This is stupid. The people posting negative comments about what's being argued have no idea whats going on.
So many people 2 box on a regular basis, which is clearly against the server rules but never get banned.
Accepting an item trade where duping or exploiting isn't involved should not be permabanned. Many of the items traded were not items that were duped in the first place and may in 50% of the cases been items that were on loan for the accounts banned.
The people that reported the issue were also Nihilum because they were not sure if this was intentional or not and thought it was intentional due to the Pledge Drive for Pantheon and also as a precursor to Velious to drive the population back up.
This is why the word 'Entrapment' is being used, maybe whoever is involved and is raising this with the 'whole of staff' is putting a spin on what actually happened. I understand this whole situation took such a long time to track and appreciate the time the staff put in this game.
They got a list of accounts involved. Run a cross query for these accounts with any item transfers that occurred in a window deleting any items of those IDs' from the account. I'm sure the community would be more than happy to help you with those queries if it is going to take too long to figure out how to do this.
Perma banning players over stuff like this is only going to suck players out of the R99 community. Nilly will just recruit new members to replace these players meaning the competition would have less players to compete with. This is the bottom line and reality. Nihilum has the best leadership on this server, which is why it thrives.

1. The single person who reported the issue prior to the ban's taking place.
It's not as if all these accounts were randomly logged on. Someone logged one banned account, let everyone else know what was going on. Then people logged other banned accounts and helped transfer items. I'm sure no batphoning for usernames/passwords of banned accounts happened either and they we're all logged in on seperate IP addresses.
2. Its a free server staffed and ran by people that receive nothing for doing so. They should take the easiest path when dealing with this sort of bullshit.
