I’m torn. On the one hand, enforcing a rule retroactively would be very uncool.

Merc got banned for a year. I can remember he got banned at least twice (not counting this time) by the same reason. They enforced the rule retroactively once, his first time doing it.

We all know getting banned for a full year, with the full consensus of an ADMIN (the admin Merc would claim he was a whipping boy for, nonetheless (no trolling here, he really did it and I have logs to prove it)), means you screwed up. Badly.

There is examples of other people plagiarising? Sure, the defense should go ahead and bring them instead of shooting in the nothing with whining and “bawwwww I want my money back”. All I’ve seen is proof that Merc did it himself.
