then again, kind of shitty in a lot of ways - the items were tracked down, so why keep the accounts banned instead of just deleting the items?

edit: or allow for a petition to be made where the player admits they received the items, and lists the items - sort of an admission of guilt and in exchange an account reactivation?

It's not an admission of guilt if you only come clean after you've been sent to jail.

Also, 500+ items were removed in 24 hours, and we don't have unique identifiers on items, meaning we'd have to either:

A) Go through, by hand, logging in each character and deleting all the items or,
B) I'd have to send 30 different SQL delete queries to Rogean for the inventory tables on each character to delete the items.

Neither is worth the effort to get some dirty whistles unbanned, particularly when all that needed to be done was notify the staff prior to jailbreaking your banned toon's items. If the first thing you did upon logging in your banned toon was strip it, you obviously knew something was up.
