There are things you can do. Registrations may have failed, which is true up to an extent. Forming your acts for a Naval organization on how to deal with undesired consequences that you call as -capwhores- shouldn't be too hard. If they are reluctant to have a peek at forums down here, then they could also shut it instead of accusing people just because they were dealt with a reasonable manner, which probably ended up with the problematic personnel's loss of equipment and etc.
On the uncharted lagoons of anguish, I sail with a canoe made of my sins.
