Who are you and whats your relation to BMR / Utopia?

My real name is Steven Ruijter, I was a user under the nickname CosaNostra.

What was your role on BMR?

CosaNostra was a shared account like any mod account on BMR, it was not my personal account it was an account were i had access to.
BMR was kinda smart designed on the background, to be honest there were no roles defined. A moderator is a moderator.
