So the network traffic or server logs were shown? Or maybe hacked footage from the individuals camera?

Depends on the method. If you're just naming and shaming, without video, then you could say anything about anyone just to cause them grief. You can turn an entire forum against some innocent kid if you have enough charisma. Then you have manipulative videos. For example just this week some guy posted a video about how someone was cheating. We claimed lag, he said there was no lag the video proved it. Video had the right 2" of the screen chopped off so the lag bars wouldn't show up. I've also seen some impressive photo-shop (or whatever the video equivalent is) video edits showing wacky stuff. That's not to say that even a majority of these posts (now) are fakes or anything. And the OP's (removed) video was probably legit. I'm just saying that we get riled up too easily on the forums. If Mods didn't remove stuff, we'd be eating innocent victims alive.
