What You Don't Know About Elijah: A Word About the Way This Community Treats Others
As anyone who has been in the community for a while knows about Platypugs, I was the one who saw the problem and poached everyone from that server to make sure that a known cheater didn't get to play, along with all the other toxic players. I made ice cream with Medeev and had Elena carry the server on her back. Ice cream had a great reputation, and I slowly tarnished mine because I was horribly addicted to my home. Platypugs was Elijah's home, and now that everyone close to him has abandoned him, he probably resorted to cheating again (obviously, I have no idea).
Obviously, I owe everyone involved an apology, and I'm showing that by doing my part to make a new community where everyone should be given another chance to play (even banned cheaters). I haven't contacted Elijah; he doesn't know about this. This is more of a forgiveness letter, asking this community to stop spreading hatred towards others.

While I do think this community could lighten up a bit with the toxic behavior just outwardly towards everything not in their personal circlejerk, certain players who time and time again go against people's trust dont deserve a place in the community.
If you go so far to seek attention and validation by cheating not once but twice, then I dont see a point in welcoming them back.
That said, I do think people can grow and we should foster that with the ability to accept people back who may have been unsavory in the past. At it's baseline its all about trust and the ability of the person to build their reputation, I don't think it's unfair to be cautious about individuals who have ruined their reputation by doing whatever.

They deserve to be banned, at some point they should be allowed back though, just like scratch was.

Once again, I agree that it is not okay for him to be unbanned, but I already posted my thoughts on this matter earlier. It is unacceptable that we remove people from the community without question. I did not go to Elijah, I did not contact Elijah, and I am not friends with Elijah. This is all conjecture.

griff idk what sort of kumbayah shit you've been drinking lately but there's no building a community without cheaters if you express at all that it might be acceptable if your sob story is good enough. i don't view cases like scratch or habib as good, and maintain that we would have been better off without them than with them and letting people like elijah and friends cope that they're cool

i wish we had good enough anti-cheat that we didnt have to worry about who cheated in the past etc. i do not support the use of hacks or understand the reason behind trying to use them in a competitive setting, but the thought of potentially good players getting perma banned due to hacking previously bothers me. do any competitive games have good anti-cheat these days?
