As someone who has been on Plague for a while...it's because of the unfortunate culture that was more prominent at that time. What culture do you ask? The "staff/other flights hates us" culture. So of course, someone as infamous as Jon was welcomed to be a Dom leader in Plague bc dumb reasons (like, let's invite this person, they did nothing wrong, just spam fundraisers nonstop).
Off-topic rant: I want to think that this "victim complex" is less prominent, mostly because this past RoR was the tipping point for many plague oldies (realizing it's not that deep), the ban of ShadeofChaos and the ridiculous attitude of Kyra (boycott the site!!! I stand with plague!!! Ugh) was mine.
Also, fun fact: the way ShadeofChaos told her history (was banned because she bought too many gems in a short lapse) it's so stupid. Suuuuree it was just an unfortunate coincidence that she was banned right when staff cracked onto a huge black market operation, that also included another Dom leader (Fire's bank person) and others. Just one person (a random user, but they had/have a Tumblr) came clear that they were banned due to doing black market trades.
