Question: If we kicked out one person for running bomb.pl why should we not kick out everyone for running it? Because they didn't run it too many times? What is too many times? Bart ran it 20 times, Darragh for 50000 and others for 5 to 10 times. Are we punishing Sargon for crashing the server or running the program? We are punishing Sargon a) because of the letter of complaint from the Department of Finance and b) because of advice from the unnamed saviour; as you mentioned... *not* because of the amount of times he ran the script.
For a): If the Department of Finance choose to pursue this further and they turn to us and we *still* have Sargon as a member and we *still* give him the same access rights as everyone else I think they'd punish us unfairly. Oh, and just to remind everyone, if Dave Bolger and Darragh get too much punishment from anyone we will support them. BOTH of them. David Barrett
