I can understand your doubts, Benny.
But jOjO is a well integrated staff member, and he's been here long enough to have the same legislation as anyone of those you mentioned. Also i might add that the primary objective was to recruit someone active, i personally don't remember when i last saw tezza or v3 ingame.
Things like the diverted judgement on players based on the friendship happen, they happen everyone, that's just human. Also jOjO is leading V since years and although he maybe made mistakes in the past i think he manages seperating clan and administration quite well.
That's how i see things from my view as an admin rookie. jOjO totally deserves it.
