JUDGMENT

But what will you say when this happens again? I remember that several people have already fallen for this "trap." But even if we accept your point of view about mercy, it will look like this: I'm a newbie, I recently registered on the portal, I read this thread - I SAW that he was forgiven as a NEWBIE, and I decide to try to repeat this scheme myself, but in a slightly different, more thoughtful way, so that no one notices, and if someone does notice, I'll immediately confess and hope that the "newbie" story will repeat itself...
So, should we forgive all "such" people now? You need to know the measure of mercy, and sometimes you even need to show your fangs! Sincerely, Ley.

Firstly, if this happens again, he will definitely be banned.
Secondly, this is about a specific person. I think I can defend him and understand him, at least because I played with him, almost at the same time as Pandora, but he didn't use cheats, which speaks in his defense. He just lost once and really wanted to win... I agree that you shouldn't do that, but... I think he probably wouldn't have confessed unless he was counting on being pardoned...
Haven't you ever made a mistake? All your posts don't contain spam, off-topic content, etc. There's definitely at least one post. And should you be banned for that now?! Because it's also a violation of the rules, also intentional, and, by the way, not that minor... This is your phrase, "let's"...

As Optimal rightly pointed out, this is a unique case, and it is unlikely to be repeated, so newbies should probably not expect leniency in the future, even if it does happen...
