Isn't it bad karma to suspend some of your top Atlassian Answers contributers?

I can't help but notice that top contributers such as David Simpson (16k+ karma) have been suspended from Atlassian Answers for some time and are therefore missing from the "All Time" Leader Board.

What gives?

We had a parting of ways with the members of the AppFusions team on Atlassian Answers. I'm a big fan of Atlassian's Open Company, No Bullshit policy and try to work by it every day, but in this case I do not think it is polite or appropriate to go into the details behind this decision.

The Answers team (Jeremy, Dennis and I) are deeply thankful for the effort that the guys & gals from AppFusions have put into the Answers community (David especially!) and they have played a big part in making this site the success it is today.
