You're not telling like it is. You're completely wrong about everything.
The actions taken against LaE as a whole were far harsher than what would be leveled against some "no name alliance". Most of the time, countries we suspect of cheating are deleted and nothing else happens. It's as simple as that. Punishment doesn't escalate beyond that except in exceptional circumstances.
The circumstances of the LaE case were exceptional. In this case, the countries were deleted on multiple servers and none were reinstated. 15 accounts were permanently banned. We made a long post on these boards about the subject. DM was removed from the staff permanently. LaE's API access was turned off and other accounts were closed until the players involved could demonstrate that they were done with that behavior. No one was forgiven. I'd describe it as completing parole.
Have you ever seen us take actions like that against other alliances? Other alliances and countries certainly get deleted. The only reason that you are so aware of the details of this case is because the admins made a lengthy post describing what happened. If you want to talk about preserving numbers, multiply 15 by 15. That's how many countries LaE permanently lost. If the admins wished to overlook cheating for the sake of numbers, we certainly wouldn't have deleted LaE and we certainly wouldn't have made a lengthy post about it. It's that simple.
Running multies in FFA and alliance has nothing to do with accessing personal information, but the only information that DM potentially had access to was whatever you put into your forum profile. That would be an email address and whatever you put into the birthday and real name fields.
Your posts are trolling, sanctimonious garbage. As someone who can "dictate who can or cannot write on issues", I'm telling you to knock it off.
