Very lenient, it's hard to believe the only game he ever hacked in was the one where he got caught. Muse calling him out on the first page + the initial lying/defence makes the confession look more like calculated damage control. Great message to send to people: if you do get caught hacking, admit to the games cited and say it was only this once for a slap on the wrist.\

edit: at the very least he could've uploaded a complete ladder rep pack from last season, instead he offered a 55 min stream VOD which proved nothing

Well what punishment would you believe is reasonable? a 9 week break seems more than reasonable to me, given what has happened to his reputation through this thread. whether or not he has hacked more than one game is irrelevant - as you will see him as a hacker forever.

So, what do you think is a just punishment that should be handed out by us as a community?

Should we rely on knee jerk reactions - such as those that have been posted throughout the thread? or should we use this thread as a message to the hackers - we are a community, and we will find you and report you to your clan and blizzard, which is truly all we have in our power to do.

Agreed with Dippa, 6 months to a year seems reasonable. Hacking's the gaming equivalent of 1st degree murder as far as i'm concerned. Fade's response is piss weak, the few that are caught should be made examples of. No forum ban is also bloody soft for a gaming community.

I'lm sure hackers are shaking in their boots. "You're unlikely to get caught unless you admit it; your clanmates will support you throughout and if you come clean we'll be super nice about it and give you some community work to do."

All this thread says is "Don't get caught twice".
