There is one big difference between real life and this game/community imo: anyone's life here is at stake, so people don't have a moral obligation to be so forgiven or lenient.
Since whatever action/punishment this community decides upon infractions (and what precisely consists in a serious infraction), won't affect any important fact of anyone's life, whatsoever, I don't relle see why we should based our actions in any existent judicial system (and besides, most of them don't have a say about online gamers behavior).
We can make our own rules and since so far we don't have any clear ones, the question is: What should our policy regarding cheaters (and any other infraction) be? Who should actually decided that, the developers, the server owners, the clan leaders/members, the forum users?
I don't know, but imho we should try to have this discussion, hopefully without the flames and the clan's political BS...
Its easy to deal with situations when you have clear rules and they sure would avoid a bunch of completely pointless and useless flames, likes some we had in this forums lately (a few of each, yours truly here, started)
