There is no pedestal, Mutt. VV had someone get banned for accidentally figuring it the same bug that Samra exploited, AND reporting it to the devs. Are we calling out for them to be unbanned? Nope. A game is not jail, either. Losing the ability to play a game in no way inhibits your freedom to do anything else. Should you wish to continue comparing it to a crime, I suggest murder of the game's integrity, and a sentence of life with no possibility of parole. I have the same stance against anyone who cheated, in any game. One strike and you're out.
Your initial statement makes you complicit in the fact that she exploited the bug. If it's your fault that she did it, as you stated, it only confirms exactly what I said. Once a cheater, always a cheater. Whether you did it yourself, or put someone else up to it, is irrelevant to that point. Regardless of how it happened, she cheated, and that's all that matters in the end.No different than Dampiel, Alfred, Eightbitpony, or the countless others who have fallen at the hands of the rules.
It is a shame that you choose to take offense to my words. My dislike for cheaters is what brings out my cursing, and no issue with Samra or any of you. I simply chose to put a screeching halt to the "forgive and forget" sham that folks want to allow in this case. Not all of us forgive being cheated against, in any form.
I stand by every word I said. Under no circumstances should Samra be allowed to return.
