I believe judgement should be totally based on this forum only. A confirmed poe's (from outside the forum) posts will be treated differently compared to others. I do not think it is fair.Without an investigation, sometimes we don't know if a user is breaking the rules or not. For example, if a spammer comes along and posts a lengthy post that looks copy / pasted, how can we know that they are spamming unless we take part of the post and Google for it on other forums? Sometimes posts that look copy / pasted are actually written specifically for these forums by the member.
Likewise in this case, the suspicion that Jacob was a poe was the reason for Rayaan's initial investigation. The investigation showed that the suspicion was wrong, so nothing happened.

You will only use publicly accessible information to confirm suspicions about a user's intent.
