FTG was banned not for viewing the staff forum but for telling people what was going on inside the staff forum, from what I've heard. It makes sense. I've mistakenly had staff access at boards before (Kraptastica and FF:WA for starters) where I wasn't supposed to be staff, but I didn't say anthing about what I read in there 'cause really, it's the sensible thing to do. You get let in on a secret, you don't go blab it out to everyone and expect no consequences.
