I'll echo that thing riiChard said earlier about the losing your entire text when it doesn't think you're logged in and you have to go back in the browser :S
I think somebody mentioned this way back in the thread but having just made EvetS the example/lesson/warning for everybody in the SEA scene, I imagine there'll be a much harsher penalty next time somebody is caught. And I'm not telling you guys how to do your job here because you're legends, but perhaps a written policy for your stance on hacking will serve as both a deterrent and a non-debatable platform from which to base punishments?
As for the Blizzard/clan issues, those should be their business only. As a member of FaDe, I'm personally quite happy with how things have turned out. I'll echo what Meatex said earlier in that a lot (hours upon hours) of discussion went into dealing with this over the past two days. I find it curious however how much pressure there is on a clan to act on something like this. Regardless of what we decided to do, it should remain only our business, and I think it's a shame we're somewhat forced into dolling out a harsher punishment for PR sake if nothing else (although I do happen to agree with it). It's simplistically logical for an outsider to think "a FaDe member hacks, the clan doesn't kick him? they're all hackers / support hacking and a bad clan" but I don't know how many people would truly believe that, although it's kind of the thing everybody is assuming in the back of their minds. I just think everything gets somewhat muddled in the politics and messages a bit too much, but such is community life I guess.

See you all next year.. I'mma go get drunk now.
I don't believe many people think that. If anything, I see a lot of support for FaDe members for sticking by their friend. He told them he only did it once. They're his friends, why wouldn't they support him? I can't see how anyone can be upset with the way FaDe members acted. It's sure as hell what I'd do.
