Ok a few things.
1. this is a medieval combat game. It is pretty obvious that we want witch hunts, its part of the time period!
2. some of the admins/devs were saying "we dont want these guys playing crpg" so... name and shame them. if you let them just blend back into the community with their reputation intact... thats no good. not to mention if they are just gonna make a new name and start from scratch... no one will know who they are anyways.
3. If anyone looked up to any of these guys... they deserve to know that they were cheating. Its like in the Olympics when someone gets a gold medal and everyone is like "yay he so awesaomz" but then a couple weeks later they get stripped of their medal for doping. you think they should just quietly do that without telling anyone? i dont think so.
4. witch hunts are fun!
