@ CC and Teejay, it's good to see a disagreement about this, but in a way that is conducted with some decorum
Far too many times in this post I have seen things blown way out of proportion, when in actual fact we all want the same result, but through different approaches.
Myself, I believe that some form of punishment is necessary. What they did was to abuse their status, based on the evidence provided in this forum. To banish them forever, too harsh. To let them off and say don't do it again, too lenient. We have to strike a happy medium. A medium that will allow us to progress with a hobby, that for most part is bloody enjoyable, so there is no doubt in our mind, which causes us to question ourselves everytime we press that 'buy now' button.
