And finally - NO - we don't put murderers or rapists in jail to punish them. We make to prevent them from doing it again, and in hope they will take their time and realize what they did was wrong so they will not want to do it again.
Woah, it's almost scary you think that, tbh. That is plain wrong.
Justice means to express fairness, equity and equality. In the case of the criminal justice system it is that the person pays a fair compensation for the crime they've committed.
In other words, we ABSOLUTELY put murderers and rapists in prison as a form of punishment. As a form of compensation for the life or freedom they stole.
If we kept them solely for the purpose of rehabilitation, then no prisoner would be released without a thorough psychoanalysis and each would have their own psychologist and extensive therapy, which is not the case.
Back to the topic. Gnuff betrayed trust, lied and jumped through a number of loopholes, but did he really cheat? He walked some very gray areas, but look through the WarLight rules and see if he broke any rules verbatim.
Gaming the ladder: He didn't play any games unfairly, though the operation of alts gave him a boost, it wasn't technically cheating.
Team Games: Spying on others was only possible because they gave their password. Honestly, it was low and pathetic, but not technically breaking any WarLight rules since he didn't hack their accounts to gain access.
Multiple accounts in tournaments: Unless he used alts to sabotage team games (which I haven't seen yet) he didn't break any rules. Even if it gave him more chances to win, again, it's not explicitly against WarLight rules.
So my question is, what WarLight rules did he explicitly break? If some claims are presented with prove that's a different story. Otherwise, Gnuff may be an ass, but he didn't cheat in the literal sense of the meaning.
