Boötes Void's Problem

A situation in which a proof, piece of evidence, or claim is presented against a person, group, or entity within a private communication channel, but its credibility cannot be independently verified because the subject of the claim has left, been removed from, or otherwise lost access to that channel before the evidence can be examined, challenged, or authenticated.

The moderators claimed they had screenshots proving misconduct, but because the accused had already left the group and nobody could independently review the evidence, the discussion fell into Boötes Void's Problem.
