I think you should judge situations like this one on a per case base.
You can't set up clear guidelines because every case is unique, so you can't follow a set couple of guidelines to process the case like a robot.
It's what Kindzaza and Myaoming did in this case. They quoted the rules, followed them literally and as a result Dan walked away unpunished.
Technically, they're right. But every other human being with a decent moral compass can feel than Dan is fucking rotten and despicable and should not get away with this.
Daryl said that temptations can lead to these actions, but I know from myself I would never abuse another human being's trust like this.
I'm sure many others are with me.
Besides, in this case Dan claimed that he traded the account. But he obviously didn't.
He then claimed that Siisz somehow had the e-mail adress (maybe because she's the rightful owner???) and stole her account back.
He lied to the community and the admins to try and get his 7(!!!!) accounts back. All of them of course have been acquired legally
NOT (Seriously who makes 7 different accounts with more characters on them than one person could possibly maintain).When confronted with his crimes, he proceeds to call Siisz dumb for trusting him (one of her guild officers at the time, who the fuck can you trust if a GM can't trust her officers anymore?) instead of apologizing.
I spit on you Dan. I spit on you despite the admins granting you lenience because they don't want to get swarmed by scamming reports.
I hope this will stirr up a heated discussion about the fact that we don't want our staff to be robots who follow some general rules somebody set up a long time ago.
And don't go all Sovjet-Russia on me and lock this topic. That would not be cool.
