On VZTZ the punishments were rarely severe (maybe due to fear of losing population). The "bans" were really just suspensions, and everybody knew it.

When staff tried to change this and take a hard stance, it wasn't possible because players already held us to that standard.


Moral of the (cool) story? Keep the pimp hand strong from the start, so this does not happen. Training is a very hard thing to police, as has been discussed already, but the second you find someone who is unquestionably blatantly doing it: ban him, nuke his characters, ban his IP - everything. Set the tone early.
