But fine. I would not be opposed to facing less situations like this in the future. If you would like, I will gladly start up an admin vote regarding the addition of a new rule so that this situation never happens again and that there is no ambiguity on our part.

That any accounts associated with a banned player will be meeting the same fate. If a member is banned for a month - all character accounts the player had access to will be banned for a month. If the player is ''permabanned'' and the six months period before they can post an appeal comes into play along with the ship-wipe, the ships that they ever had access to will be deleted instantly upon his sanction day as not to repeat the issue where Snak3's ships survived due to techincal difficulties earlier that year.

If you cannot have faith in us handling these things manually and accept that they have the chance to differ wildly at a case by case basis and would rather have no ambiguity at all, we can do that. From a techincal standpoint it would be literally the most easy thing to do - filter by access, Ctrl A + press the button saying Ban/Delete.

If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.

And this is what would ruin all the good aspects of having factions that can offer shared ships to enable their members to participate in more situations with the right equipment.

No faction leader can vouch for every member of his team. I once lost an account full of Gunboats with high Caus because I gave access to a GB expert who - in 2 sessions - trained my faction members. Later on he was banned. All GBs gone. Do I want to fear every time I give a shared account away that everything is going to go "Poof"? No.

As Spazzy's answer already showed, the cases can be very different.
And even in a RL court of law, not every case is the same, not every crime gets the same punishment.

What is really needed is trust in what the Admins decide. I know... that can be a tall thing to ask for, especially after a woefully wrong decision and its aftermath, however in cases like this, the alternatives are too detrimental to many.
