Exactly.
Don't get trolled, Chest. I was just starting to enjoy our dialogue for once - I think the forum community was enjoying it as well.

Your officer and the Taken officer essentially described the entire situation to us. We'll accept a testimony like that from the party being scrutinized for a violation as hard evidence. So while there may not have been a significant amount of photographic, video, or log-based evidence, the scenario described in as much detail as possible by the officers present matched up with what limited resources we had to review on our end.

Honesty is most definitely the best policy, and your officer did the right thing by not trying to hide anything. We will always be more lenient with people or a group of people who are immediately up-front about a potential violation, be it a mistake or on purpose. I know you guys feel the removal of a Class R Nagafen was too much, but I think it was a light punishment for a light crime, and was our best option at the time - and still would be our best option now.

As a side note, Class R guilds do have compensation to offer Class C guilds during a dispute, but obviously giving up a coveted Class R spawn is a hard hit to guilds who only get a few each month to begin with. Still, in many situations that may be preferable to a GM decision.
