Hmmm, interesting

More concerning in my view is not that cheats are being given another chance, it’s the way it’s happening and where these cheats and distributors of cheats are ending up.
Back to your micro/macro analogy; corruption in society is something we have to learn to deal with, corruption in government is something we should all fight against.
Something to think about perhaps ;)

You have a point here. I am italian and when you say "corruption in the goverment" I start to stutter.
But I must say that all the real big hackers I used to know work now for banks and intelligence.

Anyhow I have to reflect on what you say. Probably you are right when you say that cheating is the most serious crime in here (the only one?), so maybe as The Crema points there are differences in the analogy, differences that I tend to underrate.
And its also true that I think to the average age of people around, so maybe that influences my severity. 'Cause at the end - here and there - we are the same persons. And kids can change fast, if well directed.

I agree with The Crema. Lets move away from single cases and go direct to the general questions. There should be a civil discussion (whoever the participants would be - maybe a council with delegates of all the parts? Am I dreaming?) to reach some sure and shared rules . It would be a real challenge for the community and a very interesting (ops sorry Alien, I said interesting) moment.
