I voted no.

To me Net54 is sort of a close knit community, almost a "baseball card family" of sorts, even though I'm sure many will consider that to be an overstatement.

Paying a debt to society is one thing, but learning from their mistakes and changing their lifestyles and mindset is completely a separate topic.

No one is saying these people shouldnt be allowed back into the hobby. They can buy, sell, or trade at any card show or other website in the world. But if they have defrauded people in the past, I think we should take at least the minimal steps to protect this special site.

Many of us have done some pretty insane deals over $10-grand on this site by paying via friends and family. When I tell my friends that, they ask "are you crazy???" haha.

If we don't have trust here when doing a deal, what do we have?
