Salty AKA Reptilian was temporarily banned many, many months ago. He has not interacted on that profile since the temp-banning.

I am stating this publicly because many users are responding to your mention of him to start a witch-hunt. That is not their place, but I want you to know what's happening. You decided to ping a user who isn't involved in this thread, and now several others are all speculating about him, and derailing the post and focusing on that.

You are not responsible for how everyone else is acting, but do keep in mind - when you mention a specific user who isn't here, it opens up conversation about that user. Conversations about a specific user, more often than not, end violating rule 1 of this sub.

If you want to shout-out to someone who isn't around, maybe PM them instead of letting the masses of the internet focus on it.
