This is exactly the kind of doom and gloom speech that does nobody any good, thank you Slave for providing an example.
First of all, saying that unless your demands are met, some harm will come to the people being demanded of is tantamount to terrorism, which is exactly what you just did when you said "Delete the cheaters' items or there will be irrevocable damage done to the rest of the server. P99 will never be the same..." This is terrorism plain and simple, and this is the tactic employed by a large majority of the group of posters who are being detrimental to the health of the server at the current time.
Secondly, Skope, while a valuable member of the community, leaving because he doesn't like the rules of the server is not a reason to change the rules of the forum.
Thirdly, Skope has a perfectly legitimate method available to him which has been provided and outlined by the staff. Skope should use this avenue and abide by the decisions or make his decision whether or not he wants to be here.
The above goes for everyone. The mob rule mentality is not getting the server anywhere but downhill, so let's put a stop to it.

Agree'd completely. Pretty much agree with everything you've said so far. Personally I think that our forum which is our public face being filled with unmoderated trolling and bashing is more harmful than cheaters keeping their items. New blood keeps us running. Was the server dead and destroyed before the suspensions? Is it now? Then most likely it won't be when they get back. I don't know about you but I sure as hell haven't noticed any difference in the economy with them being gone.
They made the rules, we are expected to play by them. However since they made them they can change them and they can decide how they are enforced. None of us have the full picture. If you think that by reading the forums you're more qualified to make these decisions your probably mistaken.
I don't think it can be argued that more moderation here would be a bad thing. Trolling and name calling is doing nothing to help our situation.
