other smurfer's i see caught get permanently banned
where? - the only precedent was CHobo - he didn't get an indefinite ban. His was 1 year - because he was smurfing in competitions for money.
EDIT: Re comments - no CHobo got a 12 month ban from SC2SEA competitions - I *think* eddie may have given him indefinite ban from Masters Cup tho. But the SC2SEA Admins don't have power of that event - this is a ban for the individuals involved for any and all SC2SEA events (as thats the limit of the SC2SEA admin's influence) - I believe it will also result it them missing the next SEACL. Because there hasn't been other situations (besides CHobo - which was an extreme case) no set punishment was worked out - the Admins chatted about it for a few hours and decided that a short punishment and the shame it would bring is good enough for these guys - however, now everyone knows its a serious issue - and future smurfing incidents may have a harsher punishment - consider this case a warning to every other potential smurfer in the community.
