(I didn't want to mention names but it was pretty much a must for the sake of argument).

You're misinformed on this but I won't discuss the details here.

I get those same reports and do investigate, but USDing itself is very hard to prove since its rarely done through graal itself. As for the spawning? When its proven they are fired.

UC servers asking for hosted receive a break in that they usually cannot get quality staff while still UC. If its really bad we won't even approve for hosted. However, when was the last time you saw us approve a server for Classic tabbed? Thats where quality really is necessary to come in. When a server is applying for hosted and we inspect, we give them suggestions for improvement based on what we can actually see. Please don't count those that have been classic tabbed for quite some time. Obviously scripting capabilities have improved since then so standards would be increased over time. That doesn't mean a server once qualified should be removed if they are at least trying to conform to a higher standard.
