And yet, the staff don't bother to lock this thread and are even joining in with the discussion themselves.
Maybe they thought that it was time, maybe they thought it was warranted by the instance of losing Lizard87. It is important for a community to go through a psychological catharsis related to the loss/adjustment. So a thread can happen, I don't see it as in any way confusing or hypocritical. Maybe the subtle caveat on the end of the "cheating discussion policy"... "unless the staff sees fit to start one."
Ok, you're welcome to your opinion but I disagree. To me 14 pages of cheating discussion without anyone stepping in is rather counter-intuitive against the staff's idea of trying to lessen the cheating paranoia whatever way one looks at it.
