[aur-general] Account Suspended, No Reason Given

[shoober420]

I have contributed to Arch, and Linux very much so. Especially for Steam.
Here’s a fine example.

This was discovered and resolved by yours truly. A lot of painstaking and
debugging went into diagnosing that bug. I love Arch, and do a lot for this
community. You should concentrate on all the good I have done, instead of
all the supposed bad things I’ve done.
