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

It would survive some more scammers and fraudsters, but I still fail to see any reasonable argument that letting fraudsters who have said sorry in could possibly produce any positive benefit. Maybe some more clicks from the drama?

Hobby fraud seems more relevant to the context of a hobby forum than unrelated criminal actions.

Many bad guys also have a wealth of knowledge, so sure they could make positive contributions.

And don't underestimate entertainment value, the threads about which way the market is headed and favorite T206s can get old.

I am all in favor of short term exceptions when a comically stupid one appears and there's a classic thread potential.

I've been meaning to ask you, what is your favorite color on T206's? Do you think I can make money on baseball cards?

red and yellow and green and brown and
Scarlet and black and ochre and peach
And ruby and olive and violet and fawn
And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve
And cream and crimson and silver and rose
And azure and lemon and russet and grey
And purple and white and pink and orange
And blue

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is a great musical, Peter.

It's brilliant. Was it Lloyd Webber's first hit, I don't recall.
