I personally want to stand up for Hacker. People are attacking him for simply doing his job, and he's not even getting paid for it; he's doing it voluntarily! We need to respect other people's work! Perhaps the bans at that time were the only right decision to somehow de-escalate the situation. But they should have banned him for a maximum of 24 hours, and everything would have been okay. ;)
All moderators and coordinators work voluntarily. I haven't seen any lines of players eager to take on the burden of responsibility and work as moderators. It takes time and responsibility, plus integrity. It's a difficult and sometimes thankless job.
By the way, what's next? Will everything now fall on the shoulders of the second coordinator, Luchik?? That's right! What a great gift for her on March 8th! Now she'll be working for two.
We all came to the site and read the rules, so we need to follow them.
And the right decision in the conflict was to temporarily freeze everything to cool things down and resolve the conflicts.
If, for example, a player is caught red-handed, and there is evidence of his violations (and cheating), he should be punished – up to and including a ban on that player participating in future tournaments.
But mutual insults never lead to anything good.
