Taverner would not have been PPR'd and some others who were reinstated would not have been.
MIRT deals mostly with members with under 100 points. We also get hides that are 6-0, which aren't that many. We have nothing to do with the flag process. I myself didn't even know Taverner was flagged until we had to deal with his socks.
