Need advice: static imploding because of cheater.

I'm telling them they did the right thing, and they should follow their own values rather than listening to an arbitrary group of people who want to impose their will on others. If you can't see the difference, I feel very sorry for you.

I agree at the end of the day the right decision was made, but during the course of this thread it was revealed that they didn't have written rules. So likely the removal took the group off-guard and interrupted any progress they were making. If there are boundaries that cannot be crossed, the rules should be set in advance with the group IMO.

Yes it's great to have values you follow, but they shouldn't be arbitrary or hidden when the time of 7 other people comes into consideration.

That's a good point and something they should take away from it going forward. I also mentioned as such in my reply no?

Yeah I've been upvoting your posts. Sometimes I just ramble more than necessary.

Rambling is fine. If I come off as aggressive I apologize. I've been told many times I have a sharp tone online and it is something I am actively trying to work on.

I personally run three different communities of ... 12, 18, and 140 people. I participate in several others, including a low-mid tier raid group as a member. I've seen plenty of organizations of different size fall apart over the course of my life. Most of the attitudes of 'Let someone cheat' are akin to people that traditionally I, or the people I have help run said communities, had to kick out for disruptive behavior. This is especially notable for cheaters and exploiters.

Anyway have a nice night, all of you. Best of luck. o7

Why say so-called and put quotation marks around the word "cheat" though?

Because to me zooming further out is not cheating. It should be in the game by default. And it already is for people with very high resolutions.
