion. :down:
