A different GM has made it clear to you that GMs are monitored for abuse of power and dealt with accordingly. Accept that and move on. You aren't entitled to the details of such cases. When have you ever seen Blizzard admins make a post on some forums to say "GM X has been fired as a GM because we caught him abusing his powers!"? You haven't, and it doesn't mean that no Blizzard GM ever abused their powers. It also doesn't mean that they didn't fire GMs when it happened. Simply put, the details of such situations aren't your business. All you need to know is that it's not allowed and such situations are dealt with.
I've been in management for about a decade, and I've had to fire people for various reasons. When that happens, it's generally against company policy to go blabbing about the details of the situation to customers or even to other employees. It's simply not something you do. There's no reason why this should be any different.
Also, to those of you crying about logs. In no way does Tadbouche's picture suggest that this server doesn't keep logs of commands that GMs use. In fact, I'd say that the opposite is true. It seems pretty clear that the GM was able to locate the log of the situation, because he knew which GM banned the account. All he said is that the reason for the ban wasn't available. That could simply mean that the GM that banned him didn't list a reason. This server is based on a modified version of Mangos, and Mangos has multiple logging systems implemented (including one that logs all GM commands used), so there is no reason to doubt that they are capable of tracking their GMs' actions.
Except this is a private server run by some random dude in his basement. I think people deserve to know about the corrupt shit that may or may not be going on behind the scenes. I sure as hell don't want to be investing tons of time on a server if a small % of people have an unfair advantage, even if the server is free to play on. Its There have been servers in the past where corruption has taken place. Its not like this is a server run by an actual company where its highly unlikely that there would be gm's abusing their power (and if they were they would probably be quickly dealt with).
Think about this: if this gm was doing shit like this then who knows what he might have done in the future? I really don't trust peoples word. People can behave/act in corrupt ways. People can lie. I think some people have brought up some really interesting points in this thread.
