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

And to Steve right above, I think if you went to jail for something you did in the hobby, that is my definition of a hobby crime. If you are well known, with evidence, as someone who commits fraud in the hobby, that would probably be the same. Think Moser, Desmond etc...
On top of that, if anyone knows any member that has completely reneged in an auction, I would appreciate a PM (kept anonymous) to follow up on.

I appreciate a lot of members saying leave it up to me, but that was what I was hoping not to do . It's been a good discussion so far and I am not surprised by the results. It's not a black and white subject.

I'm probably ok with it depending on how they act currently.
To get jail time for a hobby fraud I think you probably have to be at a pretty high level. And to get there you need a decent amount of knowledge.
Getting extra scrutiny would go right along with that, as well as not being touchy about the massive amount of static they'll get here.

If someone wants to come share that knowledge I'm ok with that.

Sort of an "Info trumps all" thing as opposed to a "Stuff trumps all".
