This isn't really the thread to dispute past actions. Please keep on the topic: a group of people acting in a manner which is detrimental to the server. There are plenty of other threads in which to discuss other things, and you also have the option of starting a new thread. Thank you.

Your OP states that you feel the player base should not talk about the recent issues with "hackers, shady staff practices etc" or question GM decisions due to the potential of scaring away new players. Which is a valid concern.
However, according to you the topic of the thread is
a group of people acting in a manner which is detrimental to the server.
In my opinion 365 accounts caught hacking is far more detrimental to the server than people talking about it. And that is all they are doing, is talking. As far as I can tell the user base has not sent an ultimatum to Nilbog stating that he has to ban every cheater on the server or they will boycott it.
For one he would not care as he has said many previous times and two, it is not our place to demand anything. It is his sandbox, who are we to demand he removes the cat shit in it.
However I still feel we should be able to talk about it. If a new player actual takes the time to read some of the posts he will see 99% of the drama and issues on the server are located in a very small portion of the player base and zones..namely raid areas. Yes people used the hack suite in normal zones and that is detrimental to all our playing. But, not enough to avoid the server entirely. This is by far the best thing out there for Classic EQ cheaters or no. And while the response to the cheaters was too little in many of our opinions that does not change the fact that there was a response and it was in the right direction.
Censoring free speech here will just lead to a private forum somewhere else where people can speak their minds without fear of big brother censoring their threads. And that in its self will harm this server than any thread posted here.
