A frank and open dialogue about hacking

I'd ban/infractionate people (depending on severity) if they post an SS containing illegit items and the mod knows for a fact that they are illegit items. If the mod does not know for a fact the the items in the SS are illegit, that's what reports are for, and a bit of merit can be involved (i.e. if we had a pomegranate system, it can help in a manner like that).

That's where things become an epic disaster of he said/she said, favortism accusations, 'why did you punish x but not y' and endless protests of bias and inequity.

In order for a rule to be carried out with any degree of consistency it has to be measurable and have set limits for what is inside and outside of bounds.

Moderators have discretionary power, but that power is meant to cover things outside the norm, and things that stretch or push rules, not to infract on whimsy, hunch and hearsay.
