Just curious, how does one define "paid their debt to society"? Does this mean that a court of law has determined a perp has met what the court feels is sufficient restitution or incarceration?

What if someone happens to be a victim and they don't feel that the perp "paid their debt" because the victim didn't receive sufficient compensation (or any at all) or the victim just can't get over that feeling of being violated?

This place is supposed to be a haven for hobbyist that truly enjoy pictures of dead guys on card board. If someone violates the trust of hobbyist, should those perps be allowed to interact in this forum (again) and possibly be allowed to become a repeat offender? Isn't that like providing a path to temptation to an ex-offender that thinks they're rehabilitated but might get sucked right back into illicit dealings after a while?

I'm all for second chances but perhaps some guidelines/rules/limitations should be set up to mitigate a chance of a repeat offense. And as has been mentioned, if the ex-perp offends again, then that's it.

How about a new poll, would you rather allow a rehabilitated axe murderer that never cheated a fellow hobbyist to participate on this board or would you rather allow a known card doctor, shill bidder or someone that has committed unfair acts to other hobbyist to participate and interact with the general board population?

Is this a "hypothetical" question to allow ex-offenders on the board?

In any case Leon, it's your board so you'll do as you want but it's nice to know you'd try to get some feedback first.
