A cheater who has been busted is lying about what has happened, or that an intelligent, diligent, serious, and competent moderator is doing a bad job?
I'm asking about timmie's credibility, because that is definitely at issue here, and based on my interactions with Titans he has absolutely none. All I've seen from Titans is that they're a mediocre group of players with a limited grasp on how the alliance game works, and a limited grasp on the concept of consequences.
Edit: To be clear, I'd very much love to harass Titans and I'll make no secret of that, but all of my points about moderation and trust have nothing to do with Titans specifically and everything to do with what I think is good moderation policy in general; I'd make these arguments regardless of who was fluffing on AT about their precious little country being deleted.
Seriously, how the hell do you accidentally manage to get your country deleted? It seems to me like you'd have to do something really obvious.

The fact is, plenty of countries have been reinstated once the case has been made. It is tough to make a case when you don't even know what it is you are appealing. The fact that I support him being informed of his indiscretion does not make me anti-moderator or pro-cheater. Timmie's credibility and the fact that he is a relative nobody should not change how this case is handled.
And, Monsters, do not forget to specify, when time and place shall serve, that I am an ass.
