Does the fact that they cheated in the past make them humanly different?
Besides the fact they made a mistake and will learn from it, I don't see how they play the game differently than all of us do.
You can't constantly judge someone from what he has done in the past, because in that case, maybe we should consider a kid who has stolen a bike when he was 14 years old should never be reinserted in society again and considered as a thief his whole life ?
You said it right, they are ex-cheaters, meaning that as most of the people who play the game, they do not cheat anymore.
If anything, the probability that those ex-cheaters cheat again is probably lower than for those who never cheated.
In fact, you more often see non-cheating players try cheats (Swarmed, C3dric, Hosta...), rather than ex-cheaters cheat again. (exception for some guys like JV, S0NIC, Priest who will keep on cheating no matter what).
I don't really see why we should reject people who cheated from the community after they served their sanction.
Which is probably why there are "many" ex-cheaters in .rC|. We indeed stand for tolerance, and we don't judge someone simply on his past but on his personality and who he is as a person, aswell as if he'd fit in the group and what he can bring us. (not only skillwise)
Also, I don't really understand people who say "cheaters are all the same", this is IMO not true. People don't use same cheats and they don't use it in the same intentions or circumstances.
There are differences between players who use cheats on private servers to "have fun & test it with friends" and those who use it in order to get an advantage in competitive matches.
I'm not saying the sanction should be different, and I even think 3 months is not enough (5 months?), but the reinsertion should be different between players like Xemi or S0NIC; yet people don't seem to make a huge difference between those 2 and call them both "cheaters".
In real life it's the same, you wouldn't give the same sentence to someone who killed his wife by voluntarily poisoning her or someone who killed his wife by "accident" (eg: an argument that turned out badly in which he did not wish her death).
Justice does make a difference depending on the intentions of both of them, even if they can be both considered as murderers.
tl:dr Hosta deserves at least 3 months (which is the standard period) of blacklist as he needs to "pay for what he's done", however, I don't see how it changes the person he is and I will personally treat him no different and he will remain my friend anyway.
Cheers :)
