A frank and open dialogue about hacking

This one line is all that needs to be said against "We know you are, we have no proof, but that's not important"

I realize this is a discussion pertaining specifically to the forum, but grant me a bit off leeway here...

I realize that the idea of "Justice is Blind" is nearly a long forgotten concept, but consider southperry as it's own independent nation...anyone is welcome as long as you behave yourself...a Sweden of sorts...Yes what you have done is abhorrent, yes you have possibly destroyed the thing i love, but I am willing to not necessarily ignore what you have done, just put it aside for he overall benefit of the community I am currently a part of.

I am not the judge, jury and executioner and until/unless you show me that you do not want to be a contributing member by means of your actions here, you are welcome for your input and contribution.

I would love to say that everything is black and white in the world, and I realize that sometimes it is a challenge to put aside feelings when here, but you just have to. even if there is proof beyond a doubt they hack, if they have done nothing here, on southperry, to violate the "law" persecuting them makes you no better in the grand scheme in regards to this community.

As a side note: I chose to join Southperry in particular because of the relative drama free zone it is compared to nearly every other maplestory forum out there.

Glad someone understands the point that's being made across here.

While I hold absolutely no respect for those who hack for their own benefit and/or purchase hacked goods for the same reason, it holds no place here to shout "burn the witch" in a place that doesn't want to deal with it. Sure, you will find someone here who is obviously a hacker in the game to everyone who knows of them but unless they admit it themselves that they hack or break any other rule, they have every right to join the community as any other. They are allowed to contribute and voice opinions, as long as they keep their hacking nonsense out of it.

Likewise, if they choose to be a part of the scumbag community (hackers and abusers, that is), their loss. They can deal with people hating and flaming them outside of the forums, as long as everyone obeys the rules within the site. Anything they do outside of this place is not our problem. If any of that reaches the forum, however, that's when moderation takes place.
