I’d say ban all the illegal multis, but allow them a main. If they continue to make illegal multis then they should be banned for 30 days or so, ip and all.

If they come back and do the same ban them for a year.

And I would like reiterate once more that Kraid’s ban was really unfair considering it was entirely PANTS’ doing.

Yes, but Kraid’s “unfair” ban is your opinion. Obviously there has to be a final authority on these things, and obviously it should be the admins, not the players, or we are back to a popularity contest. In this case, obviously the admins though the ban was fair. You’ll never get anywhere if every case is tried by the popular opinion of the players.

As to your question, Banhammer, I don’t think it’s fair to enforce the rules based on who’s “unfunny” or not. That’s very subjective. A lot of stuff that people call “unfunny” I think is hilarious, and a lot of stuff that many people laugh at I think is repetitive and unfunny. I don’t see how you can possibly use something that subjective as a means to enforce rules.

On the other side of the coin, I think that banning should be used sparingly. In the example you gave, I would give the illegals a chance to pay for their characters and convert them to alts, or they’re out. I’d vote for leniency, just because of the nature of the game.
