I've always been a proponent of the old adage:

Praise in public, reprimand in private.
Even in the military.. I used to abhor what they called "Open Mast".

Let's line up the entire command to watch the CO scream at someone. I'm sorry.. we're not 10 anymore. We don't need to be "scared" into doing the "right" thing.

At least.. most of us shouldn't have to be.

As far as transparency.. to an extent. That's why I said that I wouldn't have been against X-Fade or whoever making an announcement and having it locked simply saying:

Applications from <insert dev name here> have been removed from Extras. A bug was found that permitted premature apps to get promoted before their time.

The Dev has been contacted and will be able to re-submit these in the near future.
Or something similar. That's it.... the users can see why their apps magically vanished from HAM - and the dev gets dealt with on the side.
