Why do we ban?

But not giving the chance for laz to conform. begrudgingly or not. shows intense unprofessional thinking and bias.

What is laughable is people going all out for second chances, almost white knight level, but only for the people they actually think deserve one.
What about GamerGirl, Alhimik, Snakelancer, Sava, Burak, Exodite, Hone, Lyth, Makc or many others. Oh wait.

Maybe the punishment for so many different scope of offenses should be revisited then.

Cause laz did not effectively embargo or cripple the server for a month. To compare them all as the same is nonsense.

I think it's more about the intent of their actions.

He INTENDED to go out of his way to grief. That's just as bad. We don't need people with that kind of attitude around, really.

Then it falls back to the question. Is a first offence the determinator that hes stuck that way?

To this day I cannot be sure on so many accounts like this and unlike this.

I mean we didn't send him to prison we sent him home. the evidence he misses the place the community we all value is his appeal. was it THAT BAD?

We won't ever know. but still think the price of a second go around is so small in this instance to make sure of it that i've never shorted anyone that much.

The equation is very simple if hes a griefer he will always grief. if that was his true motivation the first time.
