After paying their dues, should hobbyists who committed fraud be allowed back ?

If you take the “should” out of it, and make an issue of what one wants, I wonder if that would clarify the discussion. It doesn’t need to be a matter of “should”. This isn’t the only place on the internet for hobbyists, and even if it was, it isn’t an institution of laws, or a convention of philosophers. Making it an issue of “should” elevates the matter higher than it belongs. This is a hobby site run by private individuals. What do the people here want to be the case in this matter? Maybe you like second chances, maybe you want the people that served the consequences for their actions to have earned a clean slate, maybe you just don’t want to mess with it, maybe you want these guys to go suck an egg. They’re all the same as far as “should” goes.

Like jingram058 said, “there is no right or wrong in this, it just is.”

What I want is to not mess with it. No hobby ex-fraudsters. If Leon wants to make individual exceptions, then there you go.
